my boyfriend has autism and adhd and i wouldnt trade him for the world. i am watching this to understand better. i love how he works different from other people. i love how he thinks. every time i look at him my heart melts.
You are truly an angel!!
goood girl u r so loyal!
@Wesley Hinsonif you can share contact details please.
Thanks
I don't say u r good or bad and all, but I know you are lucky and he is too
@Wesley Hinson oh behalf of everyone, eff off stupid bot
I think something important that is definitely missing is how sensory overload/overstimulation is very common amongst folks who have ASD
My son has this I was struggling to explain it. But your comment has really helped me xxxx than you
@@tracylouisepoynton The reason for sensory overload and autism itself is not integrated primitive reflexes. Start from them, there are excursuses to integrated them. Then you will see how child will change..
@@Btrutaltruth even with occupational therapy, sensory processing disorder exists.
@Wesley Hinson Yeah, that's not how any of this works lol. Herbal remedies help some conditions, but there is no physiological way that herbs can cure autism.
@NEW HOPE INSURANCE LTD Just looked up this Dr. Oyalo guy. I just reported their channel for scam (he claims to cure cancer, HIV, Herpes, etc. and takes advantage of desperate people). He's the definition of a scam. Sorry to break it to you :(
This is an exceptionally clear presentation for a variety of audiences, ranging from parents to teachers and even in a professional PD as a review of presented materials. Well done.
couldnt agree more!
Precisely.
Absolutely!
Since the final taking of your herbs, my son has been speaking well and responding to his name Thank you Dr Omena for saving my son with your herbs. I’m so happy to share this news
Great presentation that has cleared up a lot prior to a forthcoming physiotherapy placement.
My eldest son now 23 years old has adhd and focal epilepsy. I showed my love on him everyday. Yes, he is unique in many different ways.
Thank you very much! I believe I have ASD, but have never been diagnosed, so this was very helpful for me.
Same. I wish there was more research for adults who think they might have the disorder.
@@blueismylove3128 hello. 17 female here, I too have had my suspicions since I was at least 15 . I've always known I was different since I was young and I want really very social either as a child until recently more at times I could be really social others I completely isolate and I hate group settings. I've done some online tests that all say I'm on the spectrum as I score quite high - I'm still trying to know what emotional intelligence is too... But yeh according to the DSM-5 I hit most of the criteria for females but all of the criteria for males.
I believe I have autism moderately so Asperger's... I want to wait till I'm 18 to get an official diagnosis because my parents will simply just deny this stuff
All things said I had a question😅
I believe I'm an aspie but I'm unsure if it's okay for me to go by that as I'm still looking into it as it gives me answers and I want to learn more about me and also because I've done a few online tests and plan to do a few more to have more variety, I'm aware this isn't substitute for a proper clinician or psychologist but it's a good starting point. So yeh the question is do you think it's okay for me to self diagnose whilst still having the mind to get an official diagnosis in the near future [ A year] [though it's a bit because I've known this for a while now] or do I just Im not sure just wait till I can get assessed and an official diagnosis ?
@@x.astar.x Well I'd say, in a way self diagnosing is the first step to figuring out what's going on, especially if we don't have access to professionals that can officially diagnose us. Its okay as long as you disclose you are self diagnose awaiting an official diagnosis when talking about it.
@@blueismylove3128 Awesome! 🙂 One thing I am scared about tho is what if I get evaluated and they tell me it isn't autism... Then wtf is it NOS? will they give me another diagnosis? I've heard of people getting misdiagnosed for years then going back and getting an autism diagnosis as I feel like Autism is the best explanation for me as I hit all the criteria for the DSM-5.
Then again because this would be funded by me I'm unsure if this will cost money in the UK if so I'm not sure I'll be able to afford it :/ then again there are the benefits of having an official diagnosis
*Sigh* One thing I have decided to do is reach out to a kid my age, we have spoken before and he mentioned he was Autistic and have other mental uhm .. I'm not sure what to label it as.. issues?? Like depression, ocd etc and after he mentioned it it all kinda made sense so I wanna see if there are things he's experienced and if can relate to them for a better understanding. Doing the best I can do until I can find out more about seeing a professional and being of age to do so without parental consent.
Sorry for the long response! Thank you tho every little helps!
@@x.astar.x Sorry, I can't really help on the financial aspect of things. I live in the US, so insurance picks and chooses what they cover. I would keep striving to get an official diagnosis because it can literally be life changing having what you suspected all along be confirmed. Of course there will always be misdiagnoses, so if something doesn't feel right you can request a reevaluation or get a second or third or how ever many opinions it takes to get a diagnosis that feels right.
Thank you for the clear visual and simplified presentation
As a child, I was diagnosed with autism. Back in the mid-'80s.
Then my diagnosis was changed numerous times. I was diagnosed with everything, ranging from schizophrenia to personality and anxiety disorders. And everything was NOS. And yes, in our country "Schizophrenia NOS" was a legit diagnosis and it was used for everything that is not obvious.
Then I gave up. I lived with an "I'm just that weird dude" for a few years but still did not bring me my inner peace.
Now I'm looking back at autism, and it still looks like the best fit for me.
Socially withdrawn, hard to keep eye contact, prefer to spend time in solitude, really bad at picking up social cues, obsessed with how things work internally. I rarely feel the urge to share my thoughts and feelings with others or ask for help (when I could or even should). It's extremely hard for me to switch tasks or even switch outfits (not underwear but outer cloth, or even go out with a different bag, or without one).
Only at age 35, after some therapy sessions, I started to realize why emotions are important to people, what role they play in social interactions, and what I, in fact, experience them to a much larger extent then I realized.
And most importantly - I do understand people with confirmed autism when we talk about our 'special things'. And they do understand me.
Yet no psychiatrist ever confirmed 'autism' diagnosis since the age of 16. And they all tried numerous different SSRI-antidepressants on me, and every time I degraded from moderately functional to 'I don't want to get out of the bed'-type of stupor.
And I really feel more confused than ever.
I am a doctor and I want to know that wen the autistic people grow to an adult age they have normal life traits like talking with people, going to leisure activities etc or they keep living as they were i n their infant life like no talking, no social interest, resistant?
@@usamaamin5449 It depends. But, for a large majority : you can't tell if they have autism or not.
It depends, but it (society) is like school : everyone needs to learn counting, reading. It is not natural and sometimes we struggle with it. But we learn and as an adult, almost everyone can counts and reads.
Same for autists : social and emotional structures (roots of our globalised society) are natural for a majority. For autists, learning is primordial. So we learn. As any child who wanted to read so, learnt to read. It costs a lot (humanly), because the nowadays society doesn't include us. But we learn and for a large proportion, you can't even assume that one or another person has autism
Ps: Unfortunately, medicines studies doesn't respect autism /autists. I totally understand your question, but the specificities are so cliché so no one wanted to answer you, sorry for that. Most of us as children, played and had social activities. It is not a binary way of living, as some "specialists" pretend : each person has ITS autism. And the truth is : science doesn't know much about it.
Thank your for your interest !
So beautiful to watch how good you expressed everything excellent I know because I have a son with autism thank you
What a pretty and informative presentation. Thank you!
What a great video. Simply, yet fully, explained. Thank you!
4:05 is a freaking jumpscare, I swear to God
R Dash crap
You think so?
Since the final taking of your herbs, my son has been speaking well and responding to his name Thank you Dr Omena for saving my son with your herbs. I’m so happy to share this news
literally everything on my neuroscience lecture on autism. Have an exam in 4 days, thanks
I was diagnosed as a toddler with PDD-NOS, and then again at 15 with Asperger Syndrome. I agree that many people who previously had (or would have had) an Asperger Syndrome diagnosis would now be diagnosed with level 1 Autism. I also think some people who were previously diagnosed (or would have been diagnosed) with PDD-NOS would also qualify for a level 1 Autism diagnosis.
Not necessarily true. One of the big fall outs when DAM-5 was released, many who were previously classified as "Aspergers" under DSM-4 were now dropped due to the manner in which the criteria in DAM-5 is presented. Many of us still have meltdowns, major sensory issues, have lived a life of social isolation, but due to the shady manner ASD is now defined, were pushed aside. Glad you got your diagnosis, but due to the highly inconsistency in diagnosis, the DSM-5 made more problems that it solved.
Life is more than finding a label to hide behind
My parents kept my diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder from me for 18 years. Now that I know, everything makes sense now. I’m 21 btw
I am a doctor and I want to know that wen the autistic people grow to an adult age they have normal life traits like talking with people, going to leisure activities etc or they keep living as they were i n their infant life like no talking, no social interest, resistant?

Get the best remedy to improve your child’s autistic condition from doctor Oyalo as his herbs have helped my child improve in speech and social skill very well.
Thank you Dr Omena for healing my son from autism. And I want to share about him to every one. His herbs has made my son verbal and Improve in social skills
Thank you so much for your clear explanation.. really helped with my assignments 😍🤗👍🏼
I Am 20 Years Old And I Was Diagnosed With Autsim, Asperger Syndrome, ADHD And ADD At The Age Of 3 Years Old. So I Kinda Of Understand Somethings About My Diagnosis But I Don’t Know Everything This Video Really Help Me Understand More.
“Quality of life and Independence” makes me feel like I’m mentally deficient and cannot operate as an adult. It’s quite insulting.
As adults, we all have a quality of life and independence level. Why would you find that insulting?
This was a very good presentation. Easy to understand a take notes on. I give thumbs up!
Thank you for the video, my son have spectrum autism,i did notknow anyting about this before he was diagnosed
Thankyou! It's really a big help for a psych student like me.
Thanks for your help. This quick review is helpful in my practice.
I have ASD in my year back when I was 3 years old kid, I tried to social some people in school year ago but I tried. Even I’m in college and my future I want to become an computer science. Thanks for the video, I’ll try to get an therapy hopefully I’ll do my best.
Thank you for making this video! My son just got diagnosed with level 2 ASD. I thought i knew what autism was until now that I have to handle it face to face. This video is very informative and interesting to watch.
Catherine Beaver hi how is your son going? My son also was diagnosed with level 2 autism. Is he speaking now ?
@Alexander Mike What do you mean by herbs?
I used Dr Omena 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. I met Dr Omena on channel and I’m happy to share my experience about it
This helped me a lot ! Thank you!
My little sister has autism I just want to understand about it more and this help because my parents dont want to help much. She has her "Melt downs" daily at home. She had started school this year and I hope she'll be alright.
I know this comment is 2 years old but hope your sis is alright bud

I love your videos! High quality stuff!
my question is why do a lot of people think that me and the rest of the autistic people are slow learners and stupid? Studies show people born with autism are much smarter than the average person and we may learn slow (well some of us learn slow and some the other way) But we still learn
autism stands for:
Always
Unique
Totally
Intelligent
Sometimes
Mysterious
:) I love having autism
I'd say it's ok just apart for the sensory overload side to it that sucks
Mostlikely cuz its a mental illness

thank you for this beautiful clear summary
Sir can you'll please make videos on communication disorders and intellectual disability. Your notes helps to easily understand for exam. Clinical psychology syllabus is little difficult, but you people make it easy
@Alexander Mike can you give me some more information about this??
Thanks for this video. It has given me a much better understanding of Autism.
Thanks for this clear and we'll explained video, really helpful
the hopeful insight offered by the Intense World Theory is that the right treatment strategies of cocooning the autistic infant to protect from surprising situations, and dampening brain functioning in early development to prevent driving the brains circuits into an irreversible trajectory, may reveal truly capable and highly gifted individuals who can integrate with their social environment successfully.
Estoy preparándome para el USMLE STEP 2 CK y no conseguía un vídeo que explicara en términos prácticos los síntomas. Gracias por tu valioso aporte.
It was pretty good for a short presentation, but as an autistic person, I really wish you'd included things like saying that autism is not caused by vaccines, that "functioning" labels are now seen as problematic and the majority of the autistic community rejects them, and that the research into causes and curing is also controversial because a large portion of the autistic community doesn't wish for a cure (although I do know of some autistic people who do want to know what causes it, etc.)
Also going to echo the other commenter who said that there was no mention of sensory overload/overstimulation, as that is VERY common with us (and some doctors view it as so integral to autism that if an autistic person presents with all other signs but doesn't seem to have sensory overload, they will not get the diagnosis because of doctor bias)

I have Autism, and I can confirm that most of these are very true.
Thankkk youuuu for this information video!!!!!💐
I love this video it helped alot with my project thatnk you
Thank you so much. This really helped me understand ASD.
Rita Vargas I have ASD u can ask me questions about it if u want to
@@Wolf_Gaming-pf2td Me Too!
He also forgot to mention sensory overloads, and those are a major part of ASD individuals
I have asd and adhd so yeah it's pretty common to have adhd if you were diagnosed with asd first but if you're diagnosed with adhd in later childhood you probably don't have asd
@@alexskywalker5478 Hell yeah ! But I think it was a very nice presentation
This helped me to learn what it is thx
the first minute is golden in this video
Great video 😊
When I was diagnosed with autism at first I didn't know what it ment and the only info I could get or understand was that I was in the high functioning side. Thankfully I found this video and now understand what for some reason I didn't understand XD
Same here
Osmosis...you should include information on Neurodiversity, Social Model of Disability and strength based approach for autistic people .
you could also explain and mention --- the diagnosis among boys are higher than girsl and women due to women having a different presentation/ masking, and having higher levels of misdiagnosis.Women being diagnosed later in life etc... very important point! As not many autistic people has the privilege of being diagnosed as a child.
Defining autistic people through terms such as ‘deficits’ Their behaviour is represented as abnormal and a problem. "Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction … deficits in social-emotional reciprocity … abnormal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation … inflexible adherence to routines. In this way, autism is made a personal problem with social rules and practices, as well as issues with communication and coping readily with change. Thinking of autism in this way has impacted many autistic children and adults. This is why the ‘problem’ of autism needs to be reframed making it less about the individual and more about the way society relates too and views autistic people. autistic people have change this world and most of them probably didn't have the privilege of having a diagnosis
very well explained 👍
Wow, very clear. Thank you
Great work! Keep up the good content:)
Great video , thank you
Excellent video.
A doctor tried to diagnose me with it but my mum wasnt having itand made us go home ;((
This almost happened to me. Quite irritating.

thanks so much
I was diagnosed with this when i was three and didn't know about till i read an old report card of mine saying i was labeled autistic
I hate having autism. I wish I was dead. I isolate myself from everyone. And I can make eye contact but it's so uncomfortable when I do. And I hate change my entire life my family has moved and it still effects me. I dropped out of school because everything I was trying to learn I couldn't. My brain was having trouble processing things. And everybody was nice to me at my school but I never wanted to talk to anyone.
have you gone to a therapist?
Heyyy how are you now?
Thank you
Very informative.
Dsm 10 is newest version.
Btw.,a lot of people with autism like being alone
I had cerebral palsy and autism since I was born on May 6,1991- until I died in future.
It makes me so irritated to not know the cause of something. My nephew has autism and I just wish there was answers.
What did you use to create this?
Wait. Is THIS why I cant put a drop of tomato, onion, any condiment on my food without it tasting like molding juicy compost?
Why is there so little information about this for adults that did not get a full diagnosis as a child?
My younger brother has Autism and his problem and solving skills is really bad.
ive experienced autism but in a negative way. at my school people use it as an insult or something bad
I used Dr Omena 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. I met Dr Omena on channel and I’m happy to share my experience about it
does down syndrome and ID have anything to do with being on the spectrum? Differences? Similarities? Thank you.
It's so sad there is no cure for it. I work with young adults with Autism, and love them as if they're my own.
the spectrum is way bigger than we think. there are as much "types and forms" of autism as there are different kinds of people. also, never forget that it's a PERSON with asd, asd does not a person make. The fact that people might communicate in an unusual way, might be because of ASD, but the fact that your favorite color is blue and you prefer to wear skirts to pants has nothing to do with ASD.
I also HATE the fact how it is portrayed in the media. I mean, rain man? Beautiful movie, but this makes people with asd force to mask (which is mentally exhausting) because ignorant people believe that this is what ASD looks like. It makes me disapointed in society, in the world...
It's informative
Me: I don't have ASD
Also me: Seeing same movie repeatedly for more than 30 times in a month. 😂😂😂
Note: I am not self diagnosing, I am just sharing something stupid I have done.
nice video
I have been diagnoised back in March I really wanted to be diagnoised when I was at school I am a very senstive girl, there's a car that sometimes comes down my road and I hate the sound of it espeially when it misfires it's engine I know it's a lady that drives it and i'm sure she's not a bad person today I had a meltdown I cry and cry and then after I throw up does anyone know any tips on how to cope with noises like that car? Maybe I should wear my headphones on even having the car in my head scares me to death. But i've never had this problem because I don't see the car much... I also had a job interview today so my mind is all over the place
I use my imagination. At the first indication of such incoming trauma (yes, it feels like trauma.... cars backfiring can literally feel like a bullet ripping through me) I imagine a thick bubble around me with sound waves bouncing off of it. Truly, this works. It takes some practice BUT IT WORKS!!!! We are only limited by our imagination.
Too bad it did not touch on male vs female autism, nor on difficulties of diagnosis in adults, nor on sensory issues. But a nice very introductory presentation if you know absolutely nothing, I suppose.
TRASVERSAL COMMENT
what did you use to create this video? I'd like to make a similar one
The DSM-5's move to substitute the DSM-IV's description of autism and other pervasive developmental disorders with the term Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) makes a lot of sense. The DSM-IV's diagnosis was inaccurate in reflecting the different symptoms that individuals with autism have. It also didn't indicate severity, making it problematic for clinicians to provide adequate treatment and support for individuals with autism. The new diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5 are more wide-ranging and better reflect the range of symptoms and severity levels seen in individuals with autism. Furthermore, this new diagnostic criterion is backed up by a range of ethical principles and laws, such as the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct, which states that "psychologists take reasonable steps to ensure that their services are used appropriately, considering the needs of their clients, research participants, students, and other such persons" Another interesting point about the DSM-5's new criteria for autism spectrum disorder is that it includes a scale for differentiating the severity of social communication and interaction deficits, and restrictive or repetitive behavior, interests, and activities. This is an imperative addition because it allows clinicians to understand the individual needs of each patient better and develop a more tailored treatment plan. It also allows clinicians to monitor progress better and adjust the treatment plan.
🙏🙏🙏🙏Thanks
What about adults?
How do you get a diagnosis I really feel like I’m undiagnosed and I don’t have ADHD. It’s really been affecting my mental health I feel my parents don’t get me I told her about spectrum she said I don’t have it she would know it, she said I’m just antisocial have social anxiety. I left it alone, but I hate when she says these things should come natural to you it hurts I always stay in my room and I barely stay at the house with my family and on Friday’s I work until 11:00 and Saturday’s I work 5:00 a.m. until 11 p.m. I know it’s wrong, but I really don’t it’s hard to explain. It’s been hard these 18 years I want to know if I’m on the spectrum I don’t understand my emotions, I can understand peoples more.
I cannot believe that all along I have been suffering from Autism and I don't know, no wonder my life has been a mess and hell for 33years if my life...😢😪🤔
I’m 22 years old now and wondering whether I’d best get diagnosed or not...
I have never been diagnosed - officially - actually it was not until lately that my sister brought my attention to the fact that we both to a certain degree have symptoms of Aperger's syndrome. She is not just anybody, who just read about it in a magazine - she is s psychologist. I took some of the tests and found out she was right. I actually have pretty good people skills - no actually they are over average - but they are to a large extent acquired skills. Rational skills that I have studied and worked for. I never had the sensory overload that many have.
I would say, the diagnosis itself is completely useless, but if it will make somebody help you learn all the stuff I had to figure out for myself, it would make sense.
Only a little over 60% of the time will a diagnosis by one Doctor/Facility be duplicated or agreed upon by a second analysis. In other words, you are taking your chances of having an accurate assessment. Aspergers has historically been misdiagnosed. Unless you have a specific need for a formal diagnosis as an adult, I would recommend not getting one. Almost all research and support is targeted to children with the intent of early intervention to address a child's difficulties. Very little support is provided to adults even after formal diagnosis. Apparently the mental health community has the opinion, if you have made it to adulthood, then you have learned to cope or adapt, therefor, you do not need help. In my opinion, this is a very poor approach that leaves many previously undiagnosed adults in a very bad position. But the reality is, a diagnosis that does not result in appropriate support is a waste of time and money.
@@davef2975 Aspergers is just a label though, from DSM-IV. In the DSM-V it is already removed again. That's why I have a strong urge to not really trust these labels, as they are very subject to change. We haven't come close to a full understanding of even the smallest parts of the human brain. Diagnosing and treating people is just a very slippery slope, and in my opinion it is best to try to not get treatment until you can't function anymore at all. People were trying to 'diagnose' me with autism until my 11th birthday or something. When I went to 'high school' (school for 11-18 yo in my country) I was put together with other very smart people, that's how the school system works in the Netherlands. I had zero issues adapting and socializing with these people. I now have fully developed every social skill and empathy that a person who was 'diagnosed with autism' does not have. Therefore I am of the opinion that early diagnosing and treating and labeling children is extremely bad for their growth. My parents always told me I was normal and they set up a great example. Just do this. Stop the labeling, stop the manipulating and telling children/people that there's something wrong with them. Just let everyone be themselves, for crying out loud.
@@maxk880 my oldest son, and I have Fragile X Syndrome, which sadly very few people know anything about, even tho it's the.. #2,( debateably #1) leading cause of Genetic Mental Retardation in the world. Yet when we were being sent to "specialist" for him to be approved for disability, and get him a medical team to combat it, half the doctors they sent us to, had never even HEARD OF IT!!! Fragile X Syndrome is passed from the female's X chromosome, and many adult women are "carriers", but may never KNOW, until they have a son, or daughter born full mutation, as I did at 18 with my first child. Somehow my husband sensed there was something " wrong" almost immediately, though no one else thought anything at all was "off" about our beautiful, healthy, happy little man. He talked earlier than any of my babies after him, he was happy, loved to "talk" and would rattle on like an auctioneer or lively preacher like back in my day.He would dance a jig and try to sing, clapping his hands, entertaining his Nana and all who would stop and watch him. He had curvature of both femurs, that was our first red flag, but I'd had similar issues, & I'd worn braces on my legs, dragging myself until my ankles gained strength and I managed. I carried Jesse until I went into labor at 6 mos. with son #2,and HAD to stop running around with him on my hip. He was 16 mo's when he learned to walk on his own. Specialist said there was nothing they could do but wait til he was 12,and break both femurs.... At age 12? No!!!, our kid's just fine, so what he'll never be a track star. By headstart We knew he was delayed, sometimes he would write his name, sometimes he'd act like he had no clue what you were talking about forming letters. He was a bit hyper,drinking black coffee with his GMA,CALMED HIM DOWN, apparently like he had a chemical imbalance,but it wasn't until Kindergarten, in a bigger city, that a teacher who worked with many kids who had FXS, that she said.." wait a minute I think this boy has THIS"! And I'll never forget the day they handed me some papers from the Mayo Clinic explaining FXS , it's symptoms, etc... I knew immediately that was what He had, and that I had passed it onto him unknowingly. We had 2 more children by then. Luckily they were not positive, tho I had a 50/50 chance of every kid having it. Autism and Fragile X Syndrome are closely linked genetic issues. Where you have one, often you have the other. The hand flapping, repetitive speech, poor eye contact, different learning styles and poor gait, are classic signs of FXS. Would LOVE anyone else's experience with this genetic disorders advice on autism spectrum behaviors and way of thinking. I always knew I wasn't like other people, esp not my family, like I didn't "fit" in with them, AT ALL. I grew up with about 4yrs of being molested, and it caused me to develop quiet BPD, CPTSD, and Avoidant Personality Disorder, which turned into drug and alcohol,eating disorders, and kept growing. Unlike "Autism" which is diagnosed by one or more Dr.s observation's and opinion, to which IF you meet the criteria for Autism... There is no swab in cheek or blood test as with Fragile X Syndrome, or a brain scan , like with psychizophrenia, and for the most part, all the other mental disorders, are guesswork by a Dr,and unfortunately you're diagnosis may be completely WRONG, based on the info they have from you. I officially have 6 mental diagnosed disorders in my medical records. I believe BPD, and my CPTSD, along with being a carrier for full mutation FXS, ( I have the same # of repeats in my DNA as my handicapped son has in his, so we don't know if its regressing or no). Unfortunately I'd been seeking mental health since age 12,and was misdiagnosed,no meds ever helped, most made it worse, marijuana was the only thing that helped my mood swings, and inability to control my emotions, depression, manic episodes, and self destructive behaviors. If you or your loved one has autism, I strongly suggest being tested for Fragile X Syndrome, rule that in or out, for your own peace of mind, and future bloodline responsibility. My son, Jesse, is 36 now, and I often say He is the best kid I got. He is a great guy, and I would not change anything about him what so ever. He is, in fact, the purest soul you'll ever hope to meet. We aren't damaged goods, we don't need to be fixed. We need to be understood.
Thank you Dr Omena for healing my son from autism. And I want to share about him to every one. His herbs has made my son verbal and Improve in social skills
Do we have to diagnose for me what ever my son needs I will do and get for him but I'm angry at him being labeled he's exceptional not aditional . Do any other moms feel protective towards lables .
No I know alot more about my sister
Chappal se mariye is too hilarious 😅😅
What kind of doctor diagnosis ASD ?
Sometimes I think that maybe I don't have ASD but then I watch videos like this and I'm like "shit dude, I am autistic"
can someone explain to me what exactly level 1, 2, and 3 are in autism since i dont understand? i think i am level 1 i can communicate really well.
@Pateck Aaron... You are a terrible parent if you did not want your child to have autism. You couldn't accept your child for who he is. Autism cannot be cured because it is something in the brain and thus curing it would actually rewire the entire brain. This means that not only will you not have autism anymore, you will have a completely different personality and character. There is NO cure and NO known cause and I am happy with that, seeing as I perform better in a variety of things compared to other people in my class. I even speak 4 languages whether you believe it or not, all while being autistic. You are a horrible parent if you actually went out to "cure" your child. NO herbs cure it, NOTHING cures it and I feel so bad for that child. If anything, YOU need to educate yourself on autism because IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE A GOOD PARENT. I apologize in advance but this is really what it is. Wishing you and your child the best.
Wow... The ASD sounds just like me...
I'm lonely.
I don't want to move.
I prefer to stay alone.
My language is trash.
I would advice to get some help. You can ask your doctor for starters. Good luck buddy.
Im sort of i have it a little bit my anger levels do get high i have asperger but i love living
I get sensory overload from using the toilet so I wear pull-ups to help me feel comfortable.
There is no such thing about level 1 to level 3 severity. What happens is that some experience more severe symptoms in the spectrum than others. It's not a line from less to more. You either have it or you don't.
Nice
Very basic video about a very complex condition. 3 stars out of 5.
I have cerebral palsy and a little bit of autism.
I had an extreme interest in the titanic when I was young...
RamblerClassicMan same
RamblerClassicMan
What about Sonic the hedgehog?
titanic is a very cool and interesting story.... nothing wrong with liking it
Same here and I still do
@@MikeHunt-xj5xf unfortunately nothing as socially adept. We’re talking pigs n sandboxes. Hbu
Yep I got asd
im being tested for it
Im being tested for aspergers soon
I get labelled as autistic and it's an insult. My mom lies to people claiming I have the mental illness.
I have it low i sometimes act like i don't have it and adhd
4:57 So if I understand this well, we should now say: "I HAVE some spectrum", in stead of saying: "I am on the spectrum"? Is that correct, or did I not get what you meant. Please clarify.
And I would like to know more about adult autism.
Few weeks ago found out I have autism and Somatic Symptom Disorder. Can anyone that is familiar with these 2 please explain to me what to expect cause I also had IQ done and let’s just say Forrest Gump. If anyone was wondering I am 38yr age and was having various complaints of my anxiety/ depression epilepsy psychogenic seizures and to memory.
I hate when my sister says my brain is stupid.
Why is there a letter z is socialising. Is it a new trend or something?
This is entirely missing how the spectrum appears in adults, especially adult women. There is so much focus on the children but children grow up and as they grow up they learn strategies to live a near normal life
@Dr Yuching Lee Just going to say that herbs against a genetic condition that alters how the brain is structured, sounds extremely little convincing
