    Thank you YouTube creator team for bringing forward Sam, she is a Superstar and most notable message is “BALANCE” I will try and implement this, just keep going Sam 🎉 Valuable message 👍🏽
  • @StarwaveFelting
    I'm on the Autism spectrum and I just don't have the confidence to even speak on my channel so Sam is very brave. I did try, but I have a stammer, so I try to make my videos interesting in other ways e.g. editing, writing the odd joke and just focusing on enjoying what I am making. I will try to engage with comments even negative comments by mildly joking with them. I was surprised that couple of commenters have apologised, not realising what they said was negative.
