I really appreciate your videos! I watched a video of yours for the 1st time about a year and a half ago when I thought that my daughter might be on the spectrum. She was not even 12 months yet at the time. She was later diagnosed at 18 months. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and being an advocate for what neurodiversity looks like! You’re awesome!

Love love love this video. Thank you so much for sharing!! My daughter is almost 5 and has been diagnosed with moderate autism. I’m learning EVERYDAY to understand her. All the best

Ezra has a great cord collection!! Thanks for all the information!

Parents are going to see this and think "oh my goodness my child has autism!" Tip toes, self stimming, being shy, putting things in mouth are all totally typical signs of development. Plus, every child develops at a different pace and many of these things are phases. I'm all for early intervention but I think parents can be....trigger happy when it comes to wanting to diagnosis something right away. Or comparing your two children as a means to labeling and finding that reason as to "why" they're different. They're different because they're different people🤷🏼‍♀️. I really do comment with the most respect as I have experience and passion for individuals with ASD and parents🩵 but this video was somewhat alarming, and I really don't want parents to overreact if their child isn't like the older child, or their child self stims, etc. We all self stim lol (heck we're all on the spectrum). I had to bring this point to the conversation though. I do mean well🩵.

it's so nice to see this as an autistic adult and be able to remember times in my own childhood when i obsessed over the feeling of hair or paintbrushes on my face, and how i slept between my mattress and the wall so frequently as a child.

Awesome Holly and Adam!!!!

One thing to note for parents with girls is that they present differently to boys. My son was developing normally until 18 months. Talked early but then started gesturing instead of talking and started lined things up. He also constantly chews things, he is a prolific drawer and could read and write early. My older daughter was flagged for ADHD when my son was diagnosed but when we went through the testing they instantly asked how long she had an accent. Apparently this was a symptom no one picked up on, all the sensory issues though we missed like not liking nails cut, hair brushed or not liking any tooth paste flavour all signs we missed. We also missed that she was using her intelligence to mask problems she couldn't work out. She read and wrote early but the masking was the main thing with her. She would hold it all together all day but lose it at home because masking and overthinking all day was exhausting. She also mimics people when she doesn't know what to do in a situation. My youngest is also showing signs but like her sister and her brother is reading and talking early. She is showing signs of both of my older kids. She lines up things like my son and collects random things and sleeps with them a bit like how you had pictures of your son. She plays with toys by grouping them but then walks away rather than playing with them. I also find random things in random places like socks etc.

Great detailed video. You have a beautiful family 💕 💞

Amazing video and so helpful to see varying levels within your fam - and those differences…

God bless your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing this, it was really informative :) I love how you showed us the comparisons between the behaviors and the levels of autism present and made the point that some of the behaviors may also be exhibited mildly in neurotypical kids. Bless you and your lovely family

My son would run or gallop as we called it back and forth through the house all the time when he was little. He didn't sleep well so he'd do it late at night. We lived in a mobile home park at the time and our neighbors thought their house was haunted😂 He's 18 now and still does it sometimes but only a few laps at a time.

I was completely touches by your video and your bravery to approach the issue. May God help you take Care of your kids.

Truly appreciate this video. Thank you

I think this is an excellent video especially for those who cringe at the thought that their child may be autistic. As a teacher we shldnt talk much we simply hv to send videos to those in denial. I'm proud of you. You took everything in stride and can teach us..❤❤❤

Hey guys, absolutely love this video! Its spot on! I was wondering if you guys have looked into verbal apraxia which is when there's difficulty with the motor speech production. My nephew who has autism, I believe, also has verbal apraxia, though its a bit hairy to distinguish because both conditions make speech difficult. Like is it more severe autism/ nonverbal vs less severe asd with verbal apraxia. But ofc its possible to have both and with therapy more geared towards the apraxia (sometimes they use tools in the mouth so they know how to move their tongue/lips) it possibly could help!

my grandson hates taking pictures and comes out trying to run away or looking down on all of them. He is seven and I'm sure he has autism. I hope my son and daughter in law get him the help he needs. Thank you for the video. it was very helpful.

Your family is awesome, currently going through the process of getting my 2 and a half year old assessed, we can relate so much so your videos because my son is a perfect blend between both Ezra and Simon and after watching so many of your videos I suspect an outcome of level 2 autism but ill leave that for the professionals to decide when the times right but I wouldn't change him for the world.

Sorry, this is the same person again but I am happy to know that there are different levels of autism my grandson. I believe is more on the mild side like Simon but I’m very happy that you’re sharing all this information. Thanks again

May God make things easy and happy for you and your family.... and God bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Holly and Adam just an add on I guess from the tight spaces reference, do Ezra and/or Simon crave compression like with a weighted blanket or vest? I just mention this as it is also another atypical sign. Anyway, it was a great bullet point overview of what is an incredibly complicated and wide ranging subject. I think your complete family unit is awesome and that is how God created y’all. You are such amazing, caring and patient parents.

Thanks for your videos. I have a 9YO autistic daughter, and I'm watching your videos to see if there are any signs of autism in her two younger brothers (I'll have to put in a concerted effort to test and observe them). However, what I find striking is how many of the signs I remember doing as a small child (I have some very early memories, including stimming with my mother's hair on my face, rubbing my face on her rabbit fur coat, and rubbing my face on the wool of my sheepskin - even now I tend to stim by "beard stroking" whether I'm bearded or shaven). I haven't been diagnosed, but out of curiosity, in the last few days I've done some online tests, and every one of them points to needing to be tested by a professional. If only 40+ years ago there was the awareness of ASD as there is now! Anyway, apparently, one of the things my mother would do to occupy my mind as a very young child was to stick a piece of adhesive tape to one of my fingers, and it would keep me occupied for quite a while, taking it off one finger, only to find it stuck to another. Apparently, I was a very easy child to raise, which resonates with what you've said in at least one video. The info you're giving has turned out to be just as useful for a man in his late 40s as it is for children. What an unexpected surprise!

My baby girl cried a lot. She did not bond with me. She hold her ears around the slightest noise. Eats only dry food . She just starts to copy words at 2 1/2. But uses them outside of context to try and have conversation. However she has super memory. . Very clumsy with her fingers. Obsessed with water book and pencil. She either put toys in a straight line or stock then on each other like a tall building. Love small spaces. Don't engage socially .hits her face and head repeatedly when she is angry.. don't like noise . Etc

my son never was a container baby-he hated the usual bouncy toys and walkers and his car seat, right from the hospital, but he sleeps between my husband and i and he sleeps all night. He is a sensory seeker for sure and I would say that 7/10 times hes not looking at the camera, either because of his autism or because of moms excellent camera skills!

My older daughter of my two girls learned to mask at a very young. But she didn’t walk until she was 14 months old. It was the same for my youngest child (also a girl) too. All three of my children are not neurotypical, but all at different levels. My older daughter didn’t actually get diagnosed until she was in her late 20’s and it was because she was curious about if she was. One huge indicator for us was when she needed to complete drivers training in high school. One instructor was so annoyed with her because she was unable to follow his vague instructions while in the vehicle. It took him referring her to a special needs teacher who also taught the driver’s training course to work with my daughter one on one. She finally was able to grasp the concepts she needed. My biggest reason for watching this video is that I’m an early childhood educator. I work with children 12 months to 3 yrs old, and whenever I bring up concerns with my students to my admin they want to explain away my concerns. I just know the sooner I can get my students help the better they will progress. Thanks for this video.

Thank You for this info. My sisters grandson was diagnosed with Autism. He is 3 1/2 yrs. You just showed me that no eye contact, not smiling for th camera was associated with autism. I didn’t know. His twin brother will be tested soon. He had been trying to eat wood and plastic. Both when they were just walking would walk on their tippy toes. I think that was a sign. The boy with autism is being schooled threw the state. I will continue to follow you so I may understand autism. Thank You and God Bless you and your family.

My son had some of the autistic traits but not all of them (for example, he was very obsessed with items or activities to a point that it's painful to watch). There wasn't as much of awareness of autism when he was a toddler. He did have a lot of problems communicating and socializing with people growing up. He got in trouble at school when he didn't listen to instructions when he was little. His psychiatrist when he was in late teen didn't think he was autistic. Just extremely introverted and had other issues. He was diagnosed with ADHD later when he was in his mid 20s. It was difficult and required a lot of patience dealing with him. It is God's grace that he is a healthy, intelligent and responsible young man now in his late 20s. I can't imagine how difficult it is to deal with multiple autistic kids (and kid with ADHD).

omg the mommy’s hair is on point 😂 my daughter might be on the spectrum but hasn’t been diagnosed yet since she’s under 2 but we already have an idea that she might be. She still is unresponsive to her name and she absolutely LOVES my hair in particular 🥲

Nice videos! I appreciate how you talk about the topic in a healthy way! ❤ I am also autistic, but officially diagnosed as an adult. In France, we are late in terms of autism diagnosis and proper knowledge. In my family, we are 3 out of 4 siblings on the spectrum. My brother and I are 2e, my sister has also ADHD (ADHD came first) and my other brother is supposedly NT ("supposedly" because for small things, we share similarities). Now we are all adults, still with challenges at times but what I can say is that... This idea of light/heavy autism, is BS. Especially if used to predict how much one can achieve or learn "despite autism" looking at a child. Often, development can be surprising. According to my mother, I was the most socially challenged at the age of your kids. She had to fight to keep me at school in early childhood. All you describe, except the physical development and independence was similar to your eldest son. Today, I have a job and live by myself, though socially, I am still a work in progress. For my other siblings with ASD? Soon leaving home (one working as a cook and the other on his way to study computer sciences).

Thank you for sharing your family time with us. Appreciate the information ❤

Walking on tippy toes, wearing his clothes inside out, only liking certain fabric feels, and the list goes on. It's been a wonderful adventure, and I've learned a whole new "language". He is almost 13 now.

Thank you for this video. Have you tried to do some heavy metal detoxification? It really helped me.

They say that, on average, a baby/toddler will begin pointing between 9 and 15 months. I have two daughters (one almost 21 months old and the other 5 years old). My 5-year old began consistently pointing at 16.5 months and my toddler began consistently pointing at 18.5 months, both of which were kind of late. I’m now wondering if they learned from me because I pointed to things to find what they wanted or whether that was just their time to hit that milestone.

Thank you! I knew our 4th daughter was less neurotypical than her sisters but the doctor was not overly concerned. She would not eat food. Only nurse. By one year she only ate cheerios and bananas. Nothing else besides nursing. She was late with milestones. Crawled unusual. Walked at 16.5 months finally. She would rather race around in circles in a trike in the house, pace on top toes or line toys up. If she “played” it was often reciting what the characters in a movie did (Cars) for months. She was slow and or late with scissors, handwriting, catching a ball, riding a bike (barely & briefly at age 9) tying shoes (13) showering (13) etc. she is gifted and seemed to learn to mask early. She was missed a few times and finally just before turning 16 last year she was DX something I knew when she was 8 months old. Because of that she got no extra support outside of me. I was blessed to stay home 23 of last 27 years raising our girls. She was blessed to only do 3 days pre-k when the administration sd something was very wrong; she screamed for three hours straight each day! So I began homeschooling. She now does online high school this past school year for 10th grade. I had to write my own curriculum to work around her autism as well as anxiety and ADHD. I wish more people knew the signs and symptoms and doctors were giving more support early on so that people could feel as comfortable as possible. I could go on and on. I feel certain I am on the spectrum too. But at age 45 a psychiatrist said I couldn’t be because I looked at her and I was too old to “help” anyways! It helps to understand yourself & kiddos so you and they do not have to conform to societies boxes and can be comfortable living your way. I do poor with loud sounds, certain textures of clothes or food and strobing lights. I am learning to integrate vs isolate more and adapt new ways like I will be bringing cotton balls AND ear plugs to the first movie we have seen in 13 years tmrw!

Hi I found your page bc I’m going to be living in an RV with my kiddos.. (6 of them yikes) and myself. I am in awe! I also have one autistic child so far. He’s 4, non verbal level 2 but needs to reevaluated at age 6. My kids are 13,8,5,4,2,1 and I’m going through divorce so my mother in renting me her Rv she has in her house. Was looking at ideas on how to compartmentalize and make it easier to live. Love your page and your kiddos are adorable. I agree with the listed things you mentioned. Watching some of it made me think of my JJ 🥲🫶🏻 thank you for sharing! Totally subscribed!

Thank you for this, I have 3 years old daughter and i have had some suspicions from her behaviours and took her to 2 different psychiatrists and 2 pediatrician until she was 2 and half years old. None of them addressed her symptoms as autism seriously. Only one psychiatrist said it could be ADHD but very litlle chance still. She still have poor eye contact and bad sleep. Altough she improves her social skills, she is still not like neurotypical kids i assume. There is still a question mark on my mind and i keep searching about it. Your channel is really helpful. I compare my girl to your Simon. I think my daughter's traits is even milder than Simon but Simon's eye contact may be better than my daughter.

What a precious Family :D

My now 52 year old son who will remain anonymous was treated in all types of situations including residential. Never diagnosed appropriately. Many similar examples of the condition but our unique one was the Tupperware Shapo one. He could never fit pieces in the holes without much help and crying. I had to take it away and put it up. Discrimination is bad for our poor children.😢

Hola tengo un hijo de 5 anos diagnosticado con espectro autismo su pediatra es de Oklahoma city, mi hijo camino al los 13 meses pero empezamos a notar que caminaba de puntitas , se paraba frente al televisor y lo llamábamos por su nombre y el no volteaba como si no escuchará, después lo lleve con su pediatra en el estado de Texas donde vivíamos y me mandó con un especialista pediátrico, no pudimos verla ya que ella murió del covid, también mi hijo no comía muchos alimentos solo los tocaba con sus manitas y si le gustaba probaba, ahora en Oklahoma me están ayudando mucho con el , la maestra dice que es un nino muy inteligente está con otros ninos regulares, ahora come diferentes tipos de comida , le gusta mucho el huevo y el elote , Cherry's, gelatina, naranja , mi pregunta es 7 ahead como Ezra y Simon tienen su rutina para dormir? Gracias!

Love your big family. I get stressed a lot with my 6 year old girl that has autism 😢 I try to be SO PATIENCE but it’s hard for me 😭 but I know we can do it ❤

Thank you for this very interesting video. When our grandson was two years old our daughter started saying he was autistic and we were thoroughly confused. She claimed the doctors were suggesting this. They supposedly said he was "behind in his speech" but he spoke clearly and in complete sentences. As a matter of fact, we thought he was advanced in his speech. (We have three children and I used to work in daycare, in the toddler room, so I've heard many children learn to speak.) Then she said he "wouldn't climb on things", but when he came to our house he would run right outside, climb the slide and go down it all by himself. The last "symptom" she gave was that he didn't like being sprayed in the face with water. Our answer was, "Who in the world likes to be sprayed in the face with water?!" I also wanted to ask HOW did you find out he doesn't like being sprayed in the face, because she tends to be on the cruel side, but didn't ask because she was already upset that we were challenging her. A few months later she completely cut ties with us for about two and a half years because we kept saying we didn't believe he was autistic. We didn't see the grandkids that entire time. I guess I should point out that we had already suspected she had Munchausen disorder until she had her daughter, then suddenly all her problems miraculously left, but there was always something "wrong" with our granddaughter. After her son was born, both she and her daughter were fine, other than our granddaughter having ADHD--which she definitely does, just as her mother, and grandfather do--but our grandson supposedly had/has all sorts of things wrong with him, which gives us reason to believe she might have Munchausen by Proxy. Our grandson had/has NONE of these behaviors you listed. He just turned six two days ago and he does have severe emotional issues and is very violent, but their home is also incredibly toxic. We've only recently learned just how toxic. (They've only been back in our lives for the last year, and we've been cut out again for communicating with her ex-boyfriend.) Last month she left the children with their father, who is just as terrible to the kids, full-time and moved into her own place without them. Before she moved I was on the phone with her while she was driving and she was telling me about the new apartment she found. She said that she told the kids' father that she did not want her son to be there, ever. I asked what he said, and she said "He said 'I don't want him either.'" Then it occurred to me that the kids were in the car. I asked her if our grandson was in the car at that moment and she paused for a long time and said, yes but he's on his tablet. (Which means nothing, of course. I believe he heard her.) I just found out from her ex-boyfriend (with whom she had a third child) that she regularly told the older kids they were "stupid" and "worthless", and would slap them in the face all the time. She tried to get CPS to take our grandson (I heard this directly from her), but the father is not willing to give up full custody. Because of the serious emotional issues both kids have, most of the family rarely sees them. Both my husband and I are currently battling cancer and going through chemo (me for the past three years, my husband for the past two years) so there's no way we can take them. Other family members are not in a position to take them, either. As terrible as it sounds, the best thing for these kids right now would be to get away from both parents and go into a good foster home with loving people. It's a very heartbreaking situation. Thankfully her youngest child is in the custody of her father. She just turned one last month and is very happy and well-adjusted. We will do everything we can to make sure our daughter never gets custody of her, or at this point, even unsupervised visitation. Your video has solidified my opinion that my grandson is not autistic. Now I can only pray that he and our granddaughter are rescued from the terrible environment they're in and get the help and love they need before they're damaged beyond repair.

My grandson is Autistic we noticed it Early and his pediatrician also noticed something was going on....He will be 3 in December and he is the love of my life so sweet he loves to play and he runs all day his favorite thing is a spatula it is in his hands until he falls asleep...And he likes to line up items that are the same size and color...But if you put a toy down with different shapes and sizes he can match them perfectly....He only eats certain things I try with him but he will gag...I feel for him because I love to cook and he is in the kitchen with mom or me when we cook that's where the spatula comes in....lol hugs to your little guys...

Thank you for sharing this. My grandson is showing a few of these signs now and he will be 3 in Dec. Definitely going to share this with my daughter .

I’m just curious if all the children are up to date on their shots according to the cdc vaccination schedule? Did you follow the alternative vaccine schedule or CDC schedule? Thanks

Being a mom of child with ASD 1, I wish I knew these signs sooner. My daughter was diagnosed at age 17… looking back at all of these signs 🙈 she had all of them! I didn’t know what to look for, but I also just parented according to her needs. My poor girl suffered with masking for years . I’m happy to say that today, she no longer masks and we both have a better understanding of her needs. Thank you for this ♥️

I am loving this video ot help me to understand a lot about my two kids that are on the ASD. I love the idea that you and your family is willing to share with us.. ❤❤

Great thumbnail!

So I know there are many “textbook” signs. Here’s something of my daughter that is not really thought of. She’s 4 and still to this day can’t process she needs to look up to rinse the shampoo from her hair. I’ve tried everything.I can get her to look up by saying look at the sky for a split second but she immediately looks back down making the water flow into her face even more. She hates water in her face. So it’s quite the struggle because now she refuses to bath since she knows water will be in her face. We have a little duck hat we just started using, had it for a while but she JUST started letting us put things on her head/face. It makes bath time longer but I’m not sure what else to do? I often wonder if other parents of autistic children struggle with this??

Thank you for making this list. I’m not a medical doctor but I think Simon issues autistic at all. I think he is just super chill and a cool kid. Also, Idk if I missed it but is he verbally?

The problem with my daughter is... Therapist I took her to kept saying she was delayed because of being in an orphanage for two years. So we didn't get a real diagnosis until after 7 yrs old. They said she was delayed ... That was it. Grrr. I really thought she did have it ... One doctor said her head was smaller...but never said much more. 🤦😡 Finally in '21 we had her tested and it did show high functioning autism.

I never thought this until my son was in year 3 and his teacher said to me then i picked up signs of it wouldnt change him for the world and my mum dad have always thought i have it 2 but when i was younger autisim wasnt known as much ❤

You sure him eating crayons and markers isn't pica? I've been eating chalk and cornstarch for as long as I can remember. It was a constant struggle for my mom. I'm iron deficient anemic.

Sending love and prayers from the UK 🇬🇧 God Bless 👏💜👍🙏🤗♿️ #ForeverPromotingPositiveDisabilityAwareness

2 with autism. You must be very busy Mom. All these different words that express their challenged. Good luck. Hard work.

I showed some of these when I was 2. My dad just found some old videos a couple of years ago. I did a lot of side eyes and not looking at the camera and obsession with just one object. I would also stim by rocking and putting my hands up in fists when I was happy.

Autism too often is missed by parents and pediatricians, let alone EI professionals. I’m an EI professional for over 25 years. ASD has better outcomes with early detection and early treatment. I hope she keeps educating and if parents are concerned, have a discussion. Too often, there is no discussion and the child is the one who misses out.

My son is three and I’ve always known but the doctors tried to tell me that he just a toddler but it’s to a point now where I know for a fact now im trying to figure all this out so I can learn to treat it at his comfort! Ty for this video it helped so mich

Try pine needle tea or tincture. Contains suramin which is supposed to help. Natural products won't cause harm.

My son is 2.7 years old, and got diagnosed with autism lately. Though i cant find clearly any of those symptoms.. he has struggles with speech and a bit of repetitive behavior. I wonder if that means that he has mild autism? The doctor didn’t speak about ASD levels with us yet..

Can you do a morning routine or a night time routine were you film Mark and the other child including you two?

I have a brother with autism that it is hard for him to communicate and interact with other people.

My son hasn't been evaluated yet, but I'm certain he's on the spectrum. He has all the signs for a level 1-3, plus his dad is high functioning autistic. Anyway, i was wondering how I can get my son to listen to me (specifically, outside of the house). My son thinks it's funny to run towards traffic, and I really don't want him doing that, obviously. He's too smart for strollers and child leashes. Do you have any tips to help?

Fascinating, thank you! I highly suspect I'm on the spectrum as well. I don't think I used to eat things that aren't food because my sense of taste doesn't seem to be that strong but I definitely had to smell everything! I had to go to the hospital once because I inhaled a lego.^^

I work with downs kids frequently and they truly are the most beautiful souls on this planet.

Such a wonderful family. I don't know what level my Autism would be classified as but I had my diagnostic a bit late. I should've been diagnosed at 7yo but not much was known about it during 1990 so I slipped through the net with a fair few others, I didn't get my offial diagnostic until I was 14yo. Back then, I was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome (a term not really used now as everything is just classed as Autism). Due to one incident at work, I had to get reassessed as my work place didn't belieeve I was Autistic. I can't remember what the doct said but he confirmed my Autism but I can't remember if he said I went from Autism actual to Autistic trait or Autistic trait to Autistic actual.

Nice video :)

I know quite a few people that stem with cords or a shoestring or some type of rope stuff. So that is and could be a big sign.

Am here worried my baby developed speech at 1year 2 months then she lost speech after a month ...she is now 2years 6 months non verbal tries to respond to her name at times doesn't like crowds doesn't like other kids,gets irritated with some sounds (closes her ears and hides) am very worried

Thank you for sharing. I genuinely just wanted to learn more about autism. I have a son who has epilepsy with a speech delay. Nobody has mentioned autism as a possibility. He does have some of the same traits and I have a lot of people in my epilepsy support group whose children with epilepsy are also on the autistic spectrum.

Thanks for being transparent. All of your children are beautiful.

My kids hate getting their pictures taken I only have a few good pictures of them we got a few this weekend for my wedding in there suits together but alot of the pictures are missing and videos of them as babies we think they got miss placed or stolen we have a bunch of storage units one of them got broken in to but I wouldn't of have put pictures of the kids in a unit like that I hope I find them soon

Hi. I would see the symptom of being reserved when he does not point to the cake, but once the instruction is given out or asking him, he is able to point. The reason of pointing has to be read carefully, pointing because of informing the only you to see, or pointing for everyone to see or pointing means want it? As in this case, everyone is knowing or sees the cake, this is not the exact situation where pointing is necessarily. He is unsure of the cake is for showing purpose since everyone see it. Though being reserved is more appropriate on adult. As for the tight space on how people sees, I would say is a comfort place. Where sensory stuff can be relaxed. Since he is small, we see it as a tight space. If he is an adult, we called it a room. Who wants to live in a big hall or stadium anyway? In Tokyo or New York or Hong Kong, it is a tight space. Hahaha.

My 17yo will find every right space and sit…. Found him in a laundry hamper the other day. ;) it made me smile. Haven’t found him in the laundry in a few years.

It could be linked to autism, but PICA(eating non food items) is an entirely diffrent medical issue/diagnosis so i think it may be that

Ezra is such a beautiful baby ❤

My spectrum son is almost 21 and still has most of these behaviors.

agree... u r a great mother.

Well my step son has autism eats what arent food even pills he’s dig up from trash and eats, he speaks few words some of them understandable some not and he’s only 5 years old. Don’t sleep much and always fighting with my kids throwing things like rocks. But unfortunately here doctors doesn’t see anything wrong with him. He can’t even cross street because he ran into car straight

Hi this is Robin again. So you said that I could ask any question even if you thought, or I thought it was going to be a bit too personal. I was wondering if you know why autism happens.

I think he pointed out the same shoes with his feet he was pointing with his feet. But it’s cool that his brother is helpful as well.

My daughter wont ever look at the camera i started noticing her autism very early on shes 6 now

Hi, I like your videos, can I help spread autism around to show everyone that everyone is not does Nero. Typical the reason I know this because I have people sometimes talking about my disability and how I do things and how I stand and tell me to stop steaming I told them I can’t help how I do things I have autism even that school people tell me to stop steaming and stop fidgeting

Out of the 12 signs, my son just had one of them and that is head shaking/hand shaking. Is he autistic?

It really pains me every time i think my daughter has autism. I feel a part of me dies whenever i accept the fact that my daughter has this condition. How do i cure her? What did i do wrong so my baby has to suffer from this? How my baby live in this world after her parents are gone? Could she live well by her own? What’s her future? Could she have a loving family of her own? And her kids?…These questions are always looming in my head right now and they make me quite depressed sometimes. Also, i feel the need to not waste any moments to try to find a way to improve her condition, to help her learn something to at least catch up with other children of her age. However, my daughter has just had a diagnosis of high risk for autism for about 3 weeks, so i’m totally unprepared for this and i feel i’m slipping my daughter’s gold time every time i am out of new ideas or solutions. She’s 20 months old by now. Nevertheless, i feel more relaxed now thanks to your sharing. Even in the scenario i do not want, i know that i have to learn more to understand her and that my baby is special. As long as it does not harm herself or anybody, it just her unique way to express and regulate. I need to comprehend that and help her stand on her own. I need to love her more.

In the cover photo what category is that under ? My son does that and he is 7 months

Do you have videos on teaching toddler how to point?

Oh my God ! My 7 years daughter behaves exactly like this. Please help me out on how to manage her

I love how you guys say "Needs a little more support" rather than "He has less abilities" or "He needs help at all times." It shows us, the viewers, that Autism isn't a disability, it's just an extra ability. That's a message that really needs to be spread, and you guys are doing a great job at that! It makes me happy that Simon and Ezra have parents that support them very well :D

Oh my God! My daughter of 7 years, behaves exactly like this. Please help me out on how to manage her

Wow great video? Can you tell me how you’ve trained the boys how to point using the index finger?

My grandson Ezra is autistic too, still waiting on the level but we think he's level 3.

Omg im pretty sure me, my wife, child, brothers, mom, dad, friend, boss, coworkers and family dog are autistic!! Thank you for the signs!

This looks like typical child development, all kids develop differently. You look for something wrong you will always find it.

My son did or does none of these 12 signs and still got diagnosed with Autism only because he was not talking in sentences by the age of 4. Now he’s almost 5 and talks just fine. Not sure what happened to his autism, I don’t know. It’s gone?🤷🏻‍♀️

How do you teach your son to point? My son point only when he saw numbers because I teach him numbers by pointing it. So when he saw the clock he points it and also the calendar. Pls give tips much appreciated 🥰

Finally a video with real autism, not just people who need a diagnosis for evertyhing.

Sa o luam de la inceput. Vreti sa imi oferiti ceva special,cu determinarea unui model de diagnostic si nu imi place,nici nu sunt mai bine. Iar promisiunea este ca eu cer,eu imi fac destinul,ca oricare om liber

Odd the whole catching him eat that. Idk my eyes are always close to my kid I also only have one kid. I feel this video helped me a lot. Ty for sharing. I think ur an amazing mom.

I am a nanny and I am about 70% sure that the 3 year old I am taking care of is on the spectrum… she is verbal but doesn’t keep eye contact super great, she flaps her hands and opens her mouth very wide into an O shape when she’s hyper focused or super excited, she is very scared of changes, she is scared of any unknown noises even if she is the one to make the noise by dropping something, lacks socialization (she prefers to play alone or with only her few trusted adults), very hyperactive behavior especially little bursts of running around
