00:00Hey, Ozman, are you sure that's the right hat for your first day?
00:04Don't be a goober, daddy-o.
00:05Jester is the best one.
00:07It's the Mountain Dew Code Red of Hats.
00:10And the best part is the six-digit.
00:12Oh, do that.
00:15I'm Austin, but you can call me Ozman.
00:17Welcome back, everybody!
00:19I have a lizard named Margie and a killer hat collection.
00:23When I meet people, I tell them everything.
00:26Logan, this is Tyler.
00:27He said we can be best friends.
00:29All I have to do is shut up.
00:32Oh, yeah, I'm also autistic.
00:35Autism presents itself in many different ways.
00:38It's a class for kids with special needs.
00:40They think that it's time that it's only gonna get worse.
00:43Earth to Austin.
00:44I think his brain's on another planet.
00:46Nope, my brain is right here in my head on Earth.
00:50This is not what I thought it was gonna be like.
00:53Shoes on. Dad's late for work.
00:54Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:55One.
00:56Austin, what are you doing?
00:57Two.
00:58I'm failing every day, and the harder I try, the worse I do.
01:01Honey, your mistakes don't define you.
01:03How you healed us.
01:06You've given up so much for this family,
01:08and you have never stopped fighting for us.
01:11Here's to one day at a time.
01:13Check out my sweet new board.
01:14Why are you such a jerk, man? Give it back.
01:16Nah, but you can borrow sometime.
01:18Why do you even wanna be friends with him?
01:20Because he's sad.
01:24Here's a cute fact.
01:25Sometimes a sad moment feels happy.
01:30And sometimes a happy moment feels sad.
01:34I don't always know why.
01:36That's just what it's like to be Austin.
01:38You're doing awesome, dude.
01:40Go on, get back out there.
01:41I can't.
01:42Sure you can. Watch this.
01:44Austin! Austin! Austin! Austin!
01:50Yeah!
01:52Woohoo!
01:54Hey, Oz man, do you wanna fly?
01:56Yeah!
01:58Woohoo!
02:02I wish I could enjoy anything as much as my son enjoys everything.
02:06Woohoo!
02:07Look, daddy, it's a dragon!
02:10Because Austin, every day can be the best day.
02:14Every moment the best moment.
02:15This is the best day of my life!
02:18You just have to be able to see it.
02:21You just have to be able to see it.
