Dad, you have the patience of a Saint, God bless you.🙏🏻

The kids are amazing & the mother and father is so caring props to them.

This is living proof that the autism spectrum is so wide but everyone on the spectrum has their special qualities. I am also guessing that Ezra’s bed is now Houdini escape proof? They both seem so content sleeping in the same room. I also admire your patience with them both. A parents love for their child should be totally unconditional and Ezra and Simon are blessed to have you both as their parents. In fact, the whole family dynamic is super awesome.

Can I just say, I was recently casted to play a character with lvl 1 autism in a movie and your channel has been major source of research and great enlightenment that has helped me understand ASD tremendously. I want to do justice to this role and represent ASD people in the most positive way representable. Thank you for uploading these videos, you really don't know who you're helping. Much love ❤ from 🇳🇬

Parents already gotta place in paradise.....they grow old raising their kids and offer uncountable sacrifices throughout ❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing your morning routine, what an adventure every day!!

As a mother of 6 years old autistic child I love watching these videos I learned a lot from them, keep going you're doing a great job.

You both are amazing parents god bless you all

Thanks for sharing I never had a morning routine or night routine growing up when I was little that helped me so now I know if I ever have kids I know I have to stick to a routine

My little boy has ASD too...I think you're fantastic parents❤ God bless you and your children! A huge hug from Italy ❤❤❤❤❤

I think you're fantastic parents! I also have a little boy with ASD...your children are so pretty and I wish you love and strenght. God bless your family! A huge hug from Italy❤!

I was a lot like Simon when I was little. You're doing a great job.

You know, whenever I come across a video like this on others, or children with Autism, it almost brings a tear to my eye. Being I'm on the spectrum myself. All I can say is you'll notice their gifts sooner or later, and to nurture them. All of us that are on the spectrum live with our own demons I like to say, but what makes us so strong is that we continuously get up, day after day and fight those demons head on again and again. Weather it be sensory things, non-verbal things, overpowering smells, lights, etc. We take on this neurotypical world and make sure they know we're here! 😁

I totally agree with Simon in his chose of cereal :)

I loved how you posted the finding socks part (which is a daily struggle for us too) Husband smelling the sock put a smile on my face and made me feel like a human again. ❤

Thank you for sharing. I am truly appreciate the videos and explanations. I want to share that for my kid , I am working with naturopathic practitioner to help to identify vitamins deficiencies, daily protein consumption and food resources that it can help my kiddo. It was an eye opening experience. I highly recommend it. Thank you again for sharing. ❤️

This is a great video because you are helping both boys to find their way and somehow holding them to account. Like getting Ezra to clean up the mess and having a consistent approach. Also not giving them screens 24/7 to keep them occupied. Sometimes when a child has a difference there is a tendency to feel sorry for them or bad for them abd they are allowed to do what they want. That’s fine when they are little but roll on 20 years and you have a big man with a lot of acres soon. I lived and worked with people with autism and I noticed that the people who were treated like their other siblings and given some boundaries , found life as an adult much easier. I’m not judging parents who resort to screens or bribes, but i would say start early with positive guidelines and boundaries just like you’d give your other children .

What precious little angels. u guys are wonderful. I love channels like these. Reminds me that im not alone in raising an autistic child❤

Nice Adam and Holly!!! Great morning routine. Nice job staying calm and relaxed, things can get stressful I bet.

Hi my daughter is non verbal and just so you know your not alone love your channel

Awesome parenting I use to babysit an autistic kid. Keep it up eventually they will tell you what they want

For my 4 yo with moderate asd hes more likely to eat while watching tv. Some say tv is bad but thanks to ms rachel and cocomelon my son can now sing, still wont speak, but he knows a ton of songs❤

Great to watch

Здоровья вашим деткам ! ❤

Being on the spectrum myself, this warms my heart.

You both are such amazing parents and your kids are so lucky to have you.

My son has a lighter Version of Autism. They are children like others too. Just living in their "special" world :) Thank you very much for this Video.

We eat cereal plain and serve the milk on the side. Works for us. Some days he likes both, others he just drinks his milk. We add some healthy bacteria to his milk to keep his gut healthy. We tried different methods adding them to milk or juice. It seems one kind goes better with juice and the other one with milk. Since one of them is enough we try one an use the other one if he didn't like to drink milk. It rarely happens.

Having raised an autistic daughter that was non verbal, had seizures, was diabetic on insulin and had cerebral palsy, it was definitely a challenge but yes she taught me so much. My daughter wore braces as well. She sinced passed a few years ago at 37 from cancer. There are some funny moments that I can laugh about now. One thing I was always aware of is there is constant communication. It doesn't have to be verbal much like your son turning away from the cereal. You are doing everything right. Structure is so important. Sometimes even going down a different street on the way home can be traumatizing. My daughter would not wear hats, gloves, hoods, anything on her hair like elastics or clips and definitely no jewellery. I think the worst scenarios were hospital visits. She was always so scared and IVs were very hard. You have wonderful sons. I noticed you also got the pjs that do up in the back. Good job you guys.

Parents have so much patience!! Handsome boys! So important that you make them clean up! Parents with neurotipical children don't do that

My son too is autistic.Much love from kenya .Your elder son behaves exactly like him

I love what you’re doing each morning to get the boys up, nice and slow. Look at Simon’s happy wake-up face. He loves his mom right now. He is very smart, he knows what cereal that he eats every morning. Ezra seems like he is no problem getting up in the morning. He doesn't like the cereal, maybe the texture of it. You're doing a wonderful job as parents raising 2 boys with Autism.😊😊😊

I love the dog bed thing! It gives a sense of safety and comfort to be inside a small space like that. As a child on the spectrum i frequently crawled into the tub, closets, under tables etc to nap or even sleep the night seeking comfort! Wish i had had my own cool zip up bed like that

Here’s a suggestion for keeping socks together without putting one completely inside the other to make a ball while still avoiding the problem of misplacing some of the socks. Line up the two socks one on top of the other. Then slide one of the socks down about four to five inches or so using the length of your thumbnail to estimate an inch. Then fold the top part of one sock over the top part of the other sock. If done correctly this should allow you to keep the two socks in the pair together without losing too much storage space in a drawer or other container.

I been binge watching your videos and after i can tell Simon will grow up to be a smart boy and probably be great independently. Ezra i dont know what happened but it seems he has not improved at all but regressed. Hes still the same at almost 9 years old. He should already be potty trained , out of the baby chair , and able to communicate some how with yall even if he has level 3 autism we work with level 3 and they arent nearly as regressed as this. We prey for him but you guys will definitely have to assist him for the rest of your life and your 4 children even simon at one point will as you can see some videos.

Boil eggs or some fruits in the morning is a good breakfast to much sugar in the cereal 🥣 or some oatmeal 🥣 or bread with cheese search for Peruvian breakfast or dishes ❤ love kids I have 2

Please were did u get the tent from my daughter would benefit so much this one looks strong .

That dad “he can eat on his own but. Ezra. Can’t. The tired in his eyes

I remember those seemingly endless days where one just kind of melted into another. I have two boys with autism and ADHD. It did slowly get easier over the years, and now that they’re teens, their level of independence gives me time to sit down and relax once in a while. 😅

Try using a phone and put on youtube video of Hey Bear as a distraction or play soft music they like

Just a thought on Ezra meals does he like the texture of cereal and milk it could be a texture preference. A healthy backup in case he does like the texture of milk is to put milk in his bottle.

How are they on school mornings and does Simon need a safety bed or is it just something that he really likes

They're adorable kids. Our fourteen year old daughter is mostly nonverbal.

Im a toddler teacher and one of my kids is austic i let him touch the cereal while its on the spoon. And then i put it in my hand and sometimes he chooses does he want the spoon or he wants me too feed him. And he likes oatmeal too

Aww you guys are beautiful people you guys have cute kids🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰🥰🪷🪷🌸🌸🌸❤❤❤

simon and Ezra are so cute

Sometimes I love night time more than morning, idk why but night time makes me chill

Children with autism feel more comfortable in small spaces. My daughter will fall asleep under her bed or any small tight space.

may i please ask whats that app on the ipad that communicates thank u

What wonderful parents you are ❤ I have twins with ASD who, like your boys, present very differently. It took us YEARS to get them to eat properly. Even now they have some aversions but it’s easier now they’re older. Watching Ezra push the spoon and cover his ears brought back so many memories. I was so impressed how Simon calmly cleaned the food off of his leg. My kid would have had a major meltdown! You’re doing a great job and your boys are lucky to have you. You can definitely tell that Ezra and Simon reciprocate that love too.

I have autism and ADHD, and my medicine makes me not want to eat so I only ate dinner which is not good, so one thing I do to make sure I get enough nutrients each day, is I drink a meal replacement shake, or eat a meal replacement cereal bar, or I eat a piece of fruit when I wake up.

Hi.. I came across your video after seeing my son having difficulty to talk. I am just wondering how old will he be able to talk like a normal person? He is coming to 3 this year and most of the symptoms you mentioned , my son got it.. so do you also send your child to speech therapy or just let them talk naturally on their own? I am so so stressed out right now. Looking at my son like this. I am sorry for being such a judgy mom on my own son until I sometimes think negatively about him..

I was only recently diagnosed with autism and I am in my 30s. I grew up with a horrid biological family I was labelled wierd and laughed at when I couldn't cope with such simple things. I ended up just not doing what was wanted of me and as a result was called lazy. I now have a supportive family around me my step mum took me in and helped me. I love seing how supportive you guys are. It's not an easy job but you are amazing parents :) Am curious about the beds they look cosy are they just like tents? Like can they get out if needed. Sorry new here :)

Are both boys on medication? Also do the go to ABA or have home therapy?

I noticed toward the end of this video that Ezra only seems to be able to tap fairly precisely on the item that he wants on his iPad when he is moving his arm quickly. I notice that he seems to struggle more with this when he moves more slowly. I am the same way when I use my own iPad (as I am right now as I am typing this). This is also the case with me when I touch type on a traditional keyboard. This tells me that Ezra likely has a condition that affects movement like I do but in his case it seems to be somewhat more noticeable. Maybe some additional physical and occupational therapy could help to address this.

Is that an app on the tablet you have to let you know what he wants? If so whats the name

I was wondering how to shower my lilttle brother who has level 3 autism I can’t really understand him since he is non verbal but I can see his emotions I try and try to shower him even a bath does my brother not like the temperature?

When he hit that spoon, i felt that

Where did you find the beds for the boys? I have a recently diagnosed 3 yr old girl with mild autism and she wonders and it worries me ? Any suggestions?

Food is medicine, grains turn to sugar which causes inflammation. Starchy sugars from fruit are far better and have lots of nutrients. Also lots of nutrients in A2A2 whole milk. Almond milk has little benefits and the gut has a hard time digesting.

My son with down syndrome will also push the spoon away from him and eventually eat his food my other son who hasn't had an evaluation yet will be picky with his food things he loves one day he will hate the next it's super stressful

Both of my kids are hfa. My son eats very specific foods and if I Chang it he gets upset. So with him I stick to his preference. My daughter just does not like to eat period...I struggle to get her to eat anything even junk food. And if she does eat its just 2 bites of this or that.

Avionul care aduce mancarea in zbor il stiti? Am stat odata ore pe saptamana sa fac tot felul de smecherii,inclusiv sa ne jucam cu apa de la robinet,ca un copil sa inteleaga ca eu nu vreau sa domin,nu vreau sa il fortez si mai.ales sa il grabesc. Am stat si ascunsi dupa perdea,de un monstru care nu exista. Apoi cu somnul la pranz tot asa,ii placea muzica pe telefon,de apel si chestia aia rotativa cu muzica pentru balerine. Apoi a devenit ritual,stia singur ce repetam ziua urmatoare. Mi-a placut.

2 autistic children!!What a catastrophe. My son was diagnosed with level 2 (moderate) autism at 3, though i was ceryain he was autistic before his first birthday. He was not engaging, there was no reciprocity in our interactions. I spent the first 10 years of his life terrified of the future and desperately sad about the present. As soon as it was clear that my son was disabled, i decided i would never have another child. The risk is just too great.

well i say i'm not a morning person but my parents try to get me up

I just noticed that Ezra already knows what the trash can is for. If you aren’t doing this already maybe you can teach Ezra how to wipe himself and throw away his nighttime diaper in the morning before he starts breakfast. You can also help him to learn how to wash and dry his hands. Hopefully his school is also helping him to learn this. This may help him to develop more autonomy. He’s more than a year older now and he’s probably ready for this.

Where/how to get a communication device?

Can you share more about Ezra’s communication device please?

My comment: a very handsome dad❤😊😊

I have level one autism so it doesn’t really affect me that much and I still do things autistic people do but it’s not as bad

Do y’all have night routine?

My fist born daughter has sever autism

These parents are amazing. Do they know why the children are autistic?

It looks like Ezra wanted string cheese and it looks like his communication is starting to come along here. I wonder if giving him some string cheese (or whatever he asks for on a particular morning) and some cereal (in small quantities to avoid sensory overload) could work. This may give him an incentive to communicate a bit more. On a related note maybe you can try making snacks for Ezra from cheese and fruit. This should be workable as long as the cheese and fruit is in small enough pieces to be safe to eat. On a related note grape juice would probably be safer for Ezra than actual grapes. I don’t know how well Ezra is able to chew before swallowing. That could be an issue especially if he has any conditions that affect muscle tone. For example, cerebral palsy can effect this. I have a very mild form of cerebral palsy that mostly effects my speech but when I was younger it also effected what I could eat safely even into the grade school years. Sometimes conditions like this can go undiagnosed for many years if they are mild enough. If Ezra has not been checked for this in addition to the conditions that he has already been diagnosed with then some additional neurological testing may be in order. To give you an idea of how easy it is for these things to fall through the cracks I was first diagnosed as being on the spectrum and having right hemisphere damage (as as result of complications from a premature birth) at age two shortly after my two year checkup. This diagnosis was confirmed when I was nineteen-and-a-half (nearly twenty years old) during a neurological exam after I complained of optic migraine symptoms to my parents. The one new thing that came out of this examination that I recall at the moment is that this was the first time that a doctor mentioned that I also have a mild form of cerebral palsy. If Ezra also happens to have this (or something similar (maybe a movement disorder of some type?)) no matter how mildly then some additional physical and occupational therapy is probably in order. It might also explain his current lack of speech and apparent difficulties with pointing to specific items on his iPad (including ones that he wants (such as “string cheese”)). It might also partially explain some of his current difficulties with toilet training. Other factors like fear of the toilet (including the flushing sound) could also be an issue. This pretty much sums up my observations on this for now.

Yo soy madre de una niña autista es muy complicado

Scuze,am uitat. Cand venea bunica ,el o refuza,ii raspundea cum era tratat. Invers Ea a tras concluzia,este ....ceva in neregula. Cum sa nu manance ce vrea ea si cum?!

Почему он в кепке дома? Чтобы солнце не напекло?

The parents look and act exhausted.

It looks like Ezra’s already left-handed here. I don’t know how I missed that. But then again out of all the people watching this video it looks like everyone missed it.

My daughter is severely autistic

whats in shake?

I have a question why dose Ezra sit in a high chair

Being on the spectrum also makes me not want kids myself 😅 the curse of hypersensitivity to noise

I have pdd nos and have 2 diffrend morning routines. I live in a housing facility for people with disabilities in holland. I have my own apartment, a cat and 2 rabbits (the rabbits live outside). I work 3 days a week on a care farm with horses, cats, rabbits, chickens and dogs. On my work days i wake up ta 7:45. I need my time to wake up and eat my breakfast. First i hug an kiss my cat and check my whatsapp then go to the badroom. Then i feed my cath and let him go oudside if he want to, put on my clotes and go feed my rabbits. Then i make and eat my breakfast that is coffee (very important in the morning 😂) 4 crackers and a cup a soup while i do diamond painting until is time to go to work. On my days off i wake up at 11:00 and the first part is te same. Because im free i take more time for breakfast some tims i feed te rabbits before my breakfast and sometimes after. I dont like it when I have to rush. I use essential oil in a diffuser, omega 3, magnesium and light therapy in the winter to feel better and happyer 😊

I’m sorry but why does their beds look so comfortable yeah I didn’t know that was a dog bed😅

how old are the two and both only wear diapers at night ?

Or give what he likes to eat and give it too him for breakfast.

Least I have to do the better because falling asleep is a challenge also I get overwhelmed in the morning

I just saw a video break down from a doctor on how broccoli can minimize autism symptoms as it works wonders in the guy micro biome. Please let me know if you’re interested in the video and I will try to link it, God bless.

I am stressed just because of this video.

how old are the kids

Maybe he does not like mixed food. Or round food. Good luck.

How old is the boy

Perché dormono in letti simili alle gabbie per cani?

Oh no this is just I want my way bad bad behaviour is not always due to autism he still is a toddler and certain things need to still be corrected.

Thank god for vaccine

I have an autistic grandson and we normally have to put food in his mouth. He doesnt like loud noises, he will cover his ears and is very active, non verbal but smiles a lot. Very tough at times and very sad, have all I can do not to break down but not in front of his parents. Medication makes him zombie like so nomore of that. Its tough, give you both a lot of credit and big time patience. Lives to play in toilet so very unsuccessful trying to get him to go. Good luck with everything....

Or mixed colours

Try organic cereals that are not fortified or enriched or have dyes 🙂🫶🏼 I have seen many videos of families with autism, they are cutting out gluten & food dyes & vegetable oils & diary & processed meats. I know it’s a lot 😩 sorry don’t mean to be negative or rude. I personally have just stared going gluten free. 🍄1 thing at a time🍄 I tell myself 🤣❤️‍🔥
