I love this video! It’s so good for neighbors, first responders, and teachers to be able to tell if someone is autistic. I hid my autism pretty well but in school I did have a main sign. I would have trouble staying in my chair and having my hands on my desk. I would put my hands behind my back and push my back into my chair. I would zone out and be halfway under my desk and the teacher would have to keep reminding me to sit up. I love that you made this video.

😊 I have a landyard I got recently that says I have autism on it and the difference in ways people interact with me are life changing for me, it has honestly made a massive difference. Went to pick up epilepsy medication for the first time today and got so anxious I couldn't speak and the receptionist looked at my landyard and was just so patient and understanding and asked if I have anything that said what I needed , which I did and pulled up the message on my phone and she just read that and got my prescription and I was freaking out but it honestly, her just knowing made it easier because she didn't get frustrated or start shouting and my badge spefically says I'm verbal but may have none verbal episodes or be uncommunicative and if I am distressed I probably just need a quiet dark place and not to panic. Normally when I can't talk people just end up getting frustrated and I just get more stressed about trying till I'm literally crying and overwhelmed. Hospital appointment doctor read it mannerisms and talking manner changed and it just made a massive difference. So I believe you completely identifying other auspies can be so helpful 😊 I'm like your boys with tags, we cut them all out , my partner even told his parents who we go to to Christmas to cut tags out of presents of clothes before hand. And I identify other auspies by stimming mostly, also because I'm very conscious of stimming so I have like subtle out of the house stims, but because I'm so conscious of my own I'm like hyper aware of other people's too if that makes sense.

Thanks for posting, this is all so informative. My 2 and a half year old is being referred for an assessment but the waitlist is long. Can I ask about Simon’s speech - when did he start to develop speech? We are very much copying the tv in this house currently.

@7Aheadfamily 9 ай бұрын

Glad you like the video. Simon new quite a few words when he was two, and yet he didn’t use them to communicate. It was very bizarre to tell you the truth. He wouldn’t call me mama. He called everyone dada. And yet he would say things like I like green car to himself while he was playing with his green car. It wasn’t until he was three and started Speech Therapy that he started using words to really communicate, and differentiate names of people. Does your 2 1/2 year old do the same thing? Does he have a big vocabulary but just doesn’t use it?

@paularoberton2952 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for your reply. He will randomly say words really clearly then never say them again, quite often repeating something we say. He sometimes says his brother’s name but then won’t say it again for weeks. But when he’s watching his favourite tv show, he’ll try to shout what the characters are shouting and sing along to songs. We’re in the UK and he’s not been referred to speech and language therapy yet. They’ve given advice and we have a bit of work to do with him. I’m hopeful he’ll get there in his own time… You have a beautiful family and are doing a really great job with your younger two. Why is parenting so stressful?! 🤪

The example of Simon being autistic and social is a good one. My sister and I are both on the spectrum and socially she’s more like Simon like I am. My sister and I are technically both level one (I used to be level two) but I struggle much more with socializing and being able to understand figures of speech, irony, sarcasm, and body language than she does. These are not easy for her but they are much less difficult for her than they are for me.

@thomasschoeck9080 9 ай бұрын

@@7Aheadfamily In addition to an early diagnosis it is also important for the meaning of the diagnosis to be adequately explained so that the parents and other adults in the child’s life can understand what the diagnosis means. Back in the 1970s and 1980s when I was younger this was often not done. I was actually diagnosed the first time shortly after my two year checkup (I think that was even younger than Simon was when he was first diagnosed) after it was noticed that I was walking strangely for someone my age. My parents were told about my diagnosis then but (as my parents explained years later) it was all medical jargon and they were not given any explanation in layman’s terms about what to expect in terms of my social development except for the vague statement that I might take longer to learn social skills than other kids. The specific types of difficulties and what to do at each stage of development was not mentioned. Instead my parents were just given a file folder at the end of the visit with enough information in it that my parents were able to get me into special education classes by grade school. The explanations given were not clear enough to explain to my teachers either what types of social difficulties I was likely to have and what can be done about them at various developmental stages so most of my social difficulties were often misinterpreted (by both teachers and relatives) as evidence of stubbornness, being spoiled (or even being antisocial (with all that that implies)), a lack of discipline (and self-discipline) etc. As a result in grade school and the first year of high school especially I knew the inside of the principal’s office quite well. Finally when I was in college (during Freshman year) I was diagnosed a second time and this time my parents (who were with me that day) were given a better explanation about how people with my Right Hemisphere condition (which is now considered by most medical professionals to be part of the autism spectrum) effects the understanding of body language, figures of speech, and tone of voice (e.g. being able to hear anger in a parent’s voice during a verbal scolding). It was explained that because of my difficulties with understanding irony and sarcasm that some of the apparent misbehavior observed in the first five or six years of my life was actually a result of genuine misunderstandings on my part. For example, sometimes (around age four or five) I would be buckled into my car seat and show some signs of having to “go” (e.g. “The potty dance” (I still wasn’t able to verbalize when I needed to “go” on anything close to a regular basis)). My mother would notice this and ask me if I could stay dry until we get home. If I said “no” she would sometimes say something sarcastic (without knowing that I didn’t understand sarcasm yet) like “That’s great” (or just great)(or terrific or fantastic (or some variation of these)) and you can imagine what happened next. If Simon’s doctor who evaluated him didn’t adequately explain at the time of his diagnosis that he might not understand sarcasm, irony, or other figures of speech I wonder if it might account for some events similar to what happened with Simon after that shopping trip to Dollar Tree and some other stores on that particular very rainy day. I think that pretty much covers my observations on this for now.

I am in my late 40s and I still have difficulties with body language and figures of speech (but not as much as I did when I was younger). Here’s a partial list of expressions that confused me even in middle school and high school: 1. “Don’t give me that look”. Or “Don’t look at me that way”. 2. “That’s wonderful (or terrific, or fantastic)” (when used sarcastically). 3. “Don’t talk back.” 4. “Don’t give me any lip”. 5. “Don’t do that” (without explaining what ‘that’ refers to). 6. “Cut it out” (again without explaining ‘it’) There are other examples but these are the main ones. Since Simon is still pretty young and has level one autism I wonder if he might also struggle with understanding some of these expressions as well.

@@JonBrase Some people can have difficulties with this even when their first words were said roughly on schedule (like mine were). While it is possible that Simon does not struggle with this as much as expected (given his diagnosis) it is still best to explain things clearly just in case. It would be unusual for someone with his diagnosis not to struggle with this (especially at his age). With enough speech therapies, etc. some of these issues may begin to clear up to some degree by the time he is in Elementary School, but time will tell whether that happens in this instance.

If Simon has made any mistakes similar to cutting the lights off the Christmas Tree I wonder if that might account for Simon being labeled as having PDA. Many neurotypicals (including some in my family) believe that no one could possibly make that type of mistake and that it must constitute someone being bratty, entitled, spoiled, and deliberately destructive. For example, some time back this is the response that I got when I told a family member about a kid in my neighborhood who is level two and at least as recently as last year (He may go into first grade this Fall.) still got his potty chair and his car seat mixed up (You can imagine the results.). As far as I can tell his confusion was genuine but I have yet to convince any neurotypical people that I know on this point.

We knew that part of the doctor's statement was factual, but other things were happening, such as stimming, being upset, and acting out, that caused us to get a second opinion.

Unfortunately there’s still a negative stigma associated with autism because of some of the media coverage of it for over a decade (maybe closer to two decades by now). It seems like every time someone does something that is negative enough to make the evening news someone is going to speculate that “maybe it’s autism” even though more than nine times out of ten it’s not. This is probably one of the major reasons why many people don’t want to get their kids tested (at all, let alone early). I could go into more detail about this but you’ve probably seen a number of examples of this in the media already.

@@7Aheadfamily You probably remember that the person who did the Sandy Hook shooting back in 2012 was diagnosed as autistic (even though as far as I can tell he probably wasn’t actually autistic) and the mainstream media and various internet algorithms have made it virtually impossible for people to forget about this. For example, I have noticed that about every second to fourth time that I watch videos on this channel, the autism family KZfaq channel, and most other videos that are autism-related I see ads for the Sandy Hook Promise. Therefore at this point in time I cannot easily imagine people hearing about autism and not thinking about that one event. More generally, many people that I know (and even some relatives) equate having autism with “having behavior problems”, “being a sociopath”,etc. This is why when I told one of my relatives about the two kids in my neighborhood who are on the spectrum I was told some months back to avoid them and their family because they are (supposedly) “trouble” and there was a concern that they might somehow be a bad influence on me even though I am in my late 40s and the oldest one is about the same age as Ezra (plus or minus a year). I mentioned that to him and I only got a vague response about kids being different now than they were in the 1950s through the 1980s. I could mention more about the autism stigma in society and in terms of people I know but this post is pretty long already and I probably shouldn’t make this any more detailed in the interest of keeping the people referred to here relatively anonymous.

I don't know why are young people criticized by their elders. For not being able to fit into political views. For generations, young people have always been apathetic and apolitical to be into politics. To me, there's no need to be judged by older folks and politicians alike. I am not a political idealist. I may be apathetic and apolitical to join politics. I am a volunteer and cooperative supporter. There's no such thing as one life style fits all. It depends on all people and their choices what they want to become. Societal expectations are supposed to debate or depend on all people in their lives, not force or pressure them.

Not all characters, notably young people. Need to have complex ideals. Some people like me, have simplistic ideal views of the world. The kids should have stayed with their parents for supervision and safety. I can defend myself. If I end up in a situation like this, I would try to fight back if peaceful resolutions fail. To shoo them away. If I get chased by a thug, I'll be try to hide away or run away fast as I can. To make sure, I'm no longer being chased. I can defend myself. But, I am intuitive, extraverted, curious, have spatial awareness, get mad a little bit, happy, a crybaby, passionate, and need attention. I view the world through my childlike escapism and creativity. I am glad to be pampered baby boy child. I still have the mindset of a child. That is my philosophy here.

As for me. I'm the oldest child. I am cautious, adaptable, seeks attention, fun, uncomplicated, charming, peacemaker, self-centered, outgoing, seeks approval, and sensitive. These are my personal human traits I was born with.

Autism has nothing to do with politics. It's a health condition.

I know. I don't find my disability as a condition. I am proud being autistic. I feel happy.

It's terrible that people have judged you for Ezra's child leash. I'd be willing to bet they're the same people who make comments like "he just needs more discipline." 🙄 They just don't get it.
