I have a seven year old neurotypical daughter, and a recently ASD diagnosed two year old daughter. This podcast was so lovely to hear. Spencer is a remarkable and well spoken young man. You have raised two beautiful sons Mary!
What a wonderful son you have! I love that he hasn’t been raised with the assumption that he would be his brothers caregiver. What an amazing mother you are you should be very proud.
Thanks Mary and Spencer. Great perspective and interview! Ben will enjoy watching. They are so similar in their stories. It's great for siblings to see and hear they're not alone.
I am a grandmother with a grandson with autism and I always wonder how his sister felt. They are 10 (sister) and 6. Right now it seems they are fine and can handle each other well. Thanks you for this episode. It puts my mind at ease. Spencer is awesome, you must be very proud of him. My granddaughter is as understanding as Spencer is. She is an amazing girl. Her brother is blessed to have her in his life.
Thanks for this episode. I have a younger sister who has Autism and we are only 20 months apart. I do think having a mother so vested in ABA was also a huge factor. I definitely resented mine at one point. She would drill into me that when she was gone I’d have to take care of my sister so I’d better learn how. I’d also be hit and my sister never was. I think that if a more positive approach was taken it would have been different. But I view it as a blessing, without my experience I wouldn’t be teaching children and going through my BCBA program.
Thank you so much, Mary, for this episode with interviewing your younger son Spencer! It is very important to hear firsthand what does it mean to live next to autism! You are the mother of the child with autism, and your younger son is a typical developmental. What would you say to the parents, who are afraid to have another child due to their fear of another developmental delay? What advice as a professional and a parent would you give them that might be helpful for making a right decision towards born another child? Thank you very much for your great educational work for both professionals and parents!
Hi Mary , you are doing an amazing job . Thank you so much . My autistic child closes his ears when his sibling watches rhymes on the iPad . I know it bothers him . He won’t allow his sibling to watch anything on iPad unless it’s on mute . How do we work on this . Please guide me .
you want to work on preventing the problem. So maybe you can teach him a place to go. Perhaps he can wear headphones or the sibling can have a special spot away he can go to watch and keep the peace.
Hallo Mary. I have seen some of your Videos and my daughter, now 2.7 years old, has exactly the same symptoms as your son lucas. I have already bought your book turn autism around. But I would like go hear how lucas is doing now and how did it evolve for him? We are very concerned that our daughter never learns to speak! 😔
Lucas can get his wants and needs met and has very good independent skills! Many people in my online courses have had total life changes! Check out a free workshop www.marybarbera.com/workshops
I'm an autism mother.. My neurotypicl daughter helps me a lot in handling my son.. But yes she get jealous most of time and sys you love him more 😢 I don't know how to make her realize that his bro need more care
Hi Asia. As an autism sibling myself I expect your daughter does understand that he needs more care. Just because we understand our siblings need more care, it doesn't mean we don't find it annoying at times. (As I'm sure you can understand; you probably get annoyed at things your son does sometimes even though you understand he can't help it.)
