I just wanted to comment and say thank you for posting. I find my situation very similar to yours. My third was just diagnosed with level 2 he’s 2 years old and I also have a new baby. My 2 year old is also a seeker and has almost the exact same signs your son showed as he grew.
@@yuuokami2156this is debatable and cannot be proved. There are many factors which could affect the outcomes in modern society, dietary habits, chemical exposure, vaccinations aswell as genetic changes in humans over the past 100 years are dramatically different to the past. Research is ongoing but there is more than likely a significant contributing factor which currently still eludes us. Medical advances in the future will no doubt be able to pinpoint the exacerbating factors and causes of ASD. It is complicated because it is more of a neurological state rather than a disorder.
I helped my son reduce aggression and improve in speech and social skill with the help of Dr Oyalo herbal supplement I got from RU-vid here. His herbs work perfectly
Thanks for your comment. Tide is now almost 5yrs old and going really good. Emotional regulation is our biggest challenge but his communication skills have increased so much which is great
My 16 month old symptoms No walking Only says mama and not often sometimes forgets for months No responding to name Head banging Stimming noise like humming Hand flapping Head shaking Hand flapping Texture focused Only 1 or 2 shows he likes on tv Lack of interest in other children Hair pulling Babbling to himself Biting Will laugh at things that are not funny Toy fixated He has his evaluation on Tuesday. Keep you posted , Ty for sharing
Oh i m so glad you are back. Congratulations for the new addition in your family. I watched your other video too. Tide has come a long way in termd of his speech and is so beautiful 😭. All of your kids are! I first came across your channel when i was looking up for my daughter who is very similar to how Tide was when he was her age. Shes almost 3.5 and still non verbal but a very happy girl. Hoping she starts talking one day. Please keep making more videos ❤
Your comment makes me so so happy. Thank you for the beautiful words of encouragement and support. I hope your little girl starts talking one day, when she is ready. I've heard stories about autistic people not talking til they're later but they had been taking everything in and became very smart very quick. Lots of love ❤️
Hi ,i hope ur son is doing well. I hv watched almost every video about autism,every article about autism,i hv used my mobile that much for autism info,that my brain amd eyes gets numb now when i spend a little time on ph. A very heart broken mom is herw.i m a first time mom,i concieved as a miracle wd pcos.always wanted a baby boy.so God gave me a baby boy.i was on 7th sky.as soon my baby turened 3,4 month old i started to feel so many things ,now he is 17 month old.and i m veryyyy sure he is autistic.i dont want more kids now .i m done wd this.i cry every night.he has sleep issues since he born.i want to stop breastfeeding to him .how can i do that.plzzz help me.he wakes up ever 2 hrs at night for mother feed.
Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience, I'm so sorry you feel that way 😔 The best thing I can say is that it gets better. There will always be struggles with both Autistic and non Autistic children. The grass is always greener in the other side. Praying for guidance for you 🩷🩷
@@candidlymish thanku so much for ur kind words.i just woke up,its morning time here.i barely slept 3,4 hrs last night. And its always same condition .i hope his sleep gets better wd time. I hv my nephews nieces,they all are non autistic,very social,intelligent to their age,playful,interactive. And here i m wd my son,who doea not look into his mommy eyes,who doesnt hug me back,who rarely smiles,who is not playful. Aggghhh.i m so broken.
I really like you. Your videos are very real! My son is 2.5 and on the spectrum per his Ped Dr but we are waiting for an official diagnosis which is hard to wait on. Does your son sleep with you? Our son is very hard to get to sleep and rocks back and forth banging hard in his crib which is so bad and we are looking at getting him a “Beddy” bed for special needs toddlers and kids. Thank you for your sweet voice, info and encouragement
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you gained something from my videos. I really need to do an updated video as Tide is 4.5 now and it's been a while since I've put anything up. The sleeping has always been a bit tricky. Tide slept in my bed until his baby sister came along 3 months ago. So we started laying down with him to fall asleep in his own bed, and it would take up to an hour! We eventually threw the towel in 2 months ago and made him put himself to sleep. Amazingly enough he obliged and as long as his brother is on the top bunk, he happily puts himself to sleep. But, he still wakes every single night around 2am and screams to be brought into our bed. Lucky we have a king size bed. He has a weighted blanket but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't really mind having him in bed, I just remind myself that one day he will be grown and all of these sleep problems will be a distant memory. That's the best thing we can do I think!
My baby cousin has HORRIBLE separation anxiety like so bad she’d cry for 40 mins straight red face I get so scared she’s gonna have a panic attack My cousin she’s showing signs of autism and this matches her to a tee just slightly less but she did say her first words normal age n it was like baba or mama then hello stop no my name by 1 those were the words she’d say then now 1 and a half she says hello or hey bye bye rarely she says mommy and daddy now not mama or dada her older sisters name and eww she stopped saying no and stop we tried to get her to say it again but she can’t like she just forgot how tot say it she understands what you’re saying like if I say give me your baba she’ll give it to me and I tried to teach her to point to things and name then she points to her baba and says it if you say drink baba she’ll drink it if you just say baba she’ll point to it and say it and give me baba she’ll give it to you so you have to be specific
I can't remember exactly, but he is 4.5yrs old now and hasn't done it for a long time. His behaviours have changed a lot and for the past few months he has been fixated on lining objects/toys up and creating symmetrical structures/patterns with magnet tiles
My daughter was diagnosed at 17. I wish I had picked up the signs earlier. She figurered it out herself and was diagnosed. She’s doing much better…she’s happy, she’s in art school, has a job and a partner. 😊
Did you tested the "early childhood reflexes" of the child? I have heard, that this can help dealing with autism better. I wonder if there is a correlation.
@@candidlymish, thanks for your answer. Yes, especially Moro Reflex. There are several body exercises you can do to integrate the reflexe (if this reflex ist remaining) or a kinesiologic retreatment.
Hi Mish and Tom you 2 are doing really great. I hope you are both aware that your entire family is neurodivergent. I would elaborate more but RU-vid has deleted my helpful essay 10 times now so I give up 😰
Hi Glen thanks for your comment. I haven't posted a video in soo long, actually kinda gave up on the channel for a bit. Hoping to get motivated to put something else up as we've had another baby and moved since so life has been very busy. I'm curious to know more about your comment, sorry RU-vid has been deleting it!! Can you email me at candidlymish@gmail.com
@@candidlymish will aim to email later today. You can remove your public displaying email address. That sounds very busy, I can't imagine doing any of that right now 😅
What a lovely neurodivergent family. You 2 are parenting really well and your kids are doing great. One thing I noticed is you have lights that flicker 6:21. There is a very strong likelihood that at least one of your family members is being affected by this. Dimming LED lights can often cause flicker and a lot of LEDs flicker as there is no current international regulations in place to stop light manufacturers from making LEDs lights that flicker under 2kHz potentially causing health issues (like migraines, malaise etc) for individuals highly sensitive to "invisible" light flicker (even though they bought a regulation in for fluorescent lights for the same exact issue). As we can only easily consciously see flicker below 60Hz it is often hard to tell when a light is still flickering at a potentially harmful frequency. The easiest way to check if a light is flickering is to hold a phone camera up to a light about 5-10 cm away from the light bulb (not the fixture) and see if (when the camera's auto exposure is enabled which is usually by default) the light will streak/strobe across the phone screen. I personally have found that Philips Eye Comfort range of LEDs do not flicker (unless dimmed). I have also found every brand of smart RGB light I could find flicker, which is extremely bad as they can alternate colour flickering which is even worse for health. Here is an article from the IEEE detailing the issue bio-licht.org/02_resources/info_ieee-pem_2014-09_led-flickering.pdf
Super interesting thank you for your thoughtful observation and advice. Will check the link out soon. We've since moved and don't have the flickering light anymore which is great
My child was so playful and verv interactive since 1year of using doctor Oyalo herbs ….and now he is verbal and also improve in social skills, he can now communicate
This is so helpful. I have an 8-year-old 'high functioning' boy who met all his milestones on time and is even incredibly advanced in some areas. I also have a 15-month-old who is looking much more like your little boy. He's been late with all his milestones, he isn't talking at all, he only started babbling about a month ago and his consonant sounds are very limited. He isn't gesturing or imitating at all. I really appreciate this video as I'm at the stage of coming to accept that this might be what we're looking at.
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free, his speaking and behavior is ok. His herbs is 100% working on speech delay and ASD.
@@nurulamalinazulkifli7668please be hesitant of comments about herbs or other cures for autism. There is no cure for autism and these indiscriminate "herbs" may be harmful for a person to ingest. I am autistic and the only things that help me with my autism are understanding and quiet. This is not to say I speak for everyone ofc, but this is to say that autism is complex and if a cure or even a treatment had been found, it would be well known. Not some random guy peddling it in a RU-vid comment. Things like this concern me very much.
I think you were just describing my daughter. She’s 6 and we just got her official L2 ASD diagnosis. It’s been a long road convincing our pediatrician that something was off. (USA) But the DR. diagnosing her had zero doubts. She has never played with dolls the way others do. With her talking baby dolls, she would open their back, take batteries out, and put them back exactly as they ought all at the age of 20 months. Even today she was pulling her Barbie legs out, pretending to be a surgeon, and pop it back in. ASD is both confounding and amazing.

My son is 2.5, no diagnosis yet, which is extremely annoying. We're in the UK and it seems to take forever here to see a paediatrician to get a diagnosis. I dont know how hard it was in Australia? A lot of things you've mentioned are my son, like the fascination with lights and the biting into food which has always bothered me and made me wonder what it is. Like sandwiches I have to cut into tiny squares which is so hard because he simply won't bite into one. I've ended up giving him little crackers at nursery as they are small enough to plop in his mouth as he tends to do that anyway. He day dreams all the time at mealtimes I have to remind him to feed himself. Just wondering how is your son getting on now? It's so hard to predict how independent they are going to be as they get older it's just so hard. Want to see light at the end of the tunnel
Hi, My son seemed perfectly fine the first year and then around the 18 month mark, symptoms of autism started kicking it. It was mainly in comparison to his older sister and the differences in their milestones. He is now a little over 2.5 years old and every symptom that you described your son having, mine has too. I haven’t seen a specialist just yet, but your video is even more conformation and a lot of help. It can be emotional and overwhelming but it helps to know that there are other moms going through the same experience as myself when it comes to getting help for our children. Thank you for this wonderfully detailed video. ❤

Your son is so sweet! I keep watching these early sign videos because my 2 year old has all the signs except he shows lots of interest in other people and children and doesn't have a language delay. He was constantly verbally stimming until recently, now he can talk a bit and repeats the same "stories" over and over again. Today he was chatting up everyone on the train telling them about his cars (2 identical cars, one in each hand, just holding on to them without playing - another sign I heard). He is an extreme sensory seeker and has lots of problems with food textures (also doesn't want to chew or use a spoon) and wearing hats, shoes, his glasses... The pediatrician who did the evaluation kind of excluded autism because he immediately acknowledged her and asked for cars - but what he does with them ist mostly just watching the wheels spin. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I'm extremely grateful he is learning to talk.
@@Charlotte-ti6oq Thanks for asking :) It's great to come back to these comments and see what I wrote a few months ago. My son has become a great talker by now, likes to sing songs and can even rhyme words. He's often hyperactive and cannot focus so all signs point to ADHD - in my country it isn't diagnosed before age 5 but his pediatrician and occupational therapist are quite sure of it. I'm really glad he made a friend at daycare and since she told him his eyes cross when he doesn't wear his glasses, he's a lot more willing to wear them (it didn't count coming from me LOL). I haven't managed to toilet train him yet and he still struggles with everyday tasks like putting his shoes on, riding a scooter or just feeding himself with a spoon because he gets distracted by everything. Next year when he moves from the toddler group at daycare (1 to 3 year olds) to the bigger group of 3 to 6 year olds, he'll be in a setting with an additional teacher who works with special needs children so he can get some 1 on 1 time. I'm a bit unsure about this because in many aspects he's so "normal" and his friend's Mum was shocked to hear he has special needs status but at the same time he does require a lot more attention than other children his age. I guess everything will become clearer as get gets older.
I trained my son in way week as well . All I did was I was consistent with no diaper at all during the day and trips to bathroom every hour . Also I put some pictures on the wall above toilet starting close the door , kid pulling pants down , then peeing like all the steps and that’s how he started using toilet ! Good luck to you all !
Hi, my son is 20 months old with no eye contact when call his name, always hyper when his favourite cartoon is on and also tip toe walking. I don't know what it is but he always like to climb on things like radiators, tv stand dinning table etc. Always opening kitchen cupboards. When it comes to food he always swallow and very fussy eater. And out of blue he will start laughing his head off... one thing he is good at is he sleeps well...
Sounds a lot like my son at that age! It's a tough age, especially if he is autistic because there is a lot of risk taking behaviour and lack of communication. But don't worry because he will change before you know it and you'll be able to communicate with him more - my son doesn't do any of those things anymore, although he's slightly fussy with food, and he's 3!
He's fully vaccinated but I strongly believe it's got nothing to do with him being Autistic, even before his first vaccination, looking back I can see the earliest hints of Autism. It can't be caused by anything because it's not a disability in my eyes, it's more like a superpower
The study that correlates vaccines with autism was very poorly done and even the researchers have admitted it wasn’t a good study. There were only 12 children in the study, some of which weren’t even autistic, and the study was entirely based on parental observations and reports. The connection between autism and vaccines that so many have was largely caused by tv propaganda from the 70s and 80s.

Thank you! It is important to educate people who have no experience or exposure to autism to help us understand the complexity of behaviors. I appreciate you and your family, we need to be a village that cares for & invests in all children and their families. I can only imagine the fears parents have as they age - who will love and care for my very special child… Respectfully yours.
My 19months daughter still not responding to her name...eye contact problem as well...still not talking...got lots of appointment to check her this month...because we need to know if she's autism...we're worried for her...i can't accept because she's my only child...hope everything is normal...i want her to have a normal life...
Hey Eden. I promise she will be fine, it's always scary when they're young but they change and develop so much. My son has taken leaps and bounds, he is now 3 and thriving. He's talking, so loving, responds to his name now to name a few things. Your daughter will be okay, autism isn't a problem it's part of who she is and all you have to do is nurture it and trust that she will be fine. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need more help candidlymish@gmail.com
Same here. My son is 19 month as well. Barely answers to his name, little no eye contact. I cant get a good pic of him looking at the camera. Also not talking yet.
