when I was in kindergarten....teachers told my parents i was autistic....well look at me now....28 yrs later...i generate 2 sources of income in my household $56k per yr....and I did it without a college degree....

The reporter looks like the evil step-mother from Coraline..

Understanding and supporting individuals on the spectrum is a step towards creating a more inclusive and empathetic world. Keep up the great work!

So easy and early to diagnose kids now with “autism”. Some just are delayed and some are just shy type. But they say “early intervention” is the key.

Im going to a doctor to test if I have autism soon. I had a referral today.

Thank you for this video. I was concerned because my two year old is a little slow in language development. She feeds her babies, is social with other children, knows her name, makes eye contact and points to things often. I feel so much better.

I’ve heard this was a sign, and I’m not sure exactly what the issue is but my daughter is 15 months she can walk, but chooses not to. She prefers crawling and barely ever walks. She’s been standing up since eight months old. She has a appointment coming up for her 15 months. Will they bring up an autism screening for me? Or should I bring it up myself. She has a few other signs, but she seems to be doing a lot better than I was as a child. I am 28 and most likely also have autism. It was pretty obvious as a child. I had a lot of family members that tried to get my parents to test me but they never did because they didn’t want the label put on me. I’m going through therapy now and there’s a very large possibility that if she has autism it’s for me. I just don’t want to put a label on her if it’s not the issue. I don’t know why she’s not walking yet. We really tried to work with her but I don’t like forcing her to do things because she gets really upset and I also didn’t like being forced to do things as a child. I’ve noticed if I kind of let her guide me she tends to thrive. But I really feel guilty about her not being able to walk yet. She’s actually very advanced in the talking area which is kind of surprising because she didn’t start talking until very recently. She doesn’t talk a lot but when she does talk, she actually tries to use sentences and can say a lot of different words. I feel guilty because I’m also kind of silent. I do talk a lot but it’s also in spurts. I also get scared because I have a feeling I do have autism and I am her main caregiver. I don’t want it to teacher any bad habits but I’m in therapy right now and trying to learn how to deal with my emotions better as well.

I don't do much eye contact, when I look people on the eye they get nervous and I have 0 friends am I autistic?

Aww I feel bad 😔 my twin sister has autism but I still love her very much 💕💕💕

My gf two year son has it. When I first met him he was constantly moving from wall to wall in the house & wanting to touch everything. It was so annoying plus she told me she wen't to try some clothes out at a store & he was with her. She turned for a bit & turned back to find him missing. She looked everywhere, come to find out he made it all the way out in the parking lot. Somebody spotted & called for him when he was walking out but he just turned backed & laughed. she's seeking therapy weekly for him. I never dated a girl that had a child with autism so I have to get used to this.

My 2 year old brother has just been diagnosed with autism 💜

So my question what if they bby just has a delayed motor skills ?? Idk if I would get them screened soo early

This makes me worried I have a 15 month toddler. He plays interacts with makes eye contact with me, have some vocabulary, social with ppl and other kids. However I find it difficult when I call his name he doesn't respond most of the time, if I tell him BALL, he will respond, because he knows that I have a ball and will give it to him to play with him. He used to be very fixated on mobile phones (now it decreased). I heard not responding to name is a RED flag for autism. What do u guys think

My daughter is 11M she barely respond to me when I say her name. I do call her mamas most of the times but there’s been a few times she actually look at me when I call her by her real name. Idek how I got to this video lol

I still feel 18 to 24 months is way too early, considering they use not talking as a sign when many children start speaking later and are just fine

boi if u dont

GUYS THATS MY AUNT SHE’S ON THE NEWS

I disagree with feeding a doll because one of my young relatives does that but definitely has some of the other signs. My relative might be a borderline case. She loves dolls and is very nuturing towards them and babies.

I couldnt STAND dolls when I was little. Most especially BARBIE dolls 😡. And what did people ALWAYS buy me?? Dolls, dolls, more STUPID dolls. I always whacked off their hair, and lost their clothes 🤣. Once, my brother found one he bought for my birthday, laying in the yard with its leg chewed off, lol!! I think the neighbor kid did it. Parents, friends, family, ASK what they want!! Or pay attention. My gramma knew what I liked. She bought the most cool toys. Books, gadgets, and tech stuff. Yes, even when I was little. She even knew my favorite color. Gads, even Legos wudda been cool.

I have pdd nos which is on the autism spectrum umbrella

My daughter says I eat I eat and momma but is not trying to say words she doesnt wave is this normal at 16 months?

I don't know why normal kids have to feed a baby doll, otherwise it is autism sign? I don't remember I did this at all

The true problem with this test is that it is based on very basic cookie cutter statistics in the American population. If you are like my wife and I, first wave immigrants and our kid is first generation he will be different just based on our cultural differences compared to average American society. Also pointing is an American thing. Primates don't point instinctively, it is a learned reflex. Not only that you don't have statistics on kids growing up with blind relatives, which affects their eye contact rate. I am a mathematician specialized in statistics. And i can 100% say all psychologist studies are extremely tainted when it comes to data. And to discredit even more their statistics, psychologist barely know anything about statistics if you look at they career curriculum. I feel the autism spectrum is way to big in the same way ADHD was a big bucket 20 years ago. Every kid from the 80s was diagnosed with ADHD of some level. I have an incredibly high IQ and I've been diagnosed with Asperger, autism, ADHD and a couple other things . Which again proves the misunderstanding about intelligent people. We live in an anti-intellectual society. This kind of diagnosis that does not evaluate simple things as cultural differences, or simple environmental conditions vs. literature, it's just ignorant. Again when you can say every person in the world falls into spectrum, the categorization loses all meaning and relevance. US is a country of trends, and this is the new trend. Ignorance like this leads to anti-vaxxers and other harmful society consequences. Please unless your kid has SIGNIFICANT signs, not just one or 2 things that don't fit in their 30 second autism diagnosis, ignore this stupidity. If you are unsure get several opinions, go to specialists, invest time in your kid. You might start treating him differently when there is no need for it, just due to poorly educated professionals.

hiii, im da person frm da video and i was not diagnosed with autism 😭!

Diagnosed at five, I couldn’t look people in the eyes, and I didn’t respond to my name witch was the only thing I think I had, I began talking at 8 months old and by 16 months I was speaking full sentences, while walking independent wasn’t until a month later, the baby doll thing was something I loved doing

Did you know infact there is sound therapy to relieve mild symptoms of autism and other cognitive ailments? (Autism binaural beats/isochronic tones) o

its the vaccines

This is far fetched, but does anyone think autism is a side effect from vaccinations??

If you’re seeing Autism symptoms in your baby or toddler try cutting out gluten from their diet. Look for wheat and barley in lists ingredients and avoid it. At around the age of 1 my beautiful son started withdrawing from the world. He became obsessed with pacing, lining up cars and spinning their wheels. His eye contact was very poor and he was lost inside his own head. At times it was as if my wife and I didn’t exists to him. I was naturally heartbroken and frightened for his future. I didn’t understand what had happened to him and I didn’t know what to do. I spoke to medical professionals and, although they tried, they weren’t much help. He was assessed and scored very high for Autism. I didn’t sleep for about three days and was constantly reading about ways I could help him. After much research I found a study on gluten and the strange effects it can have on children. I promptly cut gluten from his diet and the change in him was astonishing. I got my happy little boy back within a few days and after a few weeks he was completely free from the symptoms of Autism. I’m not suggesting that this will work for everyone but it genuinely did for us. If it stops one family from going through the hell that we went through I will be delighted. If it works for your little one please get the word out.

Scam artists
