  • Today Tessie, our autistic 3 year old, was due for our yearly ADOS which is required by our insurance in order for her to keep her autism related therapy benefits like speech and occupational therapy. So off we went and as always she had fun bouncing off the chairs and drinking apple juice and playing bubbles until her diagnosis had been reconfirmed yet again. And today I also talk about what the process of going through the assessment is like for anyone who has an upcoming evaluation who is wondering about it.
    Welcome to Someday I'll Sleep Autism Vlogs! We talk a lot about autism around here because as a family with three kids on the autism spectrum we believe that autism acceptance is extremely important. We also post family vlogs daily, about our lives. You'll get glimpses of what's going on at the moment in our lives, usually in a little town in Michigan, or in the city that Paul works in and where we have about a million therapy sessions each week.
    We are a family of 7, with a Mom named Cammie and a Dad named Paul. Sadie is 11, Maggie is 9, Patrick is 7, James is 5, and Tessie is now 3!

      speech delay isnt what autism is, speech depay can be a standalone condition. Meanwhile some autistics (like me) had no speech delay whatsoever

    Thank you so much for this video. Really helped me understand what to expect. Our pediatrician suggested that we take our child for autism assessment and it's been little worrysome for us because it felt like we failed as parent but knowing that many other kids out there also has it, subtles our worry a bit. And this video helps us know what to expect and just keep our mind bit at ease. Hopefully everything works out well.

      Autism is something people are born with. It has absolutely zero to do with parents. That is an old and incorrect mythology.

    I have been watching so many videos like this , but I don't see the ones that explain my 3 years old situation.
    My soon to be 3 5 years old used to talk until June he started talking to himself in jargon language. Completely in his own world and can communicate by pointing and I forced him to tell me what he wants and now he does sometimes.
    He makes eye contact and he forgot some stuff he used to know like saying his name when you ask him his name

    I really appreciate the experienced insight into the ADOS testing!
    I have a question about Maggie’s performance on the test. You said she completed all the requirements because she’s gone thru the testing so many times, how do the test admins determine that her score is still so high? Is it based on verbal skills? Or are the test administrators people who see her outside of the testing? Just really curious about that 😊 Thank you

    • @Autmazing
      @Autmazing  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I am really not sure how they determine her score, and I know her social worker was wondering the exact same thing. I think it must have something to do with how she does it and how even though it's technically right it's still awkward of like she's acting I guess? Like they say look and so she turns her head and looks at this poster of a polar bear and then turns her head back and looks at you like "okay I did it."
      So I think a huge portion of her score must be based on her communication difficulties and maybe what they refer to as "affect."
      Oh, and I know her scripting whenever they ask about things like eloping (because she does not like being talking about) always bumps it up too.

      Unless you can find reputable studies that definitively prove a link between height and ASD, I would not consider it true science. Anyone can speculate about any topic, but that does not make the speculations true.
