This story will warm your heart đź’™
When Kate Cortelyou, a 40-year-old mother, learned she was autistic, she knew she needed to share the news with someone very special, her 11-year-old son James, who is also on the autism spectrum.
In an emotional video that’s now touched millions, Kate sits beside her son and gently explains, “I’m autistic too.”
For James, it’s a moment of connection, the realisation that he’s not alone, that the person who understands him best shares the same wiring, the same world.
The two talk, smile, and embrace, a beautiful reminder that autism doesn’t define them; it connects them.
It’s a story about identity, belonging, and the power of understanding each other deeply.
Because sometimes, the most healing words are simply: “Me too.” 💙
