    Katy Perry, you just one a place in my heart. My son is autistic, and everyday is a challenge in helping him reach his potential. If more people like you step forward to help bring awareness to this disorder more children with autism, like this little girl, can have success. Thank you for helping to show these kids have worth.

    You know, it’s always about kids with cancer, downs-syndrom, selfharmingproblems or eating disorders.. sure they need help to but finally someone noticed the autistic kids! My sister is autistic, she is so special and reminds me so much of this little girl! Go Perry!

    As a mother of a non-verbal autistic three and a half year old child, I say THANK YOU to Katy Perry! You will never know or understand what you did for that child!! This is something she will remember forever! All parents of autistic children just want someone who is well known to come forward and help raise awareness of autism. Just by having that sweet little girl on stage, tons of people have probably looked up autism, and as a result understand it a bit better. Thanks Katy!!
