  • Our 1 year old toddler has been diagnosed as moderately to severely autistic so here are the early signs of autism in 18 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

    I am a pediatric OT..and the part about going home and practicing tasks observed in therapy is EXACTLY right. Kids whose parents do this literally double/triple their progress rate.

    • @OurLANDingCrew8
      @OurLANDingCrew8  5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Its definitely why I think Liam walked and crawled much earlier than Noah. They only get 30 min with the therapist but if we can take what they are teaching them and implement it at home it helps so much. The therapist tries things that I would've never tried or thought of

    • @kristenkerrr
      @kristenkerrr 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@achuzjithinvadakkedathu5783 she's fine.. As long as she communicates well and she's trying to talk to you in a way where you can decipher what she's trying to say.. my daughter is the same.. Her speech gets better everyday and I help her in pronouncing her words and formulate her sentences. Remember that every child develops at a different rate.

    • @eltiburon5240
      @eltiburon5240 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Any updates on your daughter going through the same with my son his speech is delayed and doesn’t put sentences together and has maybe 30 words. He pretend plays and plays with others fine and makes good eye contact he just gets easily upset which I’m guessing is from his lack of words to communicate his needs immediately.

    I've watched around 4 videos of yours, and all I can say is that you are obviously a very caring and wonderful mother. I don't think you realise how lovely it is to watch such a natural mother see her children for who they are rather than who they should be. I have alot of anxiety issues about my child (18 months) having autism (it runs in my family) but watching your videos makes me realise that even if he does, children all have they're own way of growing, and that they deserve love and care regardless. Keep going mama, you are amazing.

    I want to thank you for creating videos like this. I have always had that same feeling that you talk about when you knew something was wrong. My 2yr old son has not been diagnosed with autism yet, but we are currently going through the screening/evaluation process. My family is in denial & doesn't want to believe that he is autistic, but I know that he is. He has way too many signs. Stimming, speech delay, social/behavioral issues, etc... Early intervention can make such a difference. It's all about helping the child. Your videos help me understand autism and make me feel that I'm not alone in this. God bless you and your family 💕

    Thank you so much for sharing all this. Liam has a lot in common with my autistic 4 year old. They are happy boys. Jaxon (my son) did the laughing thing and I would say “well at least he’s happy”. These kids are blessings. I am so blessed and thankful to have found your channel a few years ago. I’ve been watching since 2017. Love y’all so much.

    He reminds me so much of my son Cole, who also has Autism. Cole did SO MANY of those same things at that age.. they are very similar. Cole is doing amazing now! He just turned 4 years old and he's far exceeded our expectations... I hope that gives you some hope. Liam is such a sweetheart and I'm so glad that he's getting therapy from such a young age. ❤

    I love your videos. I have 4 children and my youngest son Ender was just diagnosed with Autism. He is 4.5 years old. I’ve never dealt with anything like this so I was clueless to the signs and my dr just chalked it up to him being the last child. He had no real signs no regression he was just speech delayed. He didn’t call me mom until he was 3 years old. I’m so glad you found out this early, an early start on therapy for him is amazing. You are doing an amazing job mama!

    My daughter was diagnosed with autism and moderate learning difficulties at 18 months. I had suspected much earlier. She is celebrating her 30th birthday this year, it has been very hard as a single parent but so rewarding seeing her grow into the person she is today., I am so proud of her achievements, she continues to surprise me every day

  • @83lulube
    @83lulube 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    My personal belief...your'e doing everything right! It's all about early intervention and the earlier you can diagnose them, the better so that you can get the help needed! They will do so much better as they continue to grow because you took the bull by the horn at such early ages. 🙂
    Keep up the good work, Momma! ♥

    I don’t know why I got so emotional watching this . My son was diagnosed in June . Everything you said was spot on with my son . He will be 3 in November. I’m still struggling with his diagnosis even though I knew from the day he was born something was off with him . It’s been a adjustment lately since he’s getting older and more frustrated that I’m not able to understand him or tell me what he wants and needs . You’re channel is helping me a lot .

    My son's 18 month appointment was yesterday and his pediatrician has referred us to neurologist for a definitive diagnosis. I knew this was coming. I've been noticing signs for a while now. But one small thing in this video stuck out to me... the jumping! My son is OBSESSED with jumping. He loves to shake his head too while he jumps. I thought he was just being silly. 😮 Thank you for making this. It's helped ease my nerves so much.

    @awesomeKathyHarris 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow. What an amazing Mum. So articulate, self aware and able to identify the small things that are easy to miss as a parent. Autism is like a jigsaw puzzle, much easier to recognise when complete but a mystery in the making. I have a 16 year old ASD ‘jumper’ who had some of the characteristics of Liam. He’s a great boy but it’s been a long struggle. Good luck!

  • @ashleyr8777

    I definitely feel trusting your gut is the best. I was on the other side. Everyone who aren’t qualified, tried to tell me he has Autism because of his speech delay.
    So I searched out a Two specialists. Both decided my son did not. so now we are trying to find a reason for the delay.
    In my case Autism isn’t the answer.
    Way to go on trusting yourself and your gut.

    You rock Stephanie! Thank you for explaining everything regarding Liam’s diagnosis in so much detail. Breaking stigmas and educating others is something you should be incredibly proud of achieving. Such a hard and time consuming thing to do when your already a mother to a large fam and make time to create videos like this one. The low muscle tone video would be beneficial to many I would think. When my son was diagnosed with low muscle tone at 7 days old I really didn’t know what that actually meant for him. Low muscle tone also has a spectrum, my son has always been very tiny and had underdeveloped muscles. He has always been very underweight part of the low muscle tone and his diagnosis. He had absolutely no head control which was noticed shortly after birth. That was really scary as a new mother working out the best way to pick up, carry and hold a newborn who had such a floppy head with no neck control. Something I will be hyper aware of and looking out for when our next bub arrives in about 4 weeks time.

Hes displaying alot of the same characteristics that Liam has including the same stims... filled with dread as my middle child is very full on requiring a lot of my attention.

    Edit: My 17 month old will literally wake up at like 3am laughing at nothing & walk around the house laughing. He also used to say a lot more words like “momma” but he doesn’t say them anymore. My son shakes his head all the time as well during times that he isn’t communicating (randomly).

He also spaces out and tilts his head and stares off, or grimaces. We told his mom and she just brushes it off. Idk what to do

In the meantime I try to make sure she has plenty of access to things she can snack on or chew on (she still uses baby teethers quite a bit).

    This is the first video I've seen that relates to my situation very closely. I also had 2 babies within 17 months. In my case it is my baby who is on the spectrum and I denied it up until 18 months and when I started to be honest with myself, I realized what had been present since birth. He's autistic. My other 4 children are perfectly "normal" I used quotes there because im not sure what the word "normal" is to be honest. My son also shakes his head in the same exact way your son does. Also the same sleeping patterns (better now though). My son lines up his cars, lines up his food, lines up everything. I feel blessed to have experienced this because before I did, I was ignorant, I thought autism children were something other people had. So I am happy to have woken up. Thank you for sharing your story.

    As a special education teacher I find that parents are sometimes afraid of a diagnosis or label for their child. I completely understand this fear as no parent wants their child to struggle or be different but for many kids receiving an early diagnosis can make a big difference later in life. With out a diagnosis children can not receive the services and therapy they may need. When kids receive services and therapy early they tend to make better progress and may not need as much support as they get older. Whether your child is “typical” or special needs their brains are constantly growing and developing pathways and skills build upon each other. As a toddler they learn the basics and then they use these basic skills to learn more complex skills. Toddlers with special needs need more help learning these basic skills and if they have the support early then they can master these basic skills and use them to learn more complex skills as they get older. So while a diagnosis can be difficult it doesn’t change the fact that your child is still the same child he/she was before the diagnosis. A diagnosis just means he/she can receive the support they need. An evaluation also means you will be able to determine where your child has strengths and where they may struggle and this can be very helpful in terms of teaching skills and structuring services so that they highlight their strengths.

      Ana McDonald you are very welcome!! I have been teaching students with autism for over a decade. Over 20 years ago a neighbor moved in with a severely autistic 3 year old. I was barely a teenager and knew then I wanted to help kids like him and their families as a career. I have taught kids ages 5-18 who where at all different places on the spectrum functioning wise. This means I also worked with many different families. I have helped them through many struggles and have heard their fears. There were many who feared the diagnosis itself and what that meant for their child. They all stated that while it took some time to accept the diagnosis getting the diagnosis meant that they now knew and could take the steps needed to help their child moving forward.

      I am studying education right now and have worked with several children with autism. A friend of mine that is special education teacher said that it's better to choose a correct label. It applies to anything. Otherwise, they are getting labeled lazy, stupid, willful etc. I couldn't agree more, even educators sometimes judge the students and parents for a disability.

    Thanks so much for this video! My son is on the spectrum. It became more obvious the older he got (he's almost 5 now). I also have a 1 year old daughter who so far doesn't seem to be. I love my son to pieces but he has some behaviors that are quite difficult and so it's kind of exciting to see my girl being affectionate, showing me things etc. my son was also very chill which was a symptom that we missed for a while since it was (if I'm honest) convenient for us (like, he would sit and look out the window in the car without needing to be entertained. My daughter on the other hand..! 😂) Anyway, I'm still figuring out this whole special needs parenting thing and it's hard and lonely and no one in my life (including my husband 😩) really seems to "get it" so I'm grateful for your channel. ❤️
