Owen, autistic, 16 months, in his own world

Here again Owen doesn't have his official diagnosis yet until 18 months. I'm trying my best to engage him on a daily basis but he doesn't play like a typical child or respond to me until I sing. He has always loved singing but still at 26 months cannot do hand gestures to songs like pat-a-cake and itsy bitsy spider. He also continues to love flipping through books repeatedly.

I swear my 16 month old does the same. He won't look at me but when I sing he turns round smiles and engages.

Do you mind my asking, did you discover more?

@@bexcpfc He seems to have grown out of a lot of this now and much better. So think maybe he had a delay. But I have experience with my brother and dad being on spectrum so still likely he is but high functioning

My son does the same. When I sing he looks right at me and gives me a big beautiful loving smile. Most of the time I'm chop liver lol.

Autistic children aren't necessarily not ok... to wonder if he's "better" kind of sounds as though he was perhaps unwell.

My son can get like this where he doesn't respond but if I'd said "do you want mummy to read it" he'd be running to me so fast.

Sophia Marsden its definitely typical for some amount of ignoring parents :) Hope all is well!

Let him do his thing and leave him alone, he's in his happy place! You calling his name repeatedly is like nails on a chalkboard to him. When he wants your attention he'll come to you.

Best to leave the parenting to the parent.

@TruPunx89 2 жыл бұрын

I agree! For the ones who dont understand:. Try to imagine being focussed on a task behind your computer. There is a deadline. And someone keeps calling your name and tries to get you out of your concentration. And they will finally try to get you out of it by promising one of your favourite things. While you must do somethiing on your pc.. and go away with the comments like leave the parenting to the parents when the parents obviously need a bit of education. This is stressfull for the kid even if this is a one time thing for a vid to show others. You can explain to them in your own words. This is awfull for the kid. Just leave him be. And i am autistic so dont tell me that its not harmfull at all. I mean no harm with this comment as well. I bet the kid is growing up amazingly amd the parent has learnt much more and wont be this annoying again. Thanks for the video i actually wanted to show someone what being in your own world looks like and i will add to the mum that she shouldnt do what is happening in it.

@@TruPunx89 This is showing an example of an autistic trait and can be very concerning. My child at 19 months is the same way. I guess you prefer for parents not to be educated on child development.

@@davidfox326 you are concerned over nothing. i am 32 and i was the same as a kid. it was VERY harmfull to me that my parents used to call my name, take my chin and turn my head and make me look at them etc. if you want to be educatud on autistic kids you must learn to listen to autistic ADULTS who have been through it. just because you are a parent does not mean you know it better. what you need to do is get an agreement on a sign where he can put his arm up to acknowledge you talking to him instead of repeadatly call his name. he wont suddenly start paying attention and look at you when you do this. it is not concerning at all. what are you concerned of? there are many autistic adults that are married, get kids, have friends, arent bullied. but dismissing the way he is by trying to get his attention is NOT the way. you should be happy with a kids that like to read a book instead of watching tv.
