'It wasn't easy,' says a single father of three autistic sons. 'But I'm telling you—if my kids can do it, all these people out here who are, who are complaining about it being uncomfortable, they don't have a leg to stand on.'

"It's unfortunate," Dr. John Brownstein, an epidemiologist at Boston Children's Hospital, told ABC News Live about people claiming they can't wear masks. He said it's"the same as people putting a handicap sticker on their car and using a spot that was designated for someone else.

The Gorski brothers, Emmett, 11, Gavin, 20, and Elliot, 14, are all coping with autism and learning how to survive a pandemic together in close quarters for weeks on end. The American Lung Association and other top lung health groups are encouraging people who want an exemption from mask mandates to weigh their concerns against societal needs to mitigate spread of the virus.

Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association, says face masks do not hinder oxygen intake or lead to carbon dioxide poisoning, contrary to some misinformation circulating on social media."These materials are designed to restrict small particles, not to restrict gas exchange," Rizzo said."Oxygen and carbon dioxide are much smaller molecules than the actual viral particles. So again the science doesn't seem to support significant retention of CO2.

It also takes being smarter than the child. Making it a game from day one accomplishes miracles with children.

Stop posting this garbage; Here's a reason for not wearing a mask, I don't want to!!

Had this happened in the 50's when Saturday movies were usually cowboys, this wouldn't have been a problem. Today kids, you are the outlaws.

A registered nurse demonstrates what happens with oxygen and carbon dioxide levels when he wears multiple surgical masks . . .

Hahaha you should get a card exempting you from the virus!!!

How about, “I don’t have to wear a mask to quell your irrational fear.”

Way to go Mr Balls

9.9999% kids less sick than the flu. Open the public schools!

nice try 🍪

Stop your lies please to scare these kids. I mean it

Forcing people to comply does not always work. Sometimes you have to use psychology, you know like how Lucy got me to to attempt kicking to football over and over...

Masks are friggen annoying. I wear one, but it sucks. Kids are going to hate wearing them during school and frankly, 17-30 year olds do not give a shit and don’t wear them.

Propaganda photo. Why do you need to be wearing masks when you are with your family in the middle of the woods?🤔

Nothing says 'Hey! I love my kids!' More than when you call them out and focus attention on their disabilities with the 'IF myyyy kids can do it...' as the intro line to your little story.

Just tell everyone we’re dressing like bank robbers and going in the place for a hold-up!?🤷🏻‍♀️ Good times!😂

The Media driven Mask fetish is nothing more than Consumer Grooming for the Vaccines. The Mask has become a 'Symbol of Separation' a 'Notice of Disconnection' and a 'Shield of Fear and Aggression'.

He and his family should ditch the masks for this new NIH approved anti-COVID gear:

News flash cloth mask will not prevent virus from being breathed in

TakeAClue, RepMikeJohnson .

And the maskerade continues... Cloth masks don’t work.

he's not a doctor, he's just some random guy you interviewed

Dr. Fauci stated to be “complete” you should ALSO wear goggles. Who’s complying?

Not trying to sound insensitive, but what are the odds of having 3 kids with autism....

Wow! This man needs a gofundme

MegaRevivalVigil

It's not a competition. Some people can't. Get over it.

Edit: Three Autistic Boys There I fixed it for you

Politics Great work dad!! It's America like you that keeps America, America! Love your parenting skills and PATRIOTISM!

Fauci was right before you leftists decided to use masks for fearmongering.

The Dutch are right. You lockdown loons are wrong.

Stop useing this disorder, & acting like all autistic kids are the same. Some are able to do and handle very normal/basic changes or tasks that neuroltypical people can do, and it doesn’t bother them. Some even accept change or being MADE to do things better than other people.

3 boys with autism? God bless them.

Know the facts.....

Here's a few reasons.....

Except the mound of scientific studies over the past 30 years showing how ineffective masks are...

It’s about the lies misinformation closing our country not being uncomfortable wtf!!! And why do all his boys have autism?

WHY DID ABC PROTECT EPSTEIN?

Republican President Mark Patrick Seymour Has Experience As A Caregiver For Someone With Autism

His choice not mine or anyone else. We are Americans an suppose to be free. Millions have died to give you your freedom and people willingly give it up. You have a 99.6 Survival Rate fuck these Governor's Excutive Orders they dont have the power over your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

All this mask hype works with a stupid population,that doesn’t check that there is a worldwide billion business hiding behind.People let themselves getting manipulated and submissive,which has no longer something to do with the virus.I recommend reading the Animal Farm(G. Orwell)

Thank you sir !

Amen! You've raised 3 strong young men. Congratulations!! 💓💓

How does anyone take the right to speak for others? Beyond my comprehension.

Congrats to your kids. They have more common sense, maturity, empathy towards their fellow Americans than some Americans who supposedly don’t have a disability and who need to put their big boy and girl panties on.

I have COPD, and Emphysema and I wear a mask! It’s the right thing to do! Not only are you protecting yourself, but you’re protecting others!

Truth ThinkOfOthers DontBeSelfish

Masks should be optional. Point blank.. no questions asked My body my choice.. right? If you have the option to say ' My body my choice' when it comes to abortion.. then I have the option to say it about a mask sheep knowyourfacts Hypocrite

Awesome Dad moment!!

Both of my girls are autistic and they been wearing masks since March. They don’t like them but they wear them.

I’m sorry but outside!!! You need fresh air outside!

I just simply put it this way “i know it’s uncomfortable but if we accidentally made someone sick, I couldn’t live with that so let’s be responsible.” Don’t be a dirtbag. Wear a mask.

2🙂👍👌✌

Bullshit, my autistic son will not leave his mask on no matter what don't try to make it seem like all autistic people are the same. The first mother fucker who approaches me and quotes this article is getting throat punched then I'm suing you

Amen

Aside from there’s no reason to? The medical advice for a vaccine is flawed? And we’re all being lied to?

Newspapers should instill hope on the readers. This piece is doing it precisely. Really grateful for choosing to file this wonderful report!

This is called good parenting... thank you sir... and thank you to your sons!

Three autistic sons is the epidemic, not f*king Covid.

Thank you there just excuses excuses excuses.

Right on!! Great job!🙆‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Wear goggles. Cover your ears. If you really want to be safe, don't forget your butt plug...

Reusing cloth facemasks increases your chances for catching an influenza-like illness.

Where’s the mother?

Covid is a scam. Yes, I'll wear my mask and play the game but Covid is an absolute scam promoted by the untrustworthy media.

Love those THIN BREATHABLE masks!!! [they don't do shit]

Like the Democrats who are rioting?

Complainers can suck it from behind
