    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Simon. You remind me of my Great Grandson Mason. He will be 4 in September. He says a few words & is such a loving Child. I look after him M-F while his parents work. We have a great time together. Goes to Playschool 3 mornings a week & loves going. Has a therapist working with him at playschool. Progress is slow. I'm called PawPaw. He can't say it but it will a wonderful day when I hear him say PawPAW. Happy Birthday again Simon. You & Ezra are bright STARS in my life. Love to both of you.

    It’s good that Simon knows that the word “cool” has more than one meaning. From what I remember I was a year-and a-half or (more likely) two years older than Simon is here when I understood that. Is this one of the things that they go over with in Simon’s speech therapy, etc?

    Happy fourth birthday, Simon!
    Whether or not giving siblings gifts on another sibling’s birthday is a good idea depends on the kids and their personality types.
    My parents tried that on my birthday one year (I think when I was around six or seven) and my sister wanted all of the presents. My parents had to explain to her that she would need to wait until her birthday (in less than a week) to get more presents.
    That might have been the same year that she wanted all of the presents for Christmas because she is the oldest. They had to explain to her that that’s not how it works. She was 10 or 11 at the time.

    Simon reminds me of my son when he was little. He loved cars (he often walked around with one in each hand), and he talked similarly too. He would have loved these bikes, but he's now doing a great job riding his own bike. The years have gone by very quickly. The days are long, but the years are short.

    I retired as a speech therapist (45 years) this past year. I worked with kids like Ezra and Simon. My hardest job was the parents. They were going through difficult times with their special needs kids, regular kids, jobs. I had communication notebooks and we had a day in the week they could phone me. I had kids twice a week and if we felt more therapy was needed,we would try to get a therapist from their health plan.I so admire your household. You follow through with activities, blending everything into a regular day for all the kids. You are amazing and I wish you all the best

    It’s good to hear the word “independent” being used correctly here instead of how my relatives often used it to mean “stubborn”. Depending on how much Ezra understands of the speech that is used around him using these words correctly might be helping him with his autonomy (like on that recent Sunday morning when he used the toilet independently for the first time).

    Simon is so much like my youngest son who is 21 now. The only difference was my youngest son would have melt downs. My son also had ADHD making him more hyper. He was started on medication and he has done well since then. He was in special education until 6th grade. In 6th grade until High School Graduation he was in general education with an IEP. He currently works at Walgreens as a cashier. He is fully independent. Emotionally he is more like a 17 year old. Has no cognitive delays either.

    I noticed that in general Ezra looks like he’s more aware of what’s going on around him than he was even six months ago. Also, he seems to be getting better at telling people what he wants with his iPad.
    That being said I wonder if he may have some visual/spatial difficulties similar to the ones I had growing up and still have to a degree. Until I was about five or six I struggled with recognizing even the most basic shapes. If I was unusually tired or stressed out I would sometimes even get triangles and rectangles mixed up.
    When Ezra got off the bike and started walking the wrong way I wonder if he might have been having difficulty recognizing which houses are which.
    Even now (as an adult) it is just about impossible for me to recognize faces due to prosopagnosia. In my case I can’t be completely sure of how much of this is due to the right hemisphere stroke I had at birth and how much of it is a function of being on the spectrum. Even so I have to wonder if Ezra might also have something like this as well. One time after church my father stopped briefly to talk to someone he knew and my mother, sister, and I kept walking. Due to a combination of extreme nearsightedness and not being able to recognize faces I almost followed another man who was similar in height and wearing the same type of coat into the parking lot. Fortunately my father noticed what was happening and called me back to where he was followed by asking me what I was doing and where I was going. I think I was at least a year or two older than Ezra’s current age when this happened. I’m still not sure if my parents think I was trying to run away on that particular Sunday.
    If Ezra works more on shapes (basic ones like circles, squares, and triangles first, and then goes on from there) it might help him to eventually recognize different buildings if he is struggling with this.
    This might take some time because toilet training and learning anything else at the same time might be difficult. On the other hand this can vary from person to person.

    A friend of mine has a three-year-old granddaughter who will be turning four before the beginning of August. They’re not one-hundred-percent sure but they are fairly sure that she is level one like Simon is. She has good days and bad days. On a good day (like today, for instance) she is able to talk fairly well and communicate her needs about as well as Simon does.
    She seems to go back and forth between sensory seeking and sensory sensitivities. For example, sometimes if someone gives her a cupcake she will eat almost the entire cupcake and leave the frosting on the plate (like today). Other times she will just eat the frosting and leave the rest of her cupcake on her plate (like another time that I saw her in the last three months).
    One thing that her grandmother is slightly concerned about is the fact that while she typically knows that she is three years old and usually answers correctly when someone asks her how old she is (she almost always says one or two when she gives the wrong answer) she seems to virtually never give the correct answer when someone asks her how old she will be on her birthday (The right answer is four but she usually gives an answer of three and sometimes gives an answer of two or even one).
    In essence I was wondering if Simon had any similar difficulties with this just before he turned four (given how recently he officially became verbal (probably around the time of that Dollar Tree shopping trip last September (give or take)).

    The sound of the plastic rings on the dog banging together reminds me of the sound of the plastic keys that I enjoyed playing with when I was younger (starting around age three or four and continuing up to around Ezra’s current age) when I was stressed out sometimes after a day at school, for example. From what I remember these were taken away after I turned nine because they were considered to be “too babyish”.
    Looking back, I think the concern was that if I played with them too much it would cause me to regress.

    Bluey!!! Sorry I love bluey!!!......awww seeing both boys so happy and excited makes me happy, was happily stimming along with them both as they saw there present and for the entire video in anticipation of Simon opening it 😂.
    So proud of Ezra he seems to be learning to communicate much better and is becoming more able to express himself and I can see his level of independence changing.
    Both cheese lovers!!! I say while munching on a literal block of cheese for breakfast 😅
    I really like the idea of including Ezra and getting Simon specifically who's birthday it was to bring him in, they are both very sweet together despite Ezra not communicating verbally I can see alot of none verbal communication especially with Simon actually , I do feel they have quite a close relationship. And I have now learnt one of Ezra's pitch changes of sound there is a distinctive pitch of sound and facial expressions when it's sad , happy , excited or angry vocal stimming.
    Great to see everyone is enjoying there presents 😊 hahaha I think the car mat went down great , I just brought one of the kids I look after a construction vehicles similar thing and seems to be a win 😂
    Ezra is a little monkey after my own heart to this day even though I am 30 there is nothing I love more than setting up a tent in the living room and gathering things and then just sitting in there...my partner will set it up for me while I'm at work if he thinks I'm having a particularly hard day and I will just climb in when I get inside 😅
    Hahaha you predicted ezra throwing those objects nicely , lasted about 15 seconds XD looks like they had an amazing ride , i also love marks helmet great footage for a helmet cam. Little simons singing makes me happy 😊. Haha i always wave at the tv when he says hi.
    Haha and Ezra as always ready to have a run 😊 such an awsome bike very lucky little monkeys 😊
    So jealous of the bluey cake might have to ask for one on my birthday. Simon makes me laugh. Hahaha i dont blame ezra at all i would want the bluey cake toppers to there awsome😅 😅😅
    *Sings happy birthday* awww his little heart break when the candle went out so flad it relit 😊 glad to see everyone involved and having a great time 😊....haha your cake looks amazing i would order your cakes didnt even notice it was fallen over.
    :( is Ezra rubbing his cheeks again one looks a little sore again? :(

      Not necessarily, one cannot always infer causality from a correlation.
      I remember hearing that from my General Psychology (Psychology 101) professor as a college freshman in my second semester of Freshman year in the Spring of 1995.
      Also, autism symptoms can be difficult to see in the first two to three years if you are not specifically looking for them. I was only diagnosed myself (level two initially, currently level one (in today’s terminology)) after my two year checkup in the late 1970s. In my case they were only looking for it because I was born at least three months prematurely and they were doing a full neurological work up after I turned two to find any neurological complications from that. Otherwise my diagnosis would have been made months or even years later (even with the severity of my symptoms (At age two the only words I knew were “moon”, “cat”, and “clock”. You can’t really communicate anything with a vocabulary that is that limited.)). It was only by about age three to four that my vocabulary significantly improved beyond that point. By around age four-and a-half I was able to ask some very basic questions (such as “What is that?” and perhaps “Why?”) and my learning started to improve much more quickly after that.

Also, it sounds like his daytime toilet training is coming along. Even if his nighttime training never completely finishes he will probably eventually be able to clean himself up in the morning and perhaps eventually use a microwave to reheat things for breakfasts and snacks (as I started learning how to do around age ten or so). Also, given enough practice he should be able to learn how to tie shoes, brush his teeth, put on a belt, and similar tasks. It will take quite a while (probably at least another two to three years, best case scenario) but I think in time he can get there.

As an autistic adult, I can only say over and over again what an amazing job you are doing as parents. It warms my heart that your autistic boys are getting the understanding and support they need early on. It will impact their lives in ways you cannot yet imagine.
    Also, I'm a little late on this but would you mind giving the name or a link of the puppy dog toy with all the different textures that Ezra got? I am looking for some new stim toys and this one looks super fun! Thanks in advance for a reply!

    Cheese can have a good level of calcium in it (and so can ice cream). The main downside of these is that too much might cause constipation. Over time this could eventually cause toileting difficulties with Ezra and perhaps Simon as well if they eat a lot more cheese and ice cream than they should. Fruit can help to prevent this but it can still be difficult to balance things out.

Hopefully Simon’s feeling better now and he’s back on track (given that that happened over a month ago) if he had any temporary regression of any kind (aside from that one meltdown) as a result of that one event.

    When you were asking Ezra about whether he’s ready for Simon’s birthday it almost looked like he was trying to say something. I know that Ezra is autistic (level three), has ADHD, and probably has OCD. Is it possible that he also has social anxiety? If so, I wonder how they would check for it in someone who doesn’t talk yet.
