Autism And Christmas: It Can Be So Hard

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- In this video, I talk about how autism affects the holiday season. It can be hard to find the right words to describe how it feels, and sometimes it's hard to find the right activities to celebrate. But with a little help from incredible organizations who fund Sensory Santa, we can get through this holiday season together.
This is a difficult video to make, but I think it's important to share it with you. I hope you can watch it and understand why it can be so hard for autism families at Christmas. Please share this video if you can, it would mean a lot!

Loved the ending!! ❤
me too :)
Loved this vlog ❤ totally agree with what you were saying. Also, teeth grinding is one of my boys stims and it goes right through me.. it's ROUGH 😂
I can’t with the teeth! And she clacks them too 😂 the sound is brutal but also I know it’s so bad for her teeth :(
@@thatdailymama I know!!!! Alex ended up chipping one of his bottom teeth from grinding. We tried redirecting to chewies etc and he wouldn't use it. They just don't hit the same 😭
@@skiptotheend our therapist is bringing chewies next week to try again . Last time she rejected them
@@thatdailymama good luck!!! I hope they work 🤞
I suspect she isn’t disturbed by the ceilings but is hearing the electric lights. Many autistic kids can hears electric feedback that others “tune out.” Have you tried noise canceling headphones when you take her out to a busy or noisy place? Have you tried weighted blankets or weighted vests to help her with self-Stimson? Is the autism center working with her on augmented speech apps?
Really!! That is such a keen observation that I didn’t think of but should have because I also really dislike that humming of fluorescents. Thank you for pointing that out! She does where headphones sometimes when out in loud places and will also not for them at school. Sometimes she wants them and other times she rejects them. We have one weighted blanket but she doesn’t seem to care for it too much. As for speech she is currently using pictures and a core board with pictures and is just starting to be introduced to an AAC device. We are hopeful she will gravitate towards the device since it opens up a lot of language for her. She is 4 years old in a couple weeks but her developmental level is quite a bit younger so the device is still difficult for her to navigate and understand but we are really hopeful
@@thatdailymama I know some youngerbautistix kids do well with smaller cell phones rubbing some of the free AAC software if they also are used to watching kid movies on the devices via Netflix, etc. Our granddaughter, who is 2 years old (26 months) and speech delayed seems to do well with singing and humming tobher favorite animated.muaicals. I sat her in front of the piano, purely for a photo op, and she started "banging chords" and smiling and laughing. Each visit since she makes sure to play the piano. I have been curious about aasociating piano notes to a need or want, such as the C note if she needs a hug. I am very affected by textures and sounds and I can imagine notes as simple word replacements until she figures out her tongue.
@@Familylawgroup that’s very interesting because Leah absolutely responds better to language when it’s musical and often speaks her jargon in melodies and tones!
Lights are hard in stores.
Do you you "Sensory ______" around her all the time?
We try to keep words as normal possible.
Im not sure what you mean? Like do I tell her it’s sensory? Sorry im not sure I understood you. And also yes lights are so awful in stores
@@thatdailymama like we don't say
Let's go see Sensory Santa
We just say Santa
And maybe you just said it for video...or if you say it does it give her ease about going?
Just curious
@@kathrynward6222 oh I see what you mean! No we just say Santa mostly. She is developmentally much younger than her age and has language processing issues so she really doesn’t even know what sensory means but yes we do try and keep it simple and just say Santa. Mostly just use the extra descriptive stuff for the video!
❤
merry xmas
Merry Xmas!!
