She said, “Coco Melon”!

I see so many people saying she’s verbal and basically accusing mom of lying.. that’s very insensitive and insulting! She is learning and growing in her communication but you can tell she still has a lot of difficulty communicating and she is still not able to have significant conversations. Stop making conclusions based on a few minutes of a video which highlights her development ..And if you have an issue with the content remember you are choosing to watch it! 😊

the amount of comments I see saying that Mikko isn't non-verabl or atleast not anymore, they took a lot of work to get where they are now. It's insulting that people are saying this and more about this. Sure she is speaking more but Mikko was non-verbal and definitely has a speech delay [if you want to use the proper term for it. Mikko is very expressionate because her parents let her have the space to express herself in any way means nessacry while trying to guide her to use words or signs to be one of the main communications. Let's not forget that the mom herself is Autistic! She doesn't catch onto everything the kid is trying to communicate but she is trying her best. Maybe Mikko was saying "Coco Melon" but I doubt it since that didn't seem the problem, she had a tablet on her lap and probably would've gestured to her mother about it. No Mikko was uncomfortable, wanted to seat where it seemed comfortable and closer to her parents, Aka the front seats Does it mean I am right? No, this is my guess from what I see and hear and sometimes thinsg gets mixed which is normal. sorry for the rant. I am so happy to see Mikko improving so much but being realistic about and sharing that it's not always easy, sharing situations and signs that possibly could help other people. You guys are doing such a great job with Mikko. She is improving so fast and as much as there are negative comments, it shows that you are just doing the job right and have a good connection with your kid! Keep up the good work! ❤

My daughter had many ear infections. We gave everything a name so I knew what she meant. Kelloggs corn flakes ( chicken cereal) One braid down her back style meant fish. Try flash cards with pictures as well. She's learning how to talk. I admire your patience Ms. Precious. ❤

Mikko is such a beautiful baby girl who is making strides. I applaud you Precious, you are a wonderful mom. Keep up the great work!

My grand daughter is about to be 10. She is blind,autistic and non verbal. Mikko and her resemble each other. Our Harper Kate gets frustrated also when we don't know what she wants. Your channel has helped me a lot. I am Harper's favorite person in this world and we have such a great bond. Sending love and hugs from Dallas, Tx. Love you guys

Mikko clearly said Cocomelon! I love it. She's such a smart beauty. I love this for her 🥰

We love Mikko but mom you rock!!!

I wonder if the parents have a therapist? Raising a child with autism is mentally and emotionally challenging. There were times I had to stay in my child’s classroom because the teachers couldn’t understand her. 😢I remember breaking down and crying in the school playground because I felt helpless. I pray that God sends a supportive range of people to strengthen and empower them throughout this journey. ❤

🌺 With all due respect, I would like to convey that she is an exceptionally elegant and charming individual. 🌸

Go mom! Go Dad! Thank u for explaining both in words & print ! I am a 76 year old retired special ed teacher who used to “tutor “ autistic children at home in one hr segments! Those sessions ranged from awesome to awful but your spirits of patience & desire for Mikko allllllllll day touch my soul! God Bless u ALL!

I recently found your channel and I viewed your older videos…. It is amazing how far Mikko has come with her communication skills…. You and your family are amazing.. best of luck…

when we try to communicate we often put out what we think is communications, but no one else understands. there's no blame, but it is frustrating for everyone Your so great with her, Thanks you!

I just love little Mikko, she's adorable, and Mom, you are doing a fantastic job with her. You rock. Thank you for sharing.

I heard her say coco melon too! She’s learning so much! I’m so proud of her growth 🥰.

So many kids love Cocomelon 😆 One of the hardest parts of parenting is when they try to communicate with us and we struggle to understand them. 😔 For neurotypical kiddos this heightens those pesky tantrum years, and for others it can last much longer. Cheering you and your family on!

You are the best mom!! The progress is amazing!! Miko is doing amazing!! ❤❤❤

Sometimes I think because she is non verbal, you think about it tooooo deep about what she may or may not be saying or communicating. She is a kid, Kids can be impatient, she didn’t want to sit in the carseat. You wouldn’t let her sit up front she didn’t like that.. She was not trying to hear your song, she wanted what she wanted..she’s a kid..kinda simple. Won’t always be like that but sometimes it is… Always with Love , Continue to do a great job with her🫶🏾❣️

She's a daddy's girl❤❤

Mom YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 👏 ❤️ 💖. My continued prayers for you and your family. ❤❤❤

Mikko is at the early stages of language. She has limited language she is not non verbal. The communication with autism changes over time. Language is the most challenging barrier to breakthrough however she has started her journey and is doing well mama.

Coco melon!!! She wants coco melon!! I went through this with my kids when they were learning to talk and I felt so bad when they would get frustrated because I didn't understand them but it got better. I pray it gets better for you too!! You got this mom and dad!! Yall are doing great!

Soooooo WONDERFUL to see Mikko's progress. Keep up the AWESOME work Mom, Dad & Family. Rooting for You❤❤❤

She is so beautiful. You are blessed. She is so smart.

I understand shes nonverbal, but shes LEARNING AND GROWING SO MUCH! We are all so proud of you, we love your patience and lovingkindness. Youre doing everything right. Thank you for sharing her with us.

But she's initiating conversation. She's not always echoing. YAY MIKKO!!!

She’s very verbal….I think the more she hangs out with people her own age, the more she’ll “copy” the way they speak (maybe) ❤

She's saying Coco Mellon and I can hear it clear as day

I'm an elementary school teacher so I heard "coco melon" too. I watch your channel to learn how to be a more gentle teacher....thank you!

Mikko is so precious and she’s definitely verbal now.

Sounds like she was trying to say Coco melon in the car.

Awww Mikko!!! She's doing sooo many new things! I am, over the moon, with joy and excitement for Mikko! And Mama, You are Amazing!! You have shown me so many new ways to handle myself and with the most patience! I've never done that before. Thank you♥️ You are Precious for sho!! And I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you!

You Guys Are Wonderful Parents 👏🏽👏👏🏻💥 I ❤ How Patient and Genuine You Are ☺️ Thanks For Allowing Us To Be Part This Is Helping Someone To Grow Also May GOD Continue To Bless You All Whole Family ✨🙏🏽🙏🙏🏻

She is doing great 😊 Good job Mikko and family ❤

Precious, you are an amazing mum! And good job to Mikko and everyone in the family! We can see how much effort you are putting in and how much Mikko is growing. Yeee! ❤

Ypu are a beautiful family, prayers and good vibes. MIKKO have shown me how much my son struggled, he is on spectrum but not severe but has a degree of these struggles. Nikko is a champion as is her family

Aww look at her just stylin and profilin' in her lil sunglasses...omgoshness too frickin cute 🥰and her voice is so gentle and sweet just like mamas ❤❤ God bless your family 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

So glad your family is together and the love that you all have is heartwarming.

I think in the car little miss Mikko was trying to say « unbuckle it ». Precious you are doing an awesome job helping Mikko find ways to communicate. She’s finally expressing more often that she wants to communicate verbally and that can be so tough when you don’t understand what she’s trying to say. One thing you can do is try saying a word or phrase slowly when you realize what she wants. That way she can hear the words more clearly. I don’t know if that helps with her processing disorders but it seemed to work well with other things you did. You’re right, she is developing so quickly right now! ❤❤❤

She's so polite. Great parenting.

Thank you so much for posting videos. Please continue showing us your journey. I find it really helpful as I am new to dealing with ASD with my twins. Really struggling at the moment. Mikko is doing amazing. I hope she continues to progress. You are my role model. You do so much and more being her mum! You make me feel like I am not alone ❤ xxx

It's good that she is verbal now. She will continue to get better. Peace and Blessings to you and your family!❤

You are such a wonderful mother and so knowledgeable and patient with your daughter.

It's said God doesn't give us more than we can handel, and at times, I want to be like, wait a minute, I'm not as strong as you think, dear lord. That baby was hand-picked from the heavens to have an amazing, thoughtful, insightful, loving mom like you!!! You inspire me as a parent. Your children are blessed to have you❤

She is coming along😢 slowly but surely . I'm alone with her on her journey. Let's go Mikko 🎉😊

She is so adorable!!❤❤huge respect for both of you!!! Wow, that patience and love, respect!!

I get it! I couldn't speak for six months and when ppl can't understand you unless you write/text it is beyond frustrating. Mikko can't write or text yet so it a million times more frustrating. She's getting better everyday and she'll be talking up a storm in a few years

You are a beautiful family! You are awesome parents. I wish I had known what you do and been able to better understand my kids when they were younger. You guys are doing an awesome job!

Thank you for sharing your journey. Thank for explaining your process. My 39 yo son has ASD. I wish I had access to info like this when he was young. I think your are doing an amazing job with Mikko! You are so perceptive and patient. Both of constantly impress & amaze me.

She does real good with Dad he doesn't play!!

Your doing so well Precious and so is Mikko! She has come such a long way God bless you all ❤️ 🙏

You and your husband are amazing.I worked in both mental disability and state facilities girl you are rocking it ❤

Mikko is progressing every day

She is the best thing i have ever watched on yt trust me❤

It helps to teach sign language as well as make a language board and book. I thought you had one, you can put it on the refrigerator and when you can’t understand her, have her choose the picture of what she needs. Then you can fold it up and take it with you when you leave. You can have one page for food, one for songs and videos, one for toys, one for clothes, etc. this helped my son tremendously. ( it’s just laminated pictures with Velcro on the back that sticks to the board/book). It’s hard to explain but if you have email I can send a picture of it. It’s real simple and easy to make. You can decorate it, make it cute and fun(for my son, his had to be plain though). It really does help you to understand what they need and for my son it calmed down his frustrations because he was able to communicate and have his wants and needs fulfilled.

What happen to her gloves that make her stop sucking her thumb?

She’ll get there, she’s using her voice so much more now! 😊

Thank you cake 😂❤ Good job Mikko!! ❤❤❤

I think this family can use all the support and kindness that they can get.

She is talking you just have to make out what she is saying. Prove em wrong Mikko😂🎉

You are doing a great job. I love how she loves talking 😂😂😂 now and as always so so pretty. 😘🤗🫶🏼

Mom, Dad and Mikko , ur are doing an amazing job!!✅

Yes therapy with professionals will be like night and day...itll help you guys so much. I challenge u to at least try it for 1 month while youre waiting

Such a beautiful and precious young lady! I love you Mikko! ❤

I strive to have the same amount of patience as this mother. Being a parent is not easy, being a parent of a child with special needs is another beast. Navigating that life with supportive people help. I hope you have some good and warm supporting people around you. You're doing a great job. All your work IS paying off little by little. She's a beautiful young girl, who is growing every single day and you're doing the best you can mom. It's great enough. You're enough, you matter, and you're amazing.

You are amazing parents ❤ and truly blessed. God doesn't give us what we can't individually handle 🙏🏽 It's blessings on blessings

Keep up the amazing job ❤❤

She's speaking it's just that she needs to be listen to. Autism is nature and nurture. We all get frustrated when we are trying to communicate and we're not being listened too or understood. Her not sucking her thumbs will help with the clarity when she's speaking. God bless you beautiful family.

You are true Angel on this earth. I admire you a lot. Greetings from Poland.

I wasn't aware the mom is Autistic as well. However, she did say that for many reasons they did not seek speech therapy or whatever for Mikko which possibly could have her further along with her speech than not. I know this to be so from a member of my family Mikkos age and from teaching Special Education for 17 years. However, I am in no way taking away what Mikkos mom has done so far. My hat goes off to her and I'm praying for Mikko and her family. They are all very encouraging and a beautiful family!! ❤

Yall are a beautiful family.

I truly believe thru God's Grace and Mercy Mikko will speak it takes some children longer than others But you all are doing a Great Job.❤

Precious you are amazing! ❤

Precious, I salute you!

Bless you, beautiful soul

Teaching my BSL has changed aged our life’s for the better. He and we are so much happier since he’s able to communicate. He’s non verbal too and his couple words he can partially say is near impossible for us as his parents to understand. Strangers have 0% chance of understanding him without signs.

You are the best mom , better that I was with my Autistic son. He has two brothers that he would follow . I would just make sure his environment was safe and peaceful. Fast forward he’s 19 and still struggles with autism but he’s verbal. With symptoms and flat ups. You too are the best parents😊❤❤❤

Love this ❤

We love y'all so much

she's so precious

She can speak well

My daughter who has worked with kiddies on the spectrum for over 20 yrs. One little boy who was 5yrs old went from not speaking, like mikko to talking in almost full sentences in 6mths. She worked with him 3x a week/ 3 HRS sessions ( 9hrs a week for 6mths)

You are so patient

It's clear as day that she said coco melon

May God continue to bless you and your family. I admire your patience and firmness with her. Just continue to show her love and acceptance. She will come around in time. Check out the Son-Rise Program instead of ABA Therapy, which many say can be very traumatic for the child.

You precious are a rock star mother!!!!🎉

Your hair looks so healthy.

I am in my 70's i still have trouble understanding some people because of accent or they speak low, keep it up

Thank you, cake🥰❤️❤️

To me, You guys are perfect parents for Mikko! You are sternly gentle with her as you work with her to discover what issue she has! Please don’t stop working on the thumb sucking as it will ruin her teeth and cause her to need corrective dental intervention. God bless you family is my prayer for you!

May I ask why she can't sit next to you until dad comes out... it's temporary and she wanted to sit with you... while waiting for daddy (not a judgemental q... a query on your comfort or safety fears?)

Mikko is so beautiful and she is very smart.❤

That happy cake dance 🥰

Awwww she ❤️❤️❤️Coco melon💐🥰great job mom & dad🙏🏽 love the glasses

Thank you!!!

I'm clearly hear her saying cocomelon

She's precious ❤ She will be talking your head off in no time. I recommend the Rock & Learn Channel to help her speech therapy along.

I am so proud of you

Mikko is so precious! She said Cocomelon clearly! She is doing a great job 👍🏾!

For people that have never met her. To understand exactly what she was saying is awesome. But For her own mom not to understand she clearly said coco melon. The mom needs to do work too. Cuz the first time she said it I knew exactly what she wanted.
