Thank you so much for this point of view. I am julie, from Australia. Sorry for the name of my user. My son has changed and i havent had time to back to its original name😅. Yes, i think its really good to have the diagnosis. In my case, the old peadriatician that used to see my son, did an assesment and just tell us my son has some traits of ADHD. But with his new peadriatician, we are going to ask for a new assestment. I agree with you, we need to know it to help our children better at home, at school, at social enviroment. Etc. Awesome Alisha!!

I dislike how people associate labels as a bad thing. I would love to know if a person is epileptic, diabetic, autistic or vegan ahead of time for their own benefit in parties or social gatherings. People need labels to be able to understand behaviors, symptoms and what to look out for. Yes it means theyll get treated differently but thats not a bad thing, it just means I wont have flashing lights at my Christmas party to prevent a seizure episode, make more vegan dishes so that they arent stuck with just one cold side salad and provide a quiet safe room to help decompress if they get overstimulated from the crowd of people and music at my wedding. Hell if i have breast feeding guests id like to know so that i can provide a feeding room and breast pads so that mom can still have a social life without having to worry about accidental leaking

Studies show a few things: ☆ Those with untreated adhd, have a shorter lifespan. This due to how adhd affects the brain and the body, having in mind that adhd makes the brain work at an incredibly high pace, straining several organs; ☆ Children who are not treated for their adhd within a certain age parameter, the brain's framework is much more likely to get locked within adhd parameters to a permanent state; whereas the children who get appropriately medicated for their adhd, have a bigger chance to have some negative synapses not be permanently wired down that way, bettering some symptoms in the long run; ☆ Those with adhd have much higher chances of getting abused (physically, psychologically and sexually), due to the whole symptomatic and the way the brain works differently. Risks are assessed differently, there is much more innocence, a more shallow examination, self-doubt regarding their own perception due to RSD, diminished impulse control, etc; ☆ the odds are highly enhanced for those who have untreated adhs, regarding traffic accidents, alcohol and substance abuse (as a desperate attempt to self-medicate); ☆ with time going by, due to the overwork and deep overwhelm, as well as the constant psychological damage of having to "perform" like neurotypicals would, while constantly struggling and still failing, always feeling behind, while bending over backwards trying to hide and mask the symptoms and struggles as to avoid further bullying, further embarrassment, or yet again getting rejected - brings the adhd individual to an eventual breakdown, may it be physical, psychological, or both; ☆ adhd stimulant medication isn't addictive to the adhd brain, nor does it alter anything in terms of perception, pleasure, etc. The adhd child/adult who takes it, won't notice any difference, other than a somewhat calmer (not calm), less noisy, less chaotic mind, and a bit more impulse control - recent studies also show no tolerance being built, thus the fear of taking the medication and it suddenly not working, needing to up the dosage more and more and more, is now proven not to be factual; ☆ adhd medication doesn't fix adhd. It doesn't make it all easy. It isn't a cheat, nor an easy way out. Those with adhd, taking medication, will simply have 2 to 4 of their symptoms become a bit milder. They will still struggle, still need to learn how to help themselves, still have their shortcomings. The brain is built differently, it has superpowers and good sides that N.D. brains don't possess to such degree, as well as handicaps and shortcomings, things it is struggling with or unable to do. Dot. Will power, training, yelling, planning, won't fix a thing. It is, however, cruel. As much as it would be to try to force someone deeply sight impaired, to "see" and read perfectly, without giving them glasses (not that the glasses will fix it, but they help distinguish general shapes). So, no worries, even with medication, we still need to help our adhd child, giving them rivers of help, or support, of techniques to work With their handicaps, so they are less harmed. Not against, though. ☆ The damage to the adhd child, caused by struggling so much, constantly failing things that for others are so easy, the shame and the mocking and bullying, it all corrodes the sense of self worth. Their own confidence, gets shot. Not being diagnosed, the person believes it to be their fault, that they just aren't good enough. Whereas, with a diagnosis, there is suddenly an explanation, things make sense, pain is validated, and options start appearing. It is very hard to make do, with what we don't even know is there.. also, as much ignorance as there might be in this world, we can inform others - and more and more people start to know more about adhd. They get a chance to learn more about it, as to effectively be there for our child. ☆ as much as we think that we will help our child in their struggle, in the end, our undiagnosed/untreated child factually will be all alone facing the world. We won't be there. At school, they are alone. Alone while they get mocked, or put down. Alone while they daily hear they are too slow, too moody, too disrespectful, too weird. Alone while they get kicked, or get things stolen. Alone when they get overwhelmed. Alone when they can't stop still. Alone when they space out and miss the instructions from the teacher, and get scolded for it. They get home, and they will most likely not say it all. Because they will feel at fault, in a way. And it was too embarrassing for us to let them have a diagnosis, so they subconsciously sense it is a shameful thing, something to be embarrassed for, that it would hurt us, or make us feel bad. If we try to force neurotypical "tricks", the "just listen better" etc, as it doesn't help and just makes them feel even more worthless and inapt, they have even more reasons to want to hide what happens on a daily basis. They will be dealing with all of it, alone. May we like it, or not.. sadly It is, however, up to us, to give them the tools they need. The understanding of adhd, how it has good sides, superpowers, but also nasty sides, and we are sorry about the nasty ones - but that those, are not their fault. Nor do they make them any less! That there is no shame That we learn to work with it That to build, we need to nourish That in prehistoric times, adhd brains were keeping groups healthier and safer, as adhd cavemen were able to spot the best fruit and food, and to notice predators faster! That nowadays, how the world works, it does bring some annoyances, but together we will find ways to work with ourselves That, we can do And this, is what our kids will remember. Strangers won't remember us. Random people won't remember us. Those who are nasty, they will focus on being nasty to other people. That is all irrelevant! How we are there for our child, isn't - and how we stay up to date with more adhd related studies and finding, will always be something we will be able to build upon, for a better today, and a better tomorrow, for our child! Wishing you guys the very best!! 🌱

When we went into a store I would seek out the radio wall and turn all the bass sound off, as turning them completely off didn't last long. At the long lunch tables I needed equal spacing on both sides of me, I would even rotate to balance my light levels. In fourth grade I may have chosen the room on south side of the hallway because the playground I was familiar with was on that side, but that room was my deaf class, and I was hyperacusis. I tended to keep the sun off me in the playground and dig in the shade. I made mazes in the backyard in the tall grass, I was extremely light sensitive at age 8 when I got my first glasses. Oh, twice with new glasses I had a drop attack, my vertical checking turned off and the first time I shook it off, but my new glasses were stress fractured, the second time was several years ago and I recovered from the concussion. I have optical seizures, not too often. When I was two, I got into left-out paint supplies and was resussitated. All that, and I'm learning ASL two years now, and it has connected my thinking and moving, and I feel lifelong that connection was muted, so it's the most important thing in my life right now.

The sign "Support" is also helpful, but it would prolly make me cry even more deeeeply~

PHIMEYTEUN / EXERCISE BALL

Whilst interesting. I am keen to avoid such an active parent assisted activity, (as our kids have the capacity to self play.)

A little tickling on his ribs and armpits are part of the procedure!

Thank you! This is very helpful!

JAMES IS GETTING THE SILLIES AND THE GIGGLES

I LOVE THE PART OF THE VIDEO WHERE JAMES GETS THE SILLIES

JAMES IS GETTING THE SILLIES AND GIGGLES

This video , is so enlightening. Thanks so much for that! My 5yo son gives me such a hard time everyday and all you said make so much sense. I am only starting to understand sensory issues. He's an extreme picky eater, runs , jumps, not always sits still during meal times. he has never ending energy to jump, climb. It's always hard to get to do the transition from dinner to bedtime for example. He press his onw ears really hard at times and got this habit of wanting to lick my face or any other surface he finds interesting or chews on the laces of his jumper He gags to smell, sight and texture of food. I'll definetely get him check by specialists

Thank you for these wonderful ideas !! My son is the pickiest eater on earth 🤦🏻‍♀️

I just did this to my 3 1/2yo and she's asked me to do it to her about 2 more times now and in the sweetest, almost sleepiest, voice she said, "Thank you, Mommy. I really liked that." 😭💖💖💖💖 So thank YOU, Mama!!!

I wish more people would talk about this!! 😫 I'm an adult picky eater and I'm telling you, it's Life-Ruining. Especially dating my boyfriend, who's Vietnamese.. he's first generation and there's no language in Vietnamese to convey this problem.. they only understand a broader food "allergy" as a concept. It's incredibly taboo to decline food simply because you don't want to eat it. So you hide and avoid social situations and miss out on things just to avoid any potential judgement. And the constant worry about developing health problems that stem from longterm lack of nutrition is terrifying.

Hello ma'am I always watch your videos...... My child diagnosed with ASD.... I wanted to know that retained primitive reflexes are the only reason for sensory integration dysfunction.... My child is 4 years old.

Hi.. i can not access to your webbinar. What must i do?

Just came to your channel and your ideas and content is awesome ....

My son grinds his teeth much please suggest any tips how to reduce it ..

First that color behind you is awesome I’d love to know what it is😂 Second thank you! My son is 3.5 and the sweetest autistic kid and he is struggling with sensory stuff and I am a single mom so having this info at hand is amazing.

I'm still learning about my daughters mental issues but so far what I was told by her occupation Therapist is she has three areas that are sensory issues for they are seeking/seeker, avoiding/avoiders, sensitivity/sensor, touch, movement, conduct. And I need help trying to figure out how to teach her how to cope with those areas, as well as help her not to have a meltdown when I tell her no when she cant have something atm please help...

LOVED this video. Currently at a school district for my level 2 field work as a COTA and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!

Hi, thank you for sharing, I have a 18mo and we just got great ideas, I went to the website to print the printout but the page is not working, please advise <3

Thank you

My daughter is 2 1/2 is obsessed with touching my moles through out the day and also touching her cuticles often

Thank you so much for this video! My 11 month old had his feeding evaluation yesterday and is has some delays in his oral motor skills, so this was very helpful. Do you have any videos or suggestions for how to help encourage lateral tongue movement in play time? That is his biggest hurdle right now and I'm stuck in a waiting period before we can get started with his therapist. I'd love to get started at home now if possible.

Thank you for this video! I have a two year old son who was misdiagnosed with Autism, but I believe that he has SPD. He is a sensory seek for sure. Some of these ideas we are doing, but I will apply the others. Thanks again.

Can a sensory disorder cause a speech delay?

Thanks for sharing this info.so helpful

Hi, my son seems to have issues with the sight and smell of foods he doenst like, Especially bananas. He won't look at them and covers them. And makes me move them because he doenst like their smell. He refuses to eat all fruits and veggies and gags and throws up when we try new foods. He learned to eat apples and pears in feeding therapy. But he's still not a big fan of them, thou he will tolerate them. What can I do to help with his visual and smell sensory issues? Thank you so much

Is tip toe a sign of sensory issue? He is 3 yrs old and rarely flaps his hand too. Flapping started 2 months back but tip toe since he's 18 months.

Very enlightening. I loved it a lot; may god bless you (a new OT TRAINEE)
