- Tessie, our 3 year old on the autism spectrum was diagnosed at 18 months, but we knew that she was autistic much earlier and today I talk about the signs that we saw when she was an infant that she was on the autism spectrum.
As parents to a then six year old on the spectrum, we saw many things in Tessie that we believe we probably missed the first time around with Maggie. While Tessie wouldn't be able to be diagnosed as being autistic until she was 18 months old, we had very little doubt when that she was from the time she was a tiny baby, and today I share exactly what we saw that caused us to know that she wasn't neurotypical, even when she was very tiny.
Welcome to Someday I'll Sleep Autism Vlogs! We talk a lot about autism around here because as a family with two kids on the autism spectrum we believe that autism acceptance is extremely important. We also post family vlogs daily, about our lives. You'll get glimpses of what's going on at the moment in our lives, usually in a little town in Michigan, or in the city that Paul works in and where we have about a million therapy sessions each week.
We are a family of 7, with a Mom named Cammie and a Dad named Paul. Sadie is 11, Maggie is 9, Patrick is 6, James is 4, and Tessie is now 3!

So I took the advice of so many of you and I actually remade this video minus my the experience I share in the first eight minutes. If you want this video with just the five signs, plus a little extra information because I have definitely learned a bit in these last few months, click here on this link and that is exactly what you'll get. Thanks to everyone for the lovely feedback- th-cam.com/video/MIR6s5AC2qo/w-d-xo.html
I really liked your extra information at the start. It was really insightful.
Hi, want to know if your baby had vaccine when she was born within the few days you were in the hospital. Thanks pls reply
@@amakaokaro5045 ... vaccines do NOT cause autism.

@@krystynmckenzie8291 agreed! My son was like this immediately at birth. Was in the NICU because he didn’t know how to eat properly…. Couldn’t nurse :(. Broke me….
For anyone who needs it. The signs start at 7:48 😊
You rock
Thanks
Thank you!
Omg thank you!
Thanks
7:47 to jump right to the signs for whoever wants to know immediately. I watched the whole video btw.
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you. She talked too much at first, not to the point.
Geewizz thank you
Gogo Nuts she actually gets to share some personal background and you get to be patient as an audience member. :) everyone wants just the info but aren’t willing to listen to someone’s personal story.

Bless her….she’s adorable 🥰🙏🏼
Thank you
My baby is turning 7 months, still very young but he has all of these signs plus more. He doesn't laugh, doesn't roll to stomach, rarely smiles anymore, doesn't coo or babble. Doesn't react to loud noises but can definitely hear. Did not start making eye contact until 5 months, actively looks away and still does which is heartbreaking. Didn't like being touched at an unusually young age. Is delayed or missing most milestones. Doesn't cry when wet or hungry. Not sure what to do, hope he's ok but I am worried about it and trying to prepare for the possibility... 🥺
@@petergriffiinbirdisthewordtalk to your peds MD. Early intervention is key.
I have Autism for 32 years and your video is very uplifting.
My son was diagnosed when he was 2-3 yo. He is now 6 yo. He is so verbal, silly and smart. The sweetest kid ever. He can read really well.
Do u have a video on your journey with your son?
@@bbylaila I just have random videos of him not properly laid out
@@bbylaila this is him playingth-cam.com/video/XX7J5Zkt04A/w-d-xo.html
That's awesome! Has he always been verbal or has that been something you needed to work on a lot?
@@beacruz728 any helpful recommendations you think that’s helpful, I have a 2yr old nonverbal
I knew my son was autistic before we left the hospital, and I had no previous experience with autism, but I had had 4 other babies. My son was very eerily calm, never cried and was completely different than my other babies. Long story short, he VERY autistic, will live with us forever, and a joy.
I just want to take a deep breath for you. I get the same way when public speaking.
You are a super mom! Thanks for putting yourself out there to help other parents. Your girls are beautiful and your love for them absolutely glows!
We found out that our son had Autism at 3 years old ..He is now 18 and is a very happy,and well adjusted young man. There is hope no matter how hard it may appear in the beginning ..
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks. Your comment give me hope too...
Thank you! You have given me hope! My daughter has autism, 6 years old, and is not potty trained, nor does she talk. It is honestly so hard.
Glad to know the progress for your son. At what age does your baby boy started speaking? My 3 year old niece is unspoken.
@@simplecomplexity1 Yes, please don't give up because it does get easier..
Watching this 3 years later. I wish your family all the best with much love and care to you and your children.
My son doesn't have autism, but when he was an infant, he didn't make eye contact very much. He looked away a lot. I'm a caregiver, and there are only a few infants who make direct eye contact for more than a few seconds at a time. They develop it as time goes on, so it's usually nothing to worry about. I just don't want moms to freak out over this and think their little infant has autism.
I needed to see this comment lol
Thank you! I’m only watching this video because i went down a rabbit hole as to why my 2 month old does hold eye contact
Hi , thanks for that but my son is 8 months now and he is a premature baby he doesn't make eye contact and rarely makes eye contact and only looks outside or light , is this something that he will outgrow ?
@@dangitsaleaha14same 😔 how is your baby doing now ?
Do your baby make social smile?
Your lipstick is soooo flattering. Wear that everyday. Thank you for the video. I appreciated the segment about “impossible to know” I’ve heard that a lot! My daughter is 10 months and I have a lot of feelings and signs I can’t get out of my head.
Mother's intuition is something which cannot be ignored. It always turns out true.
Absolutely I agree with you. It is almost like second sight.
Always
Indeed
I had twins in 2007…. My boys were 11 and 7 at the time. From the moment they handed my son to me I knew something was very different…. You couldn’t swaddle or cuddle him. He was always so stiff. Started so easily- was extremely inconsolable. He didn’t know how to drink- he started occupational therapy the day we left the birthing hospital. For 14 years I have been asking for help. Oh, his delays are because he’s a preemie. He has twin speak not a speech delay. The sensory issue- oh my word! The conversations with strangers. The lack of empathy and social cues. It’s so exhausting yet so rewarding. Love your videos and information- hugs Mama!!🥰
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. The information and experience you provided is much appreciated.
Off topic but just wanted to say. There is something really beautiful about you! Thank you so much for these informative videos!
Thank you so much Courtney!
It comes from the inside, mostly those eyes! Plus, yellow, RED popping lips, she's got it going on! Lol, but really though, it's so much more than the physical, I totally knew what you meant!😁💞💫🍀
I so agree with you. She is beautiful and pure joy.
Yeah. She's beautiful in a special way I don't how to put it
second this, I keep noticing it while watching your videos, there is this bittersweet loving resilience pouring out of you, a quality I can't really name but it's really palpable
Oh sweetie, my heart goes out to you, I am virtually hugging you. Your daughter is beautiful and so are you
The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour ❤️
My son is 18 almost 19 months old. I too know my child is on the spectrum. I’ve known since about a month old. He was born early. We came home when he was about a month old. He didn’t like to be touched, was happy to be set down and to be honest it broke my heart. He wouldn’t make eye contact from a very young age, so much so that even extended family noticed it. He is still always looking at the ceiling and the lights. There’s so much more but thank you for this video. Seeing your baby girl gives me hope for my son. He’s not speaking yet but I hope he will one day :)
Thanks for sharing your experience. Prosperity and strength to you and your beautiful family.
My journey to realizing that I have it took 50 years. I didn't want to be held either, played alone even digging a huge hole with a spoon, speech & social issues. I am an Air Force vet, a College grad as well as a husband and father. It helps explain my quirks. I went deep into photography when everyone else thought I was a fool for doing so. Loud music and people at our New Year's party had me craving a break from it. When my daughter was falling asleep on the couch, I used the excuse "I'll stay with her."
I am in the process of getting my almost 18 month old daughter diagnosed. Looking back, I can honestly say that I could tell from the very beginning also. Mind you, she is my first and only child. But I could feel her energy was different. She was a lot more frustrated and never smiled or interacted. She would always cry. She did learn to walk at 9 months old. So I thought she was going to progress quicker than the rest. But she doesn't communicate. She doesn't like to be touched, unless she is the one to provoke it.
It was always hard for us to go to family events or places with friends because she was never happy. My friends and family even admitted that they were kind of intimidated by her.
Thank you for sharing !
And of course. My daughter has all of the hallmarks now
Even in adulthood, the energy is different. Sometimes I think of it as emotional constipation, and say "let it out". No fluorescent bulbs. LED holiday lights all year. Announcing changes before they get noticed. Texts before calls (written is easier sensory load). Lots of earplugs. Warning before turning on lights or disposal. Pillows everywhere.
@@sylviegoncalves how is he doing now
Did you get her evaluated ❤
Your such a great mom for paying attention to signs thank you so much for this video.
She's so adorable😍
Just look at her perfect hair, eyes and skin😘😘😘. And love how's she's playful.
You are a great mother by the way. Autism mums are super heros
I loved this video! I learned a lot and the guest appearances showed happy autism at age 3. Great collection of "how I knew" comments. Impressive effort to respond to all those who complained about the length and timing (why didn't y'all watch the other vid?). To the Drs.: Yeah, the parents can tell even if you can't. Time to change the medical books.
My own Granddaughter Grace, as an infant showed definite signs from early on. She cried when anyone but her Mom even just looked at her. None of us could hold her, or even just glance her way. My daughter refused to believe that anything could possibly be wrong with a child of hers. Even now at age 4, she is in denial. However, her children are now in foster care and even Grace is thriving, she is given unconditional love, emotional support, and therapy at school. We love the great progress she is now making and it just goes to show you what live, as therapy, can do!! Keep up your amazing work with your children!!
I am glad to hear they are doing well. We need more high quality services for people with disabilities.
How are these signs of autism ?!
Why in foster care ?
Why is she in foster care?
30 years ago my baby didn't want to be held, rocked, sung to, etc. Just in the swing, wound over and over. Just put in crib. Jiggling in carrier on the clothes dryer, actually recommended by pediatrician without diagnosis. Hated me singing or reading stories. Not auditory but visual. So many photos with a sad or angry face....MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU. AT LEAST THE DIAGNOSIS WILL HELP.
You daughter looks perfectly all right it's all because of your love and care may god bless her♥️♥️
Children and people with autism are still alright
You are so inspirational. You seem like a lovely patient mother. May God bless you xx
This video is Sooo helpful. Ever since my son was 6 weeks old, I knew he was different and I fought ever since to find Answers ❤️
How old is your son now
??? How did you know? What signs did he show at 6weeks?
You are so wise and observant and this is so wonderful you identified issues in order to begin early intervention.. Kudos to you!❤❤❤
You are so insightful and really appreciate your strength and sharing your story. You have two beautiful girls. God bless you and your family.
My daughter was born in 1966 which makes her older than most of you on here. I KNEW THEN! This was a time when autism was much rarer, or possibly just misdiagnosed. But, the 1st sign was striking! She seemed like a perfectly happy baby, until I picked her up! Always happier just being left alone. Her speech development was slow, although her motor skills weren't. At 3 I had her tested by Atlanta Speech and Hearing. This led to other neurological exams and a whole regimine of tests, schools, special ed etc..Without going into all the details, she wasn't diagnosed correctly until she was an adult. But, the main point is...
A MOTHER KNOWS! Don't ever discount your intuition!
That was a time when doctors never took mothers seriously and also gave out a lot of bad advice.
@@cathykrueger4899they still give out BAD ADVICE! nothing has changed!
You are so sweet and patient. May God bless you and your family. Thanks for sharing.
She reminds me so much of my son, who is 2. He has yet to be formally diagnosed but we know. This is all new to us so I very much appreciate your video! Your daughter is so ridiculously adorable.
That's what happened to us
Did you get him evaluated
How is he doing now ❤
You seem like such a sweet and patient mom ! :)
Thank you so much.
This is helpful but could have got to the point a bit quicker
“Can’t see the forrest through the trees” like she said
Thank you for saying this lol
I thought she'd never arrive at the point, almost fell asleep while she was beating around the bush
Pls I cant understand this language. Pls some points type here anyone she said.
Just too much talking. Get to the point will be helpful instead of wasting time.
Thank you for posting! I'm a mom of five, including a six year old autistic daughter and now a newborn girl. Our type of autism is caused by a genetic disorder and I'm now watching our new baby for signs. I really identified with the things you were talking about. I guess I just wanted to comment and show solidarity 💖 you're an amazing mom
And I knew when my six year old was just a few weeks old. We didn't get a dx for another almost three years
Hi! I’m a mom of three, I have a 7 year old boy who is autistic. It’s hard to explain because he’s constantly growing through and out of certain habits. Our 2 year old girl is *normal* and very intelligent. However, our 7 week old is not making constant eye contact. He looks at you, and laughs and plays! But sometimes he just stares off or if you look at him, he turn his head. But then he’ll make eye contact for about 30 minutes and play. Idk what to do. And the doctors said he’s fine. I just feel very worried. What do you think? I heard this young lady say the same thing. But my son stares and tracks things… sometimes!
@@Itisdone. what about your son now?
Beautiful little girl and amazing mom!!! Thank you so much for this video and your wisdom regarding babies and autism. This video is priceless!!!♥️♥️♥️
Bless your heart. You are special, as are your children. I have a nephew with an autistic son and know how hard it is. Thank you for sharing your very valuable information.
I think Moms always know
We have great instinct
Your babies are blessed and beautiful
Best wishes
We started seeing signs when she was about 8 months old. She was premature and was evaluated for services because she was developmentally behind in every category (fine motor, gross motor, speech, cognitive, and social). She had an MCHAT done at 18 months and she was right on the cusp of being considered on the spectrum at that point. Rechecked at 24 months, same thing, right on the cusp. Just after her 3rd birthday she was officially diagnosed. ASD, SPD, OCD, all while being hyperlexic.
In all honesty, I did a a great impression of an ostrich the first 2 times. My head wad firmly stuck in the sand. I tried to pretend the doctors were being overly cautious, but after 'sitting with it' between the ages of 2 and 3, and watching those traits become more and more prevalent, I realized they were right. And it wasn't like she became autistic overnight, it had always been there. Now we just have a way to help describe the issues she faces and the level of support she needs.
Our issue now is getting services when she doesn't qualify for Medicaid, and our private insurance doesn't cover a penny of it. A Catch 22 if ever there was one.
Try setting up a GoFundMe and explain the situation and that you need help to be able to fund the services she will need to be successful and research if there are any grants who can help her
Everyone’s been telling me I couldn’t know that my now 21 month olds autistic since he was 10 months old & i started to see the signs, the lack of eye contact being one of the 1st & i allowed it to feed into my denial even though i was sure, ... it put off his intervention for so long...this is an important video to share!🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing. I take care of my grandson and I knew something was wrong when after six months he still did not want to sleep in the night and was super hyper during that time. Later more symptoms where revealed like delay speech and not willing to eat food only PediaSure.
Now with two years he has been diagnosed and is on the spectrum.
You are absolutely right, in France se diagnosis autism between 0 to 18 months and we take them to get them out of the worst prognostic, you can see all the work of Bullinger with the sensory motor therapy and the psychoanalysis in combination of this helps a lot of babies to get off those signs or attenuate a lot for some others!
Skip right away to 7:50
Kristine Rojas thanks
Thank you!!!!!
This was a way too long saying the same thing over and over again! Just get to the point!
@@andrewg4us2010 This mother speaks from her heart. She deserves credit and respect for helping others.
OMG THANK YOU.
All the mommies, please listen to this wonderful woman, accept it and seek for support ASAP
My son was diagnosed with aspergers at the age of 3 and half, I didn’t know anything about autism at that point but his preschool teacher opened our eyes, until then I was struggling with my child, super picky, gagging at all the smells, not feeding independently like his peers, it felt like me and my child vs whole world, I knew nothing about autism but family friends made me feel like I over pampered spoiled my child, i was so depressed but once we had diagnosis, puzzle is solved, everything started to make sense and most importantly you will know how to hep your child learn, u and ur child will be happy and we no longer feel like failure, instead being mom of an autistic kid makes us better person, just like this mom, thanks for this video 😍
Wow I can relate my son got diagnosed last year and most of his life he was in and out of hospital because he had a weak immune system and was constantly getting sick it had gotten really bad when he was three months old the Dr asked us if we want a priest to bless him but it's sad how people see these children as if they are a problem and they aren't they are a blessing just like any child that born good for you for not giving up on getting answers for your precious baby boy your a good mom don't listen to people who want to put you or your son down
I'm with you on the infant signs. Appreciate your positivity.
I knew something was wrong with my son the day he was born and I spent the next 2 and a half years fighting to get doctors to listen to me. Day 1 he didn't like being held or touched. He didn't turn his head to my voice. Slept more than normal and wasn't very interested in eating. I just knew something was up. We had no other autistic children so I didn't know that's what it was but I just knew in my heart something was different. He was diagnosed at 2.5.
I wouldn't describe being autistic as something being 'wrong with' your child.
Something Was different. It gets better when we learn how to share their world and they ours. I have friends who hate shopping for groceries or general stores because "there's too many people". I now go shopping with people who enjoy it and everyone's happier. Public events-I either go alone or accept that "we" will participate on the sides or edges.
Very well said. You're an amazing Mother. What's a beautiful Daughter. Thank you for the information. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
🙏🙏 to all mother with autistic kids.. YOU GUYS ARE REAL DEAL FIGHTERS..
You are such a wonderful mother & so kind to share your family’s stories & struggles. I have a daughter 26ys with Autism & it was certainly a long journey. Someday I can share. Sharing your journey is Tremendously helpful for parents AS well as professionals & could certainly make a Real Difference in Awareness & Empowerment of those involved in diagnosing! I have Not heard, (before your video), about such early signs in INFANCY that can reveal the Autism Spectrum diagnosis. Ofcourse I know that each child is Unique, But at the same time, it seems there are definitely some universal signs to look for Such as what you explain Tessie exhibited. I will definitely keep this vitally helpful information In My ‘Information Bank’ in which I can refer to in the future & share w others. My daughter definitely had some similarities to your daughter’s signs. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing this video.
You CAN know, the average age of diagnosis in Israel is 12 months to 18 months. The signs currently being used for diagnosis in age 3 and up are the downstream effects of autism. The Mifne Autism Center has studied babies who were autistic and even in cases where the parents felt they regressed, the signs were there. The majority of treatments focusing on autism today (behavior intervention) are not addressing autism at all, and are focusing on downstream symptoms rather than the core aspects of processing differences.
You seam like a wonderful patient mother ☺💛 I watch a lot of moms on youtube with their kids (who are not autistic) and some mothers seam really impatient and annoyed and some even go as far to rolling their eyes, making annoyed sounds and yelling at their kid ON CAMERA and leaving it in the video. I get that its real life, kids can be hard! I know because i have a 3 year old but we all have to learn to have patience take some time alone time and take care of our selves mentally so we don't lash out on the kids WE are supposed to teach, love and take care of. 🤰💛
Excellent parenting skills!
I just came across your channel and I just wanted to applaud you for following your instincts, despite who thought you were crazy! Your message is important for several reasons, but one of the most valuable is to be your own advocate, even when a doctor tells you "there's no way your baby has autism". Great video!
These babies are unique and very special individuals. They are spiritual gifts from God and they are diagnosed with autism because they are not communicating at the typical age like other children and our primary healthcare providers today assume they are behind and diagnose them with autism because they are not on the same wavelength as other children. I personally believe they will communicate at their appointed time. They are rare and special souls. When I was younger, I didn’t talk, it wasn’t that I couldn’t talk, I just didn’t talk. I was just a different child, I behaved differently than other children.
I am feeling so thankful for your channel because I am autistic and my husband has many traits so I am sure when we have kids some if not all of them will be autistic too. I am verbal and always have been so it’s great to see how you handle kids whose autism presents differently than yours.
Either way I think you will make a great mom because you will be able to help your kids if there is a diagnosis and if not a diagnosis then you will still be a great mom don't listen to anyone who tells you can't because you can
Thank you for sharing it sister
You have explained this so well. my son is high needs and that always confused me and made me think he is not autistic yet I'm Sooo sure. You have explained the needs thing SO well thank you
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
I've known since my third was an infant and most told me I was being paranoid because my first is Autistic. But having a neurotypical kiddo and an autistic one, I just new. So many similarities with my third and autistic son and my nephew who is also autistic. But now we are waiting for an evaluation.
I know that waiting can be so hard, especially when you have that experience and knowledge already like you do. Hang in there. I hope the time until you guys get in for the eval goes by quickly. ♥️
Thanks for informative video. You are a great mother :-)
I have two autistic grandsons. Brothers. One is completely sensitive to sounds and who's hearing is very sensitive. The other loves the sounds loud and busy. The one who likes a lot of stimulation was diagnosed at 18 months although I already knew from infancy. When ever we would go out, as soon as I put him in the car, he would scream and scream the whole time. As soon as we got to where we were going, he would quiet. Transitions, he hated them. A lot of screaming fits at night. Sometimes lasting an hour or more. Constant walking the floors with him. On the positive side, He was reading at age 3. Not out loud but picking the correct words to a sentence on the computer and doing searches by himself. He lost his words by the age of 2 but is learning to comunicate much better now. He is 13 now and although many autistic symptoms are still severe, he can comunicate with people much better.
When my little one was 3 days old, I asked my husband if he thought our son was autistic and he thought I was crazy. And I asked again at 6 months. And 9 months. And 12, 15, etc. He was finally officially diagnosed at age 3. Sometimes moms know things before doctors.
Lease F how did you know
So true! There are so many times when we are the first to know! I'm glad you finally were able to get that diagnosis.
I’m absolutely terrified my son will have something wrong with him but that’s just bc I so badly just want him to be perfect and happy and healthy and I know he’ll be perfect no matter what and I know he can be happy and healthy but I hope you guys know what I mean..
Yes... indeed they do.
U got Togo with ya gut as a mom.
For the touch aversion, did she tolerate touching when eating or did she still seem uncomfortable?
She did tolerate it when she was nursing. Basically as soon as she was done she would fuss and cry and as soon as we put her down she was happy. And she very rarely indicated she was hungry. We had to set an alarm to remember to feed her on time because otherwise she would just sleep or lay there without making a sound and so her pediatrician recommended doing that.
Thanks for your thoughtful insights. Excellent. God bless.
God bless you and your family - sending love
This was my experience with my son who wasn't diagnosed until 9. But I had been asking for years because from about a month old it was apparent something was different.
If I may add something else from personal experience - I wasn't diagnosed until waaaay late but my mom noticed things: 1) autistic babies tend to not smile back when you smile at them, and 2) I practiced talking on my own but didn't want my mom to 'catch' me doing it. If she entered the room, I immediately went quiet. xD I was also waaaay behind on motor skills and couldn't walk until I was 2 years old. I'd slide around on my butt, though. And now that I think about it, I also eventually practiced walking in secret. Didn't want to be watched when doing it.
Thanks for sharing
This reminds me of my almost 2.5 year old. She just started walking this week! She also has horrible "stage fright". If we clap for her or say good job, she gets very upset and hides her face in her hands.
This sounds exactly like my friend’s son. He would do all these things around other kids but not in front of his mom
Maybe u were just shy tho
I don’t think any baby would ever smile back I have trouble doing that as an adult…. Please don’t assume your kid has autism just cause they don’t smile back.
My daughter is 2 weeks old now, and literally turn her head and eyes to not look at me. She love looking at the ceiling fan or lights instead.
She rarely makes eye contact.
But then she surprises us and today she looked at her dad and smiled.
And how is she now?
How is your baby now?
@@traiancaburgan1218 amazing! She now looks and try to repeat us. Laughs a lot when we engage with her. And knows what she want and don’t want. For example when we try to put her in the swing and she don’t want to go she starts to cry when we walk in the direction of her swing. When we walk away she immediately stops crying. This happened at 2 1/2 months old. Plus she recognize and love her hands.
@@FF-fd4tm I'm so happy for you! Thank you for reply, you gave me hope! God bless your baby and your family!
@F F hi. And how is your daughter now? Can you give some update? Coz my 2 baby do the same. And have you get your daughter for check for autism? I am sorry for my English, it's not my first language.
My son was diagnosed last March with autism ADHD and speech sound disorder and we are barely starting ABA therapy for him tomorrow he is such a sweet and loving boy we are lucky that he loves to give and receive hugs and kisses people may look at us and judge us for our son behavior because they don't understand or even know him but when people get to know him they see he is a wonderful boy who is worth knowing and is not a problem
My son was like this as well. 4 months old and he didn’t want to be held. He wasn’t as extreme with looking at people in the eyes, but when I fed him he would look off in the distance. So, I began to play a game with him. Everytime he would look away, I would put my face in front of where he was looking. I did this for about 5 minutes where he would look away and I would go with him, so he HAD to look at me. Eventually he grew out of it! And he looks people in the eye now and loves being held.
I’m definitely going to do that because my daughter avoids my eyes like the plague and she’s 2 weeks
Hi so how is your son now did he get better
How is your baby now?
@@FF-fd4tm any changes? How is she?
Thanks for sharing your experience!! Sorry some people on here are so rude :/
You are so great as momnot to be emotional rather out spoken and it does help to speak out share help educate
Right now we're on the fence with both kids. First kid loved to be held and is very sensitive to sounds. There was no sign of anything wrong until he started missing all his communication milestones. Second one is still a baby and doesn't like me holding her and makes no reaction to her brother screaming. But she makes eye contact and smiles when I smile. It's really hard to tell. I've been told by three doctors my son might be on the spectrum and is 'high functioning' or needs to be reevaluated when older or borderline to a diagnosis.
thank you for sharing 😊
Oh thank you soo much. I've felt so alone all these years because I have been telling people these exact same things about my son since the day he was born. I had to feed him next to me, hated to be held, hated sounds and stopped when put down there were many more symptoms.
etc. what a relief. I constantly tell people it's a load of garbage about this vaccination thing as I knew from the day he was born. btw: I used to do volunteer work at the autistic centre when I was a teenager so I guess that was what helped me recognize the signs. He also had/has severe ADHD. Thankfully back then I was able to get a lot of help and therapy and he can now pretty much do every thing on his own.
I know how it feels my son has ASD and ADHD and some people treat us like he is a problem and that we are horrible parents because of his behavior but my son know that I love him no matter what I will always be there one phrase we repeat every night to each other is good night sweet dreams and that we love each other with hug and kiss
You are an Awesome autism mom! Tessie is gorgeous💞💞
I remember when I was a kid I noticed a boy with autism wouldn't look me in the eye ( he always looked at my chin), so I asked him why he wasn't and he said doing so made him feel uncomfortable. I asked him to elaborate, and he said when he did, his brain would vibrate or shake (I can't remember his exact description), so that might be what's happening with your little one. I also never really looked people in the eye as a kid outside of my immediate family, but just because it never occurred to me to do so.
GOD BLESS U 4 SHARING !! U R A AWESOME/MOTHER/WOMEN 2 SHARE/EDUCATE OTHERS FROM YOUR PERSONAL LIFE EXPERIENCES !! WHEREAS I BELIEVE 2 MANY/MOTHERS, WOULD CHOOSE 2 BE SILENT/AVOID FEELING EMBARRASED ! YOU R THE BEST !! TAKE CARE/GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE!!! I 💚💜🧡💙💛❣
Loved this video. I knew when my grandson was 9 months old that he was on the spectrum.
At 18 months he was diagnosed.
I have a 1 year old. And i'm autistic so my child is probably going to be autistic as well one of the very unusual things she used to do from pretty much as soon as she was home from the hospital was after some time holding her and feeding her or playing with her she would just start screaming louder and louder until i put her down and walked out of the room. As soon as i left the room she was quiet. Same with my boyfriend. She even struggles to sleep with us and we decided to move her bed to a different room and she sleeps much better now. She reminds me quite a lot of my self. Also she doesn't like soft hugs or hugs in general but will let you hard hug her mainly when shes tired.
You are a beautiful mom. Sharing this all really helps.
My baby boy signs were
1. Crying continuesly in Crowd
2. Cry when a baby cry
3. Hand flapping when excited
4. Cry on loud noice even a blender or vaccume cleaner viice
5. Delay words milstone
Hi. My son has exact signs as yours. Hes 3 now and was recently diagnosed. Has there been any improvements for your son in terms of speech? How do you deal with the crying when other kids cry?
Yes, he have improved a lot...he is 8 years old now. For 3 years we ran after therapies, special need centres, doctors (and he did improved with it) but then we stopped and i started homeschooling him. We focused on teaching him survival in nature, making him becoming more independent in daily life chores. Nature played a big role in making him stable n stronger mentally and physically. Now a days he goes to a fitness centre for exercise, its bringing alot of confidence in him.
They do improve with age and time but few traces of behavior do exist... i guess this will stay as part of his personality always. Me and my husband have narrowed down high hopes from him. Just focus in teaching them basic life survival skills, keep um close to nature...
I totally knew my son was autistic. I swear I knew when he was born. Even though I didn't know anything about autism...i just knew something was different. I noticed my son stimming as an infant. Lol. He did hit nearly all his milestones as a baby but by 2 yrs old we started early intervention for his speech delay. He was diagnosed right after his 3rd b-day. The doc said, "you don't seem surprised." I already knew! The diagnosis was a relief. Now he's 4 and doing great. He's talking and so smart. They're the best kiddos. Always surprising you!
Someone needs to rewrite the new parents/baby books. Each parent who "knew" has been adding to the list. New parents need to be told how to name what is happening and get the right help. I would put it in a chapter called "Something is different-what do I do?"
Your eyes are beautiful !!!! Plus the red lipstick makes them pop
I have not met babies with autism to my knowledge but have cared for a profoundly disabled baby whose parents were in denial. The baby was 3 months, blind, deaf & floppy, indicating possible movement disorders such as paralysis in certain areas. They finally had to acknowledge that their child had problems that needed to be addressed when he was older & didn’t meet milestones. It is so important that even first time parents seek & continue to be a squeaky wheel to their docs about their babies. Early detection means early intervention & that means so much in the first year of life. I also think maternity wards can do more to detect disorders. Some can be controlled/eliminated with early detection. If we truly value life why are we not 1st in in education. Our maternal & infant death rates are abominable. We can & must do better!!
I cried a Lot when i was a baby , people thought that maybe i was being sick or abused , but i was a very demanding baby AND very selective with people that held md
These videos are just amazing... I have a 3yo that we adopted from the state as a foster child. We brought him home from the hospital and he has been so incredibly hard to understand his whole life. I never thought Autism till we went to his 3yo check up and the Dr said she thinks so and wants a second opinion. Now thats all I research. And I'm gotten most of my info from watching you and hearing you talk about your girls. I could really use some advice on how to handle this with our sweet Noah. Can I email you some questions pls?
Research a hospital in your area that can diagnose autism and see if your Dr can make a referral that what I had to do I had to drive to a city two hours away from were I live to get my son diagnosed see if there is a unm for development disability
I knew my oldest daughter was autistic by 10 months old (though she had signs since birth that I was unaware of). Hated the bassinet, never slept and still doesn't and when she does it can be 22 hours straight then nothing for 2 days then 5 hours of sleep then it starts over. She didn't like eye contact by 6 months and didn't relax while being held. Also fascinated with tv since 6 weeks old. She's 6 now and just now saying her first words. My 4 year old, I knew by 6 months when she would stim and lock her jaw open at the kitchen lights. She can only say mama (out of context). She also screeched and squeeled for no reason at all (still does). They both flap like crazy. They were both delayed at walking probably not until 15 months old. My 6 month old now is already stimming at lights and tv.TV. He also sleeps A LOT.
Amazing video, very informative, thanks for sharing in a real and authentic way. May I ask all your inputs about at birth vaccinations and any knowledge of the side effects? Thank you everyone for your heartfelt comments.
Thank u thank u sooooo much u have been so very helpful and a blessing to me I love u for ur detail of sharing ur knowledge and ur family I’ve always said to myself I know what I’m looking at but I know people will think negatively of me but i feel sooo much better now ❤️
Please stick to the facts, too much digressing. Your info is very helpful, we don't think of the symptoms of the autism spectrum affects infants however it does. Autism is genetic, those babies are autistic the moment of conception.
@@nancyjones6428 Autistic at the moment of conception is a very big concept. I thank you for this new homework.
I’m absolutely terrified my son will have something wrong with him but that’s just bc I so badly just want him to be perfect and happy and healthy and I know he’ll be perfect no matter what and I know he can be happy and healthy but I hope you guys know what I mean
The way doctors are uncomfortable with unusual dx....This reminds me of how our kid had ADHD symptoms and attention issues at 3 years old but we were told our kid was too young to know, and that her ASD dx made it so it didn't matter (even though some ways of symptom-management can be super different) ....but her cousin was dx for ADHD at 2 years old! He was put on medication by age 4 so we were thrown. We didn't want to medicate, especially at that age so we didn't push for it but also didn't feel it mattered. But just for how we approach a lot of her problems with learning; it's beneficial to look at the ADHD specifically not just ASD.
Our kid definitely didn't engage as much back-and-forth as I think most kids/babies might...but she did desire to a lot. The doctors told me to feed her every two-four hours for the first two months (even at night and she was not out of the normal body weight range...) so IDK if that could've set-off her sleeping I know it messed with me. I was so exhausted that mostly we would co-sleep. She had a very hard time getting over it and would literally beat me up at night (not on purpose but needing attention, being very hyper) for several years.
The major thing that comes to mind for us is how harmful she was to us and herself. She would pull hair like crazy, we had to warn people; as an infant she would grasp and not let go! She would bite herself, pinch herself and me usually while giggling and/or smiling. We did worry for a while that she had gone deaf around 2 years old...because she suddenly stopped responding as much. She also stopped communicating unless she absolutely wanted something.
I've met two other parents that said they had the same issue where their kid was at or ahead of milestones until around two-three years old and then regressed and that's how they found out. All of our kids were considered moderately autistic, two of ours still behind academically. It's really perplexing and it makes me wonder if it's another dx we don't know about yet or a mix of dx that doctors see as ASD. Most cases I've heard of aren't that way.....their kid is either behind on most milestones and autistic or at/above levels and stays that way (but with behavioral/more Asperger's symptoms). It's confusing also because of the lack-of-communication with other providers. My husband has severe ADHD and I have ASD (discovered post-kiddo's dx) and we both recall being told adamantly that the PDD-NOS dx meant our kid was mentally disabled, and that was how she was mod-severe levels, now we are told that it means the opposite. (Even though it's clear she has a very strong learning disorder). Just like some professionals will or will not dx at a certain age, some will or will not recommend medication etc.
We have seen a major difference using CBD oil but we definitely did a ton of research on brands and what's most trustworthy and well-tested. We tried it ourselves first and always buy from the same place. She was put on Aripiprazole for a while (at 8 years old) due to self-harming so bad we had to have her in a full-body "cast" basically so that she wouldn't keep harming herself. Ironically she had actually mostly stopped self-harming in a few days up to getting the medication, but since it was not fully gone and we were scared to sleep even....we tried it. Once she was up to the full rec. dose she got worse. We gradually adjusted back down to the minimum (next tier down) and she was getting better but still harming so we completely weaned her off and in three weeks started her on the CBD gradually increasing to where we are at now (adjusting as she's hit a growth spurt). Sometimes we questioned if it was a coincidence or if the CBD really helped and when taken off of it she definitely is more hyperactive, hardly eats, hardly sleeps, and self-harms more. Hope this might help anyone looking into that.
My son has ASD and ADHD and one medication that he takes for ADHD and aggression is guanfacine it's not like riddaline at all he is 4year old and he take 1/2 mg in the morning and in the evening he takes 1/4 mg to help him sleep he takes 1mg of melatonin to help him get to sleep at a normal time before he started melatonin we couldn't get him to bed until midnight
I was diagnosed with autism Asperger's syndrome when I was 12 which is much later than it should have been I wish I was diagnosed a lot earlier it would have helped me socially so much
Katherine Petersen how are you know and how you socialize with others
You do what you can I'm trying but I'm higher functioning so i got "lucky"
Katherine Petersen you’re very strong 💪 person I pray for you girl am glad to hear that
My son is 8 now but it’s crazy cos 1 thing I remember about him that I still tell people is that he didn’t want to be held when he was an infant. I didn’t think much of it. Just thought he was a good baby and didn’t need us to hold him all the time. 😔
Loved the video !!
We can know and affirm things into existence.
I have 2 kids on the spectrum and my oldest got his dx at age 3. My daughter showed way more signs early, but I couldn't get her dx until 13. But I work with infants as a lactation consultant and I really wish ASD screenings were happening in the newborn period. I've had several babies through the years where the feeding issue is definitely sensory based. I never know if I should recommend an ASD screening (if it can even be done) or if it's best to stay out of that area since it is definitely not in my scope of practice.
Thank you for making these videos and bringing awareness to early diagnosis. It makes a huge difference to a lot of people.
I Have have a question my son gags when I try to feed him anything with texture he's one and I just really started trying more textured food and I've worried about autism since he was born could it just be that hes not use to it yet or should I make my son's doctor check him out he doesn't have any other sensory issues tho
@@blazelodriguss1983 it's possible, but kids gag with solid foods for a variety of reasons. How is his eye contact? Does he have any issues with clothing?
@@cathyh675 no issues with clothes but eye contact is very limited with him but other than that he seems to be developing the way he should besides a few things that the doctor said should come with time
@@blazelodriguss1983 eye contact is an early sign of ASD (but it doesn't necessarily always mean the child has ASD). I'd ask his Dr to note your concerns and have a screening done as early as can be done in your area. My son evaluated first at age 3, but I know it is happening at 18 to 24 months in the last few years. They can screen down to 6 months. You can also self-refer to the Infant Toddler Connection (it may have a different name in your state) for testing before age 3. Your local school division is where you would go for screening at age 2.5 years and older. This is all assuming you are in the USA.
If you've seen any loss of developmental skills get an eval ASAP. My son was on time for milestones until a regression at around 18 months. It was dramatic, but since there was no screening available that I was aware of we just waited to see if it was just a fluke. It wasn't.
He did recover those skills and is in his second year of college now. I was told he would never learn to read or understand math when he was 4 or 5 and they suggested I lower my expectations because a high school diploma wasn't likely achievable for him. Good thing my son didn't agree. He has challenges still, but he far surpassed what the school expected he could do.
We used to call my son "The Cat"...he would let you touch him on HIS terms. My mother-in-law was distraught because she was trying to cuddle him and all he did was push away and scream!
