Rainbowland Autism Services: Our YouTube Channel

Our YouTube Channel

RAS has a YouTube channel where various videos are posted for autism awareness and advocacy. The channel videos also provide an insight into how we are raising our children who are all on the autism spectrum.

Today we uploaded videos of our sons, Jacob and Aaron, who at 4 years of age experienced the joy and spirit of Christmas for the first time, while playing dress up with their sister Kristie. Up until Christmas 2008, they didn't appear to be interested in the presents and certainly didn't understand what the day was all about.

The concept of Santa wasn't clear to them until Christmas 2009, where they finally understood that Santa brings children gifts on Christmas morning and you have loads of fun opening them.
