My autistic son was nonverbal & a flight risk when he started preschool. Once he got into kindergarten he blossomed. He started talking & making friends. Now you can’t stop him from talking!!! 😂 I’m praying in due time baby girl will find her voice. Either way she is such a precious angel! 🙏🏾🥰

This is such a huge milestone. I hope you’re being extra gentle with yourself, too, Mom!❤

It melts my heart whenever she says "I did it!!"❤

I have noticed that when I'm playing with my daughter, other kids seem to gravitate towards us. So I try to kind of be her wing man, so to speak, and then I kind of help translate until they are comfortable enough playing together without me but staying near enough to help as necessary. ❤

Her Mother does such an amazing job helping her baby girl understand things.❤

As an O.T., I’m so glad you explain things to people, like echolalia, and why it seems that your dgtr is verbalizing / answering when it truly isn’t an actual « answer « . It can be heartbreaking as a parent to go through this, and honestly, as a Therapist also, but there are those beautiful, unexpected rewards. I started working with a 2yr old nonverbal severely autistic boy that started to make some verbalisations, but his mother and I couldn’t understand him. Then one day at the age of 9 we finally could piece something together, « What do you got? » (He was referring to some toys I had for him on the clinic floor ready for our session) . He had been speaking so fast that we couldn’t understand him! We sat on the clinic floor crying we were so happy. It was the first time he had said anything intelligible, and relevant, to what we were doing . He is now a young adult and primary nonverbal, but is able to use a computer for communication for some things. It was my privilege to work with this family for so long, and I hope that you’re getting the supporting Therapies that you need for your daughter to thrive ❤😊

I don't know why everytime I see this Lil Angel my heart swells up with so much emotion and I want to cry. Makes me think about my Grandkids. You are an amazing Mother, and your love and patience is truly from above!!

You are doing it everything in your heart to help her. You're an awesome mom. God Bless

I have a 3 year old non-verbal autistic granddaughter that lives with me and the minute I found your account on TikTok I stayed up all night long watching your videos about Mikko's journey in life. I understand how you feel when you say that it breaks your heart not knowing how to help them. I'm so thankful that you have decided to share your story and hers with the world because like you I also felt so alone. Even though she's receiving therapy and counseling she still seems so lost and all I want to do is help her. I just wanted to thank you and to let you know that we're not alone in this! Give Mikko a big hug from us 🥰❤️

Day by day mom ... She will get there in her own time. In the mean time, she has you and that's amazing

She is blessed to have a Mom like you. Your approach to her autism is inspiring, and her continuous progress is evident.

I'm autistic. It can be tough. Lord bless! ❤☦️

I love hearing her, "Hi" & "Yeah!" 💖

I can totally relate to this. Watching my 4yr old with level 1 ASD play by herself breaks my heart. Watching the kids in her daycare and school try to engage with her with excitement and her in turn yell and wave them away or run away makes me feel so horrible. Just trusting in God that He will lead her to the people she needs and opens her mind and mouth to community better 🙏🏾 I love that Mikko is saying HI and acknowledging others. She is such a joy to watch overcome things and Watching your Gentle Parenting is a blessing for me to see someone else on this same journey with their little one.

So proud of my Miss..Mikko. ...yes mom, I love that u said u will take her back the next day. So glad ur not forcing it upon her. But, allowing her to do it in the way she feels comfortable doing💜🌹💜🌹

That's a good start Precious, it is very heartbreaking as I know. My 14 yr old autistic son doesn't have friends,he never has😢 I had a lot I wanted to say but I can't cos it's too hard but just never give up trying okay. There are some great kids out there who will accept her for the wonderful kid she is. 🥹💜🇦🇺💜

I work with special needs kiddos (elementary school age), and a high percentage of them are diagnosed with autism. Ofc I don’t know the ins and outs of what you’re doing but I was thinking social stories might be a great tool with Mikko. Regardless, giving her opportunities to make friends and encouraging her to make bids for connection is HUGE. You’re doing amazing ❤️

I remember what my little brother who has autism used to do is play with my sister and I, becoming close with our friends as he saw that we trusted them. From there he started to make his own friends to play with. He's still not all that social, but he often gets along really well with people my little sister and I introduce to him.

She is absolutely precious ❤

She said Hi and she did amazing she’ll connect with someone continue doing an amazing job Autism Parents 💙

Your daughter is such a sweet kid.

The seed has been planted. She will mull it over and next visit will be more encouragimg. We love you guys❤❤❤❤

Thank you for opening up your life to help us better understand the complexities, struggles and joys that both child and parents experience. I love hearing Mikko verbalizing now. Such a beautiful family.

She is so beautiful

When I watch you, your daughter is amazing and I want you to know that, but every time I watch you, it makes me cry because of the music and your daughter being so sweet and when you say you don’t know what to do but you’re trying your hardest and that’s all that matters just keep trying and your daughter loves you and all the people in the comments. Love you too. Don’t worry I’m by your side.❤❤❤❤❤

I love that you are creating the opportunity for her, but not forcing her. I think she will make progress each time

The fact that she was open to the experience is a great sign. You just have to find the right kiddo. Start with shared interests. As a registered behavior technician, I love watching her progress! ❤

I hope she makes all the friends

I have been watching your page for a bit now. Momma, you are doing a fantastic job with her. I love how patient you are with her.

Mom just keep doing what you are doing ❤ Please make sure that you are taking care of yourself ❤ Take one day/minute at a time and always remember to breathe deeply ❤ You got this 😊

She'll be just fine. This is just a new experience. She'll get used to it. Just keep doing what you're doing

You are doing an excellent job mama. All we as parents can do is encourage, watch and support.

I hope she’s eventually able to make friends she can play with and be free ❤

I have this deep love for Mikko. Every time i see her just wanna hug. Glad she has great parents.🙏🏽

Her milestone is unbelievable. Keep it up mommy you’re doing a fantastic job. God bless you both.

She is so cute❤❤❤ I wish you and her the best of luck!

Mom, you’re doing an OUTSTANDING job. ❤❤She’s in great hands. 😊😊

You ARE helping her! This short clip is showing her take first baby steps to socializing with strangers. Big step! She is definitely interested and showing no fear. The way she looked over at you for a moment (😊) Your presence is giving her confidence! You will be back to the park and she will take bigger steps each time. Just like when she had to get used to climbing again. Each park visit will bring about gains. Hang in there, you and she are both doing great!👍🏽💞

Oh i remember that 😢 one day my son finally met another autistic boy and they just sat together stimming and played with sticks. I was so happy. They didnt speak to each other but it seamed like they were communicating so good

Mikko is so adorable ❤❤

This child has totally captured my heart. I have never seen a sweeter little angel. She is adorable❤❤❤❤

Beautiful,beautiful child. Mom may the lord bless u with double the grace a patience you show your baby❤❤❤❤❤

Everytime I see this beautiful baby just warms my heart and just fills me with joy. ❤😢

Thank you for sharing Mikko’s experiences. I adore this little child😩🥰🥰🥰

Hope this little one is always surrounded by loved ones and friends.

There are hidden blessings in every struggle. Sometimes, courage is the calm voice at the end of the day, that says "I'll try again tomorrow." One day at a time 💗 This little light of mine, I'm going to let it SHINE!💫

It was the "yes" with the run when the kids ran away from ths slide that broke my heart 🥺

Mom and dad your guys are amazing with her! Parenting skills are outstanding! Thanks for allowing us to come along this journey sissy! We love y’all bunches from my 💕 ❤❤❤❤

Her words have me in tears 😭 she’s grown so much with an amazing mama

Awwwwww.... Hearing her answer you is one of the best things ever 🙌🏾💕

Mom, you are doing an amazing job. God bless you and your family.

You are doing EXACTLY what she needs from you, the time and support to try new things without pressure!

She is processing so much, the park, the people, the kids, the sounds, the textures of the mulch. With repeated gentle visits (her mom's trademark) she will succeed .

You being there for her and having patience and perseverance mom is the a great help for sure! So many children with issues suffer without an advocate. It warms my heart everytime I watch your videos❤ Prayers for you guys and much love!

I'm autistic (34 y.o.) and you are the best help for here! You know and respect here. Giving here time ist the best thing. Greatings from Germany

I've never wanted anything bigger than for my own kids, than I've wanted for your daughter. Be blessed, you all deserve the most ❤ in the world x

This beautiful baby reminds me of my babygirl she is verbal now and very outspoken because I follow her lead while God helps me understand her view of world. Autistic children are a double blessing and I love mine with every fiber even my son (her baby brother) is getting used to how she roll 😎 she watches your videos with me and actually thought that was her it's SOOOO precious 💞

She is such a a beautiful girl and may the Lord continue to bless her in her learning.

Praying for you mommy. You’re doing fantastic. Please be gentle with yourself…..Mikko will continue to blossom beautifully🙏🏽💞🙏🏽

You know what I LOVE and makes my heart scream, that young children don’t see adversities or struggles, just a new friend, and when they do notice, the innocence of their questions and trying their best to understand is so genuinely pure, they become somewhat even protective of their new friend and their feelings. The joy I have for babygirl to overcome the park, I pray 🙏🏾 that will soon be her forever favorite place ❤

I'm so proud of you momma! You are so patient, kind and loving to your beautiful baby girl. She's progressing so much with your help and support. You are Both Queens 👑💖

❤. Hard part of being a parent is watching your baby show their vulnerabilities. She will make friends.

Hearing her say hi shows how far she’s come 💖😭

Letting her be herself is lerfect..I'm autistic and it took me over 30 years to learn words... don't ever give up because she listens and learns from u every minute with love. ❤

Oooh mom don't feel that way. You're doing a great job with Little Mikko. 🤗 You'll look back years from now & be so proud of what she's accomplished from you being a caring & loving mom! Keep going! 💝

She is so beautiful. I love watching her grow and develop

She's so beautiful. 🥹 my 2 1/2yr old grand daughter is non verbal autistic. She just started saying a few words but not many. And I pray daily she will be able to make friends and live much of a normal life as possible. You're so patient and great with her. I love you girls relationship and bond. ❤

I am learning so much from you. My grandson is 2.5 and nonverbal and shows signs of being autistic although not yet diagnosed. He flaps his hands and makes noises when he's excited, twists his clothing, and has melt downs. I have learned how to deal with these things by watching you with your daughter. Thank you for sharing your journey and you are truly helping people.

She’s come so far🥺😩🥰..you’ve done and are still doing absolutely amazing mama❤❤❤.. this warms my heart so much to even hear her speaking

Mom she’s doing great. You’re doing great. Keep taking her and keep encouraging her to say hello. I know little Mikko will get the hang of it. You guys got this, you’ve already overcome so much ❤❤❤

Beautiful she still learning how to communicate in her own way. She said hi,❤❤❤❤

My granddaughter is 11 years old, a non-verbal autistic child, and I pray for her every day that she will speak to me one day. It's what I live for. She made her first friend at 9 years old.
