I'm a nanny to a non-verbal autistic 5 year old. He is the absolute BEST part of my day. You're doing great, momma!! And your Lucy is too!!! ❤

When she has the seizure 😢 my heart was hurting 😔 lord continue to cover her cutiee❤❤❤🥰

My son Christopher was diagnosed at 3...he is now 26.. i was a singel mom of 2..i started him in school to help..an i worked with him at home..he graduated in 2015..he loves to clean...he does talk a little more..but its still a struggle.especially when he is sick..cause he is 6.1.an 220..an i am 5.1..but he is so sweet an loving.....prayers she is beautiful

I don’t know much about the spectrum but I have to say you are an amazing mom and it truly shows. Lucy is adorable 🥰

They have a play sink that runs real water it comes with dishes..All you need to do is sit her to the kitchen table and put a towel down before you sit the sink down and she can pour water back in forth without making a huge mess 😊😊 My 3yr old niece has Autism as well and she loves playing with her sink ❤

This mom is doing an amazing job! It is NOT easy taking care of a special needs child. My stepson is 30 years old and has Asperger’s syndrome and developmental delay, yet he’s very intelligent. That being said, working with them can be exhausting.

Great job, mom. Keep up the good work. The more independent she can be the better. Routines work!👍🏽

Kudos to you, you are the best mom for your kids. As I write this, you are saying it! Well done, mom! ❤️🇨🇦

My son does pouring water as well. He calls it "dip dip" he also gets his texters and dips them into the empty cups and mixes them together. I set up a paddle pool in view outside which every morning i clean and fill up slowly with the watering can out back. I live in Australia somits always hot here thus i can leave the slide exit open and watch him collect water himself, from the pool, and use it to play dip dip instead of keeping the tap running. I put a non slip rubber mat in the kitchen to catch spills, it gets slippery. And i also get frustrated because the kitchen area has to remain sharps free and safe, so thats a constant. He also does spray bottle on the windows and bubble gun. He will do this all day, he is 3.

You are doing a tremendous job with your sweet daughter.

My grandson is also a 3 year old non verbal autistic child. Life is hard. Teied reading books, talking with professionals and its still difficult. Im am happy to have found your channel.

Its really good that you are accepting every thing she does and just let her go, oh well the mess can always be wiped up, your a outstanding mom knowing you have to let her go to learn

WOW! You are doing an amazing job at supporting Lucy. You have learned so much about her needs and are encouraging her to be independent as much as possible. Great job, mom!

You are doing an amazing job! All the best, lots of patience - both girls are just great! :)

She’s doing really well. She follows instructions and I saw a little verbalization there. You are doing a great job-early intervention makes a huge difference.

What a sweet little girl and such loving parents sending you all my love and best wishes for the future

You are doing a fabulous job, with little prompts. Such a patient mom.

Great video! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to more.

You are amazing with her!!!❤ patient, knowing her needs, reacting well to them while still having expectations ☺️

You’re a wonderful mother to both of your beautiful daughters. Keep it up. 👍🏼

Wow you’re such a good mum ! What I’m seeing ! So much patience

You are an amazing mom! I applaud you working so well and thoroughly with Lucy. Your patience is amazing.

What a brilliant mother you are

Great Video, lovely family. You are doing a great job Mum

God bless you mom. You are an angel.

Just so blessed to wake up so happy 😊😁❤and seeing moma brings joy😊😊

Mom, you are doing an amazing job. We will be praying for you all. And your home is beautiful!

I found your channel today and enjoyed this video. My 10 yo grandson is on the autism spectrum- he’s verbal but has speech issues. He receives ABA therapy services most days of the week - some days in-center and some days in-home. He’s made tremendous progress in the 5 years since my son and DIL adopted him and his sisters. I wish you and Lucy the best.

I’m exhausted just watching this but you are doing a fantastic job. Having a schedule is so important.

You certainly are the best person for this child my daughter was 3 yrs when she started talking and was not autistic you have to have so my patients well done

U r doing a wonderful job, very patient & encouraging 😊

Your daughter is beautiful and a delight to watch! She's doing awesome and you're doing awesome ❤ She's definitely a sensory seeker and finding ways for her to do that which both give her joy and help teach are so perfect. Structure is so important and you're working so hard on that... There is no blue print for each autistic individual, not to mention each child! But she is communicating with you even though she doesn't use words. You're a phenomenal mom. As an autistic adult it gives me joy to see you invested in who your child is and in wanting to help her with who who she is. Not in wanting to fix her. Thank you! P.S. I love to swing too 🙂

Sis, you r a great mum❤❤❤. I'm a Autism school teacher.keep up your good job n pray to our Lord Jesus day n night .Miracles will happen to your daughter.Amen❤❤❤

You are doing amazing. I’m a mom to a newly 3 yo level 2 nonverbal boy. Thank you for showing your experience - it helps other mamas ❤

Hes a cutie pie, very smart, little autistic. My granddaughter also has autistics non verbal. At this point, she's 2 and a 1/2. Working a few wordslow talker progressing as we go along. You have a sweet, happy camper there enjoy every moment. They're really beautiful blessing to God. Have fun, mama.

Wishing you all the best with your channel. Gorgeous girls ❤

You seem like a good mother and doing great job with the children . All the best for the future ❤. Australia 🦘

You are a great mom letting her be independent. Keep up the great work!

I just found your channel. You are doing great!! I’ve been watching another channel for years and their 18ish year old can’t even hold a pencil. Another task I see most autistic children cannot do is to stir (like in a mixing bowl stirring in circles). Keep up the good work.

Lucy is doing very well. Mom, you are doing a good job!

Thank you! ❤I sent your channel to my daughter. We think my granddaughter is on the spectrum as well at 2.5 years and non verbal. She lives in Florida and they are lacking in facilities that specialize in this so its been daunting for her and her husband both working full time jobs remotely as well as raising 2 other daughters. ❤

This was my son. Diet also plays a HUGE roll in behavior and speech delay. Cereal isn't good for them. Many bad ingredients. Whole foods, organic. I even stopped feeding him store bought bread and mastered sourdough. Their whining is frustration because they have so much to say and just can't get it out. By the time he was 4, the words started coming. He's 5 now and talks all the time, sometimes needs help pronouncing words correctly. Screen time is actually slowing down their progress. They need to watch us talk, parents are actually the best speech therapist. The mess and clutter makes them happier. This is what they call Einstein syndrome. You'll discover that your daughter will be the smartest child you know.. I was just amazed at how much my boy was learning. When he started talking, he was rattling off numbers, colors ,shapes and so much more.

Very hard working mother!

Awww your doing a great job mama 😊

Tara Henderson is a mom who vlogs and her son is on the spectrum too. He does go to a special school- he's about 4 years old......he's one of 4 kids she has. You may want to check out her vlogs and/or try to connect with her!

I have a 4 year old non verbal autistic boy and I really enjoyed this video! I’m going to try that chart for my son for school days I think it’ll really help!

Beautiful children. ❤

Mom she is doing fantastic! You are doing a really great job!!! It's hard to pay attention to two kids at once. Keep it up! There is a couple in Australia that have 3 boys with different stages of Autism, can't remember the name though. Godspeed..

My grandson didn’t talk till he was close to 4 Years old. Don’t give up, I also noticed her jumping in her bed, may grandson jumped on a kids size trampoline my daughter put it in their house and he loved it.

Congratulations! You are doing a great job as a mom and videographer.

You...must...be...exhausted. Bless you, mom.

She is a perfect Montessori child! The Montessori materials are perfect for her, practical skills, she seems interested in tasks like transferring water , squeezing water on the window maybe teach her to use a towel to wipe the window etc.

I love your channel I can never find any routine with special needs children but I finally find someone it just helps to see someone going through the same thing as me with also a autistic 3 year old

You are doing so well mama! My son was diagnosed with levels 2 & 3 (3 is the most severe) autism, and he was also non verbal until he was 3 years old. Despite reading to him many times each day, singing to him, taking him to speech therapy ect he made no progress with his speech, in fact he would get so frustrated when he knew I was trying to encourage him to speak! Everything changed when I started letting him watch nursery rhymes and phonics on KZfaq. His ability to choose which songs or words he would hear and hearing the same words spoken exactly the same way, no change in tone ect is what gave him the confidence to start talking :) your daughter is starting to repeat words, and she clearly comprehends what you are saying and is able to follow instructions, she will be talking before you know it :)

great job mumma ...sweet little girl and very patient little sister x from Queensland

Thank you this is really helpful

The straw in the bowl is so cool

I took so many notes! I really needed this ❤ my 3yr old son is non verbal and I’m going to start implementing literally everything you’re doing!!

Bless you for doing such a great job. I bet its exhausting at times but bravo to you. Drink your water lol...

Thanks for sharing this with us. Amazing content

Hi, you are doing a great job! Your daughter has a great routine and looks so happy. My son is six and Autistic too and it is a lot of hard work but very rewarding to see how far he has come. The spray bottle looks like a great little hand strengthening exercise too and I love the spray gun for outside. Good job Mom!

Thanks for sharing I've got an autistic 3 year old son and yes it is hard it's very hard can you share a video of what you pack in your everyday bag when going out with your daughter or daughters

The Gentle Life are also parents documenting their 3 year old non verbal autistic daughter's journey. Please watch.

Thank you for sharing

Adorable❤

Great independence you're doing a sweet job very sweet❤

Her fine motor skills are very impressive my son has high functioning autism his fine motor skills were not this good at 3 also she knows what shes doing and how to get what she neefs also the fact that she hugged and kissed her dolls displaying affection but yes maybe not the eye contact and very hyperactive probably brain in overdrive . Is a beautiful little girl . May God continue to give you energy and strength 😊🙏🏻

Let me say Lucy is gorgeous!!! I had to stop right in the begining. My granddaughter turned 3 in July and was dx. with Autism when she was 30 months old. She too is a beauty (Caroline) is her name. I had to stop because Caroline's room contains a bed, A locked dresser, and clothes on hangers in the closet! Her speech therapist call it her "prison room"! Can't wait to watch this. Today is Thanksgiving 2023 and she is making progress. So in case I'm too tired to leave another comment.... Know that ur not alone! 😊

I know exactly what autism is like my Madison was diagnosed with autism at age 3 1/2 and today she is 21 and we still deal with this and it's not easy to cope with

She is so cute❤️

Yo are doing a great job. Have a 3 years old too❤

She is so pretty.

Beautiful baby girl

I'll share this!

My son used to work with pecs brilliant idea

My granddaughter is 5 and she was diagnosed at 18 months she was nonverbal until 3 and 1/2 . Her mother bought lots of programs online and my granddaughter sits at her table and watches videos on Noggin. She has learn to speak and say sentences. At 3 she started naming all the planets and she knows how to spell some things and right words. At the end of the day she will rattle off the names of all the characters on the shows she watches. The more you work with her the more she will learn and hopefully she will speak soon also. We wasn’t sure my granddaughter would speak and now she says a lot and acts out scenes from cartoons. She even said trick or treat for first time this year . She is the youngest of 5.

Awww the girls are cute! why isnt she in a program? Not a snarky question but I’m just curious.

Thank you for sharing your daughter’s wonderful morning routine with us!! Fathering Autism is also great channel and they might be open to doing a collaboration video with you!

You go momma!!

She will talk soon, I did not talk until after 3 yrs nor did my son. As I am an adult autistic and manage life just fine, don’t label her but just treat her ways as normal. Looks to me that she will grow well and become a lovely person.like her Mom.

I think eventually she is going to speak in full sentences. She is such a cute girl. She very good in her cognitive abilities and she certainly shows signs to follow instructions. All the best.

Believe me I have THE experience You cannot do many things to help your autistic child It depends on how severe is the situation

Lucy is so cute ❤❤❤

I have 2 boys who just turned ages 3 and 4. They both have autism. While both are considered nonverbal, I believe the oldest will be talking before we know it. The youngest will probably have to use different means of communication for quite awhile (he only baby babbles and says 2 words with a lot of prompting. For now he communicates by pulling on us towards the object he wants and sometimes guesswork is needed. He stims a lot and is sensitive to a lot of things. He is also very oral seeking but will not eat most foods)

Robbie and me is a channel about autistic non verbal older boy (although sadly he passed away) and another one is Fathering Autisim about a non verbal teen girl. Who's channel I might add has made them mucho money..they sell merchandise and I think did some raffles. But from what I gather people were pissed at him for exploiting the girl.

How to you handle trying to keep on top with Lucy without feeling like or actually ignoring or not giving as much attention on your younger daughter? I feel like its so hard to handle both my sons at the same time right now mainly because my youngest is only 3 months.

Check out what non speaking people with autism who type, are saying. This will give you wonderful insight into Lucy. You are such a lovely family ❤

I have autism too ❤

Keep up the good work and she’ll be independent using the potty and talking and doing everything

You are doing a great job raising your daughter! But please get rid of those blinds by the windows, get her a big girl bed or a montisori bed and don't have electricity pluged in next to your water foset in the bathroom. Believe me i know what it is to have a adventures little girl on the spectrum. And when they get bored in their bedroom when everybody is a sleep those blinds and her crip can get her in dangerous situations. My child climbed out of her crib at 1,5 years old fel on the ground more than once. She was a danger to her self, she also ribbed the curtons of the wall. I am scared that your daughter get her head stuck in the blinds. Please don't take my advice as criticism, i just want to warn you for possible dangerous situations.

My twin girls are not autistic, but have develop mental delays in their fine motor skills some social skills so even at eight doing things like combing their hair tying their own shoes zipping their coat just simple every day task is difficult.

🙏

❤❤❤😊

How do you find time for the other child to Make sure she gets attention also? I would be afraid with so much time focused on Lucy the little one will Be left to her own devices. No criticism meant here. Just wondering about the other little one.

I no how you feel because I have ADHD and mild autism 😊

There is another family called fathering autism there daughter is named Abbie she is also non verbal ❤

My daughter Rachel is diagnosed with autism at 1 months old

I have autism as well.

Ummm as a parent of a 34 year old autistic male. It requires so much consistency and structure. Mom looks so tired and the differences in the children’s behavior are so obviously different. Medication at some point will be needed to treat self injurious behaviors and sometimes aggression towards others. I had another child before my sons diagnosis. Be careful and make sure she gets some special time as well. The child with the needs gets the most attention and drains you. Hang in there mom. You don’t know your own strength yet…

🥰
