Great Show! Please continue it.
My entire family loves this show, as does my son’s family and my daughter’s family. So glad to see it continue.

I think the show is great. I have two grandchildren with Autism and they are great kids. I think the world should see that kids with Autism are first of all kids who have to face the same issues other kids face, only with a lot more obstacles. The show is inspiring.
