My 2 yr old son. Understand when I say NO or close that. He knows his name. Looking at you when you talk. But he doesn't know how to point. He still babbled a lot and says very few words. When he is mad he said a lot but we can't understand him 😂

My grandson is 2. While not yet diagnosed, I offer a suggestion. I don’t ask him questions. I tell him short commands. Get the balllll! Etc. I dig in and put the blocks together for him. I take his hand and demonstrate the correct motion. True, he doesn’t usually make eye contact or respond to his name. He lines things up a lot. He babbles a little but does not speak. In retrospect, at times I feel invisible while spending hours with him. Either way, I love him and he is a beautiful, sweet little guy. Just like yours. Good luck!!!

I remember my dad telling me when I was this age, I lined up my toys. I put them biggest to smallest. They were also arranged with color. I had all of them arranged also by species of stuffed animal. The dinos on one end and the puppies on the other. I would also kick the play mats, trying to get them straight. I would cry if someone told me no and would ask why, saying that's all I ever heard. I had trouble making friends in the mommy and me groups. It only got worse as I got older. I was fast at learning how to speak but never properly socialized and still struggle with properly communicating, despite my large vocabulary from an early age. Sometimes people think I'm selfish because I seem to be focused on a certain thing and not be paying attention or showing empathy towards then but that isn't true! I have been told I lack compassion but I care a lot. I mostly care for close relatives and close friends. I also have a passion for social work. I want to be a social worker. It takes a lot of compassion that not many people realize I have because they don't understand. I've often been told I was using my autism as an excuse but I wasn't. I just feel like when people don't understand how bad it is even when I am higher functioning, that I need to explain how bad it can actually affect me socially. I feel like I need to explain it to people who are ignorant. My dad often calls me a bad child and it makes me sad. I understand what that means, it hurts my feelings. I feel like I don't belong. I'm in special ed and I stay in one classroom all day. I don't get to socialize to improve my aspergers. I'm extremely lonely and all I've ever wanted since childhood was a friend. I've never had a sleepover or a playdate.

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.

@@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.

Jewel K we noticed signs very young- he didn’t respond or react like a typical newborn, didn’t reach for toys, didn’t look when we called his name, laughing seemed painful. At 12 months we put in tubes to see if it was a hearing issue, by 15 months we had started evaluations for therapy and at 18 months he had a preliminary ASD diagnosis- it was official at age 2.

If you are even questioning the possibility that your child may be on the spectrum it's always best to get him/her evaluated as early as possible.

they do very much understand "NO" but when they hear it, it becomes the Trigger word for the start of all kinds of unwanted behaviour especially in special needs children - they know it means they must stop what they're doing, end the game and their activity. Specialists in the field develop all kinds of other words/strategies to avoid using "NO" as these children will often hear it many more times than they hear "YES" and positive praise, particularly at home.
