- This is my weekly vlog where I discuss the obstacles I'm facing with my autistic son Lincoln who is almost two and non verbal. This is not a vlog where I present expert medical opinion but instead talk about the different struggles I've faced as a mom of a very special little boy. Most of the struggle I face is with myself.
Lifting you up in prayer. I can't imagine adding a teacher role on top of everything else a mom has to do. Love seeing Lincoln do the puzzle and you are wonderful helping him. Don't be too hard on yourself---you and Lincoln will do great!
What a cutie! My daughter had many of her speech breakthroughs when she desperately wanted something. Maybe talking about colors with regards to his snacks would be fun! Also, milk seems like a likely early sound or word for Lincoln! TH-cam has videos called baby signing time that he may or may not enjoy. They teach basic sign language.
Keep up the great work and remember to take sanity time for yourself! You’re doing great- he adores you!
Thank you for the kind words. I can always use the motivation and inspiration
I know nothing about autism but I do know that I would not have been a good home school teacher of my children. So sometimes we know our limitations. Having said that, watching your video, you are doing a great job. We, as mothers, are always very hard on ourselves, expect way more of ourselves than of others, even when we are doing a great job. Remember that Lincoln is only two, even with his autism, he is just a little guy and great things will come along. Keep up the great work the two of you are doing.
Hello Sarah...your son responds to the toys and snacks...you both are doing good...If you would let him eat his snack after he responds to the different desired placement and then do another directive and reward with a snack(try a cereal or cheese)...he is going to really like the snack to respond...breastfeeding...I will tell you this, he likes the sweetness of your milk...it should be time to introduce the drinking cups before he bites you...my daughter is a specialist in autism and teaches the new teachers to teach the learning disabled...she taught her daughters to sign for basic of milk, eat, etc...our adopted our first grandchild...he is now 22...is autistic...Rachel was 14 at the time he was born...I will talk to her and see if she has time to talk to you about this if you like...she has a masters degree +...I am on FB messenger...Loretta Henderson
