Girl, you don't need to explain yourself to trolls and haters. They're gonna run their mouths regardless. I understand completely wanting to get your children tested, especially as a way to get some sort of heads up for the future. My son is almost 2 (he turns 2 in a week), and only uses a few words. I started to get worried when he wasn't using any words at 22 months, and strongly considered getting him tested. Thankfully, he began showing interest in words and gestures (waving, kissing, hugging, ect) but I completely understand needing that peace of mind in a test result. I'm new here, but I can already see you love your kids. Keep on doing you, girl. Don't listen to people who have no regard for other people's feelings.
Hang in there! I feel so mad at the haters! Obviously they have not been in your situation of having kids with issues. Keep fighting for what your kids need! So happy that Asa and Precilla are helping you to get some services. They are so helpful.
The haters are the ones ruining childrens lives with their nastiness. This mom is amazing. I am a young woman with ASD and I have a "cult" following of other fellow adults here in Upstate NY alone whom have come out to me with stories of the pain these haters have caused to their loved ones resulting in strained relationships that usually end up with kids turning to the streets. Thank you @Julie Botzenhart for your positive feedback because it literally "saves lives".
I've watched 3 of your videos. Only 3. And have yet to get the vibe that you want your children to have autism. I think what you're doing is fantastic! It's informational, but not super medically told. Which I love. Keep up the great work!
There needs to be more mothers like you that do pay attention to their children's needs and not think they'll outgrow it and when they don't you have double jeopardy I really admire you and your children make me smile and I do love the man bun I guess I'm just getting used to seeing it thank you for sharing
Yesss I wish my mom would do that for me. I have high functioning autism that goes very low sometimes. Instead of trying to help me, my mom typically tells me to suck it up and move on. :/ oh well
You are such a wonderful and inspiring mother!! I do not have children of my own but I do work with children with and without disabilities. I totally understand how draining it can be but it is so worth it for how rewarding it is! The way you raise your children by loving them all in the way that each of them require is so incredibly admirable. God has given you such a great heart! Keep up your great work!
Lex’s face when the puppy was giving him kisses was adorable. He has the best hair! Your description of Lex reminds me so much of my oldest. She didn’t start talking until she was three and she has lots of spectrum-y things, but her diagnosis is ADHD and she only needs speech but otherwise is doing really well in school. I’m glad you got the results. I am still so impatient for ours. As always thank you for sharing your lives with us!
The MAIN reason I decided to subscribe to your channel is because I have a 2 year old son. Lex reminds me of my son so much. The hair, the smile and the behavior. I was concerned something was going on with my son just cause there were so many signs of early autism. He doesn't talk AT ALL. Zero words. But can skill communicate by pointing and leading me places. I'm in the process of getting him evaluated. Now, watching your videos brings me so much comfort and joy ! I feel like I can prepare myself now to handle the possibility of my son having autism. Even if he doesn't end up with autism. Your tips and tricks go a long ways ! So thank you for sharing your life with us. It's truly inspiring. xoxo
We Are Rodriguez hey mama my 2 year old is the same! He points and mmms and babbles to show me what he wants but no talking. Honestly reading things like this that show me other kids are also going through this makes me feel like I’m not alone. I feeel like every toddler around us is talking and I find myself just wishing my son would talk :( we are getting him evaluated but he honestly doesn’t have autism signs which make me more confused. Love this channel too!
I'm on the same boat as y'all. My child points and socialize very well overall, but doesn't talk at all. He just babbles and that's it. Please keep me posted. He is almost18 months by the way
Hi Stefanie, my name is Riley and I just subscribed to your channel yesterday. I think your videos are very inspirational and you’re great mother. Your kids are totally adorable and I can’t believe how rude people are in this world these days. For people to say the stuff they said about you is ridiculous. No parent wants to see their child struggle. I am light perception blind and have dealt with that all my life. I actually know several people with autism and they are very sweet people. Yes, they can get rambunctious sometimes but they are still sweethearts. May God bless you all and keep up the great work on your videos.
I have been binge watching your videos girl, we also live in Florida and homeschool and you give me so much hope, my oldest is autistic and she also has ADHD and Tourette's and anxiety disorder so it's been a tough road but your videos really really have been helping me soooooo much!!! Thank you for your videos
I'm new to all this my 20 month old going thru all this testing right now they suspect she has autism not walking or talking now but I'm thankful to find this channel it's helps me understand a lot thanks so much
I'm so sorry that you guys are having such a hard time getting sevices. My 18 month old is being evaluated and the place called today and we have an appointment tomorrow so this makes me thankful for how fast our services are to receive them
Thank you for the video. I am the grandmother of Max, a 2 year old whom we believe has autism. He hasn't been tested yet, but pandemic makes it very difficult. We are in Guatemala, and it is a long and difficult trip. We are going in January. I knew nothing about the genetics testing and my daughter and I have watched many videos about autism, so thank you for this information. I can't imagine how you do it, but as a woman who raised 3 children alone (without autism), my admiration is great. I just subscribed so hope to see more of your videos.
My brother has Autism. He has Asbergers syndrome. It is hard, but he has made me the person I am today. People with Autism can be so smart and intelligent in their own ways. The man who created the light bulb had Autism, so many "famous" people have Autism. Although it can be hard it is far from a tragedy. Stay strong, I will continue to love and support you and your family and channel.
You are such an amazing mom. You do everything for your kids and still have time to keep your channel running. I admire you in so many ways. Praying you and your family stay healthy and safe. ❤️
You are such an amazing mom.My son just turn two and he is autistic.I love your videos ❤️it’s so helpful for mother like me .Who have zero knowledge and have anxiety
We havent had genetics testing yet, but I did have two of my boys evaluated by a behavior therapist for autism. For us, it wound up that they both have SPD and ADHD. It affects my boys in their speech development and coordination. And in a lot of ways it held them back socially and appeared like autism. As you know, it takes more than a few symptoms to be ranked on the spectrum. I suppose my whole point here is that the boys getting therapy is soo good and it doesnt always end in autism! You are an awesome mom. Good job, seriously. Your kids are so loved.
I know my opinion doesn't mean much however. Early intervention is key. So I think you are doing all the perfect steps! Thank you for being present in your child/teens life! the world needs more parents like you!
Thank you for these videos, my 9 year old is autistic and my 20 month old is now being evaluated as well my heart is breaking. Thank you for sharing its very hard.
Hey landing crew not that you need my opinion however those talking crap about you bunk them they are garbage and have nothing better to do. What you are doing is medically what they recommend with neurodevelopment disorders such as autism need to be treated as early as possible. Information is power and you are helping so many with your videos. You are an AMAZING mama and I hope you always remember that!!!!!! Love and blessings to you and your family. 🙏🌈🌸🌺💖
People say ignorant stuff about autism because their defently isn't enough awareness of this disorder, just block the negative people you are doing great thingd by sharing these videos it is bringing morw awareness and understanding to the people who are open minded or going through their own tribulations with Autism. I'm 42 and only recently discovered I may have ASD. Every single person when I try and tell them I have it and looking to get tested. They say you don't have that. And a lot even some of my family say. No you are just hypercondrac. It's because I been diagnosed with so many mental conditions that really never explained anything really just more symptoms. But with ASD. those are the symptoms and it finally makes sense and explains everything..
Thank u for sharing! My Noah who is also 10 has Autism & ADHD. My 2.5 year old toddler is being tested for Autism as he is hand flapping & showing some behaviors that are questionable. It's nice to see you share your family!
For me, the best thing you ever said was “when you know better, you do better”. I was able to let go of some serious guilt after hearing that. THANK YOU & ignore the h8ters (it drives them mad)
I'm sorry about all the mean comments Stephanie! Thank you for the informative video, I appreciate you sharing your family life with us. And happy Mother's Day xo
Your an amazing mom, All good moms do whatever they can to make there children healthy and happy. I only have two kids, when I had my second I needed an Amniocentesis - I did not; or never even thought about chromosomes or learning disability; my kids are 8 years apart, I just assumed they would be the same; sitting in the office of a genetics appointment was terrifying, the things that could happen - people don't understand anything until there faced with it - your doing a great job! All the best to you and your family.
My 3 and a half year old was just diagnosed with Autism today. After 2 years of being told "he's so smart", "he has good eye contact", finally we have the results. He has Autism and just excells in echolalia and mimicing. He is also moderatly functioning. NOW I am getting re-assessed because I have clear clear signs of Autism as an adult. My whole life I have been saying I had autism and was ignored. I had SUCH a hard childhood and young adulthood. I almost didn't make it through. My son saved my life. Litterally. I never ever want him to go through what I did. Living a life where you feel like you do not fit in anywhere. Feeling like no matter what you do, no one understand you or likes you. It's incredibly isolating. This is why I fought SO hard for my son to get tested. Finally we have the answer. Yes, he has Autism, and in turn now they believe ME and I am finally being heard. I say all this because for all those people out there who say just "let him go throught life" or "He's fine", "He'll get by without a diagnosis". YES MAYBE these kids that are "high functioning" can go unnoticed, but inside it is damaging. Inside their brain where some children have no words to express themselves, these children will hurt for their whole life. They will wonder what is wrong with them, when in reality NOTHING IS WRONG. Autism is a lable that gives children resources and the help they need. Not a lable to get attention. Keep fighting for your children Mama. From one Mama who truely gets it, to another.
I’m a new subscriber and I just want to thank you for opening up about this subject. I have a 9 week old, Anthony, and a 2 year old, Aden. We are on the waiting list for Aden’s evaluation. I’ve been noticing signs that the doctors have brushed off but now they have put us on the waiting list for an evaluation. You’re videos have helped me so much since I have only looked toward google for information so seeing someone who’s actually going through this is amazing!
I wish I saw something like this 11 years ago. I struggled to find resources and information. My son also has chromosomal abnormality and he got diagnosed late, at 9 years old. Now waiting for insurance to approve genetic testing for my one and a half year old... She doesn’t have typical red flags, but something is just very different about her behavior. Thank you for making these videos, I am sure they helped lots of parents.
Your son Noah is Moderate. THEY EITHER WANT TO SAY HIGH OR LOW. They never want to say MODERATE. Trust me. Noah is moderate. I've seen the low end of the spectrum. I've seen it. I am high functioning. I am BLESSED to be high functioning. Your son will amaze you everyday and will get smarter and smarter. He will accomplish things in life. Just keep working at it and things will keep improving in time.
Katie Devries definitely. I did my internship at a practice that specializes in ASD and Noah is definitely moderate; he can bathe himself, cook, and is verbal.
Dalai Mami That's exactly it. Noah can tell you when he is hungry, he can tell you when he is hot or cold with words. He can put his clothes on. He can bathe himself, but he doesnt like it. I loved water as a child. that was one odd thing that im a water rat.
Your videos are helping me right now. Because EVERY thing listed in your video. Not speaking. Biting. Grabbing a cup vs pointing. Feels no pain. Picky eater. Grabbing so hard it hurts. Not social with other kids. You will NEVER satisfy EVERYONE. So don't try. Those who matter don't mind. And those who mind don't matter.
I don't know if this brings you any comfort, but I didn't speak until I was 2.5 years old, I would just point at things and yell according to my parents. However, I graduated cum laude with my BS in 2016 and just finished my first year of law school. I know you've had actual testing done and I don't know anything really about Lux's medical history, but I wanted to tell you about my delayed speech and current place in life in hopes it might bring you some comfort on the possible future of your son! Love your videos and your channel! You're a fabulous mom and I'm addicted to binging your videos haha.
I'm getting tested in June (most likely). That is when Abigail finishes her autism evaluation. I had genetic testing during pregnancy with her, because my other two have autism, and it showed I wasn't a carrier for things like Fragile X and some other stuff. I don't think they tested for all these micro-deletions though. Hope you are feeling better now, and the fall doesn't affect your trip!
Yes, I have an adult son in FL named Zebulin. He hated life in Israel and wanted to move back. He lived here with us for three years. We're saving to move to America by the end of the year, God willing.
While I have no experience with chromosomes or Autism, I do with speech delays/disorders. Lex may only have a few words right now, but I definitely think he will be talking your head off before you know it. They (many doctors & therapists) still don't know why my son has had such a hard time with speech. They just don't know, but with therapy he has come so far and is a totally different kid than when we started all this at 2. You are a great and strong Mama. It has heart my heart just to see my son struggle with speech, and yet you are dealing with so much more all with a great attitude. All your children are beautiful and amazing. I hope you are able to get the answers you need/want for yourself and your family because I know as moms we just want to know why.
hey girl i love your channel I just found it a couple days ago, I have 5 kids too!! their 7,5,3,1,and 3 months old! so girl yesssss SUPERMOMS lol seriously being a mother is the most beautiful and wonderful job God has entrusted to us woman! ... and about the hate... hate comments hurt, for sure but we know when haters "point out the flaws in others they take the attention off of their own"(which is all too easy online they fall into the cyber shadows of millions of others...). "They want to bring people down to make themselves higher. It's also about a sense of control." they feed off of the negativity they cause. "It's a coping mechanism, no, not a healthy one. But it makes them not feel as insignificant." and girl do not EVER give them the time of day again! you never have to explain your beautiful family to anyone! because know this anyone who's a mature generally happy person can tell as soon as they start watching your videos your an awesome mom! I know it takes a lot of work to get to where your at with special needs too, my almost 4 year old was born a tiny preemie and struggle on the brink as a newborn and still has issues from it not so much physically any more mainly mental/behavioral issues. But even the littlest of a accomplishment means THE WORLD to us mamas!! also...its not that the haters don't know you or your channel well yet/are new to your videos its because they have issues with THEMSELVES! it's called physiological projecting or something like that, but you get the jigst and I know you already know this. to me it helps to remind myself of this before I feel myself wanting to respond to them giving them, that just gives them the sad satisfaction they want! so never feel the need to explain yours selfish to anyone online(or not) *BIG HUGS* your one of the strongest mom's on here I've ever watched, if not the strongest and smartest! you know how many mother's and or fathers you help with these videos. I hear you on over analyzing I DO TOO a lot of mom's do it shows we care to the ends of the earth! I love it when I think it's Noah says "mommy I have a big question for you!" I LOVE IT and I died when baby Liam burped that was beyond cute and funny! much love, anna
My son didn't really speak until 3 1/2-4 years old. I swore he was autistic and I was so scared for my sons future but his speech therapist recommended him to go to preschool with an iep for speech and he's now 5 years old and is completely up to par with kids his age. It just took him a little longer to be on the same level as kids his age. He still is going to need an iep for kindergarten but I'm just so thankful he is talking now because I spent years blaming myself.
You are wonderful mother! I see how you're dealing with 3 kids and I kind of envy you because I have just one and it seems handful. Don't pay any attention to haters you really are awesome!
@@OurLANDingCrew8 yes, I found out that little later, while watching your other videos. What can I say, you are super mom! I started watching your channel because I'm worried about my almost 8-year old. He does have ok grades, he's good with math and reading, but I spend a lot of time helping him with school work. there are some other signs I notice and red flags pop up. He's withdrawn, doesn't have friends ( even though he wants to have friend more than anything), his teachers tell me he has problems following directions, and concentration. Also, from infancy till today, he has very low mussle tone, he is very behind his peers in regards to physical activities. I signed him up for soccer- he was just standing there, he couldn't even tell me what the score was. I know something is not right with him but I don't know what, and his pediatrician thinks I'm this paranoid mother and there's nothing wrong with him. I'm not sure where I go from here, but I do need to help him because now he's still young and certainly features can still be corrected.
Don't worry what other people say you have help me see things a lil better. I'm still getting used to my son asd dx it's hard so your not alone. Your a great mom and you have beautiful kids. Keep up the great work.
Love watching you. I am working on a degree in special education. I have ADHD (inattentive type) so I understand how having a disability affects a child, but I love picking parents' brains to learn how it affects the family. Also trying to understand as much as possible about autism spectrum disorders because I applied to work at our local autism center at one of the high schools.
Please ignore the haters who have no business diagnosing disorders. I’m not sure why you want to expose yourself to ignorance and stupidity because you have enough on your plate. Take care of your kids’ mom. They need your amazing strength and love.
Seriously why are people so mean? No one wants their kids to have autism. I have a child with autism, it is hard, very hard.. not just for us parents but for the child too. Seriously, only the people who have children with autism know the daily life struggles that are usually taken for granted by people who haven’t dealt with ASD or any other disability. These people who say such mean stuff are completely ignorant. I have only one child, he is three and it is hard already. You are doing so so well, so strong you are. I am your new subscriber because I don’t know anyone here who has a child with ASD with whom I can relate. I get the most annoying comments by people in real life and it is hurtful. It’s very hurtful and lonely.
Hi!! Just subscribed! Found your channel trying to search information for autism on toddlers! I recently quit my job because I have a 2 year old boy who is a lot to handle and I just decided to stay home and get him the help and evaluation he needs!! I don’t have a diagnostic but everyone I talk to tells me he has signs of autism 😢 it’s not easy but hoping your channel would help me understand lots of things. Sending love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
Ignore those haters! They have no clue what they are talking about and are missing out on the good stuff that you as parents do! The haters are not worth your beautiful time, and are just trying to hurt others with words they only dare to say in front of a screen. Amazing! Just loooove how you guys co-operate and do these videoes and all. You guys just seem soooo happy and seems like there is a LOT of love in the family. And you know that is another thing those haters gets jealous of, so just ignore them all, don't let their words bite :) Keep on going you guys! Think there are more people rooting for you people :D Looove and peace!
You are a Wonderful mum and have a beautiful family,take no notice of the haters they are just ignorant human beings,there are so many judgmental people all of us Autism parents always support you 💙
Thank you for making these informative videos and your time it takes to edit and make them knowing your time is more important to give it to your beautiful family thank you God bless family and love your videos 😘
I recently found out my son has autism. He is 21 months old. I had a feeling since he was 11 months old. It is soo hard for me to adjust. I try so hard to understand and with all the therapy in place. I still have thousands of questions. Watching your videos has helped me out to understand a little more of my baby boy.
I just wanted to take a minute to write to you, first of all I am so sorry for that rude person, second, I want to thank you for doing these videos, I subbed you :) third, my 6 yr old was just diagnosed this year with ASD/ID the same thing your son has, I am going to look into genetic testing. I am having issues with schooling, I may home school, it's on the table for the long term. I am still trying to process all of this, I am getting better and accepting this more. Thank you for giving me the inspiration
I think your a wonderful moma an it shows because you paying attention to your children which a lot of moms don’t it’s better to know early to help your child early the early the better you know your child better than anybody don’t stop paying attention to your child cuz of what anyone says
Hey guys! I've been subbed for a couple weeks now but I'm just now getting caught up with my watching all my saved videos. Really loved your video. Very informative and I will definitely be watching more regularly. My nephew has Williams Syndrome which is also caused by gene deletion. Hope all is well with you guys. Much love ❤ PS my name is also Stephanie 😃
These videos help us detect autism in our kids and it helps parents that have kids with autism learn what to expect and what services we can ask for to better help our kids or just help us parents know we r not alone thanks for ur videos these videos can help anyone needing information for signs of autism
You can't make your child have autism so they are crazy. Your doing what any mom would want to know so you are doing nothing wrong. Your are smart by finding out because then your able to help them. Some don't find out for years later and get frustrated with the child not understand why they are acting out. Keep being the great mom you are.❤❤ lots of love
My son was diagnosed at 2 years old. He has no ideal that's he has autism. We recently started his own channel and he uses that as a way to communicate. Have you considered starting a series for Noah? Joshua does unboxing's and DIY's. Sometimes it doesn't always go well but, he still enjoys it. Just a thought. On a side note, thank you for all of the information regarding autism. I know it can't be easy to show the world the good and bad. Been here since your tubal reversal, keep on going on this journey. You're a inspiration
Our 3 year old has autism and we’re getting the genetic testing done soon, curious to see the results especially considering I’m 8 months pregnant with our second son. Thanks for info on this!
Thanks for sharing your life with us you have help alot I have 2 year old twin and last weak was told they both have atisum because they can talk single words but not forming sentence as yet I was so scared on didn't know much about autism I was just handed pamphlet on I froze coming out of the office so I had no ideas what to think so thanks for sharing your life and speaking about your family
I have a chromosomal abnormality and microdeletion. I have never had or shown any signs of autism or struggles (I was bad at math but still managed to go to college). the only reason we even found out is I had extensive genetic testing in my 20s when I got horribly sick. I have a rare genetic health condition as well and when they did the testing, they also found the other abnormalities. I just thought I would comment to let you know not everyone with a microdeletion will have problems :) my health condition isn't due to the abnormalities I'm talking about here, but with my 9th chromosome
Girl, you don't need to explain yourself to trolls and haters. They're gonna run their mouths regardless. I understand completely wanting to get your children tested, especially as a way to get some sort of heads up for the future. My son is almost 2 (he turns 2 in a week), and only uses a few words. I started to get worried when he wasn't using any words at 22 months, and strongly considered getting him tested. Thankfully, he began showing interest in words and gestures (waving, kissing, hugging, ect) but I completely understand needing that peace of mind in a test result.
I'm new here, but I can already see you love your kids. Keep on doing you, girl. Don't listen to people who have no regard for other people's feelings.
Don’t listen to what anyone says, you seem like an amazing mother who’s being proactive and as a teacher. I admire you!
Hang in there! I feel so mad at the haters! Obviously they have not been in your situation of having kids with issues. Keep fighting for what your kids need! So happy that Asa and Precilla are helping you to get some services. They are so helpful.
The haters are the ones ruining childrens lives with their nastiness. This mom is amazing. I am a young woman with ASD and I have a "cult" following of other fellow adults here in Upstate NY alone whom have come out to me with stories of the pain these haters have caused to their loved ones resulting in strained relationships that usually end up with kids turning to the streets. Thank you @Julie Botzenhart for your positive feedback because it literally "saves lives".
I've watched 3 of your videos. Only 3. And have yet to get the vibe that you want your children to have autism. I think what you're doing is fantastic! It's informational, but not super medically told. Which I love. Keep up the great work!
There needs to be more mothers like you that do pay attention to their children's needs and not think they'll outgrow it and when they don't you have double jeopardy I really admire you and your children make me smile and I do love the man bun I guess I'm just getting used to seeing it thank you for sharing
Yesss I wish my mom would do that for me. I have high functioning autism that goes very low sometimes. Instead of trying to help me, my mom typically tells me to suck it up and move on. :/ oh well
I LOVE HIS HAIR IN A MAN BUN ❤️
Lex with his ponytail! Cutest thing ever ❤️
You are a wonderful Mom. Your children are precious!
i swear you wear an invisible cape you inspire encourage and are just an amazing mom hv a great mother’s day
sharon anne henwood so true
You are such a wonderful and inspiring mother!! I do not have children of my own but I do work with children with and without disabilities. I totally understand how draining it can be but it is so worth it for how rewarding it is! The way you raise your children by loving them all in the way that each of them require is so incredibly admirable. God has given you such a great heart! Keep up your great work!
Lex’s face when the puppy was giving him kisses was adorable. He has the best hair!
Your description of Lex reminds me so much of my oldest. She didn’t start talking until she was three and she has lots of spectrum-y things, but her diagnosis is ADHD and she only needs speech but otherwise is doing really well in school.
I’m glad you got the results. I am still so impatient for ours.
As always thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Noah is SO SWEET, talking about how he wants to get you a nice present for Mother’d Day! ❤️
The MAIN reason I decided to subscribe to your channel is because I have a 2 year old son. Lex reminds me of my son so much. The hair, the smile and the behavior. I was concerned something was going on with my son just cause there were so many signs of early autism. He doesn't talk AT ALL. Zero words. But can skill communicate by pointing and leading me places. I'm in the process of getting him evaluated. Now, watching your videos brings me so much comfort and joy ! I feel like I can prepare myself now to handle the possibility of my son having autism. Even if he doesn't end up with autism. Your tips and tricks go a long ways ! So thank you for sharing your life with us. It's truly inspiring. xoxo
We Are Rodriguez hey mama my 2 year old is the same! He points and mmms and babbles to show me what he wants but no talking. Honestly reading things like this that show me other kids are also going through this makes me feel like I’m not alone. I feeel like every toddler around us is talking and I find myself just wishing my son would talk :( we are getting him evaluated but he honestly doesn’t have autism signs which make me more confused. Love this channel too!
I'm on the same boat as y'all. My child points and socialize very well overall, but doesn't talk at all. He just babbles and that's it. Please keep me posted. He is almost18 months by the way
Fernando hugs to you mama! I know how hard it is, just have faith and praying your LO has a burst of words soon!! Xox
Yesss and it bothers me soo much when friends and family comment on the fact other 2 year olds talk but not my boy 😔
Hopefully all ends well for the both of you ! 🤗 Sending prayers your way.
You’re so brave, your children are so lucky to have you as their mother. Godbless you and your family
Hi Stefanie, my name is Riley and I just subscribed to your channel yesterday. I think your videos are very inspirational and you’re great mother. Your kids are totally adorable and I can’t believe how rude people are in this world these days. For people to say the stuff they said about you is ridiculous.

I'm so sorry that you guys are having such a hard time getting sevices. My 18 month old is being evaluated and the place called today and we have an appointment tomorrow so this makes me thankful for how fast our services are to receive them
Thank you for the video. I am the grandmother of Max, a 2 year old whom we believe has autism. He hasn't been tested yet, but pandemic makes it very difficult. We are in Guatemala, and it is a long and difficult trip. We are going in January. I knew nothing about the genetics testing and my daughter and I have watched many videos about autism, so thank you for this information. I can't imagine how you do it, but as a woman who raised 3 children alone (without autism), my admiration is great. I just subscribed so hope to see more of your videos.
Omg Noah's laugh was so sweet when you said his love was enough for you 😍❤ my heart 😭
My brother has Autism. He has Asbergers syndrome. It is hard, but he has made me the person I am today. People with Autism can be so smart and intelligent in their own ways. The man who created the light bulb had Autism, so many "famous" people have Autism. Although it can be hard it is far from a tragedy. Stay strong, I will continue to love and support you and your family and channel.
Your videos help so many I am living proof of that. I cant tell you how much you guys have helped me ecspecially when James was first diagnosed.
You are such an amazing mom. You do everything for your kids and still have time to keep your channel running. I admire you in so many ways. Praying you and your family stay healthy and safe. ❤️
You are such an amazing mom.My son just turn two and he is autistic.I love your videos ❤️it’s so helpful for mother like me .Who have zero knowledge and have anxiety
We havent had genetics testing yet, but I did have two of my boys evaluated by a behavior therapist for autism.
For us, it wound up that they both have SPD and ADHD. It affects my boys in their speech development and coordination. And in a lot of ways it held them back socially and appeared like autism.
As you know, it takes more than a few symptoms to be ranked on the spectrum.
I suppose my whole point here is that the boys getting therapy is soo good and it doesnt always end in autism!
You are an awesome mom. Good job, seriously. Your kids are so loved.
I know my opinion doesn't mean much however. Early intervention is key. So I think you are doing all the perfect steps! Thank you for being present in your child/teens life! the world needs more parents like you!
Thank you for these videos, my 9 year old is autistic and my 20 month old is now being evaluated as well my heart is breaking. Thank you for sharing its very hard.
Hey landing crew not that you need my opinion however those talking crap about you bunk them they are garbage and have nothing better to do. What you are doing is medically what they recommend with neurodevelopment disorders such as autism need to be treated as early as possible. Information is power and you are helping so many with your videos. You are an AMAZING mama and I hope you always remember that!!!!!! Love and blessings to you and your family. 🙏🌈🌸🌺💖
People say ignorant stuff about autism because their defently isn't enough awareness of this disorder, just block the negative people you are doing great thingd by sharing these videos it is bringing morw awareness and understanding to the people who are open minded or going through their own tribulations with Autism. I'm 42 and only recently discovered I may have ASD. Every single person when I try and tell them I have it and looking to get tested. They say you don't have that. And a lot even some of my family say. No you are just hypercondrac. It's because I been diagnosed with so many mental conditions that really never explained anything really just more symptoms. But with ASD. those are the symptoms and it finally makes sense and explains everything..
Thank u for sharing! My Noah who is also 10 has Autism & ADHD. My 2.5 year old toddler is being tested for Autism as he is hand flapping & showing some behaviors that are questionable. It's nice to see you share your family!
For me, the best thing you ever said was “when you know better, you do better”. I was able to let go of some serious guilt after hearing that. THANK YOU & ignore the h8ters (it drives them mad)
Love your channel! I subscribed because I have a 7 year old son with non verbal autism. Prayers and good vibes for you and your family ❤️❤️
i really cannot believe how much Lex looks like his daddy with his hair up!!! 😍 twins!
“Mommy I have a big question for you” 😩😂😂😂 Nuh I love Noah 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What was Noahs big question? Love you’re videos and your beautiful family. Keep up the good work momma!
I'm sorry about all the mean comments Stephanie! Thank you for the informative video, I appreciate you sharing your family life with us. And happy Mother's Day xo
Your an amazing mom, All good moms do whatever they can to make there children healthy and happy. I only have two kids, when I had my second I needed an Amniocentesis - I did not; or never even thought about chromosomes or learning disability; my kids are 8 years apart, I just assumed they would be the same; sitting in the office of a genetics appointment was terrifying, the things that could happen - people don't understand anything until there faced with it - your doing a great job! All the best to you and your family.
My 3 and a half year old was just diagnosed with Autism today. After 2 years of being told "he's so smart", "he has good eye contact", finally we have the results. He has Autism and just excells in echolalia and mimicing. He is also moderatly functioning. NOW I am getting re-assessed because I have clear clear signs of Autism as an adult. My whole life I have been saying I had autism and was ignored. I had SUCH a hard childhood and young adulthood. I almost didn't make it through. My son saved my life. Litterally. I never ever want him to go through what I did. Living a life where you feel like you do not fit in anywhere. Feeling like no matter what you do, no one understand you or likes you. It's incredibly isolating. This is why I fought SO hard for my son to get tested. Finally we have the answer. Yes, he has Autism, and in turn now they believe ME and I am finally being heard. I say all this because for all those people out there who say just "let him go throught life" or "He's fine", "He'll get by without a diagnosis". YES MAYBE these kids that are "high functioning" can go unnoticed, but inside it is damaging. Inside their brain where some children have no words to express themselves, these children will hurt for their whole life. They will wonder what is wrong with them, when in reality NOTHING IS WRONG. Autism is a lable that gives children resources and the help they need. Not a lable to get attention. Keep fighting for your children Mama. From one Mama who truely gets it, to another.
Our LANDing Crew. No problem. Maybe it will help someone some day :)
I’m a new subscriber and I just want to thank you for opening up about this subject. I have a 9 week old, Anthony, and a 2 year old, Aden. We are on the waiting list for Aden’s evaluation. I’ve been noticing signs that the doctors have brushed off but now they have put us on the waiting list for an evaluation. You’re videos have helped me so much since I have only looked toward google for information so seeing someone who’s actually going through this is amazing!
I wish I saw something like this 11 years ago. I struggled to find resources and information. My son also has chromosomal abnormality and he got diagnosed late, at 9 years old. Now waiting for insurance to approve genetic testing for my one and a half year old... She doesn’t have typical red flags, but something is just very different about her behavior. Thank you for making these videos, I am sure they helped lots of parents.
Your son Noah is Moderate. THEY EITHER WANT TO SAY HIGH OR LOW. They never want to say MODERATE. Trust me. Noah is moderate. I've seen the low end of the spectrum. I've seen it. I am high functioning. I am BLESSED to be high functioning. Your son will amaze you everyday and will get smarter and smarter. He will accomplish things in life. Just keep working at it and things will keep improving in time.
Katie Devries definitely. I did my internship at a practice that specializes in ASD and Noah is definitely moderate; he can bathe himself, cook, and is verbal.
Dalai Mami That's exactly it. Noah can tell you when he is hungry, he can tell you when he is hot or cold with words. He can put his clothes on. He can bathe himself, but he doesnt like it. I loved water as a child. that was one odd thing that im a water rat.
Amen
I am. Moderate functioning too, and I’m a female and I’m a Scooby Doo fan and magna tiles
Your videos are helping me right now. Because EVERY thing listed in your video. Not speaking. Biting. Grabbing a cup vs pointing. Feels no pain. Picky eater. Grabbing so hard it hurts. Not social with other kids. You will NEVER satisfy EVERYONE. So don't try. Those who matter don't mind. And those who mind don't matter.
I don't know if this brings you any comfort, but I didn't speak until I was 2.5 years old, I would just point at things and yell according to my parents. However, I graduated cum laude with my BS in 2016 and just finished my first year of law school. I know you've had actual testing done and I don't know anything really about Lux's medical history, but I wanted to tell you about my delayed speech and current place in life in hopes it might bring you some comfort on the possible future of your son!
Love your videos and your channel! You're a fabulous mom and I'm addicted to binging your videos haha.
Impatient cause he’s 2... is there anything more true about a toddler and patience. 🙂😂
I'm getting tested in June (most likely). That is when Abigail finishes her autism evaluation. I had genetic testing during pregnancy with her, because my other two have autism, and it showed I wasn't a carrier for things like Fragile X and some other stuff. I don't think they tested for all these micro-deletions though. Hope you are feeling better now, and the fall doesn't affect your trip!
❤
I have watched some of your videos I didn't relize you had three kids I thought you had two
Yes, I have an adult son in FL named Zebulin. He hated life in Israel and wanted to move back. He lived here with us for three years. We're saving to move to America by the end of the year, God willing.
FoolyLiving ahh okay I hope you are able to move
You’re a great mom Stephanie! Keep doing what you’re doing! 💜
While I have no experience with chromosomes or Autism, I do with speech delays/disorders. Lex may only have a few words right now, but I definitely think he will be talking your head off before you know it. They (many doctors & therapists) still don't know why my son has had such a hard time with speech. They just don't know, but with therapy he has come so far and is a totally different kid than when we started all this at 2. You are a great and strong Mama. It has heart my heart just to see my son struggle with speech, and yet you are dealing with so much more all with a great attitude. All your children are beautiful and amazing. I hope you are able to get the answers you need/want for yourself and your family because I know as moms we just want to know why.
Your kids are beautiful and autism is deff a unique disability.children with it are strong and smart in their own way.
I love your family! You’re gorgeous btw. Stay well! Sending positive vibes to your whole family!
hey girl i love your channel I just found it a couple days ago, I have 5 kids too!! their 7,5,3,1,and 3 months old! so girl yesssss SUPERMOMS lol seriously being a mother is the most beautiful and wonderful job God has entrusted to us woman!
... and about the hate... hate comments hurt, for sure but we know when haters "point out the flaws in others they take the attention off of their own"(which is all too easy online they fall into the cyber shadows of millions of others...). "They want to bring people down to make themselves higher. It's also about a sense of control." they feed off of the negativity they cause. "It's a coping mechanism, no, not a healthy one. But it makes them not feel as insignificant." and girl do not EVER give them the time of day again! you never have to explain your beautiful family to anyone! because know this anyone who's a mature generally happy person can tell as soon as they start watching your videos your an awesome mom! I know it takes a lot of work to get to where your at with special needs too, my almost 4 year old was born a tiny preemie and struggle on the brink as a newborn and still has issues from it not so much physically any more mainly mental/behavioral issues. But even the littlest of a accomplishment means THE WORLD to us mamas!!
also...its not that the haters don't know you or your channel well yet/are new to your videos its because they have issues with THEMSELVES! it's called physiological projecting or something like that, but you get the jigst and I know you already know this. to me it helps to remind myself of this before I feel myself wanting to respond to them giving them, that just gives them the sad satisfaction they want! so never feel the need to explain yours selfish to anyone online(or not) *BIG HUGS*
your one of the strongest mom's on here I've ever watched, if not the strongest and smartest! you know how many mother's and or fathers you help with these videos. I hear you on over analyzing I DO TOO a lot of mom's do it shows we care to the ends of the earth! I love it when I think it's Noah says "mommy I have a big question for you!" I LOVE IT and I died when baby Liam burped that was beyond cute and funny! much love, anna
My son didn't really speak until 3 1/2-4 years old. I swore he was autistic and I was so scared for my sons future but his speech therapist recommended him to go to preschool with an iep for speech and he's now 5 years old and is completely up to par with kids his age. It just took him a little longer to be on the same level as kids his age. He still is going to need an iep for kindergarten but I'm just so thankful he is talking now because I spent years blaming myself.
You are wonderful mother! I see how you're dealing with 3 kids and I kind of envy you because I have just one and it seems handful. Don't pay any attention to haters you really are awesome!
@@OurLANDingCrew8 yes, I found out that little later, while watching your other videos. What can I say, you are super mom!
I started watching your channel because I'm worried about my almost 8-year old. He does have ok grades, he's good with math and reading, but I spend a lot of time helping him with school work. there are some other signs I notice and red flags pop up. He's withdrawn, doesn't have friends ( even though he wants to have friend more than anything), his teachers tell me he has problems following directions, and concentration. Also, from infancy till today, he has very low mussle tone, he is very behind his peers in regards to physical activities. I signed him up for soccer- he was just standing there, he couldn't even tell me what the score was. I know something is not right with him but I don't know what, and his pediatrician thinks I'm this paranoid mother and there's nothing wrong with him.
I'm not sure where I go from here, but I do need to help him because now he's still young and certainly features can still be corrected.
Don't worry what other people say you have help me see things a lil better. I'm still getting used to my son asd dx it's hard so your not alone. Your a great mom and you have beautiful kids. Keep up the great work.
I know exactly how you going through dear, i love your videos as they are very inspiring. Keep it up👍
Love watching you. I am working on a degree in special education. I have ADHD (inattentive type) so I understand how having a disability affects a child, but I love picking parents' brains to learn how it affects the family. Also trying to understand as much as possible about autism spectrum disorders because I applied to work at our local autism center at one of the high schools.
Our 6 year old son has 22q deletion & autism. He is intellectually disabled as well. He is an awesome little guy!
learning a lot on this channel,keeping you and your in my prayer's.
Please ignore the haters who have no business diagnosing disorders. I’m not sure why you want to expose yourself to ignorance and stupidity because you have enough on your plate. Take care of your kids’ mom. They need your amazing strength and love.
Seriously why are people so mean? No one wants their kids to have autism. I have a child with autism, it is hard, very hard.. not just for us parents but for the child too. Seriously, only the people who have children with autism know the daily life struggles that are usually taken for granted by people who haven’t dealt with ASD or any other disability. These people who say such mean stuff are completely ignorant. I have only one child, he is three and it is hard already. You are doing so so well, so strong you are. I am your new subscriber because I don’t know anyone here who has a child with ASD with whom I can relate. I get the most annoying comments by people in real life and it is hurtful. It’s very hurtful and lonely.
Lex with the puppy was so cute.
Hi!! Just subscribed! Found your channel trying to search information for autism on toddlers! I recently quit my job because I have a 2 year old boy who is a lot to handle and I just decided to stay home and get him the help and evaluation he needs!! I don’t have a diagnostic but everyone I talk to tells me he has signs of autism 😢 it’s not easy but hoping your channel would help me understand lots of things. Sending love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
Ignore those haters! They have no clue what they are talking about and are missing out on the good stuff that you as parents do! The haters are not worth your beautiful time, and are just trying to hurt others with words they only dare to say in front of a screen. Amazing! Just loooove how you guys co-operate and do these videoes and all. You guys just seem soooo happy and seems like there is a LOT of love in the family. And you know that is another thing those haters gets jealous of, so just ignore them all, don't let their words bite :)
Keep on going you guys! Think there are more people rooting for you people :D
Looove and peace!
Do you plan/want to get Danielle and Lonnie jr genetically tested?
You are a Wonderful mum and have a beautiful family,take no notice of the haters they are just ignorant human beings,there are so many judgmental people all of us Autism parents always support you 💙
Thank you for making these informative videos and your time it takes to edit and make them knowing your time is more important to give it to your beautiful family thank you God bless family and love your videos 😘
Liam is so sweet and Lex is adorable with his man bun!! And Noah is such an angel too:)
Really good to know. This kind of testing was never suggested to me, I am going to look into this further. Thank you!💗
Thanks for sharing your expirience, it helps new mom struggling with those same problems
as always love you ❣️💖
keep on keeping on 😆
You are so brave!! Thanks for sharing❤️
I recently found out my son has autism. He is 21 months old. I had a feeling since he was 11 months old. It is soo hard for me to adjust. I try so hard to understand and with all the therapy in place. I still have thousands of questions. Watching your videos has helped me out to understand a little more of my baby boy.
Hey where did you get that calendar you’re using for your son?
SUPER OBSESSED WITH LEX
Big thanks for the education you really doing a brilliant job for no price
“Mommy I have a big question for you!” I cracked up!😂
I have an 8 month English Bulldog and they are absolutely the best dogs! I love all animals but they are amazing. 😻❤️
Awe, those pups are so so sweet! :)
I absolutely love your channel. Your family is amazing.
i wish i got diagnosed as early too but in germany there wasnt such a psychiatric knowledge those days.love your channel soo much.
I just wanted to take a minute to write to you, first of all I am so sorry for that rude person, second, I want to thank you for doing these videos, I subbed you :) third, my 6 yr old was just diagnosed this year with ASD/ID the same thing your son has, I am going to look into genetic testing. I am having issues with schooling, I may home school, it's on the table for the long term. I am still trying to process all of this, I am getting better and accepting this more. Thank you for giving me the inspiration
oh my gosh noah, "i want to get you a nice gift". so sweet.
Awwwww I smiled so big when Noah laughed
Early detection is key. Then you can get them the help they need. Being ahead of it is for your children’s benefit.
I think your a wonderful moma an it shows because you paying attention to your children which a lot of moms don’t it’s better to know early to help your child early the early the better you know your child better than anybody don’t stop paying attention to your child cuz of what anyone says
Hey guys! I've been subbed for a couple weeks now but I'm just now getting caught up with my watching all my saved videos. Really loved your video. Very informative and I will definitely be watching more regularly. My nephew has Williams Syndrome which is also caused by gene deletion. Hope all is well with you guys. Much love ❤
PS my name is also Stephanie 😃
These videos help us detect autism in our kids and it helps parents that have kids with autism learn what to expect and what services we can ask for to better help our kids or just help us parents know we r not alone thanks for ur videos these videos can help anyone needing information for signs of autism
You can't make your child have autism so they are crazy. Your doing what any mom would want to know so you are doing nothing wrong. Your are smart by finding out because then your able to help them. Some don't find out for years later and get frustrated with the child not understand why they are acting out. Keep being the great mom you are.❤❤ lots of love
God bless ur family! U r an amazing mother.
his man bun 😭❤️❤️
My son was diagnosed at 2 years old. He has no ideal that's he has autism. We recently started his own channel and he uses that as a way to communicate. Have you considered starting a series for Noah? Joshua does unboxing's and DIY's. Sometimes it doesn't always go well but, he still enjoys it. Just a thought. On a side note, thank you for all of the information regarding autism. I know it can't be easy to show the world the good and bad. Been here since your tubal reversal, keep on going on this journey. You're a inspiration
You may want to try hand signing for toddlers to make a bridge between what he wants and what he can't say.
Our 3 year old has autism and we’re getting the genetic testing done soon, curious to see the results especially considering I’m 8 months pregnant with our second son. Thanks for info on this!
At least you diagnose them early
Hei i am from germany and i love your family so much, god bless you guys💖
Awww noah is so sweet wanting to get u something .. That melted my heart
Love his curls!
Awwww you're family is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your life with us you have help alot I have 2 year old twin and last weak was told they both have atisum because they can talk single words but not forming sentence as yet I was so scared on didn't know much about autism I was just handed pamphlet on I froze coming out of the office so I had no ideas what to think so thanks for sharing your life and speaking about your family
Liam looks just like you!!
I have a chromosomal abnormality and microdeletion. I have never had or shown any signs of autism or struggles (I was bad at math but still managed to go to college). the only reason we even found out is I had extensive genetic testing in my 20s when I got horribly sick. I have a rare genetic health condition as well and when they did the testing, they also found the other abnormalities. I just thought I would comment to let you know not everyone with a microdeletion will have problems :) my health condition isn't due to the abnormalities I'm talking about here, but with my 9th chromosome
