Mikko STOPPED sucking her thumb after THIS! Autistic Stimming

Although this may be working at the moment, we are actively working toward a more permanent solution. Stimming is something that will naturally change as she grows, we just want to make sure it does not turn into a different unhealthy habit. If you are looking to try these mesh thumb guard gloves, they are tagged in this video.

I love how when she first realized she couldn't suck her thumb and you reinforced that the gloves weren't going to come off, she went in for a hug. I saw that as her continuing to seek out a source of comfort to ease her growing distress💚

She engages with the world around her. She said "car" and climbed into her seat. She's chatting and putting on her shoes. You guys are doing an amazing job.

She is doing really well. I, however believe she is somewhat at the stage where it can also be just echolalia. But that is absolutely progress!

@AnnaMari.555 3 ай бұрын

@@ChallieWallie Right. Her mom has said in previous videos it’s echolalia. However, even if she’s exhibiting that still, Mikko’s leaps & bounds from where she was. And it’s amazing to watch.

It’s possible that the gloves also reduce sensory overload in a way. My friend’s autistic son won’t touch certain things because he doesn’t like the feeling on his skin. He actually starting eating things he previously refused to eat once they gave him little gloves to wear to touch the food with. Would strongly recommend getting Mikko in speech and language therapy ASAP if you’re able. She’s clearly very smart and is actually trying very hard to communicate verbally which is amazing. I’m extremely anti credentialism and don’t believe certifications give folks magical powers. But I’ve seen lots of therapists with experience help kids tremendously.

As an autistic person myself, I have always felt that skin on a chalkboard is a worse sensation than nails. That's a screech in my ears. I also have ADHD and like genres like screamo and metal. I can handle that. Touching a chalkboard with my fingertips is screeching on my skin and that is Not Okay. Velvet is also pretty cringe.

@mirotiny 3 ай бұрын

sorry i don’t mean anything negative by this but only to raise awareness. i am very aware you mean good and no harm🤍 saying to us autistics that we have superpowers can be very harmful. it has lead to burnout by trying to reach the expectations put on us, the majority of us think we are not good enough if we don’t have something extraordinary. a lot of autistic people don’t have “superpowers” and we are just as valid, we don’t need a superpower to be respected or accepted.

You and dad, and her sweet siblings. Y’all are killing it, frfr! P.S. Mikko baby, you are one strong cookie to handle that thumb guard. That instantly took me back to when my parents actually tried putting band aids and tape on my thumb to get me to stop, and 45 years later, nothing has worked or changed, 😞 so the fact the she lasted a whole day and took a nap (which is the most important/needed time for thumb sucking) is totally impressive! ❤
