Of all the Channels about autism this is the only one that doesn’t give me anxiety about my son’s diagnosis. Actually it gives so much hope and make absolutely comfortable of listening all this information. I just wanted you to know That the day I find you was the same day that I started to accept and embrace autism . Every time I feel lost or scare about it I am going back to see your videos

I just came across this video on my recommended and I want to share my experience as an autistic person and hopefully help some families. I want to preface this by saying, no child is the same, autistic or not. And having "normal" speech should never be the goal. Everyone communicates differently and some of us (autistic) people have no interest in verbally speaking or we are unable. This does not mean we don't understand you. It just means that we do not communicate in the same way as you. I understand it's difficult, but consider it as a language barrier. There are ways around it such as figuring out hand signals or using devices where the child can either type, write or select things that will speak for us. I know a lot of parents want their child to have an easy life and getting your child to interact in a way that you deem acceptable is understandable. But from our end, what you're saying is that the way we are isn't good enough, that we have to put on an act (masking) and perform for you. There are absolutely times where your kid will need to mask, and that's okay. But if they are put in a situation where they have to mask constantly, it is incredibly draining and will leave your kid burnt out. From there it's so easy to spiral into depression, you lose your sense of identity, you essentially become the mask. Please be wary of your sources, there is always a bias and misinformation is so widespread through the autistic community. Please listen to us when we say Autism Speaks is a hate group. They perpetuate the idea that autism is a disease, something to be cured. They promote ABA therapy (yes, it can work for some individuals but the therapy more often than not uses abusive tactics to force us to mask and "appear normal"). ASAN is an organisation made for autistics by autistics, please consider listening to them over Autism Speaks. Another thing I ask people to keep in mind is that autistic people very often have something called emotion blindness. To describe it, it's like being very overwhelmed with an emotion but you have no idea what it is. It's intense and very hard to deal with, sometimes leading to a meltdown. We want to figure out what it is just as much as you do, but sometimes it's best to just find a way to help us cope with it first. Techniques will work differently for everyone but things that help me are; removing myself from a situation and going somewhere quiet, dark or softly lit, having a toy to stim with, watching a funny youtube video, listening to music or wrapping myself in a soft fuzzy blanket. The goal should never be making your kid "normal". It should be about finding ways to help them navigate life in their own way. We are never going to be like a neurotypical person and that's okay. Please listen to us. Please understand we do love you, we do appreciate everything you do for us. We just might not show it in the way you expect. My way of telling my mom that I love her is showing her things that I love and bring me joy, giving her little gifts of things I made, cooking her favourite things. I struggle a lot with speaking and physical touch so I generally can't offer her hugs, but I do try to tell her in my own way. Please be patient and understanding with your kids. It's hard for us too.

I know your answer is 7 months old but I only came yet across this video and your answer. To be honest, autism is new for me.Here in germany there is an "autism therapy" which helps parents to understand their children and helps the children to live whit autism. The goal of this therapy is to help the family to live whit it and not to chnge the kid or make them "healthy" and thats good. But as you said every kid is different and yes, I have communication issue´s whit my kid but its cause he can´t speak. Like, when hes hungry he doesn´t say "Im hungry" insead it is like a eating-sound he would make. I think its alright, but the speech therapy said I should at least once correct him. Like "Darling, that means 'I´m hungry' and he would speak after me. Dont know if thats wrong but I give my best for him... Sorry its a long text and what I really meant whit it was: Your post was really helpful und hopefully I cane give my son what its best for him =D

I completely feel ya and sometimes I just forgive neurotypicals who don’t understand the true meaning behinds “neurodiversity” and they are actually part of the diversity, that’s what the words is about. Not you vs me or try to fix the other side of the group.

@Dr Yuching Lee I'm glad you are happier but ASD is a literal difference in brain structure. Herbs aren't going to change that. Please do not spread information like this, it's harmful and misleading. Autism is not something that can be "cured" and its not something that should be. We just run on a different operating system. Like windows vs Mac os.

Our son is almost 7 with ASD 3. He doesn't speak. However, he has begun to babble. I believe he will speak normally but nobody else in our family does. He is saying mama and dadda and deedee and many other words. He is goinf to speak. Im so happy. He is extremely intelligent. Sometimes I wonder if this is the problem. He memorizes videos after one viewing. I can repeat a joke he heard yesterday, and immediately he laughs. Not in response to my laughter, because I dont laugh to see if he does. Our children can do this!

Ive never been around anyone that has Autism no one in my family had it, so ive never really understood what it was. I'm 25 witha soon be 2yr old((my first an only child)) I noticed some different behavior in my daughter the last 9months or so.. Well a few months back i came across a video while on social media about a child with autism an thats when i knew that this must be what my daughter has.. I'm trying to work with her as much as I can ive been reading up on it.. But it's hard tho cause its like she doesn't understand me at all an when I call her name she well not respond to me in anyway an she can not keep eye contact an sometimes its hard cause I feel like I did something wrong but my husband keeps telling me "its not anyone's fault especially mine & that she will get better its just gonna take her time an when she's ready to talk she well", cause there are things that she does that shocks the heck out of us cause she'll be so smart about things.... But this video made me feel good to know that if I keep working with her she well soon have a few words in her vocab....... Cause its even harder when your family keeps constantly asking "why cant she talk yet" or "oh i see she still not talking huh" or " how old is she, she should be talking already" like it hurts me cause I'm trying my best to teach her so I just stay strong an believe everything will be okay

I noticed something in my daughter at 1 and everyone in my family kept saying she will speak she’s a late speaker but I didn’t listen when you’re the mother you just know she went right into early intervention which helped her sooooo much to the point she response to her name now and understands everything she’s honestly acting like a kid without Autism and a lot of her “red flags” kinda went away we were just waiting for her to talk......then a Covid happen and I feel like she’s regressing I’m trying not to put that in the atmosphere but I can see it. She’s trying to walk on her tip toes here and there not all the time, when I do learning sessions there isn’t a lot of eye contact when answering questions I have to use ABA skills like give her a fruit snack every time she does what I ask but only when she’s giving eye contact. I remember seeing her teacher use a light up ball that she wanted but she had to say mama and dada. Today I made sure to take her outside to the backyard to play for an hour and we had a lesson in the afternoon I thought it was a good day until nighttime we did our routine and I said goodnight gave her a kiss close the door and I saw her in her bed on camera crying n screaming and hitting her Minnie Mouse like crazy for a good 5 min straight and I’ve noticed 3 times already when she wakes up in the morning she does the same thing like I opened her dorm and she started screaming and hitting me and I just started giving her a sensory massage to calm her down. It’s very heartbreaking because she was progressing so well but I feel there’s a little regression since Covid

My son is 15 Yo. He was diagnosed Autism two year ago. He has difficulty responding to people, and not willing or unable to engage eye contact with the person who is talking tho him. Recently he was asked to leave Burger King when he finished his breakfast there and sate there reading his novels. He simply followed the order and quietly left. Since he didn’t bring his cell phone, and we agreed to pick him up in two hours, as a result he stood in the baking sun for two hours outside Burger King! I seeked out the employee who asked him out. This employee said he went over to my son to say hi to him, my son didn’t talk to him, he went over there again to see if he needed anything, my son was quiet, not said a word to him. I guess this employee then became furious and took thing in his own hand to chase my son out. I just want the society to have more awareness of autism, otherwise they can be easily misunderstood and mistreated. My son also had leukemia at age 4, this kid suffered too much and it is brutal for me to see how he suffered and mistreated.

it saddens me that I'm here, I was in denial for so long when I noticed my son wouldn't really understand me and was being different from the other children for example my niece turned 2, she's climbing stuff on her own drinking out of cups, can sit still and watch a movie even speak a little bit. my son on the other hand can't climb things on his own, he drinks from cups but spills alot, he'll watch a movie but gets excited and starts jumping around and getting in front of the TV screen, he's 4 now and still doesn't speak as much. he hasn't been diagnosed autistic but I believe he has it. he responds well to his name he can look me in my eyes no problem he can do things by himself but has no sense of direction, he lacks a bit of common Sense as to what's trash and what's not when to do things and when not to, what's bad and what's good, and heavy smells don't bother him, he's scared to play with other or doesn't know how to play at all. idk it's tough since no one in my family has ever been diagnosed with autism at all and yet he came out this way, I still love him but it's sad that he can't physically and mentally live a better childhood with other kids

I am not just talking about his speech only… he was verbal In other videos too….. but his way .. also his pitch…. Kind of very normal ( Neuro typical) …. It was very nice to see that….. do you think it’s cos of his age progress or change in medicine???? On bases of that video he looks very typical…. 😊😊😊I meant this in very good way….. My daughter is very similar to Dylan and 10 years old….. bit too loud and too dramatic….. but man…. She asked questions like I never thought….. how does jellyfish change colour???

It really doesn't matter at what age your child starts speaking. It is not a competition. Every autistic child is different, so it does not make sense to compare your child with others. I don't understand why NT parents insist on doing this to autistic children. Your child is not normal, and trying to make them normal is an unrealistic goal that can only lead to grief on all sides. Accept that and learn to live with it, and you will both be much happier for doing so. Even autistic adults - including myself - who are very loquacious at times may struggle with speech at other times. Speech is great because it is convenient for you, but it is not the ultimate be-all and end-all. Ensuring that your child has the tools they need to communicate effectively in a way that is comfortable for them is what is important. If that is PECS, typing, writing, sign language, or speech, the mode doesn't matter. You would not force a deaf child to use speech, so don't get hung up on speech being the primary mode of communication for your child.

Most of the time I carry a string of wooden beads with me (I have a lot of them, of different lengths that I can wear around my wrist or around my neck for convenience). They are inexpensive and relatively unobtrusive. I also love chew toys. Not toys, but my weighted vest and a beanbag that I can wear around the back of my neck are great.

My girlfriend had flash cards all over her house, everything was labeled. Even the sink! 🤗 Her son started out pointing and then she’d make him say “milk please” as he pointed to the milk card. She had categories of food with pockets on the wall of the kitchen. (You could put the card that has the glass of milk on it in there) so, he could dig in and hand her pictures of what he wanted. If something was labeled, he’d learn it. Velcro, magnets..she had it all. There was a reward system too. Like a setup in elementary school. The green, yellow, red system representing behavior for the day. (No kid wants a sad face or red card) It seemed to work well with her. I personally used happy/sad faces with my daughter starting at five, it seemed effective. 😝

My daughter is 10 and cannot conversate at all. She is intelligent in a primally instinctive way. I've tried all this commenting, letting her do her own thing.. all she does is lock herself in a bathroom and howl like an animal. She doesn't process language, only repeats in the same way Koko the gorilla was trained in English. It sucks! Why are so many other peoples' children also autistic? This seems to be increasing worldwide.

One of the - if not the most - recurring triggers coming out of scientific journal articles is brain damage caused by excess propionic acid caused by excess clostridium bacteria in the colon caused by deficient bifidobacteria in the colon, caused by either: antibiotics, air pollution, food pesticides or cesarean needle. Top three remedies are: bifidobacteria supplements to stop the cause, CBD oil to reverse brain damage, zinc supplements for brain plasticity.
@higgsri12 жыл бұрын
(Autistic person here). Your child locking herself in the bathroom and howling "like an animal" (ugh- is it really necessary to compare your child to an animal???), and echolalia, IS communication. If she is doing that it is because she is overwhelmed and frustrated. That frustration is a combination of many factors: it could be sensory; it could be frustration at the pressure from you to get her to communicate the way you want her to; it could be her own frustration at your not understanding her. These stresses all build up. Chances are that she does process language, it's just that she doesn't outwardly show it in a neurotypical way. I know an autistic 17-year-old young woman who is completely non-verbal, but understands three languages. If one learns to try to understand the way she communicates, then communication with her is possible. Have you tried providing her with non-verbal options for communication like PECS or typing? Try to see things from her perspective. Instead of seeing her as an animal, see her as a person who experiences and interprets the world differently to the way you do. Consider the restrictions that she faces in the same way as someone who is paraplegic trying to move around in a world where other people walk, or a deaf person navigating a world of speech and music. Many autistic people have written about echolalia and meltdowns: find out why these things happen from our perspective, and learn to see her intelligence not as "animal" but as human consciousness on a different plane. Yes, it sucks, and it's hard for you. Believe me, it sucks even more for her that you are not making an effort to understand and accept her.
@higgsri12 жыл бұрын
After posting my previous reply I am still distressed by your comparing your child to an animal several times in your post. I want you to know that we do hear and understand what you say, even if we are non-verbal or don't experience the world according to what you believe is normal and "human". Your daughter hears that language and internalises it: how do you think that makes her feel? In 20 years' time, she will remember her parent comparing her to a gorilla. Cringe. Your frustration and anger that your daughter is not normal are perfectly understandable, but please be conscious that the words you are choosing are hurtful and demeaning. I know you don't intend to offend anyone by using that type of language, but it is offensive. Autistic people are people, we have feelings; we are not lesser beings, we are just different. You have a right to freedom of speech and a right to express your anger. You do not have a right to insult vulnerable people, especially those who do not have the language to defend themselves. Doing so makes you abject. Please watch your language, for your daughter's sake.

@higgsri12 жыл бұрын
Alternative communication methods. At 8 she should be able to start writing or typing if her proprioception is good. PECS is also an option, and Spelling To Communicate. Forcing autistic children to speak is counterproductive, and she will only learn to speak if she wants to. She may end up never speaking, and that is also OK, so long has she has some way of communicating that is supported and understood.

@@sowbhagyalokanath1567 I understand that it hurts if your child does not communicate the way you expect him to, but that does not mean he does not love you. There are things that are a lot more important: is he happy? Are his sensory needs being met? Making eye contact is difficult for most autistic people. I still struggle with it in my 40s and have learned how to fake it. You need to understand that eye contact is physically painful for us: it is hard work, especially for a 3 year-old child. You can't expect him to make that effort at that age, especially when he does not even understand that there may be a reason to do so. Would you stick needles in your fingers because the people around you expect you to do it when they talk to each other, because that is just what they do, without understanding the reason why? Making eye contact is the same as that for us. It is only when we are older that we come to understand that it is behaviour that other people expect, and that we have to do it if we want to be accepted in their world. He will not ever not be autistic, so you have to change your expectations. Maybe one day he will call you mama, and maybe he never will. If you accept that, then you can move forward and provide him with the best you can.

How do I help my 3.5 years old son to stop talking to himself all day? ( in nonsense language) and loud
@higgsri12 жыл бұрын
Why would you want to? It sounds like sensory/self-soothing behaviour to me (I sang non-stop, mostly nonsense, at that age until I was about 6). You could try redirecting with other sensory inputs like fidgets or chew toys if it becomes too disruptive for other family members, but there should be compromises. If he needs to babble, then those around him need to accept and respect that need. If babbling is not causing him any distress, then stopping him from doing it is not "helping him", it is forcing him to mask, which is detrimental. When it comes to volume, he probably does not realise that it is loud, so you could perhaps try to persuade him to do it more quietly by explaining the logical reasons why he should.

@@higgsri1 He has dtop 95% because it was a brain chemistry issue. Also, he regressed at 3.5 years old, he talked and met all his milestones until last year. Good news, OAT from Great Plains Lab shows that he has a very high bacteria called HPHPA that causes autism, depression, speech impairment, hyperactivity and schizophrenia. So soon he will be on treatment hopefully it is not too late. Either way, his behaviors will improve and learn better

Nicki Snyder many families have to wait months if not years to meet with a speech therapist so I thought by doing this video it would arm parents with some things they can do at home. All I’m trying to do is to help others with their children. I never videoed dylan when he was younger because I was so busy trying to do all of these things and it was so full on I Didn’t think to pick up a camera and put it my Childs face when he was struggling. But what I can do is give my advise on what worked for us and what helped Dylan speak.
