Loved this 😊 I love watching old classics with my two young boys also!
@@laurafitz3868 same here 😀
I bet u are so proud of your children
We are , they both have challenges but on a whole their both doing so well, thanks for watching 👍🏾
Children with autism can be calm in school and let out there stress at home
That’s what Matthews does , masks in school and unravels at home
Matthew reminds me of myself. So proud of how well you are doing in school Matthew. I see Matthews need to decompress when he's home for me it's the delayed processing that frustrates me because I feel like I am not getting the response I expect.
Yes it’s hard for him to, we need to find some middle ground to gaming somehow as that’s what isn’t helping , he masks all Day in school which we understand as it’s a way to fit in but then when he comes home it all unravels normally whilst gaming ! Certainly don’t want to punish him playing his friends etc but there is a fine line , thanks for your comment Nathan
@@AutismTwinsUs is there something he enjoys watching that isn't video games like RUclips
@@AutismTwinsUs if you have an area Matthew can go after school that is quiet it could really help him decompress after school not the living room kinda thing.
Yes normally May for school offers. Doesn't give a lot of time for finding new schools! Thanks for the update 😊
So Amy was right 😂 god knows what we’d do if they say they don’t have a spot for him 😂
We've just completed both EHCP reviews for both the twins here too, and named schools for next September. My understanding is that kids with EHCP's find out their allocated schools when their finalized EHCP is released by PCC which by 15th February next year at the latest. After that you need to decide whether to appeal within two months, and participate in a mediation process, then it goes to a tribunal if it hasn't been resolved, and PCC must go along with the finding of the tribunal. The problem is that right now the tribunal process is taking until after school start in September, so some kids have to stay at home or go to a temporary setting while it's all decided.
@jeremyjohnson1685 George’s school goes strait through to 18 so he’s fine, Matthew’s choice is just a mainstream so presume we will have to wait until May , the amount of kids I know who’ve had to be home while authorities sort out their placements is a joke Jeremy, such a poor system. ALL children have a legal right to an education
@@AutismTwinsUs I don't think so, it should be named on his EHCP so out by February? We're similar to you, as usual, M is in a mainstream primary having transitioned from a SEN space within the school so mum has named a mainstream secondary in central Plymouth which he should get automatically as he has an EHCP and it's a feeder school for his primary, but V's current school is a primary only special school so he has to move next September. His mum has put down an independent special school which has very limited places, plus it's quite expensive and PCC aren't going to be keen to place him there so watch this space!
I have to chat to PIAS tomorrow anyway, will ask them.
Hi, This is a wonderful video of your boys! It's always hard when we have difficulty's with one loved one or two to get through. And to know this is going to be not only the rest of our lives doing it but also the person that has the disorder. Prayer and inner strength is all we can ask for at these times. You have such a wonderful family still. Hold onto each other tight. And keep those little moments close to you! New Subscriber Thumbs Up

Do not find lost toys. Redirect their energy into finding their own stuff.
We really do try , for a severely autistic child with limited communication it’s difficult, we’ve had to speak for him his whole life effectively. We do actively make him look himself. Agree with you we do , thanks for watching 👀 x

It’s been a while since I’ve seen your vids and your boys have grown up so much. My son is now getting his license and is almost 17. Funny when he was your boys age I didn’t think this would have ever happen. He is studying auto mechanics and has passed his cert 2 so well I’m so proud of him. It’s taken so much therapy, blood, sweat and tears but I’m saying this to give you hope that things can change and things do get better. It’s so very tough when they are young. You guys are in the thick of it that’s for sure.
Thank you, all we can do is try our best. Sounds like your son is doing amazing!

Thank you Linda x
Also; whenever we get more toys ie Christmas, we have got into the routine of out with old in with new. If my kids haven’t played with something for more than a year, I tell them (don’t ask them) that we’re giving it away or selling it to be able to afford new things. I’ve found that with slightly autistic girls, the less choices the easier on them. Signposting too. Tell them a few days in advance that your going to have a tidy up and they will be easier about the changes
We often clear out, we have to do it when George isn't aware, but we do it in a way that we only remove things we know he isn't using. We will put them in the shed and when we know he isn't looking for it we donate it 😊
@@xelaolive4181 George has been asking for Christmas 🎄 for about 3 months , we do regularly clear out as amy has commented , your dead right though , we’re trying the best we can
I have twin 10 year old girls. It’s been a battle with the whole loosing stuff and I have usually been the one to find whatever’s missing. However, more recently (don’t know how old your boys are) they moan about loosing something and come and ask me to help look but these days I’ve found these two things help 1) if there is time and no one is rushing out the door I don’t even tell them to try and find it. I basically say right step away from what you’re doing. There is no point trying to find it because most likely they have put it somewhere and forgotten If the child keeps getting upset at the lost thing throughout the day then firstly I make them retrace what they were doing. At some point someone will remember something and then hey presto, they find it themselves (if it’s that important) 2) if it’s rushed then I make sure the kids stop what their doing and promise to help find it later. By the time we’re home, they’ve forgotten BUT if they are adamant I follow through with promise and help Also, with autism, put things in clearly labelled boxes etc and ensure the kids help you go through their toys and organise them. This reduces the likelihood of loss and helps them to regain control-that’s what they like, in my experience Hope this helps
Hey, so the boys are 10. George will often lose things (he knows where it is a lot of the time) but we get screamed at to find it. So we get him involved as much as we can. We organise the toys regularly to make it easier to find things, but he will mix it up almost immediately. Everything is a learning curve, we are first time parents, to twins, to twins with additional needs, and sometimes we do what we have to to survive the day ❤
@@xelaolive4181 thanks for your honest suggestions, every bit of knowledge will help us all so thanks for the time in commenting x

@@xelaolive4181 same age as ours then , 10! Some great hints I’m sure we will be able to try and implement, thanks for your suggestions, we do have everything clearly organised, issue we have is George mainly will see a scene up with toys somewhere and lose certain todays in transit while setting a scene somewhere in the house , a lot of the time he does know where they are but thinks by shouting FIND he can sit there and watch us search which is something we’re obviously trying to discourage, thanks so much for your suggestions tho I’m sure they will be helpful for us and others reading the comments, Adam

Buying them more toys is doing them a huge disservice. I'm 100% sure if you minimalised the toys and only bought new ones on special occasions, things would greatly improve for everyone. Parenting is the hardest thing we'll ever do. More toys or possessions is never the answer.
We absolutely agree, we often go through and donate, throw away unused or broken toys. We try to keep a one in, one out rule. We are trying our best to navigate meltdowns due to wanting toys and don't constantly buy new. I don't have the money if anything, so George knows he doesn't get get what he wants just because he kicks off. It can become so difficult at times to know when to give in and when to fight the battles. We just take it a day at a time 😊
@@hollyhodgson7253 we really have tried to minimise what we bring in , it difficult with boys who have a very short attention span and adhd where he’s craving different things all the time. Sometimes toys sometimes food etc , just hard to give them what they NEED to what they want , we are trying to do our best
Delayed processing causes me to feel like I am clicking but constantly loosing it's not by a lot but the slightest delay can really make video games hard. You didn't get as frustrated and struggling with emotional regulation ie. Meltdowns which is what is happening. The worst situation I am not going into the details online because it's worse than I am describing but I was refusing to go to bed until I won and fighting going to sleep. My brother had sleeping issues my mom tried to tell me not to wake him up so I started screaming to wake him up because of jealousy in the attention he was getting mixed with video game meltdown. I have thought about getting video games but realize that I have too many meltdowns over it and just can't have it available all the time. I can go and play a friend but alone it's a recipe for meltdowns. Matthew I can totally relate brother with much more severe autism and the meltdowns with games.
I hope Matthew gets to the point where he recognises that he needs to come off it instead of it being a constant battle. I say to him it can't be enjoyable being mad at a game all the time 😕
@@amycannan914 if his processing speed is behind unfortunately he's going to struggle more than the typical person and if he has meltdowns which it sounds like he is having because he feels like he is hitting x one moment but really he's half a second behind. He's enjoying it by getting away and recharging his social battery. If I am trying to recharge and what I am using to recharge won't work good luck everyone.
I wish I could share what I went through when I was 9 so younger than Matthew but I am not doing it for the whole world to see the incident with my brother got worse than I am describing

Change can be really hard can’t it some times
Thanks guys , I’m sure you guys are fully aware and understand, hope your all ok Adam
Funny story for you. Me as an autistic adult a few years back I use to something similar with the spinning but on a work chair at home. One day spun so fast I lost balance went to the floor. I didn't get hurt rather I was laughing I thought it was fun. When it comes to transitions I experience something similar but not exact. For example I struggle till this day with change. I hate it strongly when there is a change that happens. But I also found out that if you tell me about the change in advance and you allow me time to process usually I'm more inclined to accept change and go alone with it. It's also issues with adaptation. If I'm used to something and you were to tell me to do it differently well the new way is something I've never done before, I don't understand, and so I'm scared of it. And that fear is usually always one of a few reasons why I have hesitation and strong aversion to changes. I know it's not the exact same as transitions but it's someone what similar so i just wanted to mention it! Great video! Good information!
Thanks for your reply and experience, we do try to prepare George for any changes, it also helps him when he’s informed, so think after being off school for 6 weeks to then going back to routine will always take some time , since the changes it’s been much better this week
@@AutismTwinsUs Sounds good that things have gotten better that's good to hear. And I completely understand. I can understand this challenge. It isn't easy. But it sounds like you are doing the best possible for George and that's good to hear. I've been catching up on some of the videos I've missed as I've been away from RUclips for a bit. I was taking a Mental Health rest. It's good to hear from you. I hope you and your family are doing well!
Hope your ok 👌 we all need a break now and then , it’s good to reset
@@AutismTwinsUs I am much better now. Thank you! But I was struggling for a while . Thankfully I have a good support system around me. It allows me to get help fast when needed! 👍
What is that spinning chair? How cool! It also trains the brain in my opinion
If your in the Uk Amy bought it from The Range , they have in store and online , approx £154 currently, you can get them on Amazon too , type in Gonge Carousel. It massively helps George with his vestibular sense
George would be amazing at Gymnastics!
He’d pick the highest obstacle though 😳
Very nice bedroom toyr Mr.Adam! 😅
Thanks! 😃
Transitions are hard. Kids get noisy at the end of the day and loud along with everything is a rush to pack up and head home.
Probably George’s most challenging thing is transitioning too and from anywhere tbh, we just have to work on it
@@AutismTwinsUs that was my first sign of autism being at the table for lunch way after the other kids left
Great vlogs! I hope this doesnt seem like im judgy, but I genuinely dont think matthew is autistic. He seems like a neurotypical average kid his age. maybe hes a bit shy or maybe he mimicked some of george's behaviours when he was younger, but I would think about him getting reassessed.
you have to remember a video or vlog is a very short snippet of time, even hundreds of videos now each video has such a small amount of footage of a day. Matthew is much higher functioning but we've put very little footage of him struggling with issues related to his asd has on him. Noise and sensory issues that we don't have to share to try and prove his diagnosis.. Matthew masks extremely well but when he's home in his safe place it's very obvious he's on the spectrum. We are also very select in what we share. Matthew will also ask me to omit parts of videos before they go LIVE. Masking is more common in girls or higher functioning because they want to fit in. We encourage him to be HIMSELF but he masks a lot. He requires more help then a vlog will show is all I can say. No offence taken at all but also remember he has learnt to manage himself and his emotions pretty well. Adam
found a very little video ruclips.net/video/8eoJTdXHPDY/видео.html that maybe gets you to understanding it. Matthew is a very big masker. he masks at school and when he comes home it all unravels, and when it does the last thing on my mind is too vlog it etc , hopefully that explains the point I'm trying to make Adam
Adz what George does is exactly what Isaac does. He just stares off we say he’s ‘recharging’ ❤
I like seeing him processing
