When I was little, I had what I called “B” language, which basically meant every word started with the letter b. For example, the phrase “How are you doing?” would be pronounced “Bow bare bou boing?” Currently, I mumble under my breath constantly. I think it’s a vocal stim, but it’s actual words. It’s not noises like we typically think of with vocal stimming. Unfortunately, the amount of autistic behaviors that exist are light years ahead of the terms we have to describe them.

I do think that it’s actually pretty sweet and cute,every time my autistic 7 year old says words that are off or when he makes up words that only make sense to him,It makes me giggle…Anytime anyone says “thank you” to him he responds with “I welcome!”

Allister is happy to be able to talk I know he struggled young. He is always a highlight. Great job Ian with the camera.

YES! My 8 year old speaks in "minecraft" as he says. And repetitive sounds when singing. His favorite saying is "Wither storm!" And he still struggles with "th", "S", etc. Its very hard to understand him :( Your kids speak so well!

Allister might still be working on his vocabulary and seeing what others hear. It's a process proud of how far he has come

My sons are both on the spectrum and both ‘do’ voices and have vocabularies that have include their own words. My grandsons are currently being evaluated for being on the spectrum and are similar. It seems to be the boys in our family that are Autistic.

It’s good that Alistair is recording himself, talking to Siri, etc. it seems to have helped his verbal development quite a bit. I also watch the 7-Ahead KZfaq channel quite a bit and I have noticed that similar activities in combination with his speech therapy and his preschool activities have help Simon quite a bit with his verbal development. He was considered nonverbal until fairly recently and now (at least on a good day) he seems to communicate almost as well as other kids his own age. That tells me that the activities that are helping Alistair are probably generally useful for many kids who are either level one or level two who struggle with their own speech initially. On a related note I’m level one (I was level two when I was growing up) and one thing that helped me somewhat with my verbal skills was giving me some tape recorders to play with. This was back in the 1980s (when I was somewhere in the eight to ten age range) and again in the 1990s after I saw the movie Home Alone 2.

I have high functioning autism too and I’m able to do voice impressions of a little child that are high pitched

I had this as a child XDD Whenever I got overstimulated out of excitement (I don't have ASD, I have ADHD with sensory processing issues), I would yell out made-up words like "jing-gijong-go" (which doesn't make sense in any of the 3 languages I know), "poopapoops", "ughuyughu" (I gargle too when I say this), etc. I try to hold them back nowadays because I don't want to be embarrassed, but they still sometimes leak out. My dad also does this, making up words and nonsense names, especially when he towards animals lol

Thank you for the education. This is so cool. Didn’t even know about this until today. Is it a bad thing if I have Autism and I enjoi creating new names for things? Trying to see if this is common thing. (I’m an adult, 28 years) Examples: Chocolarry (Burglery of chocolate slice) or Smell-a-brate (Celebration of smells) or have a smell-a-bration. *Self disclosure: For me its like stemming and its relaxing or can even be like a tool for re-assurance (don’t know how it would fit in)

Oh my goodness, Ian‘s voice has changed so much! He’s no longer that little boy I remember seeing when you first started this channel

Thx for sharing!!!💕 My autistic Son has Apraxia of speech... completely non speaking almost 6yrs old... He has an AAC device to use as his voice... Which is how he first told me he loves me... Yes I cried!!! Happy tears of course!!! He does "visual stimming" I learned from his OT what it was... He will spend HOURS like u said about ur Son just rewinding and playing back the same thing on TV over and over again... Cracking up laughing having a ball... He also LOVES to spin SO FAST... Taz is his nickname... so fitting... lol... He's the most amazing human being I've ever known and had the pleasure to raise... He's my cousin, I adopted him when he was 7 months old...🥰 U have a beautiful family... Thank u for sharing ur lives with us... It really helps to see other families of Autistic children... I soak everything up like a sponge!!!🤠💕

Hi! I just found your channel tonight! Your sons are the absolute cutest and your parenting and patients warms my heart! 🙂🙂💕💕

I do those things too like sometimes a word just pops out of my mind and then I think of words that are mostly made-up that rhyme and have the same amount of syllables with that word and then have urges to say it out. I would get reprimanded by my parents because they don't want other people thinking that I am weird. It feels calming from my experience and I still do it only when my parents are not around.

This is the only channel that helped me understand autism in just one video. That's why I subscribed immediately

My child has Autism and he is 9 years old and barely devopling his words and still just makes sounds

On a possibly related note my sister and I are both on the spectrum (she’s level one and always has been, I was level two when I was younger (I’m currently level one)) and my sister makes puns (I guess you might call them) that most people don’t typically make. For example if someone is having a conversation and uses words such as “Misinterpretation”, “Misunderstanding”, or other words containing the “mis” prefix she will sometimes say (usually after laughing, but not always) “Don’t you mean Mrs?”, followed by the rest of the word. Given that she does this but I don’t do it I realize that this is not universally seen with people who are level one and verbal but I have to wonder 1. Have you ever seen or heard of this before? AND 2. If other people on the spectrum who are level one do this how common is it? My parents think that my sister is literally the only person in the entire world who does this but after the number of autism videos that I have seen on this channel, 7-Ahead, and some other autism channels here and there (mostly on KZfaq) I am inclined to think that some other people also do this. What is your take on how common this specific behavior is?

Thanks for sharing this, is very helpful to know more about people on the spectrum!

I also did not speak when I was a child I was non verbal and now I talk because I got a lot of therapy for it. I’m autistic with ADHD I love ur sweet kind son Ian is doing so good ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

From watching the 7-Ahead KZfaq channel I noticed that Simon was using some made-up language that reminds me of Alistair’s maybe about a year ago or so right around the time that he was officially becoming verbal (around the time that he was starting preschool or possibly slightly before). I also noticed that he and Alistair seem to be pretty good friends. I wonder if Alistair has been helping Simon with his speech and perhaps some other areas (in terms of reaching various developmental milestones). On a related note it is my understanding that Simon became officially daytime potty trained by some time in November of last year. I think he’s still doing well with this (in the absence of any news to the contrary (no news is good news, probably)). I’m mentioning this because given that Simon and Alistair are good friends it just occurred to me that if Simon’s potty training during the day begins to regress a bit (as sometimes happens with kids on the spectrum, and even some neurotypical kids (due to stress (for example)) Alistair might be able to talk to Simon and/or be a role model for him to get things back on track should that ever become necessary. Statistically speaking, this probably won’t be necessary (many kids don’t regress, but it’s always possible). Hopefully if this does happen Simon and Alistair will remain friends and Alistair will be willing to help him with anything that he might need some help with. Generally speaking from what I have seen of Simon in various videos it occurs to me that if he resists doing something that his parents or other adults want him to do that he might be more willing to do them if asked to do so by someone closer to his own age (like maybe Alistair, for example). These are all of the ideas that I have on that for now. Back to the topic of made-up language: By the way Simon’s use of made-up language would have been right around the time that he was learning phrases like “uh-oh” or “oh no” or perhaps even a month or more before that, I forget.

This channel is amazing!! keep up the great work

I thought my daughter was saying nonsense (on repeat) once i realized there was a melody to it, i realized she was singing actual songs!! She’s 7 now & takes speech. We can hear some things clearly & some things we can’t. She mispronounces a lot of words, by saying the wrong letter sounds. Like Blue & Black are Glue & Glack. I love her so much tho. We’re just gonna keep reinforcing the correct pronunciation.

ohhhh yesss this is all too familiar to me. My son is almost 7 and has ASD... he's in love with Captain Underpants and will run around quoting every word but in such a way that all of the words mush together to become who knows what. When I ask him to repeat it slower he can, but he just loves talking soooooo fast that it becomes new words to him that he will repeat endlessly.

Amazing video heavy respect to you guys ❤️

❤️❤️ Love your videos and your channel!! ❤️❤️

Happy Thursday I hope you’re having a blessed Thursday and an amazing summer I love watching your videos 💙❤️🤍😎🤩

I always come up with weird and random words and phrases, didn’t know it could be an autism thing The more and more I watch your videos the more I wonder if I am on the spectrum

When I was a younger I used to say "hunna jump" instead of "I'm gonna jump" lol. I used to make up names for animal species too

Wow, same situation with my ASD 4 year old. Verbal but loves to repeat fake words and record himself saying fake words on our phone. Didn't know this was a thing for kids on the spectrum!

I would usually speak in rhythm game sometimes (like words like xronièr, or MisoilePunch, etc.) or fighting game if I am in my own world usually, btw nice educational video :), but yeah I have been speaking certain languages in my own world of what I’d say, like FC (fc means full combo, like getting all notes on a rhythm game) but yeah from a lot of games I’d play, I’d say certain words from them, so yeah, hope you and your family are doing well :)

I've noticed my 4 year old autistic son saying loads of non-words/made up words the last few months. He also rhymes made words over and over running the couch length. I think the rhyming and pacing the couch calms him when he is over stimulated. His every day vocab is really up there and can articulate himself very well, so this introduction of all these new words and rhyming with them is fairly new.

Hi there I really love your videos. I came across on them while looking up stuff for my son Silas who has been diagnosed with autism he is two years old and completely mute. All we get from him are some grunts and growls. What age did Alistair say his first word?

Love the new video thankfully

I miss seeing your vlogs now days!!

Esquee. That's my kid's riff. He says it means "happy."

I think making up words as a kid is very normal even for kids that are not autistic. When was little I use to make up words and talk to Siri it was really entertaining.

When I was even a younger adult, I couldn’t say tropical so I called it chop pickle. I called different din frent. I have a communications disorder with autism level 2 and sometimes I screw up what I’m trying to say because I either do not know how to say the word or I word find and it sounds like I have dementia but it’s my communication disorder. When typing I sometimes type things wrong and it looks very funny.

I think when i was a kid i used to have trouble with sounds and also in reading as well to when I was in middle school i had trouble with typing with computers but i somehow taugh my self.

You are a most beautiful family i've seen . Greetings from Kosova 🎆✨

Love the words I do that too sometimes I did as a kid too it’s super cool

Good video! And Nurgers

To laugh at and to laugh with are two totally different things. 😊♥️

I love what you're doing, but are you able to help me? I am a teacher and i have a kid in my class that I feel is autistic but her parents says he is not. He loves removing his shows in class and he loves making certain noises or even scream, and also bagging (like swinging it back and forth ) to make the sounds. Also he chews mostly boxes and coloured manilla papers. Could it be he is autistic ? Its a challenge for me to find methods of teaching him or even calming him down when he screams and to get him put back his shoes. Thank you for this videos and looking forward to your feedback

Im an autistic afab but I dont remember anything, but I would repeat things I saw on tv that related to my special interests

We love you ❤

All children have personality. Sometimes I think it is just their own unique personality and they like it and we like it too 💙

I made my own language when I was young but it was so difficult no one could speak it but me because it was extremely fast an a humongous word.Can't remember all the words

when i was young (i have autism), i would literally just speak gibberish. in my head, i would obviously understand what i was trying to say, but of course no one else understood 😂

Allistair is a wonderful kid. When have a child I will name him Allistair if it’s a boy and if it’s a girl it would be Astrid. what a lovely renovation you’re doing in your house it’s very luminescent.

That’s really cool and very interesting

Me and my younger brother had two invisible friends named bawty and kato and mom says we played with them just like they were real people for years

Allister is so amazing!

I had my own language when I was little

I've never had problems with speech but I do make up sounds that I repeat which I guess is a vocal stim 🙂

I’m curious, if you feel comfortable answering, how tall is Ian. He has definitely grown a lot.

Inventing language is quite fun idk why I / we do it but we just do I mean sometimes there’s no meaning to it but sometimes there is Edit: What I mean by that’s is that the words that we make/ create have no meaning sometimes but on occasions it does like my friend says pola which means he has a pole? lol so yea hope you enjoyed the deffenition

**Question… did any one of your boys start out being non verbal? If so , at what age did the words start rolling? Thank You 😊 for sharing your family and experience….I absolutely love it…

I had when I was little!

My son who's on the spectrum loves different ways to say his words and we get stuck with them such as milkshake is shakeshake .. ect xx

Nice video

Hi guys, my niece has been recently diagnosed with mild to moderate autism. It's been quite devastating and makes everyone really sad. How do u keep the motivation going? Any advice for parents?

My son is just starting the process of being diagnosed but is almost exactly like your smallest boy. My son is nine. His Daddy has ASD so I had suspicions he had it too but he never so extreme signs until covid lockdowns. He turned 9 in February and while so smart he is emotionally more like a 7 year old. He is also small like a 7 year old. How old are your children and have you ever heard of a child being super high functioning and exhibiting only minor SPD symptoms to becoming low functioning after a hard time in their life? It's so hard. He does have a made up language. My favorite "vocal stem" as you wife put it is when he repeats "sodi-da sodi-da." A bit of Sprite makes him super happy so he even calls soda, "sodi-da" now.

I have Tourette’s and some words *feel* good to say. It’s definitely a stim of mine. The way the word feels to say, how loud or quiet it is - does it echo? Which objects do the sound waves bounce off of. I’ve never tried to explain it before but that’s my experience.

YES! the ice scraper was called the snowy mah-doe-vee and the bug water bottle for the water dispenser was called the gah-dah-dah and the windshield wipers were mah-yees we still call those things that 🤣 I made that up when I was little

I sometimes call my friends dog Smagglefraggle or smuffrey. His name is Smurfy.

Eden likes to chat to Siri or record herself talking / singing. She often comes out with words that I have no idea what they mean too!

Wow, 61 likes👍👍 ❤❤🥰🥰😘😘😲😲🌈🌈 Good job of kitchen, I miss you I can't wait to see new video, what happens next? Thank you for update. Kids grow up to fast..

Ahh my autistic 3 year old is constantly making up gibberish lol and when I repeat it back to her she finds it hilarious 😂 she has lots of made up words that we have adopted as a part of our regular speech now, like ammi means food, shoop is drink, and loads others. I've always done the same tbh, I'm not diagnosed autistic though but I am going to be assessed soon.

For some reason The Ketchup Song came to mind. They once said the chorus in the song was a made up language between the sisters when they where young.

I wish all the best for you and beautiful family Allah bless you .

My little cousin mimics Disney movie lines

I do this too. And people copy me and I hate it. I feel like people are making fun of me. I have high functioning autism.

For me, I kinda have my own world type of a deal. Right now, I am in a viking/hippie phase (because of these characters on my favorite TV show lol). So I tend to be a viking AND a hippie. I feel it's kinda my comfort spot.

I love the word squeak a lot. So I’ll add words on to squeak. For example, I’ll say squeak monster. Or get squeaked. I have a squeaky ball, and I’ve had a squeaky ball ever since I was little, and my mom would squeak me with it, and she’d say, squeak squeak.

My youngest son has autism he dose sweetish chef all the time he to is calm after he dose the vocal stemming

Funny, I used to do this with a few things haha

I still have ma own verzon of words that i like 2 say. Itz kinda stuk wit me frm wen i was a kid.

My child can Not speak. Waht can I doing for hem. I m very sad😭

i made up my own language i call it ryan language basically every word has the letter r somewhere like if it was the word fluffy it would be flruffy idk i guess my fav letter is r because I'm a pirate lol

Ian reminds me of my cousin :)

How is Ian doing today he is awesome

I think I used to be like this but I don't remember when🤔

I make made up words from video games and tv and tablets. My mom says that it is called scripting. Scripting is basically where you are supposed to be non verbal but at some point you pretty much copy what everyone else says even if it doesn’t make since in society.I actually do what Alistair does when I’m supposed to be sleeping and I will have conservations with myself and don’t go to bed until midnight. I also do that with certain words like truck and frog. So that becomes (fruck)fork becomes the bad f word. Sometimes I do what Alistair does where I will mess with Siri or with the Google home and it will say I don’t understand or something like that. I have actually used my kindle so many times to where we had to order a new fire tablet for me because it has no more storage, doesn’t hold a charge and can’t hold onto a Wifi connection because I used it every day.

I think all kids do this with words!

I made up words in my family and my parents tried to get one into the dictionary

Hollow-Finkelhuben unüsieberlich green Brützenflick 💪🧠👍

when i was little i used to deform and i thought it was funny so i kept saying these words

Look into bio med or functional medicine for autism, it will help your kids

I admit I do this 😁😁

People also hear Lisa from Nathan

Best Autism-Coverage, truly Legendary: Hbomberguy. Dont wonder when you see this same comment here many times - dont mistake me for a bot, im just someone who wants to share Fun/Knowledge.

Not sure if it counts, but my brother and I would call each other (both autistic) “Stupidoh” instead of a normal insult, not sure why

How old is everyone now? I haven’t watched for a little while

How old is ethan now

I have language toss dit bonjo watara wam buha I love making my words up on really like alot

I’ll tell you, when I was a kid and I have autism by the way when I was a kid I made up a thing for Puppy because I couldn’t say Puppy very well, so I said this.puttapy that’s how I said Puppy. It was actually supposed to be but P. But a friend of mine came up with Potter P one night when she was asleep and couldn’t say it right I mean, PUTTAPY. Sorry about that I don’t know why I said it like that. I remember I was a kid I would say I wanna put the puppy. I mean I want to pet the puppy but it came out the other way. Weird huh? I know I’ve came up with Potter Potter Potter‘s Maui Maui hours Americans male pup pow Malmo meow even dictation really messed up OK I’m gonna try to spell these the best I can we’ll see what happens here you go! Pittas mow as Uttaranchal OK this is not working the way I wanted it to. OK that’s not gonna work either apparently can’t spell checks everything. I don’t know how I can show it to you it’s just quite funny the way we do stuff like instead of a puppy or a pot to pee I’ll say Potter or Mela survive that. Like instead of saying Puppy I would say Potter P. Pot to pee OK this thing is not working well anyway I am a thing about Puppy that I would talk about my putters or your stomach that was kind of weird oh no dictation really doesn’t do well out cash anyway, you get the picture I have my own weird language about puppies and such like that so yeah and Puppy is a word that I love because there must be a soft warm puppies and how precious they are

What other meme that I can make

Hello thanks for All amazing awesome vlogs could I please be all your sons best friend ever and all your family best friend ever from Mark
