EARLY AUTISM SIGNS IN BABIES (actual footage)

- Autism does NOT have a look but this is what Autism looks like to us in our autistic toddler Liam. Our 1 year old toddler has been diagnosed as moderately to severely autistic so here are the early signs of autism in 20 month old toddlers. The signs of autism in babies or toddlers aren't always easy to tell but if you are concerned or unsure about your child, please contact their physician. Early intervention is key

Holy cow this was not only very informative but I love how you edited it and put it together. This was a really great video. My niece gets her results tomorrow from her eval. She is 3. Your videos are always helpful for me to ensure I understand her as best I can
Great video! I've been an ABA therapist for 20 years and it's always great when parents share information with each other. If there is just 1 parent who sees this video and decides to get a formal evaluation from a qualified evaluator (not random therapists with personal opinions), you have made a big difference in starting to pave the path to the rest of that child's life. I wish I could show parents what I have experienced over these 20 years, so they could see that there is more than hope, there are real results! Time is so precious.
I want to cry, my son is 16 months old and we are seeing his pediatrician tomorrow. My son does everything that your son does. Plus the getting mad, biting when his mad.
My son also bites when gets mad. How was your pediatrician appointment results?
@@alim.hosseini4638 she said that he is very normal for a 16 month old. To not worry.
@@boredmom3287 Thanks God. God bless you and your baby
@@alim.hosseini4638 sometimes we stress for nothing. I’m sure your baby is fine too. We have to stop compare our babies to others. I know I do that but I have to chill too.
@@boredmom3287 I hope so. Thanks for your good words.
I knew my son had it at birth. I was told he would never talk potty train and be in a institution at 10 years old. He was 5 when he was potty trained. He talked at 3 he still repeats certain things. He didn’t sleep through the night til he was 5. He was super hyper. He is 26. He works in a grocery store. He manages his money. Takes 2 buses to and from work. Looking down and not looking you in the eye is common. My son at 13 started looking at us in the eye. He is not what the experts said
Wow madam he is 26nowhow he is now.. He is talking now plz reply mamm
Great video! You are really well-educated about ASD and explain so well. I’m a pediatric SLP and early intervention provider. Liam is adorable! Love those ginger curls!
Very informative! You explained it so well and kept the integrity of Liam in a positive light and showing what he does on a daily basis. Your videos rock Stephanie!!!
Thank you for helping educate people. My son was diagnosed at 13, after years of me thinking that I just suck at parenting.
I have austism spectrum too at 6months old
Your sweet boy reminds me sooooo much of my own ASD toddler 😊❤️
He behaves EXACTLY the same way, right down to how he is with his baby sister (ours was born in August 😊)
skittlepumpkin Same here
I know he was already diagnosed but some of these things just seem like typical toddler behavior.
Exactly
My older son didn't talk till he was 3 and started going to preschool.
@@lmrharper3586 I actually agree with you that there isnt' a lot that many wouldn't think was "normal", it's why when all the professionals started bringing up concerns and pointing things out I was like "I didn't realize he was supposed to be doing ALL of those things" and its why I made this video. To help let others know hey these are the early signs.. His muscle tone has been diagnosed and confirmed by 2 occupational therapists, 2 pediatricians, 1 physical therapist, the doctor who evaluated him, and the Early Steps therapist who was also a special needs mom. So I can understand how you could watch a 10 min video and say "oh I don't see that" but its just a 10 min clips of very short clips. You can believe it or not. That's not what this video was about, it was to help educate others. I hope you have a great holiday season!
I was thinking that too 😒
My mind voice 😌😌😌
There are some very good signs with Liam though... he is babbling and he is trying to grab your attention alot so those are all good things. I reckon he will probably be verbal eventually. Such a cutie xx
Your such a Good Mommy! And he is so cute! His perfect the way that GOD made him! JESUS LOVE'! Liam!💖💖💖You have a Bless Family!😇😇😇
I have a son who is now 40 who is autistic. I wish this sort of video had been available when he was a toddler. I knew something was wrong but I had no idea what.
How is your son now?
Him bonking his head + your reaction is literally my whole expierence as a mother 😂😂
My son has always made like loud humming? sounds. He’s 13 now and still does it. He’s also always ran back and forth while flapping his hands. All of his tendencies started when he was around 2. Before age 2 he was just very distant and wouldn’t look at us. He still won’t talk.
The humming is verbal stymming.
he seems very normal to me!
he isn’t though she explains how he isn’t
I also think so because I take care of kids and I have seen many behzve like this and now they are big normal kids. On the videos I see a normal kid just hyper active
After a 10 minute video 🤔🙄
Define normal?
... You work with kids? Then surely you should know that saying normal is not a good way to describe a typically developing child. Just say typical or atypical.
Great video! Wish videos like this were around when my daughter was diagnosed. You are doing so much to help others. Mad respect! Love you guys.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for sharing your family for educational reasons. Very helpful! Exactly the video I was looking for! God bless Liam❤️
I knew my son was autistic at 2 months old. It was heartbreaking at first but 3 years later we are having so much fun
But how u recognise so early plz reply
How did you know so early
You are an awesome mother and Liam is so adorable.. love u both..
One minute in and my heart melts your a blessed mother ....best wishes :)
I have a 5 year old daughter and 11 year old son and I knew right from babies that they had autism, but nobody would listen to me, until last year, I found an amazing PSY who actually listened to me and diagnosed them both! I feel sad for all the wasted years my kids could have gotten help with.
I agree! A video of Noah if he’s okay with that. 😊
thanks for the post it helped my daughter thinks her baby is autistic she is two hasnt spoke a word she is beign tested currently she does acknowledge her mom but a lot others stuff in post she does i have viewed another person post and my grand daughter does a lot that as well so helpful i will send this to my daughter
My little brother acted like this from 1 till he was 5 we took him to multiple doctors and speech doctors he’s 14 and perfectly fine now I’m wishing the same for you 💜
He made very little eye contact you would have to get his attention with something he likes such as a toy or object and no he didn’t fully talk till 5 but we did get him a speech therapist from the children’s hospital and he was diagnosed with quiet ADHD
Allthingsperish I also have a 1 year old son and he does the same thing he ignores me all day until he wants to be held and he doesn’t say anything until he wants something I really think it’s development pace every child develop at their own pace I’m pretty sure your child is fine (i hope that doesn’t sound harsh) but I wouldn’t recommend some research and getting a few opinions from other moms and doctors and I pray all goes well and your daughter starts talking soon
@LivingLink how old is your baby? My son is 11 months and he does the same thing when I sing full attention but otherwise it's like I'm not there.
@LivingLink Hi. How is your daughter now. My son does the same thing that u mentioned. Is your daughter doing fine. Pls reply
My guy also gives full attention when singing. He is 18 months now and was diagnosed yesterday with Autism. Everyone else told me he is fine and just delayed but the doctors think otherwise. Im crushed.
Liam is so adorable. He reminds me so much of my mod-severe asd baby (She’s about to turn 4 next month! 😭) They have soooo many of the same traits and quirks 💜💜
What is her condition now
Yes please do Noah. Thank you for the informational video. How can you tell about sensory disorders?
Eee. I woukd love to see Noah too. I wonder if he was similar like Liam was.
They don't like certain material it feels awful on their skin.They may not like water....so showers or baths can be a struggle.Smells they will let u know if verbal,or put shirt over nose&complain kinda loud.Visually things have to be in the order they like or they may become highly agitated.And loud noises are bad,they may cover their ears and run back to room.
See some1 else has lupus.i do too and deteriorating health with other illnessess.....hang in there!!💖
Sensory disorders can look different. In some cases the individual is very sensitive and doesn’t like a lot of sensory or become easily overwhelmed by it. ( being touched, the way something feels, they way food tastes, loud sounds, bright lights)
In other cases the individual may not receive the same response a Nero typical individual would when experiencing certain sensations so they crave thing in more intense amounts. ( loud sounds, very sweet or salty foods, when something feels a certain way “textures” tight clothing, weighted blankets, some my even enjoy hitting or biting themselves because to them it feels more like a hug or a high five. The brain isn’t registering the sensation as intensely as it should so they are attempting to fill that gap.
jess Kickinit wow interesting
This is a very informative video and to the point well edited and Liam is super cute!
Thanks so much! 😊
This is a great video, thank you for sharing your experiences. Liam's mannerisms and behaviors are so familiar and bittersweet for me to watch, my own son had almost exactly the same delays and mannerisms when he was Liam's age. His language was mostly words he would echo back and practically non-existent, he had the same stims (especially the head shaking) and he seemed to be in his own world. Now my son is a healthy 16-year-old junior in high school, on the honor roll and looking at colleges, driving himself to school in the car he saved to buy, and holding down a part time job. He still has some struggles with higher order social situations, but he has friends and a well developed sense of humor and he functions like any other high school kid.
Early intervention was absolutely essential - my son had occupational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, and behavioral therapy...in school and privately. My son also had hippotherapy (OT on horseback) which addressed his low tone and poor balance and helped him meet his goal of riding his bike. It's been a long road, but so incredibly worth it!
My unsolicited advice to all the parents who are concerned and navigating an autism diagnosis - become your child's fiercest advocate. Learn about the IEP process at school and find out what kind of supports the school system must have in place. Respectfully request all therapists (school and private) communicate with other so the therapies are in sync. Do not believe that your child is the sum of his or her diagnosis, a diagnosis will never accurately predict what your child is capable of. You got this, your child is capable of so much with you in their corner. ❤
Literally crying as I read this. My 16 month old is showing all the signs of autism and I have been so worried sick and upset thinking that there were would be almost no chance she could have a normal life if and when she gets diagnosed. Your amazing son is so inspirational and gives me so much hope. You are also an amazing parent to have made sure he had every opportunity to succeed. Thank you for sharing your story!
He says and does more than my not yet diagnosed 2.5 year old, and has more clear signs of normal development. 20 months is too early to diagnose IMO. There’s still time for the development of responding to his name and other basic things that might just not have formed in his brain yet at that age. Kids at that age don’t play with each other, they ‘play’ along side each other. ABA is not very humane. My opinion. It teaches that autism is a range of badly behaved symptoms, which is just not true, autism is a difference in neurobiology. It could be good for self injurious or harmful behaviour perhaps, but not for anything else. I know this is old, but I would have let him be for a bit longer. You'll end up making him feel bad for his being his normal autistic self. No parent is perfect, and mum is clearly doing what she think is best, but it’s incredibly different over here in the UK to how we do things. ABA is just not done.
I didn't know anything about autism when I first started watching TH-cam there are a lot of different channels that talk about their autistic children but you really explain it to a point where anybody could understand you have taught me so much and I do appreciate that
I have a question I recently had a family member who was on the spectrum and then taken off by another neurologist a year later. Is there any chance that some of these " typical autistic signs " are just typical toddler behaviours. Only because when they said she was autistic I really felt the kid was slow to warm and her behaviour would change with each interaction. It's concerning cause these labels are defining their care only to be changed just like kids do.
this video touched my heart! Liam is beautiful inside and out! and You are a wonderful mother💗💗💗
Great video! Your children are precious!
Omg thank you thank you thank you for this video I really needed it
Great job steph this was a really good video and very informative
One of the hard part about having a child with Autism is making sure you keep reminding yourself that they love you even though they don't show affection.
Thank you, Steph. This was very informative and enlightening. I, too, hope you will consider doing a similar vlog on Noah. I have learned so much from your honest and interesting presentations about your sweet children, but can just imagine the amount of time you had to spend to produce this concise episode. It is very appreciated!
I just think Liam so sooooo cute!!!!
Me too!!! 😛
How is Liam today? How are you?
My 2 year old son does the EXACT same things as Liam. He likes to hold car keys in his hand and walk around with them. My son has his next doctor's appointment very soon....definitely going to get him evaluated, This video actually helped me. Thank you!
💟 *LIAM* lol head bump.. *giggle* *SUPER* *CUTE* 💟💜💟
He is sooo cute🤩very sweet boy no matter what👨🦰
This my 20 month old completely. He also has a baby sister that is 5 months old and doesn’t ever acknowledge her at all, which makes me so sad because I thought they would be best friends. My son hasn’t been evaluated yet but I am in the process of getting it set up
Have you given him the mmr vaccine?
@@bxs4122 there vaccinations arnt any reasons for any of this we are bot like it not made like it buy a needle
that was intresting to watch I was wondering what some of the things such a young child on the spectrum does
Liam is super cute. That red hair is 😍. I know I keep saying this but he reminds me so much of our Luke. It's great that he's saying words already; Luke was well over two when he said his first words. 🥰
My son is two years old now and not say a single world. Same like Liam now... so will my son talk or no chance..
So much love! You are doing such a good job
This was so so helpful. My 2 year old has been going thru an evaluation for the past month to see weather or not they are going to diagnose him. They come to my home everyday to work with him and study him. November 4th we have a meeting to go over everything and see what our next steps are going to be. He does of the same things as your son does. Except he makes good eye contact and he watches people’s lips when they are talking.
How is your son now
@@carmenliemegne5224 he was diagnosed with level 2-3 autism. He’s currently in an autism preschool program. His twin was also diagnosed with autism. He’s level 1-2 though. They start kindergarten in August. They’re doing a lot better now. Thankful for all the programs my city offers
@@cheyenneestrada3650 glad they are doing well
I can see how he is autistic! Everyone saying he’s seems normal..your not his mom and I think she know her own child!
Liam is so adorable! 😍
Thank you for helping other moms!
I didn't have hardly any help but a couple of books and papers, like Eating an Artichoke--that book described my high functioning Asperger's boy to a tee! It really helped me get the help I needed for him to get him diagnosed and treated!
I have a 7 year old boy with moderate to severe autism. He didn’t get diagnosed until age 6. Started the process at age five but it takes forever due to lack of services in my area. Anyway, looking back I wish that I was educated about Autism because he was showing signs at 6 months! He is my only child and I didn’t know anything about Autism and so I just kept telling myself that he would catch up. It wasn’t until someone on my Facebook friends list wrote a post about her sons journey that I said “OMG, she just described my son” Early intervention is key. Keep up the good work!
You had nothing to compare to and not a lot of help either, bless you.
Hi I see all this in my 19 month old son Liam I will be getting a second opinion from his doctor thank you so much for this
Thank you for sharing this video.
My son loves holding one specific item in his hand as well
He was diagnosed with autism at 22 months and i have been trying to find out why he holds that item all the time.
Great video Steph, extremely educational. Liam is adorable ❤️
This seems like typical toddler behavior, I think some people expect babies to walk around with brief cases & be little boss babies lol
Has he had a hair mineral test done? It will show the levels of heavy metals which plays a huge part in autism. If you catch it now you can reverse some of the side effects.
this is so interesting because I did not have full social skills until 6 or 7 years old so my speach delay was for a long time
Hey I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your child. Please give your child time to grow , let them be weird and do them. I will not let no doctor diagnose my child and tell me something wrong with them . That’s how they make money and keep jobs open . The government take our kids to create jobs. Omg mommies need to wake up.
You’re right. There’s nothing “wrong” about having autism
Rude.
Lol dumbest comment ever
So you will not help your kid to develop?
Parents who choose to ignore thier child with daily struggles them sleepless nights sensory meltdowns and then pretending there isn’t a issue are to blame when the child reaches adulthood and struggles with anxiety or just feeling differently to others around them! there’s plenty of help to let children on the spectrum live a great life regardless of how severe it affects a child but like I said when something don’t feel right it usually isn’t and people should not be treating autism or any mental health conditions like a taboo. And should do their best to make their lives easier and happier 👍🏻
You are a beautiful mom. Beautiful babies
I love his red hair! So cute
Liam is such a cutie. Love his little smile.
You’re such a great mom!!
Omg thank you for sharing a part of your life and teaching me more about ASD. My daughter does the EXACT behaviors/actions as your kiddo! Thank you for making me feel like I belong & giving me the courage to advocate for my limited vocal communications genius.❤
It feels like I just watched my own son . He's having his evaluation in a few weeks . He was sent to PT for delayed walking , He's in Speech and OT .
Try using toys as a lure to help walking.. and assist your son whilst walking.. he may be sensitive on his feet..
Does he toe walk? Use shoes on his feet to help aid his walking too.. however, if he shows signs of shoes being funny on his feet (ie, he tries to take them off) allow him to walk without them..
My partner and i, if we notice him toe walking, tell him to stomp his feet like an elephant..
How are you guys doing?
Firstly your little boy is adorable 😊 I've had a gut feeling our little boy has autism but I just keep getting hit with, it's his age its his craniosynostosis ect ect we are hoping to get more answers soon, he dose a lot of the things you have included in your video, thank you for making it.
Good luck to you, must be tough for you but you seem a great mum 🙂
Liam is just the cutest baby with his curly hair and sweet smiles ,God bless his soul 😍😘
I am sure my granddaughter has autism. I raised 5 children and I started noticing unusual things about her and now that she’s about 18 months. My daughter doesn’t agree with my thoughts and I understand & respect that. What matters is that we offer her what is needed in life. She’s perfect to me.
How’s your granddaughter now? Hope you’re all doing well
she doesnt let him do anythings...its like she wants him to b interested in her things....hes lesrning in his own ways... if he's not interester in your teachings doesnt mean his that
My friends baby did not talk until he was 3 yrs old. But now at 10 yrs he tutors other kids in his grade.
My son Was diagnosed with autism this week. I feel like I lost my little boy and I am dying from heatbreak. I can't cope.
I wish you are doing well. How is your baby now?
@@alim.hosseini4638 much, much better. Thank you for asking. He is doing great. He has social difficulties we are working on and many things he processes in other ways so you have to work around yhat, but overall he is a very bright, loving buddy who has an amazing memory and attention to details.
He will be just fine.
@@nela3986 Happy to hear that. God bless you and your baby.
@@alim.hosseini4638 thank you.😊
he looks like you... lovely boy and mom
Everyone saying he seems normal...i have 2 girls one with level 2 to 3 autism spectrum disorder and i believe a neurotypical 14 month old. If its ur child u just know...my 14 month old says mama and looks at me and loves other children she chases her big sis and hands me toys.. My4 year old isnt interested in other children with therapy she does listen to her name and has improved upon this amongst other things. She hit milestones on time physically but there are social milestones that u have to look for and my 14 month old is with my 4 year old hitting milestones. There is just a differnce a parent knows. My 14 month old shakes her head but yet everyone has a stim either way. Aba will not harm a neurotypical child it will only help so.even if ur child is neurotypical aba will do no harm and may even help them hit milestones ahead of time.
Yeah I have yet to have one specialist, doctor, or therapist to spend adequate time with Liam and NOT think he's on the spectrum (and that's 3 doctors, 10+ therapists, and 2 specialists). I know it scares others because Liam in these short clips "appears" like a typical toddler but that's the point of this. A toddler can seem like he's just a typical child but have specific things that if you don't know what to look for. I missed these signs. I was an autism mom and I STILL missed these signs in Autism. This video is to help educate and give real life footage, not to argue my son's diagnosis that has been confirmed through so many assessments and tests.
To see his baby sister as a human and not a random object 😂💙
he's much better now!!!
@@OurLANDingCrew8 hi ma'am. Really use ful video . How he is now?
Tfs, my son had many of these signs as a baby/toddler and even still now as a teen. Liam is too cute 💙
My daughter does something similar with looking at her feet when walking. Shes mostly grown out of it now that shes 5. She also always would run and watch her shadow instead of where she was going. And she has always been bad with like ride ons and bikes with moving around, watching where shes going, turning. Idk if its autism or not, but compared to her seemingly NT sister who's 18 months it seems odd, our 18 month old does ride ons like a boss.
Thank you for sharing
thank you for sharing this!!
Liam is soo adorable!! 😍😍
Sweet Liam has my heart!! He reminds me so much of my 4 year old nonverbal autistic son. So many similar things! Love your channel, love that you are shedding light on Autism.
My son is 4 yr old an still can not talk he has a sencory problem too he also aint potty trained
Thank you so much for making this video and putting yourself out there. It is incredibly informational and helped me visual some symptoms of autism. It also validated my concerns of my son being autistic. He got an official diagnosis yesterday. I feel inadequate to help him right now but I having the diagnosis means we can get started on the work to help him.
I used Dr Oyalo herbs for my son and now my son is completely free, his speaking and behavior is ok. His herbs is 100% working on speech delay and ASD.
Prayers are with a child or adult that are on the spectrum.My son is almost 40 & only got diagnosed at 30& no1 really were sure about it.He has Aspergers.I want SOOO badly to have him have social fun
It just seem to be non existent. He has a main friend,only real close friend.....me.And I have Lupus plus other debilitating illnesses.My daughter took us in when my husband left for younger woman 10 yrs.ago.He was mean a lot.Has bipolar 1 but won't take meds....so he is way out of picture because of his treatment. I think pretty common of that era which was be a man,don't look weak, get over it,deal with it.I had the key to turn to get into my son's world,but there is change every day.With touretts,rheum.arthritis&schizophrenia, bad irritable bowel,he sees 4 Drs.i want people to tactically help now so their child at 40 has 1 real friend.the key into My son was noticing I have it also.Thank you for you getting info.out to people,so people just won't just ignore what they don't understand and love these people because they are way more sensed into reality than others,sweeter,kinder people.Have HOPE every day and just do what u can in there world to make them know how wonderful they are.
Should of read DON'T just have 1 friend at 40.
My kid is 2 1/2 years old and Wont Walk or crawl or talk. Hes just not interested in anything.
Hugs mama
Just found your channel & so glad I did! We just started our journey with my developmentally delayed daughter. She’s 14m old and has almost every single one of these signs. She does show a tad more “typical” affection than Liam does here, but only when SHE wants to lol. Otherwise it’s a tantrum if we initiate the affection. & She too has the oral fixation, hardcore. I’m not able to really show or teach her anything bc it all goes straight to her mouth to be chewed on. She loves carrying around random objects (right now it’s lotion bottles) and will walk and walk and walk all around the house with it. I recognized all these signs at about 11-12m because my nephew is autistic, so I made an appt with a neurologist who prescribed Speech, OT & ABA which we start next Tuesday!
Now I’m going to go continue binge watching your videos lol 😆❤️
i also have a 13 year old grandson he is autistic but verbal he is aspergers his two year old sister is currently being tested for autism but she non verbal hasn't spoken a word not even moma dada nothing and does some things in this post thanks it was very helpful and informative i will send to my daughter so she can help dr to make a proper diagnosis
I had that problem where my speech was delayed. I didn't respond to my parents and their commands. I really was off in my own world, but I had an underlying issue. I had tonsillitis a lot and ear infections. Of course that would hurt so when I got tubes in my ears and my tonsils taken out, that did the job. There's video of me barely even talking to 6 months later singing preschool songs and my ABC's as a 3 year old.
Keep up the goodwork helping families to cope up with the problem and make life easier for the children suffering from this problem. May our lord jesus christ bless you and your family spiritually and physically Amen.👍 10:16 10:16
Does Liam like to wear his socks? Or does he take them off straight away when you put them on?
This is my 3 year old all over. Very informative video
You are a Rockstar Mum!
Do any autistic toddlers (20 months) make excellent eye contact? Cause my toddler does some of these signs but makes very good eye contact
Some do. And some might appear to have eye contact but once you get closer you realize they're looking at your nose or mouth. Or they might have brief eye contact. A toddler can have some of these signs and not have autism but having good eye contact doesn't mean they don't. Liam has decent eye contact, not great but not horrible.
Hi stephanie, my son is asd. He just turned 3. His red flags were nearly all identical to liams. I always felt liam reminds me of my son. My son always needed sensory input. He used to jump a lot, inverted feet by w sitting, he put everything in his mouth. His receptive lamguage was soooo far behind. he didnt acknowledge other kids let alone babies. He didnt look up at us. He was very much in his own world. And never had any words let alone functional words. I want to give you huge hope as my son has improved so much and these are the things we did and are still doing. Firstly for his receptive language, aba will be perfect for that in particular. I too trained to learn the aba techniques with the consultant so i can do a lot of the techniques myself. I would take him to each activity i want him to learn and say 'do this' ..only use those words and then i would do the activity....so that he can learn that I am asking him for a request. Once he learns to do it both his imitation skills improve and his understanding. You then do other simple demands and again keep showing him what the demand is and requesting him to do it aswell. Each time reinforcing with a little treat. I usually give crisps -small pieces or whatever he likes.
With the eye contact i initially started with the ipad. I would put on his favorite nursery songs. After 10 seconds i would stop the clip. Call him name. The second he looks i say 'good looking' while pointing at my eye...and then press play on the clip again. Do that as much as u can until he understands when you say 'liam look' ...that means u expect him to look at u. Move that onto treats aswell. Everytime he wants a treat try to get him to look. With my son...once he learned to look at me ,(he was improving with us at this point) we then would want him to hold the stare into the eyes for 2 seconds rather than 1. Then 3 seconds. Im currently at 5 seconds and generally his eye contact has improved so much. I think he looks at me everytime i call him
In terms of the sensory, we still struggle with that a bit. But what has helped is being on top of it. Which will be hard as u have a lot of other responsibilities. But for a few weeks you can try these techniques: everytime he is jumping direct him to the trampoline. To teach him that he can do it there. Also body weights. Hes clearly seeking. Gets everything weighted. Blakets. Ankle weights. Anything. Also tight clothes lol. Iv heard keep them in thicker and tighter clothes they like it. My son still tries to put everything in his mouth. We tried chewy tube. He does like it but hes obsessed with stones which are dangerous. He would put them in his mouth even at nursery. And i was always scared he will choke on one. So i made him necklaces with stones on them. Stones he likes. But at least he cant accidently swallow. Also i give him an electic tooth brush daily. This has all rly helped get this need out of hos system.
Label everything. Hold his eye contact before e.g blowing the bubble.
In terms of having him acknowledge his siblings. I bought my son a toy dolly. I let him chose one at the store so i know he likes it. I bring this baby doll with him around the house. When i feed him i put the doll next to him and feed the doll after i give him a spoonful. So he learns to share food with the doll. Then i take his hand and taught him to feed the baby doll aswell. This all helps with pretend play which u might find does not exist in his behaviour. It didnt with my son. Then when i change his clothes i also change the dolls clothes. I hug the doll and teach him to hug the doll. Then i eventually introduced his baby cousin to him and the other day he cake and kissed and hugged his cousin!!! You can maybe use Penelope in this technique rather than a doll but you really want the doll so he can hold it how he likes lol.
Theres so much more i have to share if you would like let me know. My son is now 3 and doing really well. We are a family with 2 kids, living in the uk. His sister is typical and he is asd, we are from iraq originally so initially we spoke both english and arabic. But we are now only speaking english at home and keeping all talking around him in 1 to 2 words to keep it simple. I wish you all the best xxx
My god that is a long post from me sorry. 🤣
This is so much information... thanks for this post .... god bless ... i ll try this eye contact method for sure .... i m so direction less like what to do to improve him because he is not into therapies yet ... it take so long here in Canada to get help ... so glad that people like you share there experience..
God bless u
@@harpreetkaur-oc3yy no problem harpreet! Do try finding aba therapy. Here in the uk I have to pay for it myself. But maybe in canada its different. Regular therapy is good too. Try to involve your child in your daily routine as much as possible. And get as much help as you can. Autism is a set back but its not the end at all! There is a lot of hope and these kids are super clever. We need to just help them achieve their potential. Be positive and strive for you son and it will get better for sure !
I also want know if your son have or had sleep issues? My son wake up in middle of the night and than doesn't sleep for 2-3 hours .... what can i do for that?
Girl. This was amazing!! Thank you so much ❤️
Great information. And another great video. Some of the signs he has and Noah has an Lex has they all remand me of stuff I had and did as a kid..... I had childhood ADHD and have it still in Adult form. But my family esp on my dad's side always had it . starting with his dad then at 72 my dad was ofically diagnosed as having it. Even though he thought and still thinks he has Astburgers. I think I might have and alaways had that too. But don't know yet for sure. And would to be reevaluated to see if I really have that. My dad too. And esp now since its considered part of the Autism spectrum
ADHD has a spectrum too from what I last heard. And even though ADD doesn't exist any more and it's all just straight ADHD. The quiet non hyper active destructive disruptive ones. Just are hyper active more quietly. Like tapping a pencil finger or foot rapid my or doodling all the time. I know alot about ADHD. I have books on it and try to study about it and keep up about all the time. And want to find a channel on TH-cam that talks about it more and gives current up to date info. Or we could share stuff in this coumminity about it. I don't have money to be on pateron or by March but if I did and could I would support you guys hands down. Because you guys are so open and honest and keep things real. As real as they can be for a channel on you tube. Speaking about ADHD and it's spectrum again and I will finish and let everyone get on with there busy and hopefully good day. The last I heard. That there are different types of ADHD and how they affect ppl differently more then just ppl are different. There are certain different types that affect the brain in different areas that happen so much they are put into these distinct types. And they can tell which type you have by doing a brain scan and which are ether light up or darken depend ing on what type you have. And I think they can better talior fit. Meds and threapy and all treatments to better fit each person on what type they have. And I find that fascinating. It used to be every hyper kid had ADHD and that was just it and you take meds for it and that's that. Iam so glad it like other things in the brain and body are being studied more now and better understood and more ways of treating things are being given and are proven to work now. So meds and over diagnosing are not the only solution anymore or just meds will fix everything approach is being changed when meds are need yes use meds. I use a few and the help alot. But use threapy s exercise diet and life style changes and meds are some magic thing that you can take forever and the cure all and every is maticly cured. No meds are excellent tools to help use and are vitaly needed sometimes but are just tool . And as ppl are selves and. As ppl who are parents of children with unique gifts to give to this world. I like that better than saying disorder or sydrom or disease. It just sounds better and more positive to me. And still is real. Parents and other adults who work with kids with these gifts. They have to work harder and the kids them selves have to work harder too. Just to get the world out there that we are ok good ppl and have a right to be here and we can do things just in a different way and maybe not as much as others and we are all valuable. And fight stigma s andppls ignorance and ops mis conception s about us and things. And not ppl with bad atttudies and stuff make us feel bad about are selves we are good ppl and not stupid ppl ruin our day or influence us into having bad attitudes and not treating ppl fairly or kindly. Don't let hates get you down iam trying to say. And in my family besides my dad who is 80 who has ADHD there's me 40 who has it then my nephew who is 8 who has it too. And on my late mothers side of her family tree all different cousins in different family's all who were realeted to her and my uncle now by blood all have too. So yeah is command in my genetics like depression and city and physical stuff to. If you can't tell. Iam really into biology and genealogy of my family's history and stuff and many other things. Iam trying to lead by example for my nephew and niece. For my nephewit is to take care of my self and my needs and to be healthier in all ways. I can explain all I want. But kids learn from there parents family members and other trusted adults more by seeing doing observing experiencing than by explaining most of the time. My mom and dad did the best they could forme and my sister growing up. Now my sister is a super mom and I didn't think it was possible but she's doing more and being better at it then even my own mom was my bro in law too. I just remembered a lot of love growing up and aceptance and being free to have an open mind and heart. That's what my sis and bro in law are doing with the kids. And you and Lonnie Sr , Stephanie you guys are doing that with your kids. The world needs more super parents like you. Don't let haters who don't understand you guys or your life get you down. And don't worry even though iam a weird quirky cat mom person. I am not scary. I do not want your home address. Or to know where exactly guys live. Iam so not into that or looking that stuff up or Dozing. That stuff is just straight plain up evil and wrong. I know there a lot of weird scary ppl out there I've dealt with a few in my past. Who scared the poopy out of me. Iam so glad I moved now. And I defently don't want weird scary ppl knowing my home daddy or where I exactly live. I feel for others too. Esp you tube stars and ppl who are stars to me with channels like yours. And knowing I just feel icky and Beebe hereby creep out if I think about any strange ppl knowing my daddy and where I live. I feel it must be like that for you guys but worst. I do things to keep my self safe and I took self defense and aware Ness classes in high school and after to take care of myself. Iam so glad you guys do have ways to keep ourselves safe and secure. You guys do what you do to keep. Staying safe and I'll keep doing stuff to still keep my self safe. God this message is alot. But I had lots of good things to say and I I know the last main theme of my message seemed odd. I wasn't trying to be. I don't have good social skills. But I in my weird stupid way wanted to let you I wouldn't be a problem for you. Yes I like seeing your channel and videos and want to be part of this online couunmmity here though. You guys are ppl and a family just like everyone else. And deserve your privacy and don't owe any fan anything. And I support you guys doing TH-cam and other online channels to support yourselves. But if you guys ever need to walk away from TH-cam and online s stuff. Because it's better for you guys and your family to-do so. Do it. You don't need mine or any other fans permission to do what you guys need! To do. And if ppl give you grief and hate and poop about stuff. It's all on them and they can go be miserable somewhere else. You guys are good and you rock. Have a great evening or night. Stay awesome and take care
I don't want to diagnosed but that's exactly how my baby behave
Hi, Thanks for the video. My 21 month old boy has the same symptom as Liam. We are waiting for the ASD test. I was wondering if you can share the improvement after the therapy ..... What is the percentage of recovery.......
Autism isn't a disease a child "recovers" from, it's lifelong and apart of who they are. Therapies can help with certain aspects like communication, fine motor, gross motor, sensory, social skills, etc. For us, we have seen a tiny bit improvement in receptive skills and engagement.
Love your make up and that lipstick looks nice on you lady
My grandson is level 3 and is non verbal. Trying to any information I can to help him
