@magistersolis.3750 learning at a different pace has nothing to with the world catering to the needs of a child. Once the child is at a certain age, teaching boundaries and how to take care of their own needs is a natural part of parenting.

Same. I was diagnosed at a young age with asperger syndrome and I remembered getting yelled at for experimenting with simple things like putting on lip gloss or going through my mom's makeup bag simply because I was curious. It gave me really bad trust issues to the point that I'm still very awkward with strangers and even relatives.
The caring aspect I understand, but tearing the book stressed me a bit at first. I consider myself open minded and I understand that he enjoys books that way. Personally, I prefer books bound since the binding keeps all the pages in one place and I don't have to worry about reassembling them, but this is also a children's picture book and I'm not Harrison. It's his book. I am also an autistic adult

As an autistic teen im so happy to see parents of autistic kids actually tend to their wants and needs rather than use them for attention or fully ignore their needs....
Seeing parents do the smallest things like this for their kids with ASD makes my heart so unbelievably happy (this is coming from someone who works as a behavioral tech, I just love seeing people do things like this for their kiddos) 💜
As soon as I saw this I thought “is he autistic” They experience the world differently and they’re not hurting anyone so yeah let him have his fun and support him ❤
yes seriously, ofc she didnt know i was autistic at the time she was still amazing regardless as she also had undiagnosed autism so she kinda got me like that but when i was little if my mom woulda just did some extra things like this it wouldve made life so much easier for me and when i was more younger i thought well if she did maybe i wouldve been a softie but now that i am older at 18 i realized im always gonna be a “softy” and that the world isnt built for “softys” aka autistics but that doesnt mean i cant still be accommodated to when anyone feels caring enough to. we only make kids and adults even “suck it up and deal with it to be strong” for the other people in society who did that although we don’t necessarily have to continue that cycle and can listen to peoples feelings more as it should be we are humans we run off of feelings and emotions lol all you gotta do is make sure they understand that there are people who dont care about your feelings which is scary but think about whats gonna make you happiest in the end whether its conform to that person or be your own person which can both be acceptable as long as its what makes you happier
@@TheMassOverride to give a bit of context, educators and teachers are oftentimes told of any kind of behaviors (such as that) which would then be noted and they would make accommodations for the kiddo. The parents could either brings books from home that are pre-cut for them or the teacher would allow access to specific books that they’re okay with having taken apart. Teachers and caretakers provide accommodations when they can 😊
It’s okay as long as he doesn’t do it to books he doesn’t fully own (much) later in life. But for now, it’s a great way to understand and accept his autism. Thank you for being a great parent.
@@KhmerRestoration They definitely do, tho I believe as of right now, they don't take him to libraries very often because of the confusions it can bring when you're trying to explain that to an autistic kid. But they educate him on borrowed items :))

As a special education teacher focusing on literacy with low speaking kids (as you rightfully mention communication isn't just speaking), it's so so important to meet kids where they are and how they learn best, rather than insisting they do it your way or the 'normal' way. I'm sure as the adult in his life *you* can be the one making sure that the books he gets unsupervised access to are ones he can tear up. I work with parents all the time about these sorts of things and there are so many ways to accommodate and support a kid like yours *because* you have learned to celebrate your kid and his brain. You are building a resilient, happy kid. I mean LOOK at those happy wiggles at the end. 🥰
I'm always so confused when people avoid saying nonverbal. I understand if you mean _mostly_ not speaking instead of entirely not speaking here, but this isn't the only time I've seen people seem to avoid the word nonverbal. And usually it is paired with something like what you said, communication is much more than spoken word. But... nonverbal was "verb" in the middle which generally means word, from Latin... so "nonverbal" denotes not speaking words? I personally am autistic and I've always felt perfectly comfortable with the word nonverbal; I believe it describes itself perfectly. If you do avoid using it when it's appropriate, would you mind telling me why?
Non verbal is not always a permanent stage. My eldest son was non verbal until around the age of four, then he gained speech skills in slow stages. He’s now a very verbal man. I, as his mother, am proud of all he has achieved so far, his skills and his knowledge.
@DreamtaleEnjoyer Non verbal and non speaking are considered two separate diagnoses in current special education pedagogy. For example, my kids who use AAC devices have verbal language even if they do not speak, as they still understand and use spoken language even though they do not physically speak. Verbal language is more then the ability to physically speak, and not all non speaking people are non verbal, though all non verbal people are by definition non speaking. It also separates language and communication skills from the act of speaking, which in my experience allows for more individual care, as it's unreasonable to prioritize spoken communication in all cases and for all students.
@LoriCiani There are so many reasons a person may be slow or hesitant to speak. I'm glad your kid was able to grow into it! I have anxiety triggered mutism so I relate to this, both because I've become a chatterbox and because it was hard for me.
"As long as its not ___" or "As long as you bought it" No shit Sherlock, she isn't that damn dumb, she bought the books and owns them. Yall don't need to CONSTANTLY say that, actin like someone is dumb enough to do this to a book she doesn't own
This makes me so happy as a person who is neurodivergent it’s refreshing to see parents taking care of their kids without shaming them for not being “normal”
As someone who had to adjust to be verbal, hearing that you let him tell you things non verbally instead of just saying “use your words” has me in tears, bless you 💜🙏
@@picipolo988 Probably, none of our business. If OP wants to cry about developing an important adaptation, let OP cry about it. There is the concept of "survival of the fittest" (most adapted). That's why there's a focus to encourage speaking in autistic people, but I think OP may not have realised that.
The cutting books for him is an awesome thing, but maybe the ripping them himself may turn out to be bad if he rips someone else’s book or a library book. But good job with understanding your child’s feelings you seem like a great parent
Realistically they probably just don't get library books. Also my niece is similar, rips books and loves to look at them like that. I was worried inviting her over to my house because I'm a book fanatic, I gave her one to look at that I didn't care about and said I would be really sad if she ripped by book and she has never ripped my books so that is nice.
or just maybe he doesnt borrow other people's books to read or library books because he have a habbit of ripping books apart, and his parents simply buying books for the boy to read the way he wants to without people judging or criticising or telling him/the family how things should be done...
this can equally teach ownership and sharing, though - teaching distinguishing on where release can be applied (his own books) and when its better to hold back for other people sakes etc. obviously this will depend on the individual childrens' autistic traits, but still!
Seriously, sometimes I am amazed at what people get upset about. Seriously, as long as he is not doing it with other people’s books it is fine. Also he is so cute fr 🥰
It's stupid to get angry about too. I'd rather deconstruct it nicely like this than have it be ripped apart, which would have been it's fate otherwise.
That’s the key point. Along with this needs to go teaching about how this is okay *because the book is his*. That’s a potential problem if it isn’t taught well in advance.
You’re such a wonderful parent for your son, and really for so many others with autism who like to process books the same way as your son. People seem to forget that most things in the world are set up for those who are neurotypical, so those of us who are neurodivergent have to figure out how we best process our experiences. For your son and books, it’s deconstructing them. And that’s perfectly fine! It’s your book, you do what’s best for your son and your family!
That's a want, not a need. People don't NEED to have everything in life exactly the way they prefer. It's probably good if we don't raise children to think wants are needs. Tear away a book you own, but that's not a need.
@@alexdalex3582 calm down, man, it's a toddler. i see where you're coming from, but i disagree. i know nothing about autism, but i know about toddlers, and they get upset if things can't be their way. if kids get upset about things that are easy to fix with some help, then it's fine to give them that help. toddlers are tough, so it's best to just help them with that stuff.
@@alexdalex3582You clearly do not understand autism. Secondly, I have OCD, I need things to be a certain way or it triggers my anxiety. Which could, and most likely will lead to a panic attack. It’s not as simple as going to a dating app, and having a want/preference that someone be a certain height. Or wanting a dog for Christmas. It’s a condition/ability/disability/disorder. Everyone’s different, it’s a not a two sided street that people exist on. Please try harder in the future. 💗
As a person with autism. We all have our own needs, my take on this is it’s fine as long as it’s not someone else’s book or a library book. It’s great that he can express what he needs. (Edit) I hate to be that guy but OMG THIS IS THE MOST LIKES IVE EVER GOTTEN THANK YOU ALL.
I agree, but if he does have autism, they need to teach him that he can only take apart certain books and not the ones that belong to his parents or the ones at other people's houses or he library.
I simultaneously feel sad for the book (I'm a book repair librarian) but also have a cousin on the autism spectrum and am proud that Harrison was able to communicate what he needed.
He can also learn how to put things in order which is an important developmental skill. I love how you adapt to your childs needs. I used to be a early childhood educator and had a few special needs students and so many of those parents expected thier child to adapt to the norm instead of adapting themselves to help thier child. Its just so refreshing to see.
Good idea since do teach that at school where have sort through the story amd find the start, middle and end of the story and label them 1-5. Remember it well 😄
What you are doing is essentially rebinding the book (changing binding in order to preserve or enjoy the book differently). The book is still intact and usable. It’s not ruining to rebind the book. As long as he knows not to do this to library books/books that belong to others, he can do whatever makes him happy with his books!
This is just so beautiful to see, and hear my friend. I love this. He looks so happy, and who said he has to read them like everyone else. What a smart, loving, and understanding parent. This is wonderful... Love AMY
This is actually really sweet! It's good that you're accomodating what your child wants. Ripping apart a book isn't particularly harmful, so there's no need to discourage the behaviour.
Destroying stuff isn't harmful??? What's to stop that kid from destroying books in school or libraries? Would you be ok with having to replace what your kid destroyed????
@@rhondasherrill8788clearly theyre gonna teach their fucking kid to not rip up library books. Just you were a little hellion as a child doesnt mean he'll be lol
@@rhondasherrill8788 let me show you what I said "particularly harmful" Did you note that first word there? It's better the kid teqrs apart a book than breaks something else or hurts themself. Breaking it might be something that helps the kid regulate there emotions. Whenever I get stressed, I break pencils, would you rather I lash out at others and get angry? Hit myself?
@@doodleplayer4014 did I say anything about hitting yourself or anyone else??? No I did not. I said what's to stop that kid from thinking he can destroy ANY book he sees because he has autism and that's how he regulates..... Using autism and destructive behavior as a crutch to not have to actually parent your kid is really sad. If you can't handle kids... DONT HAVE THEM
It might be nice to punch a hole through the top corner of each page so you could bind them together with like string or something, so you could still just take it apart but also store it easily
This is an amazing way to help him enjoy his books without accidentally destroying them. I can imagine he might accidentally ruin pages sometimes while pulling them apart. Doing it a little more carefully gets him what he needs. He looked so happy in the last part of the video. 😊
As an autistic child (6-8)reading grade 6 books, i wish i was able to do that for myself. I was never able to, because they were library books and no one really would even accept someone of my age doing that. People wouldve told me to "act how smart i am." That boy is so lucky to have a parent like you. You seem like the type to defend him from people who discriminate, thank you for treating this child right!!
Kid!! Get off TH-cam!.. also, yeah.. actually, should not be allowed to do that with library books, they're for the public. They need to be in proper condition. You can do that with books you own though.
As some who grew up mentally challenged and in a strict household I love it when parent accept their child is not a normal person and they adapt and let them thrive
As someone with autism who's been told "act normal", "you're overreacting", "don't be a drama queen" all my life, thank you Thank you for all you do for this child This makes me happy in a way I've never been before You restored my faith in humanity
That is wonderful. Both that he can communicate what he needs, and you accept. Seeing him joyfully running along his book, it’s obvious you did the right thing. 💖
Keep doing what you're doing. Listening to your child and encouraging learning, no matter whether it's conventional or not, is what matters. I love a parent that truly hears their children.
It’s also really cool that he can kinda write his own version of the book over and over again. It’s also just amazing in general that you let Harrison do Harrison’s way. That’s so validating
I applaud u for letting ur child express himself how he does. I have a nephew that has Asperger's Syndrome. So i totally understand that they learn and explore different than other children. Ur a loving caring devoted Mother keep doing what u think is right and ignore the ignorant ppl. 😊
Just so you know aspergers is no longer a recognized diagnosis, the name actually come from hans asperger, a literal nazi scientist. Instead often when people say 'aspergers' they mean an autistic person who is some combination of high masking and having low support needs
hey just letting you know that asperger's does not exist anymore and is not a good term to use, asperger's actually is autism but obviously was removed as a diagnosis, and now patients are diagnosed with autism. it's not a good word to use for many reasons, the main one being it was a term created by a nazi doctor that ultimately separated and decided which autistic people were "better" and would not be killed. i'm a diagnosed autistic myself btw so no hate to you ❤️
Hey, I'm not trying to be rude, but aspergers is no longer a diagnostic term, and even if it was, it isn't a syndrome. The term in recent years has been called Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thank you - an autistic person who was belittled using misdiagnosed terms
This makes me so incredibly happy to see as someone on the spectrum. Keep doing an amazing job, mom, you're doing a great service to your son and the rest of the community with videos like this one.
Hi! I came across your videos of deconstructing the books a while back, and didn't think much of it. In fact, I was a bit agitated (for some odd reason) that you were cutting up a perfectly fine book. But when I heard your explanation about how it helps your son, it gave me a really interesting realization. I've always enjoyed things messy, or what others who don't know me might call "unconventional". Not only did this pique my interest to keep on watching, it made me want to do it for myself. I'm working on a research paper. While I won't be taking apart an academic book, I have been ripping apart papers and stapling them. I've also been using glue and masking tape just to give it some "messy" look. It's oddly calming, and I'm now more motivated to actually work! Thank you for this, it really shows how it's different strokes for different folks.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! As a teacher, I can see so much value in this! He is learning sequencing as well as truly appreciating the artwork in the book by displaying it! Most importantly, he is just experiencing pure joy! I have taken apart books before and let each students work in partners with a page and write what was happening in the story at that point. You are amazing! Love how you are so tuned in to him and he is so comfortable expressing to you what he wants/needs!
Thank you so much. My 4 year old who's on the spectrum does the same thing and it's extremely stressful trying to get my family to be any form of understanding. This was like watching a hug, thank you ❤
As someone who is high functioning on the autism scale, I respect your ability and willingness to see thing how your child does. My mother didn't, in fact she actively hid from everyone including myself that I was autistic. In the end I was abused by people who thought I was just looking for attention whenever I had issues. I would go to school and be beaten on at least a weekly basis because I was different. I didn't have friends, and struggled to read and talk. I still struggle to read, but my talking has gotten better. My family used to ostracize for "not being man enough" and nothing I've ever done has been good enough for them. I didn't find out about being on the scale until 8 months ago. It was like realizing my whole life was a lie. That I wasn't struggling because I was stupid, I just needed help. Help that not one person in my whole life ever even thought of offering me.
In one of her other videos, she said Harrison has trouble differentiating between what books are his and what books aren't. Those comments are no where near insulting, they're realistic. I've volunteered at libraries and you'd be surprised at how many parents just let their kids destroy and color on books, yet expect the library take them back. Those "as long as you bought the books yourself, it's cool" comments aren't coming from bad faith, it's just the knowledge that there are some people out there who borrow library books just to return them in bad conditions. This mother is a great parent for helping her son with his autism and helping him use it to navigate life.
It would be even better if you had 2 copies for some books so he can line the whole book all up at once. It's awesome to see you accepting him the way he wants to see things, and Im glad you listen to what he's requesting even without words.❤
I like how you making these videos about your autism son because I also have autism people really don't understand me and it makes it difficult to communicate sometimes 😭 and when I was an in-person school I got bullied a lot for my autism but now I'm homeschooled everyone thinks it's cool and they hang out with me and they're starting to understand me more thank you so much for making these videos❤🎉😊
Why do people care so much about what you do with your property? I love books and I could never do that to my book, but that's your book, and therefore I do not care how you choose to enjoy it.
I raised 2 autistic kids and have an autistic grandson. I want to tell you what an amazing job you're doing❤️ This obviously happy child will be a happy adult cuz of you😊❤
He might not be able to see the full story, but if this makes him happy, then theres not a damn thing wrong with it. Its much more important that hes enjoying the book! Love and respect all.
people act like he has no awareness to learn to not do that to library books, as an autistic person, being seen as less smart for seeing things differently infuriates me
That's why you teach them "our property and their property" and if he does get to someone else's book for some reason. Then it's her job to buy new ones
I love that you actually accomidate your son! I see so many people with autistic kids and they SAY they accomidate but they actually don't. It's so nice to see someone who ACTUALLY does❤
The comments are so rude atp. "He should NOT do that to library books." Who said he would? He has a momma who takes care of him who teaches him right from wrong. Stop trying to parent strangers kids. I'm 100% she would know to teach her kid not to touch library books..plus this is all stuff she HERSELF. Has purchased. Very rude! Its like pointing out the obvious??
God bless you for honoring your kids needs. We need more parents like this to validate and accept their kids struggles, not put them down and have high expectations. ❤

It gave me really bad trust issues to the point that I'm still very awkward with strangers and even relatives.
Same, I was diagnosed with ADHD and was never taught what it was or how to deal with it, just to pop a pill and be normal.
You're such a beautiful mum for thinking out the box and putting his needs first.
As an atustic adult this melted my heart. The word needs more people like you.
The caring aspect I understand, but tearing the book stressed me a bit at first. I consider myself open minded and I understand that he enjoys books that way. Personally, I prefer books bound since the binding keeps all the pages in one place and I don't have to worry about reassembling them, but this is also a children's picture book and I'm not Harrison. It's his book. I am also an autistic adult

As an autistic teen im so happy to see parents of autistic kids actually tend to their wants and needs rather than use them for attention or fully ignore their needs....
Seeing parents do the smallest things like this for their kids with ASD makes my heart so unbelievably happy (this is coming from someone who works as a behavioral tech, I just love seeing people do things like this for their kiddos) 💜

They experience the world differently and they’re not hurting anyone so yeah let him have his fun and support him ❤
yes seriously, ofc she didnt know i was autistic at the time she was still amazing regardless as she also had undiagnosed autism so she kinda got me like that but when i was little if my mom woulda just did some extra things like this it wouldve made life so much easier for me and when i was more younger i thought well if she did maybe i wouldve been a softie but now that i am older at 18 i realized im always gonna be a “softy” and that the world isnt built for “softys” aka autistics but that doesnt mean i cant still be accommodated to when anyone feels caring enough to. we only make kids and adults even “suck it up and deal with it to be strong” for the other people in society who did that although we don’t necessarily have to continue that cycle and can listen to peoples feelings more as it should be we are humans we run off of feelings and emotions lol all you gotta do is make sure they understand that there are people who dont care about your feelings which is scary but think about whats gonna make you happiest in the end whether its conform to that person or be your own person which can both be acceptable as long as its what makes you happier
K but if he goes to school and starts ripping up books then you're liable
@@TheMassOverride to give a bit of context, educators and teachers are oftentimes told of any kind of behaviors (such as that) which would then be noted and they would make accommodations for the kiddo. The parents could either brings books from home that are pre-cut for them or the teacher would allow access to specific books that they’re okay with having taken apart. Teachers and caretakers provide accommodations when they can 😊

@@Scarlet.Octopi Yeah everyone has their own way that they like to read, Watch tv, etc. Personally I like to read in bed and I don’t like too much background noise bc it doesn’t let me get such an immersive experience but it’s different for everyone and for him he just likes to lay it out and look at it, and that’s fine!
As a special education teacher focusing on literacy with low speaking kids (as you rightfully mention communication isn't just speaking), it's so so important to meet kids where they are and how they learn best, rather than insisting they do it your way or the 'normal' way. I'm sure as the adult in his life *you* can be the one making sure that the books he gets unsupervised access to are ones he can tear up. I work with parents all the time about these sorts of things and there are so many ways to accommodate and support a kid like yours *because* you have learned to celebrate your kid and his brain. You are building a resilient, happy kid. I mean LOOK at those happy wiggles at the end. 🥰
I'm always so confused when people avoid saying nonverbal. I understand if you mean _mostly_ not speaking instead of entirely not speaking here, but this isn't the only time I've seen people seem to avoid the word nonverbal. And usually it is paired with something like what you said, communication is much more than spoken word.
But... nonverbal was "verb" in the middle which generally means word, from Latin... so "nonverbal" denotes not speaking words? I personally am autistic and I've always felt perfectly comfortable with the word nonverbal; I believe it describes itself perfectly. If you do avoid using it when it's appropriate, would you mind telling me why?
Non verbal is not always a permanent stage. My eldest son was non verbal until around the age of four, then he gained speech skills in slow stages. He’s now a very verbal man. I, as his mother, am proud of all he has achieved so far, his skills and his knowledge.
@DreamtaleEnjoyer Non verbal and non speaking are considered two separate diagnoses in current special education pedagogy. For example, my kids who use AAC devices have verbal language even if they do not speak, as they still understand and use spoken language even though they do not physically speak. Verbal language is more then the ability to physically speak, and not all non speaking people are non verbal, though all non verbal people are by definition non speaking. It also separates language and communication skills from the act of speaking, which in my experience allows for more individual care, as it's unreasonable to prioritize spoken communication in all cases and for all students.
@LoriCiani There are so many reasons a person may be slow or hesitant to speak. I'm glad your kid was able to grow into it!
I have anxiety triggered mutism so I relate to this, both because I've become a chatterbox and because it was hard for me.
@@ziizification Ohhh okay gotcha! That makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain ^^
"As long as its not ___" or "As long as you bought it"
No shit Sherlock, she isn't that damn dumb, she bought the books and owns them. Yall don't need to CONSTANTLY say that, actin like someone is dumb enough to do this to a book she doesn't own
My exact thoughts. Its more than obvious that she does this with HIS books.
They really think they did something by saying it too. It's just so they can still feel like they're criticizing someone.

was honestly surprised when i checked the comments and the top ones were exactly like that
Love the fact that you are attentive enough and focused on your son's specific view! 🥰
If you own it, it's yours... If it's yours, you can do with it what you want! As simple as that!
Thank you I’m glad that not only three people in the deep part of the common section actually agreed to this way
This makes so much sense and is a big reason why kids need to be able to own books. ❤

Realistically they probably just don't get library books.
Also my niece is similar, rips books and loves to look at them like that. I was worried inviting her over to my house because I'm a book fanatic, I gave her one to look at that I didn't care about and said I would be really sad if she ripped by book and she has never ripped my books so that is nice.
@@Ellie-vc5owthat's amazing
or just maybe he doesnt borrow other people's books to read or library books because he have a habbit of ripping books apart, and his parents simply buying books for the boy to read the way he wants to without people judging or criticising or telling him/the family how things should be done...
this can equally teach ownership and sharing, though - teaching distinguishing on where release can be applied (his own books) and when its better to hold back for other people sakes etc. obviously this will depend on the individual childrens' autistic traits, but still!
I was thinking about this, maybe it's important to redirect or explain somehow about boundaries

It's stupid to get angry about too. I'd rather deconstruct it nicely like this than have it be ripped apart, which would have been it's fate otherwise.
That’s the key point. Along with this needs to go teaching about how this is okay *because the book is his*. That’s a potential problem if it isn’t taught well in advance.
You’re such a wonderful parent for your son, and really for so many others with autism who like to process books the same way as your son. People seem to forget that most things in the world are set up for those who are neurotypical, so those of us who are neurodivergent have to figure out how we best process our experiences. For your son and books, it’s deconstructing them. And that’s perfectly fine! It’s your book, you do what’s best for your son and your family!

What you are doing is essentially rebinding the book (changing binding in order to preserve or enjoy the book differently). The book is still intact and usable. It’s not ruining to rebind the book. As long as he knows not to do this to library books/books that belong to others, he can do whatever makes him happy with his books!

This is actually really sweet! It's good that you're accomodating what your child wants. Ripping apart a book isn't particularly harmful, so there's no need to discourage the behaviour.

Did you note that first word there? It's better the kid teqrs apart a book than breaks something else or hurts themself. Breaking it might be something that helps the kid regulate there emotions.

@@doodleplayer4014 did I say anything about hitting yourself or anyone else??? No I did not.

This is real motherly love
I love that parents are matching their parenting style to their kids needs and not trying to force their kids to fit into how they parent!!
Yeah :DD
It might be nice to punch a hole through the top corner of each page so you could bind them together with like string or something, so you could still just take it apart but also store it easily
Binder rings could work wonders.
This is an amazing way to help him enjoy his books without accidentally destroying them. I can imagine he might accidentally ruin pages sometimes while pulling them apart. Doing it a little more carefully gets him what he needs. He looked so happy in the last part of the video. 😊

That is wonderful. Both that he can communicate what he needs, and you accept. Seeing him joyfully running along his book, it’s obvious you did the right thing. 💖
This is very helpful for young people who have autism (such as your son) and who need more assistance with such activities (reading, playing, etc)
As an autistic person I admire you for being so kind and accepting of your kid. I hope he grows up to be a happy and wonderful person.
Keep doing what you're doing. Listening to your child and encouraging learning, no matter whether it's conventional or not, is what matters. I love a parent that truly hears their children.
It’s also really cool that he can kinda write his own version of the book over and over again. It’s also just amazing in general that you let Harrison do Harrison’s way. That’s so validating
You’re a great mom. He looked so happy to see it all laid out. Kudos
I applaud u for letting ur child express himself how he does. I have a nephew that has Asperger's Syndrome. So i totally understand that they learn and explore different than other children. Ur a loving caring devoted Mother keep doing what u think is right and ignore the ignorant ppl. 😊
Just so you know aspergers is no longer a recognized diagnosis, the name actually come from hans asperger, a literal nazi scientist. Instead often when people say 'aspergers' they mean an autistic person who is some combination of high masking and having low support needs
hey just letting you know that asperger's does not exist anymore and is not a good term to use, asperger's actually is autism but obviously was removed as a diagnosis, and now patients are diagnosed with autism. it's not a good word to use for many reasons, the main one being it was a term created by a nazi doctor that ultimately separated and decided which autistic people were "better" and would not be killed. i'm a diagnosed autistic myself btw so no hate to you ❤️
Hey, I'm not trying to be rude, but aspergers is no longer a diagnostic term, and even if it was, it isn't a syndrome. The term in recent years has been called Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thank you - an autistic person who was belittled using misdiagnosed terms

Hi! I came across your videos of deconstructing the books a while back, and didn't think much of it. In fact, I was a bit agitated (for some odd reason) that you were cutting up a perfectly fine book.
But when I heard your explanation about how it helps your son, it gave me a really interesting realization. I've always enjoyed things messy, or what others who don't know me might call "unconventional".
Not only did this pique my interest to keep on watching, it made me want to do it for myself.
I'm working on a research paper. While I won't be taking apart an academic book, I have been ripping apart papers and stapling them. I've also been using glue and masking tape just to give it some "messy" look.
It's oddly calming, and I'm now more motivated to actually work!
Thank you for this, it really shows how it's different strokes for different folks.
ik hes having the time of his life reading books that way looks so fun
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! As a teacher, I can see so much value in this! He is learning sequencing as well as truly appreciating the artwork in the book by displaying it! Most importantly, he is just experiencing pure joy! I have taken apart books before and let each students work in partners with a page and write what was happening in the story at that point. You are amazing! Love how you are so tuned in to him and he is so comfortable expressing to you what he wants/needs!
As long as he can make the difference between his books and those that do not belong to him, i think it's perfectly fine.

As a Bookbinder, I‘m horrified what you did to the book.
But on the other hand it’s really amazing what you did for your child.
As someone who is high functioning on the autism scale, I respect your ability and willingness to see thing how your child does. My mother didn't, in fact she actively hid from everyone including myself that I was autistic. In the end I was abused by people who thought I was just looking for attention whenever I had issues. I would go to school and be beaten on at least a weekly basis because I was different. I didn't have friends, and struggled to read and talk. I still struggle to read, but my talking has gotten better. My family used to ostracize for "not being man enough" and nothing I've ever done has been good enough for them. I didn't find out about being on the scale until 8 months ago. It was like realizing my whole life was a lie. That I wasn't struggling because I was stupid, I just needed help. Help that not one person in my whole life ever even thought of offering me.
"As long as its not a library book"

fr i was expecting more positive comments to be top but then i was just met with that :(
In one of her other videos, she said Harrison has trouble differentiating between what books are his and what books aren't. Those comments are no where near insulting, they're realistic. I've volunteered at libraries and you'd be surprised at how many parents just let their kids destroy and color on books, yet expect the library take them back. Those "as long as you bought the books yourself, it's cool" comments aren't coming from bad faith, it's just the knowledge that there are some people out there who borrow library books just to return them in bad conditions.
This mother is a great parent for helping her son with his autism and helping him use it to navigate life.
Aww he’s so adorable, your a amazing parent. ❤
It would be even better if you had 2 copies for some books so he can line the whole book all up at once. It's awesome to see you accepting him the way he wants to see things, and Im glad you listen to what he's requesting even without words.❤

people act like he has no awareness to learn to not do that to library books, as an autistic person, being seen as less smart for seeing things differently infuriates me
its fine until the school calls ur child telling you he's ripping up books
is he doing that though or are you just making up scenarios to be annoyed about
