Just wanted to throw out a product suggestion that I use on my hair. Its called African Pride Detangle and Condition Pre-Shampoo. When used on damp-wet hair it has really amazing slip that allows your brush of choice to glide through the hair easily. Happy Detangling lol 😊

Ur a great mama and Ur doing great

Your both so beautiful. Your the best mom for that special precious little girl. God knows who and when. 😊

Question: that black hairbrush, is it 3 separate pieces in one handle?! 😮 can you show it better. ( I HATE brushing my hair, its painpul and a nightmare, and I can never find a good brush 😢)

She is absolutely adorable

i been thinking ab the video of her in the yellow dress when she didn’t like her hairstyle like every day 💀💀💀 SHE DIDNT SAY A WORD BUT the message WAS received.

Absolutely. Many people confuse non-verbal with non-communicative. And often, silence speaks louder than words.

How weird you burst into tears hearing someone else's child talk .. maybe speak with a therapist because that's weird

​@@nickiedoyle1731is it weird to feel empathy? its a sign of a lot of progress it makes sense that it would make people emotional 🤷‍♂️ human brain does that sometimes

@nickiedoyle1731 You do know where you can go, or do you need me to draw you a map?! Trolls are on their job. Hell, yall don't even take off for holidays! Mikko has come a long way, and she doesn't have to be my child for me to be proud of her! If you feel that you have to know a person to care about accomplishments, then you need the help.

I think its more cause Tiktok has become all about Tiktok store so people lie or hype thibgs up to sell

I’m autistic and used to HATE anyone brushing my curly hair, I wouldn’t let it happen. Tangle teasers have been a game changer for me.

What does this have to do with anything?@@Fenrires

yes

​@@treubakingthe comment is literally the exact topic of the video...

I don't know your age. I'm 71 and that's the way my parents did us. It got to the point where I didn't speak until I was spoken to. I can't imagine your hurt and pain when growing up. I'm so sorry!!

Frr, my mom told me I cried everyday when she did my hair, and I didn’t even have 4c or 3c hair (that would’ve been a hell for me tbh🥲🥲), my curls where a little bigger and my hair was long, but it still was very hard to brush trough it without me crying. My mom tried everything, and ended up cutting my hair a bit shorter. I liked it and it was cute so she didn’t force me to get my hair cut, but when she was done I never saw my curls again😢 I’m still sad till this day but oh well🥲 (maybe if someone got tips to get the old curl pattern back, I would appreciate that a lot, bc that’ll literally change my life😂🩷I miss my curls🙁)

I know what you mean my daughter would scream anytime she saw a comb. It was so hard when she would holler and cry that I would work her hair on sections and give her a break when she got upset. But with time and patience and trying different products it did get a lot better.

Not to sound any type of way but why do you thank the mother for the way she takes care of her child….? This is a newer thing people do and I find it really strange… like this ain’t your child… I understand where your coming from and I have ASD as well as my son but it’s bizarre since you don’t even know either of them

@@Iamyl4because it’s also common for people to neglect and mistreat their children and not consider their needs

​@@Iamyl4it's hard to explain but when you've had a hard childhood it just feels wonderful and refreshing seeing people live out the opposite and there's a feeling of gratitude for them sharing it

​@@Iamyl4 it's because they appreciate the love and care this mother is putting into her autistic child and they are letting her know they appreciate it. It makes people happy to see a child or a pet or just any dependent living creature being well cared for by their caregivers.

​@@Iamyl4I get that but atleast they aren't chastising the fact or other things etc idk

What is it called?

​@@user-vb6ky1mo9ethere's no special name from what I've seen but it's a detangler brush

​@@user-vb6ky1mo9eI also use the black brush. I think I got it from Walmart but I can't remember for sure cause I've had it for years

​@@user-vb6ky1mo9emine says kareco on the handle if that helps.

@@user-vb6ky1mo9etangle buster

Just to be clear, not all autistic people are mentally disabled

@@Maria-up2yv … it’s a disability… by ‘mentally disabled’ I’m not calling autistic people stupid, but autism is classified as a mental disability. Some autistic people (and I am one) may be low support needs but it still inhibits one’s ability to function. Some autistic people may not like the term disabled (I don’t know of any but they might be out there) due to stigma, discrimination, etc, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is disabling. I have bad shutdowns that prevent me from talking, doing things, processing information etc. and this is coming from someone with low support needs. I’m completely open to hearing your reasons just to be clear. I’d just like to ask (since this is the internet) that you be generally respectful of me. I don’t mean to come off as rude or anything with this, I’m just kinda confused.

@robinthepunk autism is not just in the brain, Studies have shown that the whole body is a part of the condition. The definition of autism is changing all the time because nobody knows what it is. I'm not saying you came off as rude at all, but where I'm from it is not classified as a mental disability. But a neurological disorder. And even that will change. My nature doesn't inhibit the way I naturally function. Society does and the fact its designed by and for neurotypicals. The same way being left handed isn't inherently an impairment either despite a long time of people claiming that it was. Actually just looking now, since my diagnosis the title has actually changed from ASD to mean disorder, to ASC to mean condition. I have shutdowns and meltdowns too. But I know for a fact if I were able to live freely as I'm meant to according to my nature, I wouldn't probably feel that way nearly as much.

girl damn neazr every parent treats there kids like this.. why are you acting likes she special

That may help. ❤

My thoughts exactly... (But not my business)... Just a thought❤

Wonder would the plaits or twist interfere with her stimming? ...

I was thinking the same thing, maybe plaiting or twisting the ends of her ponytails at night. 💕

I have thick natural hair and I always do 10 moist or dry twists with oil at night. I wear a silk bonnet and only brush and comb on wash day. The twist out is amazing when nothroomef every day. My preference though because I'm tender headed like this beautiful baby. All of the brushing and pulling could be making her scalp sore.

Hi, loved your comment. Just wanted to share my own two cents. My sister, mother, and brother are on the spectrum. Growing up with them has taught me that the only difference between someone with autism and someone who isn't is the way they communicate, just like someone with ADHD, or impaired hearing/seeing/movement! I hate hearing about people who think those with autism are 'throwing a fit', 'overreacting', ect.. Because that isn't true. The SOLE difference is the way they communicate. They aren't 'having a meltdown'. They're experiencing sensory overload, and their reaction is THEIR way to communicate it. Just because my family's communication methods may be different, it doesn't make them less of a person with feelings, frustrations and self-esteem. By belittling someone for a part of themselves that they can't control would be like making fun of someone's accent. My brother is in a class for kids with disabilities, and many of them are nonverbal. In no way does this make it more difficult to communicate. Neurotypical people tend to forget that more than half of our communication relies on BODY LANGUAGE. My brother's favourite stim is twirling a strand of hair. He always insisted on keeping his hair long so he can do it. He also takes the chance to twirl my hair, or the dogs hair at any occasion!

I think Miko stims by holding part of her hair?

@@honeysickle that’s amazing (not that they’re suffering from a mental disability but great that they have you) Me and my little sister both have autism, when she’s upset she completely freaks out and gets loud and stomps a lot while I shut down and go silent and have to go to a silent area or I will cry. Autism is a huge spectrum and while it’s rough being on that spectrum (communication issues, ableist saying it doesn’t exist, sensory overloads, etc) I love being on the spectrum because it’s brought me friends. You know the saying ‘opposites attract’? Not when you’re neurodivergent. For some reason we all kinda find each other.

@@debj5114 huh, I dunno, I do know that hair is a big part of stimming, whether it’s a nice movement (twirling hair) or a self-injurious stim suck as pulling out hair which can turn into trichtillomania if it keeps up. So it could be I dunno yet I just recently started watching this channel

@@RavensFur absolutely! neurodivergent people just get each other. I hope you and your sister have a wonderful day. and happy holidays!

Uhh who's to say she don't already do this

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@treubakinguhh they were just trying to help by saying what works for them

​@@treubakingthe weren't saying she didn't. They're sharing a tip kindly

Wait hair trauma?? Can you explain what you mean? I think i might have that too..

.....You're in denial. That is abuse. Don't make excuses for your abusers. I wish you all the best in life. You were just a kid. No one deserves to be physically and emotionally abused like that.

That is 100% abuse. I hate to to say that. But they intentionally caused you pain. They preyed on your weakness. Abuse can take many forms. I hope you're able to find some healing from your emotional scars. 💖

that’s still abuse as awful as it sounds, they found something they could exploit of you and used it in a negative way with the intent to knowingly cause harm. i’m really sorry that happened to you but i’m happy that you’re ok now

That sounds an awful lot like abuse. They intentionally hurt you in a way they *knew* would hurt. Also to punish a child for crying is kinda fucked up. Sorry to drop the ball on you there

I agree with the rest, that IS abuse...😢😢 It's so f#cked, up and I'm so sorry that happened to you

I'm glad you got a diagnosis!! 🎉

I just got diagnosed with autism this year and no matter how old I get, I’m still going to have sensitive scalps. My mom still doesn’t have the patience for me when doing my hair, but I’m so glad I got the diagnosis.

​@alita8900 I hate getting my hair done too and my scalp hurts if anyone breathes on it too hard. I used to give my mom so much trouble to get my hair done as a kid, even now as an adult putting my hair in ANY style hurts. I have so much hair in my head missing from when i cut it out due to my lack of patience . I'm wondering if i should get tested

My scalp is also extremely sensitive. Like soooo sensitive I have to use the conditioner for babies (to be specific Johnson's baby conditioner). I'm not kidding, and I have eczema which makes it worse.

Does that brush have a name? i really want it ahah

I need that brush. Please give me a name.

I'd also like the name please

​​@@purplemuffin117 I have the brush too. Tangle Buster. I got mine for like, $10-13 at Walmart over a year ago. My daughter and I both have curly hair (3A and B on both at most defined strands), but my daughter is also neurodivergent (Unsure if it's autism or not yet as she is still being tested) and has a sensitive scalp. This brush really allows for less tears. I've tried combs, paddle brushes, bristle brushes and even other curly detangling brushes and nothing compares. We use it in the shower with conditioner and sometimes it feels like it's making the tangles and knots melt away as it glides through.

I'd like to know the name as well

Agreed, Wet Brush has been fantastic for my hair. I'm white, though, and have very fine, straight hair, so I have no idea how well it would work for Mikko's hair.

They have a curly wet brush which is a combination of both brushes and my hair loves it

@@koyaharvey-walker3794 Oh cool I didn’t know that!

This. I bought one for a friend with 4c hair and the moment I went through her hair with it I was in love. I bought one for my curly hair immediately. I've been using several kinds of WetBrush for mine and my kids hair for years before that because we're all on the spectrum and it made getting ready a breeze.

Not sure if it works for natural black girl hair because im white and have wavy hair rather than curly, but I have a sensitive scalp and love mine, so I absolutely agree with this suggestion if it works for her hair type and doesn't make it frizzy like mama said the unbrush did❤

You got this sweetie! ❤

What is that brush called?

@@kcat44hey! I couldn’t find anyone on here saying what the black brush is BUT I saw one on the internet called ‘KareCo tangle buster brush’. Not sure if it’s the exact same one, but it looks pretty darn close

Was gonna say the same thing

Right?

I love that product my stylist put that on my hair as well makes my hair really really curly

Yes I agree!!!

That's what I was trying to say when I said Cut It off

What brush is this, if you don't mind my asking? (Not the unbrush, the one you use!)

@@ShenaniganGrey I blv the black brush is the KARECO Tangle Buster Brush, Detangler for All Hair Types in Black Color.. I found it on Amazon
