My son’s doctor recommended your book Turn Autism Around. I’ve just started it and am getting ready to do the assessment. I’m committed to this and very grateful for your guidance. My 2.5 year old son shows a few of the major red flags- does not and has never pointed, speech delay (currently has about 50 words, many of which are echoed, though he does very well with interverbal speech), does not respond to his name (though I find he responds when I say “it’s mama” or something after the teacher has failed to get his attention from saying his name), and doesn’t follow where I point, doesn’t bring things to show me. We started OT and ST about 6 weeks ago and I’m seeing so much improvement already. I’m hopeful that with your book I will be able to minimize the effects of autism in my son. I have not received an official diagnosis yet but the doctor sees signs based on the RITA-T test results. My son is very happy, no sensory issues, does well with other kids and at daycare. No problems eating or sleeping. The main issue is getting him to speak in sentences and ask for what he wants. He does not have significant lengthy tantrums though which puzzles me if he’s not able to verbally communicate. Autism is very confusing and I appreciate your guidance very much!
I'm so happy to hear my book is helping you. If you want further guidance and access to my private Facebook community, my online courses can really help you! If you're interested, join me for a free workshop at www.marybarbera.com/workshops.
@katpender1 I know this is an old comment, but how is your son doing now? Our daughter has some red flags for autism, and we've also started the turn autism around program
You should also educate pediatricians in US. My pediatician had missed to identify these signs in my kid. He was so reckless. I wonder how medical degree is offered to such poor observers
Thank you so much for this spectrum information.It is a real eye opener to understanding the many reasons why certain children or adults are delayed or not communicating properly. Thank you and I hope it allows us to stop being in denial and to quickly get professional help so our child gets the best chance to be as normal as possible. To not do so , would be to disable them further.
I have a 11 year old daughter that is undiagnosed her father is suspected of having it but unfortunately his mother is in denial how do i go about diagnosing her she has constant meltdowns (kicking my carseat as im driving,screaming,slamming doors)
Look for a developmental Pediatrician.Make a appointment and when you speak to them , tell them your concerns. It's to early to diagnose your daughter because there's many learning disabilities that mimic autism. So it can be anything from a chemical imbalance or Autism or psychological or ADHD or behavior issues. Any or more of these can be the issue or issues.That being said as a possible cause, I suggest that you take your daughter and allow the developmental specialist to Rule all the possible issues and properly diagnose the issue. And if you are not happy with the diagnosis, you have the right to want a second opinion. Hope this helps.
My oldest is on the spectrum and now our youngest, who will be 2 in a couple of weeks has been showing signs of autism. We have her on a waiting list to get screened. We gave her the M-CHAT screening and she scored high for possibly autism. She has many of the signs you mentioned plus she does a lot of stimming (hand flapping and tightens her arms and hands when frustrated or excited). So now it's just a waiting game because of the long wait for screening to get done. Thank you for your time with these videos.
Thank you for watching! If you're concerned about delays, my online courses can help you teach her at home. If you're interested, join me for a free workshop at www.marybarbera.com/workshops.
Hi, my 4yrs old can't talk in sentences, she follows instructions so well ,her age mates Express themselves 🤨, she sometimes cries for no apparent reason, what could this be? So far I have seen speech therapist and developmental pediatrician they didn't say anything, in Kenya its like they don't know Autism
Have you taken our free assessment yet? FreeAutismAssessment.com this will give you 3 scores in the area of self care, language and learning and problem behaviors- this will give you a starting point.
Hello my name is iesha my son Jeremiah I want to get him evaluated They told me that he have a speech delay and he have autism I just broke down and start crying because I really don’t know about autism like that
I've been there, mama! I appreciate you sharing this here. My online courses can really help you increase his language and reduce problem behaviors, right from home (with minimal materials). Waitlists for evaluations and services can be frustrating, but my course can be implemented right away. If you're interested, join me for a free workshop at www.marybarbera.com/workshops.

100% agree. It’s amazing how many pediatricians know so little about autism.
