    Being a parent is so beautiful. This is something I couldn’t give a shit about 3 years ago but legit has me ugly crying now.

  4. As a mother of a son with autism, this is the best Reddit post I’ve ever seen.

    For anyone wondering: the analyst’s name is Dan Orlovsky. He’s a former NFL QB. He was one of three QB’s that played for the Detroit Lions during the infamous season they went 0-16. (He also caused one of the dumbest safeties I have ever seen in a football game but we won’t talk about that.)

    I love this and it’s so awesome! So much bad in our world today but this kid put a smile on my face and tears of joy in my eyes.

  8. Can I add it’s pretty cute a former NFL player/current NFL analyst has a son named Madden?

    I love this! Indiana is defunding ABA services for Medicaid and it breaks my heart how many kids won’t get to speak and progress as far as he has because their parents can’t pay privately. Vote for kids who deserve a chance to thrive!!

    Madden is amazing!

    Orlovsky trying to get Madden to say he (Madden) loves him (Orlovsky) but getting shut down and then going on to address the whole family and express his feelings about them really tickled me! And of, course, what he had to say to them was beautiful

    Having a favorite twin is hilarious, but I mean, if you have twins in your life, you do have a favorite one, right? šŸ˜‚

    ā€œThank you friends. Thank you for hanging out with usā€ is so Mr.Rogers coded, my heart šŸ’”

    As a mother of an autistic child, I see him looking at his son and seeing his progress. Young children with ASD are often non verbal for years, and as a parent, you have no idea if they will ever be able to speak clearly.

    A child with sensory issues going on live TV and expressing himself with confidence is a HUGE accomplishment.
