Ah, my lovely strong fellow Asc mummy, I felt your frustrations and your sorrow in this video.. I’m keeping your son in my prayers and you don’t have to be iron built and strong all the time.. you ARE allowed to fall, allowed to be overwhelmed and allowed to need someone to hold you as you hold Dylan.. you will get answers and you as a family will come through this .. xx
We Autism mommas are the toughest women! We do have our breaking points and moments of depression. I have spent countless times when everybody in my household is finally asleep and I cry it out in the shower. I wash away the day and take the next day as a new start.....day by day....minute by minute. You are the best mom for your child. Please stay strong and focus on the fun....positive things. Even if it's playing a funny movie or blowing bubbles for the kids. I'm sending you an online hug🤗. I understand.....I have two boys on the spectrum too. You are amazing! You are a warrior!
you sound so great , im awake , my son is awake as usual until maybe 3 or 4 am , if im lucky and if he is lucky aswell ,its enough we all have to deal with our children and your right we are the best , there are not many of us that would do what we do , with love , compasssion ,shire determination , i am absolutley so knackered its been 13 years grabbing sleep when i can wether its in the afternoon , im 50 and so im feeling it more and more , but i would move a mountain for my son , that s how i feel and i will fight so hard to keep him heathly and happy and make life an adventure a memory i know he will never forget but then life gets in the way , and people who i thought had all the answers or at least knew more than i have let me down ie the doctors and so called experts , i have faith in some , but its times like these , i feel like i am knocking my head against the biggest wall , why can't they hear me and just help my son , patience is the key , and for me keep calm, and speak softly i cannot loose it or get angry , like you sometimes i wait til he is asleep to have a little cry but my sons hearing is so intuned , he can hear me threw 3 rooms and 3 doors and i am whispering , anyway , i think , thank god there are mothers and fathers like you around to look after our unique children who love and adore them so much . he is my life and i am his , we are making the most of what we have ,living in the moment , with a glance into the future ,you never run out of love xxxx i thank my son for loving me so much i feel so blessed he does xxxx
Oh Tara You are such a strong, sensitive and kind person. Just hang in there. This too shall pass. Sending lots of love and hugs for you and your son, please dont feel alone. Hope he feels better soon. 😘😘
When you cry it makes me cry as well because my son is autistic too , i can understand you very well . I hope 🤞 your son get better soon , tnx for sharing your vedios with us ❤️
God I cried so much!! I’m sending you love and lots of prayers. Our Noah is turning four in two days, and we are constantly worried about such issues, he gets better in some aspects of his development, but then goes through phases were it’s hard and scary, and no matter how much I read and watch stories of other parents talking about this, you always end up in a dark place....praying for your baby to get well ♥️
Your this video is such an example for all posting on gifted kids.Other vlogs by other people show only the good.Which is absolutely not normal for mother's like us.This video of yours is so much like me,myself a mother..mother of a gifted child.I am from India.Tears roll down the eyes of we mother's all the time.We wipe of and set to chores.Salute to us!We are amazing !
Thank you for sharing this. As a mom with a naughty toddler, I sometimes feel tired to take care of the family and work at the same time. But after watching a few of your videos and see other parents with autistic child's comments, I feel I've been spoiled. You taught me and other parents who haven't been through all these what it is like to be strong for our own child! You'll get through this! It's just another obstacle to concur and a phase in life to remember.
I totally understand the stress. We were ok with the autism but the medical issues are hard for us too and it’s ok to feel like that. Our children are precious. I hope ur son comes through and he gets the right treatment
With the kind of mom Dylan has, so smart, strong, positive and most of all, overflowing with the love for Dylan, yes he will get better. How could he not? Yourself are so determined. You know more than anyone that a mother's love is pretty much omnipotent. You've overcome so many other problems too. Your love for Dylan is bigger than the problem itself. We love you and thank you for opening up. From Japan(mother of a six-year- old with autism )
hi all the way from Dubai . God bless you for the good you do . We have a 3 year old autistic son and it has been very hard for my wife . I cannot imagine the pain mothers go through
I needed this more than ever right now. You are not alone Mama! Thank you for the honesty and showing the ups and downs. You have no idea how much you’re helping other parents going through this by sharing his journey! Sending lots of love and well wishes for your beautiful boy and family. Take care ♥️
Oh dearest, God love you precious lady and I will pray daily for you and your family. You are not alone and I know how brave you are. You have such a gorgeous family.
You know it can happened to woman who is so strong. It Is obviously painful and you are in the stress continuously. You're great mum great woman!!!! If it's possible take your time and pamper yourself. Love you!!
I watched your TH-cam since the first one, it was like destiny that my son has find out and timeline of his autistic is like yours, what I mean is when I saw Dylan, it is bright my way out, his smile and loved by ones around give me my son's smile again. My son is 6.5yrs old now, hospital and doctor visit is disaster as yours, once in the emergency, put in sleep because he was able to do anything but screaming, my heart was torn apart with holding him and think what is going to be in the long run of his life. Hope you, your family and Dylan go through this together.
Just saw this now. You are so strong and awesome. I have a autistic son too, I know what you’re going through! Don’t ever give up! This video helped me so much! Thank you! Sending good vibes your way! ❤
Your beautiful son was sent to you for a reason, you are so strong and so loving..he is so blessed to have a mother like you❤️ I’m praying for you and your family ✝️🛐♾️
As you well know, there's always ups and downs with these kids. I hope you get your answers soon so you can deal with it . Not knowing and feeling helpless is very hard. We went through a rough patch when epilepsy pop out its ugly face.. But that also passed and medication helped us to regain control over that. It's very unfortunate that it's happening now when the NHS is so overwhelmed with COVID19. Take it one day at a time and at the end of the day go over the positives and that that made you smiled. Big hugs xxxxx
I watched a few of your videos last fall, but haven’t watched again until I just saw your latest video now. I have a 2.5 year-old Grandson who is a late or delayed talker. He’s had many tests but has not received a diagnosed of Autism. I have been impressed w/your strength, dedication, and fiercest love for your children & family. I am a Christian & believer in God and how He answers prayer(s). I will add Dylan’s health issues and you and your entire family to my prayer list! God bless Dylan, you, & Dylan’s medical Doctors that they will get an accurate dx SOON! 🤗🌹♥️🌷💝
Cried along with you... Really hope is just a phase (cuz don't we get a lot of those?) and everything is fine with Dylan. Allways say this with my boy... We can handle all the neuro problems but, God, please keep him healthy... That's what I hope for you, aswell, for Dylan to be healthy and for all this bad stuff to go away soon! Sending to you, momma, a big, big hug!
I went through something similar Mamma. This is the age that most children are diagnosed. So it's the toughest age for many moms and dads to go through. My son Juan also starved himself because he thought food was making him sick. We spent many days in hospital and went through hell. He almost got a feeding tube. He is almost 13 now and he is much much better. If you would like to know what worked for us just let me know. Sending you HUGS and thoughts and love!
Michelle Engelamm thank you thank you. Would really appreciate that. So nice to hear that your son is doing better now. My email is info@cominghometoautism.com ❤️
Relapsing Polychondritis is an autoimmune desease that can shoot up the white blood cell count.. Mention it to his doctor 🥼.. Hopefully it’s not that serious & I’m praying 🙏🏻 for U, your child & your family that turns out well.. You’ve got your Utube team here for U.. 💪🏻 .. Safety comes in numbers & U are not alone.. Take care 👋🏻
My love honestly I sensed something I worry so much wirh Harrison and notice things like his dark eyes when he not been toilet, dehydration getting them to drink and not managed to get blood either Thankyou so much from our heart yes please keep us informed sending you a virtual hug 🤗 xxxxx
You are just such an inspiration to everyone and every parent. You’ve been such a great source of comfort and reassurance for all of us with autistic children in our lives and families and as a thank you for your soul, your honesty, your compassion and your insights I will pray for you every day. As a Muslim we pray 5x a day and I most certainly will remember your family and Dillion in each of those prayers. Please god he makes a full recovery. Amen. Please god he has no untoward or serious diagnoses. Amen. Please god he and all your family are blessed with good health, peace and strength. God bless you. You are such a strong fighting spirit and you’ll carry your son through this.
Sending lots of love and prayers Tara. Thank you for sharing such a difficult time in your life with us, we are all in this together and can share what you are feeling. My son was recently unwell with kidney issues and the medical team would be so patronising when I'd say you'll struggle to get blood, they'd almost roll eyes at me until they experienced it for themselves. Questions like "how much pain is he feeling" and I am like he can't really understand that concept yet. Then they decide he is in no pain, until bloods and scans come back showing he must be in pain. It is horrible and heartbreaking but you'll get through this and so will Dylan - all my love and prayers are with you in this hard time. Your an amazing mum and so strong, we love you xx
Hannah Ahmed oh I feel you on this I really do! I get that all the time oh we have done this hundreds of times before lol then they try now luck makes me a giggle a bit! I hope your son is ok now? X
You are hope for lot many parents like me. You are really very strong mom and an inspiration. I cried while watching this. Hoping your son will be healthy and all right soon. Sending prayers your way 🙏🙏🙏
Loads of love and Healing to D,your doing an incredible job in extremely difficult times Tara. I hope Dylan turns a corner with his health soon and you can build your boy back up.x
Prayers and love to you and your family. You are an amazing woman, and you have helped me with these videos. I just found out about my son's diagnosis a week ago. Love and light to you!
I found your videos a few months back. We intuitively knew our grandson was on the ASD and were going through the diagnostic period, doing what we all do (research). Thank you for being there, a calm, honest light in the storm. From the comments there's validation in the worthiness of your efforts. I know you are about to teach us much in this scary part of y'alls journey. God bless you. Now is not the time but, in future, please do that video on getting blood work done. My grandson is 2 and already too strong for all but his big, strong father to constrain. His mom and I cry every time. I'm positive this is a common traumatic issue for most. I'd say stay strong but you already are and you'll get your "baby" through this struggle as you have all the others. My heart goes out to you.
Dear Sister you're our strength..As a Father of 4 year old son I can understand being helpless but I have complete faith in God that He will get well soon InshAllah.. Mother's like You're an emblem of strength and honor..God bless you and be optimistic
Dear Tara, I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. He has been on my mind and in my prayers ever since you told us about his health condition the first time. I hope you know how strong you are❤️ And if it helps you cope, I hope you keep posting updates. We're all invested in this with you now. But don't burden yourself with extra responsibilities if it's not helpful for your mental health and family. Love x Amal
Chips&Sushi thank you my friend . It’s so comforting to know I have you all behind me . I’ll keep posting every day in stories and a couple times a week in videos ❤️❤️
Keeping your family in my prayers! You *will* get through this and be stronger on the other side! You're clearly an incredible mother, and Dylan is lucky to have you! One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. You've got this!!
Just stumbled across your video and it touched me. I'm the mom to a son with autism as well, and the challenges and victories that come every hour of every day with autism. He also had what we thought was just a particularly horrible entry into adolescence but turned out to be bipolar disorder. He became so delusional that he had to be admitted to a nine month residential facility in order to stabilize and heal from his psychosis and I found myself having to share custody of this child who is my world with strangers who don't see him in entirely the same way as I do. It was beyond stressful. We got through it, as families do, thank God, and we are on a much better place now, though it is a day by day process. All this to say, you're not alone, even when this journey makes you feel completely isolated and beyond exhausted. There are others who really understand, who are from within the same situation and are struggling too. Hugs and peace to you!
Thank you for sharing your struggles and your triumphs. My daughter was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder about 1985 when she was 5 years old. I learned some 20 years later that was the term then used for children on the autism spectrum. Knowledge and services did not become available until the 2000's. As well she had been diagnosed with another condition which was rare which took precedence in the mind of her Doc. I can relate to your feelings of wanting to do do everything you can for your child and his siblings. It can be very overwhelming. I am glad to hear you have Andrew's support because, as you know so well doing it on your own and keeping your sanity is nigh on impossible. At the time I was caring for my daughter I so desperately needed to hear the stories of others, the good , the difficult and the solutions. One important thing I have learned over the years is the importance of doing one thing in your day to do something in your day that is just for you that can't be undone. Clean dishes, a copper floor, a meal are always undone. Painting your toe nails, a bubble bath, listening undisturbed to a song that gives you pleasure can't be undone. Thank you for your sharing and may Gods blessings continue to be with you.
I am sooooooo very encouraged by your bravery! Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us. I'm sending a prayer of peace, expedient recovery, and many more blessings for you and your family.
God Bless Dylan...he is going to fine..Being a parent of 2 boys i understand what you are going through but trust me he is going to be fine..all our blessings are with him.
Lots of love...my son is 2.8 ..recently he is assessed for autism...i watched ur whole videos in a day..lots of love snd prayers for u and ur family... I want to b courageous as u r
Thankyou for being so honest xxx. I am having a hard time at the moment with my 11 year old boy. Feel like I can't cope. You are allowed to break down.
Hello, our son is almost 2 1/2 and was diagnosed with Autism at 18 months. We first thought he was deaf at first because he wouldn’t turn his head, when we talked to him. Fast forward it is extremely tuff some days. He can be in his own world and he could care less about us sometimes. We had a daughter first before our son and we are about to have another daughter in July. We feel your pain and struggles. Keep your head up and never give up the fight.
You have helped me so much with your great true to life videos,my six year old great nephew has non verbal autism. In tears watching today,so worrying and frustrating waiting to get results,whatever the outcome you will be amazing and even you don’t feel it,once you know what is the problem you will be able to start tackling it with all your strength and love. Thinking of you all x
We have a son also with Autism. Speak Blessings over Dylan and Speak positive things towards him at all times. He is an angel, And a child of God. As all of our children are.
My heart goes to you and your precious son, Be strong and have faith that everything is going to be alright You and your family would be in my prayers. ❤️🙏
You're a wonderful mum and a great inspiration to many mums out there. The lord is your strength. Prayers and positive thoughts to Dylan. Get well soon super man
Sending you and your family much love and prayers! Thank you for being so real and sharing real life not only with ASD but with everything. I’m a new mommy to a shield with ASD and I find comfort and hope in watching your experiences. Thank you!
You do a really great job. you are the best mother for dylan, i pray for you and wish you a lot of strength also for the rest of your family. Thank you for the Videos. Hugs from Germany.
I love the spirit you have to keep going on. That's the most valuable treatment for anything. I love you and your family. My prayers are with Dylan and you. Dylan will be absolutely alright. Faith, believe and let's keep going on. Love and prayers for your family.
I always look on a bright side of things.. when my son is not eating I kind of think and try to let myself believe that this is a sort of Fasting for him.. and maybe because i have searched that fasting is a way to heal our body.. but then still it is important to have the tests..
Hey, thank you for your honesty. So very sorry that Dylan is unwell and has lost an awful lot of weight. Be strong for Dylan and positive for your family. I am certain, if anyone can find the way out of this situation, you can. Will keep praying for Dylan, you and your family and may the good Lord bless all of you, always.
Sending my prayers all the way from Africa. ❤❤❤ You are an inspiration to me...I'm also on this journey and I see a lot of me in you; the positivity; the resilience; the fighting spirit and the unconditional love for your children. Aut moms are the best❤❤❤
I'm praying for u ,praying for us moms for more strength, patience 🙏 and grace 🙏 keep been strong. We are learning from u each time u post. I learn and prepare myself for days like these 🙏
You are a great mom and a strong person.... Been following you just since last week. This too shall pass, must just be a phase. All will be well... Prayers for you and your family.
my brother who's also autistic had gone through something similar in the past as he transited to adulthood. stopped eating and drinking water for several months as if he had lost all interest in it and had to be hospitalised in order to get him an iv drip before he got any skinnier. it must be so hard on you and the family right now but know that this will pass, wishing you and dylan only the best. we can do this
I know just how you feel. It's so heartbreaking when all you want to do is help your babies and you feel like you're in a place where you can't. And you try and you try only to feel like you constantly fall short. Praying that there will be clarity on how to help your boy feel better and uncovering the cause of his loss of appetite. I have four boys two with ASD I am with you sister. Thank you for being real and sharing your life. You are beautiful and your love for your children shines right through the screen. Praying for God's love to fill you with peace.
Sending you lots of hugs! You are amazing mom. And you’ll go through this like you always do. Compare to you I’m total failure for my ASD child. You’re are great example for me and I’m sure many more moms. Stay strong 😘
You are such a beautiful mum, strong woman and you will get through this!! I truly believe the power of positive energy and prayers... I'm praying for you n Dylan... Unfortunately I know exactly what you are going through right now, and how overwhelming n draining all this is (hospital, testings, waiting for results...) THANK YOU FOR BEING SO TRANSPARENT this community is here for you too ❤ wish I could give you a cuddle mumma. love you
I have just come across your videos today. I am watching all. You are so wonderful, and strong. I will be praying for you all. My son is just 4 the end of March and has ASD. Thank you for your strength. Sending you a BIG hug! My son is back in his program with one on one and they are only allowing a few kids back in and wearing mask etc. But I must tell you as well i am so emotional everyday about COVID-19 and praying i am making the correct choice by sending him back. he needs his therapy. Stay Strong Mama you are amaZing! Thank you again for your videos. My day has gotten better as I sit here watching them. HUGS!
Thank you for sharing your story, once again, even though it is so hard. Health challenges with our ASD children can be especially trying, to be sure. Your family will be in my prayers. +
Stay strong tara. I can totally relate to the pain when u see your child struggling. Just hold on. Dylan is a brave boy and so are you. U will get through this.....
I really feel for you when I was 10 I didn’t want to eat I was put on a chart to monitor my eating I really feel you and want to hug you and your family tight particularly him as I was him having to go in to hospital have tests and that anxiety jay he is and I had the same anxiety about not eating I used to kick and scream , i am keeping you in my prays if you want to and any questions we could always FaceTime if he wants a friendly face who has been though things like him I am always here for you.

Take care 👋🏻

You are just such an inspiration to everyone and every parent. You’ve been such a great source of comfort and reassurance for all of us with autistic children in our lives and families and as a thank you for your soul, your honesty, your compassion and your insights I will pray for you every day. As a Muslim we pray 5x a day and I most certainly will remember your family and Dillion in each of those prayers. Please god he makes a full recovery. Amen. Please god he has no untoward or serious diagnoses. Amen. Please god he and all your family are blessed with good health, peace and strength. God bless you. You are such a strong fighting spirit and you’ll carry your son through this.
Prayers for all of you! God can do anything if you believe 🙏🏽
Sending lots of love and prayers Tara. Thank you for sharing such a difficult time in your life with us, we are all in this together and can share what you are feeling. My son was recently unwell with kidney issues and the medical team would be so patronising when I'd say you'll struggle to get blood, they'd almost roll eyes at me until they experienced it for themselves. Questions like "how much pain is he feeling" and I am like he can't really understand that concept yet. Then they decide he is in no pain, until bloods and scans come back showing he must be in pain. It is horrible and heartbreaking but you'll get through this and so will Dylan - all my love and prayers are with you in this hard time. Your an amazing mum and so strong, we love you xx
Hannah Ahmed oh I feel you on this I really do! I get that all the time oh we have done this hundreds of times before lol then they try now luck makes me a giggle a bit! I hope your son is ok now? X
You are hope for lot many parents like me. You are really very strong mom and an inspiration. I cried while watching this. Hoping your son will be healthy and all right soon. Sending prayers your way 🙏🙏🙏
Love you tara. Please stay strong. Not just for your family but for our families please. You are the best. You can do it.
Loads of love and Healing to D,your doing an incredible job in extremely difficult times Tara. I hope Dylan turns a corner with his health soon and you can build your boy back up.x
Katie Vanston thank you my sweet friend. Just feel like I gotta kick myself in the butt and try find a way forward for dylan to make him better x
Prayers lifted for you and family and your precious son. Our father knows our needs and will know what to do. Many hugs and prayers lifted 💖💖💖💖
Prayers and love to you and your family. You are an amazing woman, and you have helped me with these videos. I just found out about my son's diagnosis a week ago. Love and light to you!
sending you a big hug x
You’re an incredible Mama to all of your children. I hope your son feels better soon. I will keep praying 🙏🏽❤️
Sarah Issa thank you xox
God Bless you. Stay Strong . You are a Beautiful mummy and a Beautiful person xx
I found your videos a few months back. We intuitively knew our grandson was on the ASD and were going through the diagnostic period, doing what we all do (research). Thank you for being there, a calm, honest light in the storm. From the comments there's validation in the worthiness of your efforts. I know you are about to teach us much in this scary part of y'alls journey. God bless you. Now is not the time but, in future, please do that video on getting blood work done. My grandson is 2 and already too strong for all but his big, strong father to constrain. His mom and I cry every time. I'm positive this is a common traumatic issue for most. I'd say stay strong but you already are and you'll get your "baby" through this struggle as you have all the others. My heart goes out to you.
thank you for taking the time to comment. I am going to do one on blood tests soon as i have learnt so much in the past few weeks about it x
Dear Sister you're our strength..As a Father of 4 year old son I can understand being helpless but I have complete faith in God that He will get well soon InshAllah.. Mother's like You're an emblem of strength and honor..God bless you and be optimistic
Adeel Baloch thank you my sweet friend ❤️
Dear Tara,
I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. He has been on my mind and in my prayers ever since you told us about his health condition the first time. I hope you know how strong you are❤️ And if it helps you cope, I hope you keep posting updates. We're all invested in this with you now. But don't burden yourself with extra responsibilities if it's not helpful for your mental health and family.
Love x Amal
Chips&Sushi thank you my friend . It’s so comforting to know I have you all behind me . I’ll keep posting every day in stories and a couple times a week in videos ❤️❤️
Praying for you all as you are going through this. This has to be hard. One day at a time. Sending lots of hugs for you all!
Keeping your family in my prayers! You *will* get through this and be stronger on the other side! You're clearly an incredible mother, and Dylan is lucky to have you! One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. You've got this!!
Sorry for the late reply it’s been a bit crazy here as you can imagine I really appreciate your message so thank you very much
Oh dear so sorry to hear this praying and sending positive energy
Tara, you and Dylan.. and your family..Are in my daily prayers!! Lotslove
Praying for you so hard right now. You are a such strong mom and we admire you so much Tara. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much xox
Just stumbled across your video and it touched me. I'm the mom to a son with autism as well, and the challenges and victories that come every hour of every day with autism. He also had what we thought was just a particularly horrible entry into adolescence but turned out to be bipolar disorder. He became so delusional that he had to be admitted to a nine month residential facility in order to stabilize and heal from his psychosis and I found myself having to share custody of this child who is my world with strangers who don't see him in entirely the same way as I do. It was beyond stressful. We got through it, as families do, thank God, and we are on a much better place now, though it is a day by day process.
All this to say, you're not alone, even when this journey makes you feel completely isolated and beyond exhausted. There are others who really understand, who are from within the same situation and are struggling too. Hugs and peace to you!
Thank you for sharing your struggles and your triumphs. My daughter was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder about 1985 when she was 5 years old. I learned some 20 years later that was the term then used for children on the autism spectrum. Knowledge and services did not become available until the 2000's. As well she had been diagnosed with another condition which was rare which took precedence in the mind of her Doc. I can relate to your feelings of wanting to do do everything you can for your child and his siblings. It can be very overwhelming. I am glad to hear you have Andrew's support because, as you know so well doing it on your own and keeping your sanity is nigh on impossible. At the time I was caring for my daughter I so desperately needed to hear the stories of others, the good , the difficult and the solutions. One important thing I have learned over the years is the importance of doing one thing in your day to do something in your day that is just for you that can't be undone. Clean dishes, a copper floor, a meal are always undone. Painting your toe nails, a bubble bath, listening undisturbed to a song that gives you pleasure can't be undone. Thank you for your sharing and may Gods blessings continue to be with you.
I am sooooooo very encouraged by your bravery! Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us. I'm sending a prayer of peace, expedient recovery, and many more blessings for you and your family.
Thank you so much xx
Just seeing this video now and it makes me want to just give you a hug. I hope things have gotten better for you and Dillon.
Thank you so much. Dylan is slowly slowly getting better ❤️
God Bless Dylan...he is going to fine..Being a parent of 2 boys i understand what you are going through but trust me he is going to be fine..all our blessings are with him.

Lots of love...my son is 2.8 ..recently he is assessed for autism...i watched ur whole videos in a day..lots of love snd prayers for u and ur family...

Thankyou for being so honest xxx. I am having a hard time at the moment with my 11 year old boy. Feel like I can't cope. You are allowed to break down.
Foz it’s such a difficult age. I’ve heard it does pass though so hang on in there x
Hello, our son is almost 2 1/2 and was diagnosed with Autism at 18 months. We first thought he was deaf at first because he wouldn’t turn his head, when we talked to him. Fast forward it is extremely tuff some days. He can be in his own world and he could care less about us sometimes. We had a daughter first before our son and we are about to have another daughter in July. We feel your pain and struggles. Keep your head up and never give up the fight.
Keep faith, this too shall pass. Big hugs to you momma.
You have helped me so much with your great true to life videos,my six year old great nephew has non verbal autism. In tears watching today,so worrying and frustrating waiting to get results,whatever the outcome you will be amazing and even you don’t feel it,once you know what is the problem you will be able to start tackling it with all your strength and love. Thinking of you all x
thank you my friend x
We have a son also with Autism. Speak Blessings over Dylan and Speak positive things towards him at all times. He is an angel, And a child of God. As all of our children are.
Thank you so much xox
My heart goes to you and your precious son, Be strong and have faith that everything is going to be alright You and your family would be in my prayers. ❤️🙏
You're a wonderful mum and a great inspiration to many mums out there. The lord is your strength. Prayers and positive thoughts to Dylan. Get well soon super man
Sending you and your family much love and prayers! Thank you for being so real and sharing real life not only with ASD but with everything. I’m a new mommy to a shield with ASD and I find comfort and hope in watching your experiences. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to comment . Welcome to my on line family xox
praying that Dylan has no serious physical illness... and praying for you too that you'll be able to come out with your struggles! God bless!

I feel you..may God bless you and get you through these difficult times
I love the spirit you have to keep going on. That's the most valuable treatment for anything. I love you and your family. My prayers are with Dylan and you. Dylan will be absolutely alright. Faith, believe and let's keep going on. Love and prayers for your family.
Bless you thank you x
I always look on a bright side of things.. when my son is not eating I kind of think and try to let myself believe that this is a sort of Fasting for him.. and maybe because i have searched that fasting is a way to heal our body.. but then still it is important to have the tests..
Hey, thank you for your honesty. So very sorry that Dylan is unwell and has lost an awful lot of weight. Be strong for Dylan and positive for your family. I am certain, if anyone can find the way out of this situation, you can.
Will keep praying for Dylan, you and your family and may the good Lord bless all of you, always.
Cheng Lim ❤️❤️❤️

Dylan is so lucky to have you. You are a fantastic Mom and a beautiful person. ❤️🍀❤️
Sending strength love and 🙏
my brother who's also autistic had gone through something similar in the past as he transited to adulthood. stopped eating and drinking water for several months as if he had lost all interest in it and had to be hospitalised in order to get him an iv drip before he got any skinnier. it must be so hard on you and the family right now but know that this will pass, wishing you and dylan only the best. we can do this
I know just how you feel. It's so heartbreaking when all you want to do is help your babies and you feel like you're in a place where you can't. And you try and you try only to feel like you constantly fall short. Praying that there will be clarity on how to help your boy feel better and uncovering the cause of his loss of appetite. I have four boys two with ASD I am with you sister. Thank you for being real and sharing your life. You are beautiful and your love for your children shines right through the screen. Praying for God's love to fill you with peace.
Sending you lots of hugs! You are amazing mom. And you’ll go through this like you always do. Compare to you I’m total failure for my ASD child. You’re are great example for me and I’m sure many more moms. Stay strong 😘
You’re an amazing mum and don’t you forget it all in this together. 🥰
Stay strong Tara! All my prayers with you and family ❤
Thank you so much
I'm so sorry to hear about all of this. My prayers and thoughts have been sent above wishing the best for you and your family
You are such a beautiful mum, strong woman and you will get through this!! I truly believe the power of positive energy and prayers... I'm praying for you n Dylan...
Unfortunately I know exactly what you are going through right now, and how overwhelming n draining all this is (hospital, testings, waiting for results...)
THANK YOU FOR BEING SO TRANSPARENT

Thank you for your strength. Sending you a BIG hug! My son is back in his program with one on one and they are only allowing a few kids back in and wearing mask etc. But I must tell you as well i am so emotional everyday about COVID-19 and praying i am making the correct choice by sending him back. he needs his therapy. Stay Strong Mama you are amaZing! Thank you again for your videos. My day has gotten better as I sit here watching them. HUGS!
