#RyanMcGuire #TikTok #Autism
This is such a genuine and caring family. Mom even helps with the TikToks. They deserve everything that comes from their success.
I'm autistic as well. When I first started middle school, I was so terrified at the sight of people that I was shaking real bad. I used to get bullied by people saying that I was not enough. Now I'm in high school and doing better than ever. People don't Bully me anymore, my anxiety is getting better, and I'm surrounded by an amazing group of friends. Thank you 😊 for supporting the autistic community!!!
you are awesome
He's got the cutest southern accent while his sister hardly has any accent at all. I LOVE his southern drawl. It reminds me of my sweet Dad's accent.
I’m autistic, and this makes me so happy to see that our disorder is being shed to light on a worldwide platform! I love this so much, and he lights up a room!
I’m autistic. It is not a disorder. Please refrain from calling it so.
@@flora36 in medical terms it is
@@samg873 The medical model of disability unjustly pathologizes autistic being. It is “disorder” because society refuses to accommodate autistic cognition, sensory profiles, and modes of communication as normal. Read Joseph Straus’ research on autistic cognitive style.
@@samg873 the medical community is still learning about how our brains work. I am neurodiverse, there is nothing wrong with me. My brain just works differently than the brains of neurotypical people.

My son have been using this herbal product for 1month now so far it has cured his autism and eliminate his lack of social skill as well , now he is verbal , I got this herbs from Dr imenherbal on his channel and it work perfectly . Now my son is completely free...
When Ryan’s eyes widen when he got the jersey & his favourite player said hi, melts my heart.
I'm autistic too, and they are so sweet. I love the sibling bond they have. It looks like they have so much fun together!
Autism is not an illness, a disease, or even a disorder as it's been unfortunately misnamed. It's a neurotype. Thank you for showing that autistic people are awesome and worthy. #AutismAcceptanceMonth #AutismAcceptance ♾♾♾
amazing family story, autism is not a illness, it’s a misunderstanding condition, that needs to be studied more by all of us and other unknown conditions and other things like autism
Thank you for sharing. My 7 year old was diagnosed at age 2.5. My daughter is 10 months behind him. She has grown up watching him get all the attention and not understanding why. Its created resentment. They still have a good relationship. But she doesn’t understand. Also people do not understand autism. Just because they can talk, doesnt mean it isnt autism.
My son is almost 9 and has ASD and my daughter is 6 and neurotypical. I showed them this video to help them understand that the bond they share is going to very special and a little different then other siblings.
My son and I are both autistic, and you’re right. People do not understand. I’m more high functioning than my son, and no one else in my family has autism. Even certain family members don’t know how to interact with my son, because he reacts differently to everything and can’t communicate his feelings or needs well. Even I don’t know how to respond to him at times. I’ve been scolded for his meltdowns, even though he very rarely has them.
I LOVE them!!!! so so so happy for them, couldn’t imagine anyone more deserving of their platform! 🥰🥰🥰
This is what life is all about!! You both are an inspiration and shining example of family love🥰
My daughter was born with autism and that is what inspired me to create a cartoon channel series dedicated to helping babies born autistic. It has made tremendous improvement with her learning and communication skills and I hope it can help your children as well.
I’m autistic, shedding a tear. I would love to have a sibling like her and a sibling like him, they’re so nice !!!
hugs
My son has autism. Sometimes it's tough. Most of the time he's adorable 🥰
Go Brit and RyGuy!! I love seeing how far they’re going!! Keep spreading that positivity🤩
I love seeing Ryan! He gives me hope that my son will live a meaningful life! 💙
Just know that god (or whoevers good up there) put your son on this earth for a reason. Your son wouldn't be here if it wasn't for a good reason. he has a purpose.
I have a milder case of autism. Not only do I hate stereotypes about autism, but stereotyping in general. I believe in going by the facts, not assumptions. I think stereotypes are bred by ignorance, which I also dislike. Wouldn't it be nice if people went by the facts instead of stereotypes and ignorance?
Ryan and Brittany are def two of my fav people to watch! This is so great seeing them on here and showing so many people the beauty of autism and sibling bonds. When Ryan saw D Rose on the video and his mouth dropped was the best part! We all know he’s a basketball enthusiast and knows everything about every player and team.
I could watch Ryan open gifts all day! His pure joy, excitement, and appreciation is so awesome ❤️
Ryan is so witty I love it! How special that the TikTok’s bring so much joy and awareness to others as well as strengthening the bond they have as siblings
This is so awesome to see and couldn't have come at a better time. I have an autistic brother and can see where the sister might feel displaced and also struggle with connecting with her brother. Having an autistic sibling has taught me patience because it can be a lot sometimes.
I’m so happy for you guys!!! Proud of y’all!!!
I LOVE watching their videos, Ryan and his sister have such pure souls!
There is a doctor that you can get in touch with ( Dr imenherbal ) on RUclips . Am excited to share about how his herbs works perfectly in reversing my son autism . now he is herbal with his behavior ok and he can now obey instructions . the herbs has been a positive impact on his and i recommend to everyone too ...
i love them so much💖 so happy they got this opportunity!
Absolutely love these 2 on TikTok. Brittany is such a great sister to Ryan. ❤
I've been missing out on so much! What's their TikTok?
This is such a heartwarming ‘feel good’ kinda video 🥰
Beautiful Siblings working through family issues together.
If most ppl had autism, there will be no wars. Love them. Period
I love Ryan so much. Thanks for hooking him up with the gifts!! 🙌🏼💜
I love them! Their bond is incredible!
These two are sunshine in a bottle. I hope they keep soaring.❤❤❤
I couldn’t stop smiling through the entire video🥹 my fave sibling duo !!
Ryan, you’re gorgeous! You had me smiling throughout the entire piece. Blessings to you and your family! 💕
The gift giving part gave me anxiety. Often people on the spectrum don’t like to open gifts in public because others want to see a really happy reaction that you can’t always give them.
Gift opening is a huge part of what he does on tiktok. This doesnt seem to be the case with Ryan.
I too am HF autistic, people think I am too honest and therefore mean and by no means do I intend to be mean.. I think people need to realize the difference sometimes and see I'm not trying to do that, on the other hand don't ask me silly questions you really don't want the answer to because that is confusing.. and I'll give you the actual answer.
This touched my heart ♥️ as I am a mother of an autistic child.
My son has autism and he use his iPad to communicate his wants and need
I really do wonder how my daughter truly feels having 2 Autistic brothers. I mean she’s so good with them and very protective! But I can tell by her questions that she knows they’re autistic, but still doesn’t fully understand what the effects are. I pray she doesn’t feel burdened or left out, Bc as much as I’d like to think I’m doing my best to make her feel just as important. Im sure there is something I’m lacking though. Ugh
It might be a good idea to just ask her how she feels about it. It's best to clear up any negative or misunderstanding now while she and her brothers are young. Sad to say, many people hate their autistic siblings to the point of bullying them. Sorting things out should be done sooner than later.
@@SNF122784 Have you thought about asking them? Autistic kids usually know they're different early in life so talking about it will definitely help their mental health rather not mentioning it at all.
@@SNF122784 I understand. Non speaking autistic people do understand more than others realize. If he's able to write or type, that might be a place to start.
As for your daughter, if you have Disney Plus, there's a wonderful Pixar short film called Loop. One of the main characters is a non speaking autistic girl, might be a good idea to watch it then have a conversation afterwards.
Do mommy/daughter dates if possible
@@samg873 good idea!
So lucky to have each other. God bless.
I love his reaction when he got the jersey. I hope somebody film him and the family at the game.
I love this so much. My 6yo is autistic and also has adhd. I love ALMOST every single thing about her that is from her autism. It makes her so amazing and the person she is
The few things I wish I could take away from her are the ones that she dislikes and struggles with personally. Feeding issues for one. Struggling to relate to other kids but high functioning so she’s fully aware of it BUT she is amazing and will be great.
This was so great!!! RY AND BRITT ARE THE BEST !! They deserve all of this
I love Ryan and Brittany so much! They are so humble and love God! It’s so enjoyable to get on social media from time to time and see such positivity!
I love them, they bring joy to my life. God bless!
These are the people with the type of love and energy I strive to surround myself with
Love this. Bless you both.
Absolutely love them! I have been watching them for a while now!
How sweet! This made my day!
I love these guys! We neee to see more of them!
I have to say, I fell like Today could have done a better job being accommodating.
It is a well known that many people on the spectrum don’t like eye contact when talking, so why setup the chairs facing each other so closely?
Also, the Terminology used was a bit condescending. They went straight into talking to the sister, and used the word little twice, “Little videos, and little bag”. I also feel they might not have given a list of questions ahead.
I felt like I could in real time see him processing the words just as I was.
I loved seeing him get the jersey and I really adore what these two are doing. But maybe next time they could setup the seats a bit differently?
Social Media was made for a person with his out going personality. comfortable with himself!
Wonderful. This made me smile.
Ryan’s tips of the day are amazing!!! He has the best enthusiasm when he reads! #lovethem
Ry Guy is awesome! I love his accent! Love his sister too.
My 9 year old son has Asperger's it has taken me months if not years to realize I can't communicate the same with him like I do with any other person. I have prayed many times for God to help me communicate with my son better, to be more aware and understanding of all his emotions, words and actions. It's not easy but once you recognize certain aspects of them it becomes a bit easier to identify and communicate with them better ❤️🙏 I love my son so much he's incredibly smart and funny I wouldn't change him for anything 💖
He seems fine to me, even with his struggles he is doing amazing. What an awesome video.
No one said he isn’t fine.
Your comment is a great example of why Ryan and others with autism feel that the message, "autism is NOT an illness" is so important. Although the rest of your comment is sweet, and the beginning of your comment doesn't seem to be ill-intentioned - there is nothing "wrong" with people who have autism. As Ryan and his mother described - autism is just a different way of how the brain functions, but it does not make a person any less, and again, it isn't an illness, so while I cannot speak for the people who have autism as I do not - I would imagine that the beginning of your comment is quite offensive, and I advise that you remove this comment, and re-comment with the first 5 words removed. Ryan "seems fine" because he is fine. There is nothing wrong with him.
Ryan is simply amazing, and this video was simply awesome. :)
autistic people are fine LOL. they are just neurodivergent. they experience the world differently than neurotypicals. it is also a spectrum!! some people are very verbal like Ryan while others struggle there. please seek further education on autism
Dude, that guy got lucky in terms of his diagnosis. I have to wait over 25 years for my diagnosis and now I'm studying to become a personal trainer and on the side I'm working on a website to help people to learn a foreign language. Yes, completely different subjects/ideas but it's all about keeping the mind active and learning as you go every single day.
I never got diagnosed, so every day is difficult even more so heading to 50 years old. I was a personal trainer for 7 years, but found it difficult to really connect with clients. My inability to read and connect with body language and emotion made it that much harder to keep clients.
Love their sibling bond.
Omg Ryan’s adorable! I bet he has made many admirers (and has been asked on many dates) since his sister and he created their channel
I hate having autism spectrum disorder because when you have parents who don’t understand the disability it is not easy. I had it so mild growing up and now most people can’t tell I’m on the spectrum at all….but I had a mother with her own mental health issues that was more like abuse and that is not something to be happy about. I think what needs to be shared more about autism is also the fact that parents don’t always have the tools to deal with a child who has a different way of thinking. Autism spectrum disorder is a disability but it also isn’t. It is a different genetic wiring in your brain as he said here. We need more awareness especially to parents who need to understand that they cannot force us to think a certain way. Also me having mild autism and PTSD is really hard but thankfully I have a great therapist who I see every week. Anyway this is a very sweet story.
I relate to you and your comment. Growing up was difficult, and my parents never understood what was going on with me. Back in the 70’s and 80’s Autism was not a well known “disorder”, so I suffered in silence. I could not tell them exactly how I felt, I just knew I was different. Now that I’m almost 50, it’s great to see more parents become aware of ASD. I am still unable to do some daily activities, but I do have family that support me.
@@taoist32 In the 70s autism was finally recognized and not seen as mother's just not caring for their children. The R word was still used as a correct medical term until like 2000 something
@@mewesquirrel6720 I was never referred to as the R word,but teachers had a difficult time since I barely spoke in the classroom.
@@taoist32 That's great😃I hope the teachers weren't rude about it. Most of my teachers assumed I was autistic (I'm not) because I didn't grasp my learning skills early. Each kid is different
@@mewesquirrel6720 I only had one teacher who got so frustrated she called my mother. Told her I would never make it to high school. I have graduated from college and been working for years now. And I agree, every kid is different. Teachers need to know how to adjust.
Don't mind me just sobbing.
I friggin love these two! Ryan cracks me up!

I love these siblings and their honestly.
Thanks for this. Some people don’t know the positives. My husband is brilliant, reliable, funny, an audiophile, not always the best verbal communicator but the very best poppy to the grandkids, and just happens to live life on the Autistic spectrum.
Loved this video! He was so stoked!❤
He’s so cute and sweet. I love their channel
D Rose is the truth !!!
He’s the cutest! I love him
He literally is sunshine!!
He's so precious 💟😍

Just LOVE YOU BOTH!
So wholesome and special!
I absolutely love these two.

I think she’s used him for money and learned to deal with him for the money. It’s kind of sad. They started to get along when she started making money. Nice.

I cannot get over his southern accent

I thought his favorite player was Captain Coby White 😀. Anytime Coby White plays well, I think about Rye Guy.
