- Lonnie and I got our parent genetic test results for autism back to see who is the carrier. It definitely was NOT what I was expecting but I am glad we know. Knowledge is power.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself too hun! I know it’s hard and your kids take priority...I do the same thing. But your important too! Your an amazing Mama!
The Killen Clan I watch y’all channel I love y’all! You have a cute family!
I just love how open and vulnerable you are with your family and your PERSONAL business. How awesome that you can help teach or lead someone in the right direction for their own family. I personally love genetics, think they are just the most interesting and even loved studying it in school. This kind of stuff fascinates me so much and I'm very thankful you have chosen to share this part your family for the viewers. It's raw, its real life and its authentic.
Knowledge is power. Its always better to have more information about yourself. It’s brave and vital that you did all of this testing. Not to mention historic that it’s being documented. You handle all of this beautifully and I love learning from your videos. Most importantly you lead with science and then share new information as it comes available/changes.
I love how much you advocate for special needs. I used to be much less educated and ever since I watch your channel I have even able to help a few parents with special need children. You have inspired me so much💜 just know everything you’re going through and putting out on the internet is making such a big difference in this world. And I will continue to watch you and tell other about you💜
You are a very articulate lady. Impressive ability to communicate genetic results.
Yes, please, if you go through the process for diagnosis vlog it. I’m going through the process right now myself and it wood be great to see others and what happens compared to where I live!
I really appreciate you sharing all this genetics stuff. It’s fascinating to me and something I’ve never really seen anyone talk about regarding autism before.
You are so proactive. I’m going to look into getting a genetics test done before I have more kids because of you. Thanks I didn’t even know this was an option
Genetics is really fascinating, thank you for your informative update!!
I really really really want to hear how you felt different as a child and what you noticed that was different. That would be fascinating
And thank you so so much for explaining the genetic pieces, for years I have heard people mention genetics but would never say anything beyond that, even when I asked. You make it make sense where I think I can approach the pediatrician with this request now. I want to know more specifics to be able to pinpoint my childrens assistance better & with a better understanding of the why
Same here. Especially as at a few weeks shy of 33 i was diagnosed as autistic myself and I am a mum of two autistic girls.
I have a hard time commenting but I would like to say that I would be incredibly grateful for a video concerning your journey with being evaluated for autism as an adult. I won't go into details about myself but I think that hearing the perspective of an adult going through the process -as an adult- would be incredibly valuable to me as well as others. Thank you for your videos.
I think you are courageous for sharing all this
Autism, ADHD, sensory issues or not, you're kids are all great! Knowledge is power, and it's great for them to have this information going forward (just like it is for you to have this information now). The most important thing is that they're healthy, happy, and taken care of, and you're doing a great job with that!
Im in the same camp as tou where I am diagnosed with ADHD but believe I am autistic after my daughter being diagnosed. Girls and women just fly under the radar. But I guess maybe that's why I idenitfy with you so much!
You may not have had all of your beautiful sweet children if that first geneticist tested you! You are one strong mama ❤️
Stephanie, thank you for being so open with your journey. Many of us didn't know about genetic testing including me and raising awareness on the subject. This will definitely open more doors for many of us to now try genetic testing but also will help the community to educate and learn more about autism.
the main reason I'm watching this (and a bunch of your other videos) is I recently came to suspect that I may have level 1 autism or ADHD, so for months I've been watching a pile of vids on the subject. I'll really appreciate any videos you do on the subject of your experiences and autism assessment. I'm 18, starting college this fall, and hoping to get some sort of assessment from university psychiatry services as I know they do ADHD assessment and it's not very expensive.
You are still an awesome human being with 6 awesome kids.
I'm a regular in the live streams but I just lurk and I've heard you discuss your personal ASD traits. If you ever watched one of Tony Attwood's seminars on ASD in girls or read one of his articles you would feel like it was a story of your life.
Yes
Yeah and I think if she watched and found out she did have ASD, she would see that autism isn’t some tragic disease, it’s actually just having a brain that’s wired a little differently, and most people we consider creative or scientific geniuses have the exact same wiring. Autistic people can have full amazing lives
Happy Cali Mama I think she’s made it clear she understands that. Parts of it definitely make things harder though.
You are the perfect family to understand this , so good for you guys and you are going to help lots of families
I am happy you all have your answers! Thank you for sharing, it makes others feel not so alone. I have passed a syndrome down to my son on the X chromosome. It’s such a weird feeling. You are so happy to have answers, but then all these other emotions come up. They are currently performing the WES on us, which I am clueless about.
U r a awesome mom....no matter what..your ,kids r lucky
I wasn't aware autism was genetic until now. Great video. So informative. I have Adult ADHD, DCD, Auditory Processing Disorder, a mild learning disability, Avoidant Personality Disorder and a rare genetic disease. (Tyrosinemia Type 2)
I love your channel. I just discovered it you have so much information. My son has Autism he was diagnosed 3 years ago when he was 3 years old there is not as many things available here in my county in Southern California as you have there but we do get Aba which is on hold right now because of the virus we do it telehealth once a week. but I have really enjoyed your vlog today and I learned about the different Levels of autism in your other video. I had never heard about them. God bless you and your family
I think if you were given a diagnosis it would be really nice if you talk about how and what different was when you were a child...I think lots of kids grow and think why I’m different
A great video. So excited for u about the foundation Stephanie! Do check your heart, it is important. Would be interested in hearing your experiences as a child. A family member if mine got an autism diagnosis as an adult and was delighted they did. Hope the trip went well
Thank you for sharing this. I think you bring normalcy to autism and genetic differences people might be experiencing.
i love your channel! My kids are not autistic but i enjoy learning from you 🧡
all my five children have autism and each of them are special in there own way to be honest with you it’s a blessing but it takes a lot hard work so please be strong.its like being trapped but in your own body,once the vail breaks their personality will shine through and then you see that actually geniuses I have spent the past almost 8 years home schooling my children.autistic children Are like rough diamonds 💎 with a amazing shine.
You give me power and strength I wish i can be as brave and strong as you are
My son got the diagnosis 2 months I suspected it I took him to get the testing back in February but didnt go to get the report not until June because I didn't feel strong enough to hear it ( it made me feel a bad mom😔) but I'm still struggling inside my head is spinning because I'm constantly thinking and worrying about his future
When I see your videos I feel much better 😊
My son is so much like Lexx
We definitely need the genetic testing because my husband side of the family definitely have members show lots of autistic signs
Thank you
Hey how's your son doing? And you of course, things and life is hard sometimes but you are doing a great job, at least you know now and you all can do what's best for him
Happy Birthday Stephanie. I hope you have a great birthday.
I feel for you guys alot information and knowledge is power but can't be stressful and emotional too.
I love your channel and your guys positivity and realism and just acocating for your kids yourselves on Austin rights and for so many other ppl even ones you don't even know.
That makes you guys so cool and awesome. And your raising cool awesome ppls too.
I am older than you my birthday is now in 4 days on thrusday the 30th and it's Sunday the 26th.
But you and so many others give me hope that ppl who have ADHD or Atuism or both or anything can be brave postive and have good postive happy lives and be successful in ways that matter most.
I feel like you and others alot like I've always been differnt than other ppl my whole life since I was a kid and feeling werid or strange etc in bad negative ways because ppl even when I was a kid treated me negatively for things I couldn't help. Like I didn't ask to be born with what I have and stuff.
I have a referral to a neurologist now and still on to a Neuro psychologist. To be screened for Atusim and to get correct mental health diagnoses to just con firm my depression aniexty and ptsd. And reveals to differnt places to find out what's causing alot of my physical chronic health stuff too once and for all. Andi think I should have that genie array test. Esp since iam working with my Dr to be screen by a spieaclist for Elos Danlos syndrome. Maybe that's were the Neuro logist comes in. Also getting more stranger headaches more often and was in the er recently and they ran lots of tests and a chest x-ray and a head and a separate adbomenal ct and nothing major is wrong or detected be live me they would have told me. And most of the test came back showing nothing which is very good very tension relieving postive news. It did showed I have a very common embarssing thing a UTI. Sigh. But they also tested my thyroid so I should get that back soon.
I mention Ellos Danlos because I have hyper mobile joints and it's a disease that affects the colangen in the human body. And it has like 9 differnt types and sub calories probably more. It's a very complicated thing like Atusim and ADHD and other stuff.
And what my many extra things I have that seem separate and not connected are. And I wonder what chromeasomes it affects too and where and etc.
Even more complicated stuff.
Yeah it's exhausting and alot for some many other ppl to hear and deal with and me. So imanion how I and others feeling dealing with it. Like we all didn't ask to be so extra etc with health stuff and I feel educated and tired with it and of it. Be live me.
And iam not excuse ing myself or feeling sorry for my self. I just want clear answers so I can know where to go forward and have a plan of action and to get and do better and just maintain and not lose any more than I have.
I know I sound so obsessive and very unhealthy. But I try really hard not to focus on my stuff or and issues and work hard to do other stuff and I care more about others than my self and even iam sick of this negative frame of mine.
But it's hard not to be when stuff causes my problems and I have ppl in my life just punish me and treat me with hate because iam so differnt esp my own family. I don't have love and support from them and really did not ever had. And that's sad. And on them but I still have family and real good true friends and ppl who are my family now.
So yeah it's a mixed blessing. But iam ok going to be ok and things are most good and iam good . And I just couscous on the positives more and more and just take things as they come and keep moving forward.
But iam so glad there are family's who are awesome and value there family members and who are good postive ppl in every sense of the word and have channels and advocate on rights for everyone esp children who have spieal needs disabilities and differences.
You guys give your children strength and love and the will suceed and shine for it they all ready are.
God I don't want to bug ppl out and I don't usually open up about my self so much.
But my mama wad a very good person and a good judge of character and a fierce mama bear and really fought and advocate for me and my older sister so we could have the best lives possible and alwanted the best because she loved us unconindialy and fully accepted us that way too.
Like me and tons of human beings she was flawed. And things were never perfect but they were real and positive and good and when I became and adult we grew even closer and became friends.
She's been gone 51/2 yrs now. And I esp miss her around important dates holidays and birthdays.
Yeah iam a little sad wistful and still grieving.
But iam ok and and I know iam a good person though flawed and a kind care human being all things good and postive because of her and other good postive ppl personally in my life. And that's very very important. Some ppl don't have any of that at all. And there should just be more of it and Gueine real and good and postive kindness and aceptness more. And more ppl doing that and etc.
Yeah I do have problems and challenges to overcome always that's life. But it's how you look at it and deal with it and treat ppl and handle yourself and move on toward under around above or threw things that matters.
Yeah when I get talking I get excessive one of my adhd behaviors.
A gift it gives me iam very creative and artistic. Not a expert in one certain thing but good in lots of differnt arts and arts and crafts. I like to make things esp to dectorat my home but to bring lots of pops of differnt colors and textures and designs to my home and change it or rotate every so often and I keep stuff that has meaning to me and tense the rotating.
And I have a good eye for design s and patterns and color corindation. Those are part of my strengths and making good photos and beaded Jeweraly etc mainly necklaces.
Even buying things on sales at stores taking them home and apart and reusing the beads etc in New ways and patterns.
It's fun and soothing and I got to get back to it.
So I thought I'd be brave and open and share and be postive and even show how some of my stuff gives me such great tremonus gifts I treasure and will so always.
And I might not ever know the answers to why I have my stuff or what it even is. So this like other hard things iam learning to deal with and let go of too. Like lots of just old bagged and stuff from the past that has kept me stuck and held me back as an adult.
Love all that I have now and the amazing ppl and critters in it mainly my 2 cats.
And have an awesome birthday Stephanie and latter Danielle's sweet sixteen later in the week.
It's so good to see you all loving your lives now what you have and all the amazing ppl and maybe critters in it or not.
Thanks everyone have a great afternoon or what ever.
P.s. please excuse the mis spellings bad grammar and even wrong words. I have problems with spelling and language mechanics to start off with and have ing to deal with tech issues. Including my phone that has an auto correct program. That has not ever acted right or apporraitely and makes me even more embarsed of my spelling and language mechanics problems. Thought I should let everyone know this. Again thanks.
As a woman with multiple ASD kids who suspects that she too is on the spectrum hearing your “growing up” story would be very interesting to me.
Stephanie make that cardio apt for yourself ASAP you can’t take care off all those beautiful babies if you get sick ! Please making going to that a priority ❤️❤️❤️
Is Liams sleep sack from Babyinabag?!?!?! I LOVVEEE those ones!! It looks like the Minky Summer one they had briefly which is the one we have!!
Thank you for being so open and sharing with us! I would love to see a video on yourself and growing up. I think it might be helpful for yourself as well. ❤️❤️❤️
I would be interested to know about how you were growing up and your story! But of course, only share what you’re comfortable with :)
Id love a video about how you felt different growing up!
Me to!
Me to!
Wow. Glad pregnancies did not harm your heart. Stay safe.
Finding out you carry a genetic abnormality can be devastating. I have three children Jordan 20, Ashley 19, and Alyssa 15. When Jordan was four we found out he has duchenne muscular dystrophy, and I am the one who gave it to him. His diagnosis came after I had my two daughters. I get the question too. "why would you have more children?" I don't know if I would have chosen to have more children if I had known. Feeling guilty is a daily emotion for me and only feeds my anxiety and depression. Also my daughter's are carriers of the gene too. I chose to have them tested before 18 too. Education is everything. I am so glad there are places for families to get answers and talk to others about these things. You are an amazing mom and do everything you can to help guide your beautiful babies through this difficult disease. Knowledge is power💚You are an inspiration to me and my family💚
Yes, can you please do a video on adult and your process on getting evaluated and what did they do to you so they can determine if you have autism. I have a 2.5-year old who has autism and my 9 years old falls on the spectrum but they do not consider him autistic because he only falls on 2 out of the 3 categories. my 9 years old also has ADHD & ODD and I myself found out about 2 years ago that I have ADHD. I actually was shocked. So I think this would so be beneficial. I also am getting my 2.5-year-old genetic testing but due to COVID, it was put on hold. His name is also Liam. Watching these videos are so educational and I am learning a lot. Thank you so much for these videos. ;) You have an amazing family and God bless each and every one of you guys. I have 4 boys myself. ;)
I found out after my daughter's birth that my mother's aunt was autistic but since it wasn't known or named , they came up with the lie that she poisoned herself drinking kerosene. I met her in a home when i was really young.
After being verbally abused by my family saying i had a flawed body, my aunt and cousin told me the truth in cousin. I thought back to my aunt. She made the same sounds as a way to communicate and other things that is now apart of the new and growing science behind autism.
Overtime, it became clear with my son,who was with another guy, and my younger cousin's diagnosis.
Due to the crap i went through speaking up for my daughter, It helped others down the road. My son and I most of all.I was recently and properly diagnosed with ADHD after decades of being treated for bipolar. Something i always denied.
And because of people like you and your family, you have allowed others to know that we are not alone and there is hope for my kids and myself in the future. Thank you so much.
That is SO sad :( I am so glad you know the truth now and you can be the best mama for your kids AND have the correct diagnosis.
First, people shouldn't be asking you why you have so many kids..honestly, sometimes people can be just nosy..and secondly, no matter what, you are a great mom to all those kiddos!
Lena Annis that’s just a bs excuse to be mean and nasty. Just because someone puts their family on TH-cam doesn’t mean they deserve to be subjected to rude treatment. And I totally disagree about the question; it is nosy, and in no way a legit question to ask someone that you don’t even know.
You’re foul
If I was upset by it, I wouldn’t answer it in every video
Our LANDing Crew true true I agree with you more ❤️❤️❤️
100% agree! Sadly people feel like they have a right to know every aspect about people's lives and to criticize especially when it comes to those that have social media, especially vloggers. Just because someone puts a portion of their/family's lives online does NOT give anyone the right to know everything about them. They should be able to keep certain things private and viewers shouldn't judge. It is just a lame excuse to use that "they put their lives out there so they should be used to criticism". It's honestly rude.... This actually brings me to myself. I am disabled and always wanted children even before becoming disabled. I have 2 children, Irish twins. My oldest will be tested for Autism mid Sept and my youngest was born with a heart defect. If I decide to have anymore children it does NOT give anyone the right to judge me. They do not financially or physically support me. Can they ask in a caring way like, "were you scared to have another child? Are you scared that it will become too much?" But to straight out say, "why in the world would you have more kids" is rude....
I think you should get assessed. It's good to know that about yourself.
I'm going to try and find someone who can assess me. I resonate with autism, and I feel like it makes sense for how I feel, and what I do, and my struggles.
Ok, wrote that before the end of the video. I agree with getting assessed as an adult.
you have to know this one thing you 2 are super great parents and will do just fine with the kiddos you have and are going to give them the best life you can that is what matters
my daughter has Deletion 17q23.3 and Duplication 17p13.3 which i passed on i always wanted children shes will be 6 later this year... for me to have more kids i have to go through private special IVF for genetics screening etc long story im a carrier and so is my daughter I think you are amazing mother and to be able to share your life and stories makes me feel like im family watching the vlogs i can relate :) i always felt different growing up :)
Wow,great video learned alot. God bless your family.
I recently was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse. It probably won't cause any problems until I'm much older, but it's nice to know so that we can keep an eye on it. My 2 year old has a very distinct murmur, so we need to do an echocardiogram and see what is going on with his heart too.
I think you should do a video about yourself and your teenage years.Im really curious because I feel like i am different in some ways too.i know almost everyone feels that way but i always felt like something was "off" with my thinking process and my behaviours.So it would be really interesting to listen someone (who seems "normal") talk about this stuff.
Ooo love the lip color!!
I felt different growing up too, and i would love to hear more about your story
At least you’re honest
My kids have the same duplication! I have it to them. Two of my kids have it and one does not. So excited that we found someone else with it!!
When my first son was diagnosed they did genetic screening including us. I came back clear but I have two kids with two different dads both autistic
My sister has epilepsy and she stares off into blank spaces and that’s here having a seizure so sometimes it’s hard
Those are called absence seizures there not as bad as complex partial or grand mal seizures
lkjhb1 yes Ik
Genetics are so interesting! We had our son tested (he just turned 4 - walks on toes, hand flapping when excited, mild speech delay) and he’s adopted. He has 4 birth siblings, one of whom is in the spectrum. That child happens to have a different birth dad than the other 4 though! Developmental pediatrician doesn’t believe he’s on the spectrum.
My son I mean she doesn’t believe is. I still worry. But it’s interesting - is the birth sibling a random case or was it passed from dad? Who knows.
Since I have started watching your videos I have been thinking about having myself checked as well. Maybe even my children and grandchildren. I do not see how it can hurt anything. I always had a hard time in school and I had to take speech therapy and so did both of my children. My dad didn't start talking until he was 7 years old.. do you have any advice for me thank you in advance. Oh yeah my dad and myself have a hard time reading. The way we read hard words is spell it out loud than try to say it. There are other 5hings as well. Probably to many to list here.
I enjoy your videos so much. Would love to see you do one about yourself. You’re very inspiring. God bless!
It’s so crazy cause none of my family has Autism and none of my husbands family had it so we don’t know where it came from? My 2 year old daughter has it she’s non verbal
It can just happen. My 9 year old nephew has autism and no one in our family does either.
Same here. My son is almost five and is on the spectrum, my 2 younger kids are not. No one in my family or husbands family has it either.
adar are your kids all from the same dad? I’m just wondering
Probably because older generations weren't really tested for autism unlike today
Kaylee Quahefvaya yes same dad!
I Am Having A Good Sunday.
Hi guys sending you love from New Jersey 💕
I was diagnosed with social anxiety however I am a preschool teacher and have worked with many children with Autism and started to understand it a bit more (not a professional in any way) but now I am starting to wonder if I am on the spectrum. I am pregnant with my first child and have been wondering about getting evaluated as an adult. Just to know if I have potential to pass it down to my children.
If you think you are autistic you probably are. I also worked w children on the spectrum and later learned that I am as well but not until my 30s. I'm 36 now and pregnant w my first child. My partner is also on the spectrum. You are well equipped to raise this child.
How long did it take for you to get your kids tested and did you go through their pediatrician I'm having a real hard time right now I'm trying to find a different pediatrician for my son
Do you have a video or list of questions I should be asking my sons doctor? What test should I be asking them to run? My son was just diagnosed today with autism.
I'm absolutely fascinated with genes and chromosomes, I think because I have an extra chromosome in my 23rd pair, thus making me trisomy 23. I love figuring out what information each gene holds. I was in speech therapy for a few years and recently started realizing that I'm a bit different (never been diagnosed with anything but I think something is up).
I am happy for you that you have answers now!
Hi where did you go to get your genetics tested ??
Hi, love watching your videos! I am waiting for my son’s genetic testing, (he is 27 months), so I wanted to ask you how does it look like. Do they blood draw from the vein or finger? I m so scared and dont want to cause a stress to my little guy😟
Does anyone understand the coin dropping sound in the intro? It has always confused me!
Hmmm that’s a good question. Maybe it’s because good therapy can be costly? Or maybe bc having a big family is expensive now a days. Idk I’ve never thought about it
To me it's just an interesting sound that gets people's attention. Stephanie mentioned it once. I think she was talking about the OLC channel art or her Halloween intro :)
The penny drops 🤷♀️
It’s from my original channel before we became our landing crew. I keep it to just always remind me where we came from ❤️ I’m just sentimental LOL
@@OurLANDingCrew8 I love it! Promise you'll keep it! 😁
Who asks you if you feel guilty, omg, your a terrific mother
My sons seizures started out being very subtle. It wasn't until he has reached a point where it had got to it's worse without meds that we caught it. His mutation is 2q13 deletion and has a mutation within FOX-G1
I know it's off topic, but what lip gloss are you wearing? I love it
I was very scared to have a child as I have ASD. I was very aware that I could genetically pass it to my child. My family also was very negative about me having a child and that didn't help. I now have a baby daughter and she is my and my husbands whole world ❤
God bless you and your daughter. We are both asd and expecting our first baby in 2021.
I have 2 boys 6 years apart. 2 dad's. Both boys on ASD spectrum.
Its me.... where did you do the genetic testing? Let me know where to get autism diagnosis
The process is different for each state so your PCP should be able to guide you in the process :)
Penelope has the most beautiful eyes 💗
I just found out I have PVC’s and SVT’s in my heart. I’ve had palpitations on and off for years. I was on a monitor 3 years ago , but they blamed it on anxiety. I had the monitor again a couple months ago. This time for 48 hours. She put me on a beta blocker . They’re still not sure if it’s from anxiety or if it’s just something I’ll always have
My son is 21 months in searching for help I'm working on getting my son evaluated for autism I really don't know too much about it but I can tell that he struggles with a lot of things socializing sleep is very hard for him he struggles I'm working on getting him I'm waiting list for the evaluation do you have any advice 4 the journey it all what do you do to calm them when they are very upset over-stimulated we struggle with this a lot I'm really in the world but I don't quite understand I'm just looking for some help to understand a little bit more about autism
You’re awesome!!!
You are an amazing woman an mother. Your strength is to be admired. Take time to care for yourself . May God bless you and your family
I hope you had a fun road trip
The covid cases here in Texas have skyrocketed like crazy, please be safe 😊
I absolutely love that lipstick color on you!
How do you find out about getting tested as an adult?
Does everyone diagnosed with ASD have a genetic abnormality?
We need to take in account that science doesn’t know which gens exactly do cause autism, recently they have identified some that are very likely to be related to cause it, it is believed it is more than one, but it is still unknown if any external influences may interfere too or other factors meaning that to answer your question we really need to wait science and medicine to advance more, in any case gens modifications are involved for sure. Love from Holland.
i hurt all over and m moms mom had it and so did she andi havepassed it on to3 of my kids who do i contact tofind out what itis
Where’d you get your blue nails done?
Why would people ask you if you feel guilty??? A friend of mine had a grandmother who had a malformation of the heart. My friend´s mother had lots of siblings and only one aunt died from a heart attack in her early 30s. So before having children, my friend got herself tested and found out she had a genetic abnormality that could lead to this malformation but she wasn`t clinically affected by it. If she had a child, the chances were 25% they would have the genetic abnormality but that didn`t mean they`d have the heart malformation. She had two children and unfortunately they both have the heart malformation... and they are both happy, wonderful kids. And it would be so unfair to ask her if she "felt guilty" for having them. People... :-/
My daughter will be undergoing an autism assessment next month and I asked our doctor if there is a genetic test we can do to determine if my husband or I have a genetic abnormality like what you are talking about, but he said no test exists! Do you know what this test is called and how I can get it done? Unfortunately my doctor doesn't seem up to speed on this
I would just ask for a referral to genetics if the doctor is uninformed or not willing.
Love your family
Happy birthday Stephanie your amazing one day after years ago I was surfing and I saw you talking it was a few houses ago the house was a mess Noah was different than he was a hand full at that time all over the place I have not stopped watching since you didn't apologize for anything it was this is my live welcome to it along came all the gorgeous babies and they are just absolutely adorable Danny is stunning and I loved the video of all of you and her dad and lony is a wonderful dad right now you have all the right questions and answers but when back in the it was so new and overwhelming you're a loving mom always remember that your kids have always come first your big treat to yourself is a can of diet pepsi im from Canada 🇨🇦 so remember we're watching you in the great white north and if you ever have to to come to Ontario when our borders open up look me up I'd love to show you around
I am looking for help with housing for my two kids with severe non verbal autism. Can you send me info?
My grandpa has autism. My dad has autism. Both my brothers and I have autism. I'm wanting to try to have a baby and I've been struggling basically since I was 12 with the idea that I could give my children special needs and they will have to struggle with being different like I did. I've been back and forth with it for awhile. I always have felt guilty like it would be all my fault and my kid would hate me. I have always planned on adopting my children but as I'm getting older I kinda wanna try to experience birth as well (I have severe PCOS and might not be able to be pregnant) I'd love to hear what other people think.
It doesn't matter I still love your kids and your hole family!! I love being a member of your LANDing Crew! 💙💙💚💚💙💙
How do they test adults? Just with a lot of questions?
I found out I have the same microdeletion as my son who is autistic in fact I have 2 with autism n 2 without I always thought it was my husband who would be the one who had the deletion so I was shocked to discover it was me!!! Now I'm reevaluating my childhood
You really shouldn't feel guilty at all... things happen for a reason... stay positive
How did u go about getting genetic testing done to c if u had autism? I'm curious cuz both of my boy's were diagnosed w/autism. I'm asking u cuz u ain't the 1st Mom that I follow says that there is a genetic testing that can be done.
You don't get genetic testing to see if you have autism, because you can be autistic and not have any known genetic abnormalities, and you can also have genetic abnormalities that contribute to autism and not be autistic. But sometimes a link between a genetic abnormality and someone's autism can be established. To get genetic testing, you should talk to a primary care doctor about it. They might be able to get the genetic testing done for you, or they might refer you to a geneticist to get it done. I believe the test that Steph and her family have gotten done is the Chromosomal Microarray Analysis, but I'm not sure.
No one "has" autism, it's not a disease. It's a neurotype. We are autistic.
@@au_barb I am autistic, and I prefer IFL to PFL, and I don't think autism is a disease, but I would say that I have autism, as in, I have the neurotype that is autism. Autism is my neurotype. I have autism. I am not a person with autism though. I am an autistic person. Language preferences obviously vary amongst autistic individuals.
@@CaitlinAMcCaslin Oh good points, very well said. I actually agree with you here. Thank you for clarifying! I understand better now. :)
@@au_barb Awesome!!
If you dont mind me asking what was the genetic test was called that you had done.
CGH array

No it's random.
