I have a brother with Autism, this gave me a lot of comfort.
This is awesome! I have high functioning autism. We're all children of God and He loves each of us perfectly
You don't have to be religious to see what sweet thing it is these girls did. Those are true friends.
I'm getting ready for my baptism and I also have autism and after watching this you guys really really care about folks with autism so I'm excited about becoming a member of the church this video touched me deeply cause you guys have a deep heart for folks with autism keep up the good work god bless
We are all children of God. Thanks for practicing what we believe.
As the mother of a adult son with Down syndrome, you dear young women melt my heart. You are making me cry, but they are thankful tears for you dear sisters who loves so purely and give from the heart. I am so thankful for you. God bless you always. I have always loved our Savior Jesus Christ, but when I converted to this church over 45 years ago, I saw what I see today. President Hinckley said it best when a faith leader from another religion noticed we do not have a cross in our chapel. He asked what the symbol of our religion is. President Hinckley said the symbol of our religion is the lives of our people. Thank you God for sending Maddie and for sending young woman who truly are trying to be like Jesus.

I love this. It makes me tear up, knowing how many good people are in this world! Im so glad to be in this ward, i just wish i was in it a little earlier. Knowing all these people, it just is really awesome. I bet Madison is so great full.
What a wonderful group of young ladies! I'm proud to be a part of the church where people really do selfless acts for others!
Anyone watching this in 2020?
2023 :)
And as they serve Maddie, they were also blessed
The way service works really is beautiful.
@@strivetobe It's so true, though. When we serve others, we are so much happier than if we're always thinking about ourselves.
for me i have down syndrome and this video is like one of my very favorite videos and when i watch it um it does makes me think that something like this could happen to me but i know i can do hard things and i am also shy and i dont talk much but i do understand what other youth can do for me and i know that for sure and my friends loves me as the person that i am and i do love that alot so
It's great to know that your friends and family love you. I hope you know that God also loves you. When it feels like everyone else in the world has turned against you, you can know that God is just waiting for you to turn to Him. He knows you and He loves you so much. And when those hard times come, He's right there, standing beside you.
I am a mom of a son who has autism. This is an amazing story. Having also worked with YW on their personal progress, it is difficult sometimes to get them to work on their own projects, so I am amazed they could do it by proxy for someone else.
Reminds me of my little sister, she has Autism. xxx
This is beautiful. My daughter, Laura, is the one featured in the August 2009 New Era, so we loved watching this from the YW in Gila Valley, AZ. We just heard about it yesterday. Thanks.
I have testimony of YW.
I was one of them so with my experience I'm going to share this.
This is very serious.
I know not everyone is perfect but there is such thing as free agency and free will. That's why you made a covenant when you whet baptized, you made a decision and you knew between what's right and what's wrong, it's your responsibility in your actions and decisions.
So keep that in mind with what I'm going to say.
Young women be true to you and others. Don't pretend don't put one face at church but put on another when no ones looking. This is not a game being LDS, learning and in process of getting a medallion is not a game, it's a way of life. This is your heart and other peoples hearts, for your family and future.
Be true to your faith by being the example without pride and wrong feelings. Don't get into group cliques. Don't bully. Don't be the same like everyone just to be accepted or survive in this world.
We are a peculiar people. And our example is Christ.
I really love this
A really nice story and a good demonstration that often the best gift of all is what we do for others.
This is so amazing to see! The Spirit touched me as I watched this video and I know that they did what Heavenly Father wanted them to do. True Christ-like love changes people.
this message like myself. I have my church's friend.
thank you x
very emotional
A lot of people reject people with autism or any other mental issue. But it's not their fault they were born that way; it's just their trial that they have to face on this earth. But they don't have to face it alone. We are not here to reject them just because they're different, we are here to help them through their trial and comfort them and love them and to be their friend. Everyone is a child of God, and we should treat the like they are. Just like they did in the story. Thank you so much for creating such inspiring videos ❤
Thanks for watching!
@@strivetobe ❤
awwww... that is so special.. :)
"For inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these . . . "
People with disabilities are always seen as “the least of these.” It’s just ridiculous. Please stop treating disabled people this way. We do not like it.
I love this! I am getting closer and closer to getting my medallion! I already finished individual worth, good works, and knowledge, and im still a beehive! Personal progress means so much to me and I love it so much!
This is so neat! A speaker in general conference referenced this so I looked up this video to watch it again. Such a kind act of service by this young women's group. "The Savior has done for me and for all of us what we can't do for ourselves." Love it. Keep it up!
That is such an amazing thing you did for Madison! :) & that is so true: The Savior does for us what we can't do for ourselves, just as you did for Maddie what she couldn't do for herself. What a neat YW project! :)
it must hard go through life like that. I really comend these girls for helping her out.
Please don’t feel sorry for us autistics. Many of us do not want to be pitied. Autism is part of our identity.
@@elenalohrey1971 I guess, for some of us, we can't help but feel sympathy for autistics. We can't really imagine what it must be like for you guys and we admire how you guys push through life and through all the rejection. I always think of autism as a super power because all of the people that I know with autism are actually very smart! Some of the people with severe autism usually can't talk very well so it's like they're trapped in their own body. But give them a computer, and they'll type away everything they wanted to say and they understand everything anything any other person would understand.
There's someone like this in my Deacon's corum. Maybe we can do something like this for him so he can pass his Duty to God...
even if it's by proxy I have known mothers personally who have had children married but not by their husbands
Whoa! so amazing! the group in the ensign that did that for their friend....the girl with disabilities...that's my friends sister....she was in that ensign
Very nice! Let us all ,help others, and do good things:). It brings so much joy! :)
These girls are amazing in what they did, they totally inspire me and I'm grateful for their examples Makes me want to do some service(:
It shouldn’t be any more inspiring when someone serves a disabled person than when someone serves an abled person.
SO TRUEEE.. :-)
This video touched my heart and my name is also Madison :)
As Mia- Maids president, I WISH I could do something like this...
im a bee hive for mormon religion
@tayjenna1234 Being Mormon is what makes this part of life the best
@ildivofan1ful Me too. I'm scared that at any moment my room mates are going to come in and wonder whats the matter with me :)
:)
I've gotta stop watching these. I have tears and nose stuff streaming down my face.
I have high functioning autism & for some reason, I am slightly offnended by this.
Same.
Maddison is too infantilized in this video. I am grateful that these girls did their best to show their love for her, but the way she is portrayed interacting with the girls, how they baby her, and how they angelicize her name in the end is offensive.
Thank you for sharing these concerns.
I really love this
