- Hey Guys! Welcome if your new here! Thank you for clicking on subscribe and joining our little community!!
I just want to put a disclaimer here and let you know that this Channel is NOT made for kids! I am also not a professional this is just our personal experiences that we want to share with you. This video includes footage examples.
In today’s video we go through Early Autism signs/traits that we saw in our daughter Charlotte that ultimately led us to getting her assessed for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Please note every child on the spectrum is different, if you are concerned about your child please take them to your local clinic or paediatrician to express your concerns.
Charlotte has recently been diagnosed with Autism - level 2 social and level 3 behavioural. Please also consider that some of these “signs” could be considered as neurotypical behaviours for a toddler.
Once again thank you for clicking on this video, I’d love it if you could comment down below and let me know a little bit about you? I would really love to get to know my audience better XX

Please don't stop sharing. People on the internet have a lot of opinions but you're helping the majority. They might not comment. And the people that have differing opinions might. But youre helping the other majority so thank you.
Hi Haley, thank you so much for your beautiful comment! I am planning on uploading a new video soon. William has been struggling at school, so that has become my priority for the moment. However, I do have content ready to edit it just been hard finding the time. Is there anything that you would like to request? xx Thank you again for your lovely comment! It really brings me so much happiness receiving these nice comments knowing I am helping others! xx
I cried during this video. I’m waiting to have my son evaluated but it could take months due to the waiting list. I’m a single mother and knew not to allow my son to go to daycare bc he hits and slaps himself to show is anger. I feel so defeated but I’m trying to hold it together. My son has displayed all traits for so long. Thank you for this video.
Much love to you, from another single mother who is noticing some special behaviours at 15 months.
Hi lovely, I am so sorry you're unable to get him evaluated for such a long time. Have you asked to be put on a cancelation or waiting list? Sending you so much strength and love! xx
I love that we can all connect here. Thank you for reaching out and supporting our community lovely. Much love to you xx
We’re also waiting, but in the meantime we’re also connected with Infant Toddler and Services and they give us tips on how to get her from one step to another in anything my daughter needs. You should ask your son’s pediatrician if you guys have anything like that, it might help you both more than you know!
Thank you for sharing! You are very brave to share, not everyone is kind but you must be a strong woman. I work at a special school and my students have an intellectual impairment paired with other conditions, often autism. You would be amazed how many therapists miss and skip signs. Even in educated circles it can be overlooked. I have had a guidance officer tell me that kids do not belong in our school because they could memorise books, score high on an iq test with visual cues, say the days of the week, months or the year in order , count to 100 and sing the alphabet. Phenomenal memory is another sign that is often misread. Looking forward to sharing in your journey and watching your beautiful children grow. How lucky they are that you have sort help and can now receive early intervention.
Hi Millie, Thank you so much for this beautiful message!! I am passionate about creating a community that is a safe space for everyone! In the beginning of our journey I felt very alone and didn't know what step came next. You get the diagnosis and then basically have to figure the rest out on your own. It's unfortunate and very heartbreaking that so many children go undiagnosed and have to learn to manage on their own. My husband was diagnosed as an adult and it is very hard for him to seek out help as an adult. Early intervention is key and its so important that families reach out and ask questions and to advocate for their children. I'm so thankful you reached out with your message today! You are so very kind and thank you so much for watching! Lots of love from Australia xx
Charlotte looks like perfectly normal child. My daughter did most of those things when she was a toddler. She is 10 years old now . No issues whatsoever. Hopefully everything will be fine. Good luck :)
Thank you so much for your feedback x
i feel the same way, she seems very typical to me !! especially water play, not liking getting dressed, picking up and collecting things....very, very typical !! i hope she will be just fine !!
@@pamelajackson2383 you have to look at all the signals together . Not in isolation
@@gillmiller3702 yes, of course i know that; i am stating (a year ago) that she is very typical in many, many ways. I have no idea what her diagnosis turned out to be, many have to wait until age 6 or so, I am very familiar with this.
@@MrsHendersonCo Charlotte is a carbon copy of my granddaughter, it's quite obvious to me, she was just diagnosed with ASD at 4 years old level one or what I call Asperger syndrome which I have, at 2 years old she probably would have had a level 2 diagnosis but our knowledge of this helped us help her along.
New Subscriber Here From Indiana. I was so glad that I found your channel. Your video has helped me to get a better understanding of Autism. My Grandson Zion Bentley was diagnosed as being on the spectrum . He's now 3 and a half years old. His still non verbal. But has of lately started talking more. The main word that he has spoken since he started talking some, is Nana. That's what he and his Sister call me. He's the sweetest little Boy..He chews up everything.!! His crib had to be thrown away because of how much he completely destroyed it..he has had all the same signs of Autism has your Daughter. His Little Sister has also been showing signs of Autism. Actually she has so many more signs of being Autistic than her Brother ever has. However the Dr hasn't diagnosed her yet. But we know for certain that she is. She is 2 years old now. I believe that she is definitely on a much higher spectrum than her Brother is. I really appreciate your video. It is very helpful to me. I'm learning more about Autism and Stims. It's so heartbreaking watching both of My Grandchildren have several meltdowns everyday. and people can be so cruel, when we're out in public and they get over stimulated and scream at the top of their lungs. It's so hard but I'm learning. Thank you again for your help. God Bless Y'all.
Dr Oyalo herbs is really helpful, and have helped my son improve with his speech and social skill complete. My son now responds to name, his aggressive behavior has stoped completely and he now sings and says what he want.
Thank you so much for sharing. My daughter (20 months) is going to speech therapy twice a week and I see some signs in her. This was really informative to a mom who doesn’t know much about autism and have been googling like crazy! Lol! Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching lovely! Speech therapy will be so good for your daughter. Early interventions really help. Your doing a wonderful job! When William was first diagnosed I did the same thing. Brought countless books and did so much reading! It is nice to be building a community of others on similar journeys. xx
@@MrsHendersonCo Do your kids talk, or are they nonverbal?
@Wesley Hinson hi what is herbs doc? Can you share me please. My daughter have all the sign and I don't know how to help her
I cried you are such a strong mom and your babies are adorable!! The doggies too!
Mu daughter will be 5 years old in 2 months. I knew she was autisic ever since ahe was 2 years old. She was diagnosed a year later as being on the spectrum. She did a lot of things like your beautiful Charlotte. Trust me bath time was a nightmare to the both of us. Now Sasha enjoys it, she even lets me wash her hair and brush it and dry it without any fuss. It gets better and better as they grow up. Your Charlotte is absolutely perfect and adorable. I wish you all the best ❤

Hello! My son was diagnosed a few days ago, and before he was diagnosed I watched this video and realized that my 2 year old does almost all of the same things to the point I teared up! (especially her walking around with her two baby dolls because he does the exact same thing!!) I just want to say thank you for posting this. It's comforting to see other moms going through the same thing. It pulled on my heart strings looking at the stressed face of a mama just trying to dress her child. I'm also in the process of putting together my own video like this. :) Would you mind sharing what editor you used to add the music and video sound like that?
Everything in this video is normal and they shouldn’t even be ethically allowed to diagnose at 2.
Thanks for sharing. I used to work with a total of 5 boys on the spectrum, one with aspergers, ages 6-9. I've just discovered that my neighbors 2 year old girl is probably quite high on the spectrum. I just met them several months ago and haven't had many longer interactions inside their home until a fews months ago. I began to see behaviours in their 24 month old that finally clicked in my brain. I knew immediately. And it's not level one. This couple also has a 5 mth old that was born at 31 weeks. I've been desperately watching as much as I can on RUclips about 2 year olds with autism just to make sure I've got it right. And I do. The parents are clueless. They are not your typical parents who keep up with all the major milestones of their child's development. They are not bad parents of course. Just not knowledgeable. So now I have to have that very serious talk with them that is going to change their word. I'm scared. I intend to be armed with the info I found on RUclips along with the contact info for our local branch for kids with special needs. I've been stressing over this for 2 solid days now since the light bulb came on. I also realised that while I was 'speaking' to the new 5 mth old baby in her bassinette, that I actually had a more normal conversation with her than I did the 2 year old. In fact, in hindsight, I've never had a proper playful or otherwise interaction with the 2 year old (absolutely no eye contact or interest in what is going on around her). It wasn't until I saw this same reaction to her parents, and over a 30 minute period I observed at least 10 very, very clear red flags and also recognized that I'd seen them before in her. So, long story long, Tomorrow I am having that awkward conversations and hope they are receptive. Definitely not going to sleep tonight. Thank you again for helping me verify my suspicions and providing a resource that I can pass along to my neighbors.
Cheers Mate!
I know you know this, but your daughter is perfect regardless of her being autistic or not
Thank you so much, very true! It's very rare we are given such a beautiful compliment, people can be very judging at times and it's hard trying to explain that at the grocery store its a sensory overload not naughty behaviour. Thank you
@Wesley Hinson
Haw can I rich to him please
@@jacquelinebyukusenge544 scam
I’ve seen many of these behaviours over the years in my program. Throughout my 26 year career many of the things you pointed out stood out over time. Although all children do similar things, it’s the way they do them that begins to stand out. Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you so much for your comment
@Joice Omo what herbals are those ? Interesting !
As an Rn in pediatrics for 27 years, I can say that I remember when autism was a very specific group of behaviors. It seems to me that almost any child can be on the spectrum now. Alot of these behaviors are normal that children may or not display as they are developing. They outgrow them and move on. In my time autism was not something that ever improved, it remained with the child forever and no therapies helped. It was always concidered a severe diagnosis with severe prognosis. I just have to question why these behaviors are considered abnormal now. Maybe its the groups of behaviors and how long they last and do they interfere with life skils. Im still so leary about all these children labeled as autistic nowadays. Myson was ADHD, that was terrible going through that. And now he is an ICU RN. He di a fast track bachelors program in 18 months. All of those obsessive behaviors work for him now!
I don’t know the details of this particular little girl so I won’t judge but I do think a lot of children have autistic spectrum behaviors and then outgrow them. But as a special education teacher and a parent of 3 I know there are so many unexplainable different types of autism. My son, now 28, had several of these behaviors- hair twisting ( he still does occasionally when heavily focused on something), toe walking, lining up cars, trains, toys, meltdowns with touching unusual textures... As time went on, we learned to embrace his uniqueness and be as patient as possible. He said to me once while in college he may have Asbergers. I asked if he’d like to get tested- he said- No, I’m getting along just fine so no need. He graduated, has the same career for the last 4 years and lives on his own. He loves his life. And, of course, I love him.
I was questioning myself the same things you observed. It seems like nowadays everything is abnormal
thinking the same thing. Both my kids - now 29 and 31 - acted just like this - one is a CEO of a major company and other is in medicine also. Both graduated college with honors, both are extremely outgoing - both married, both parents - My son didn't walk until over a year and my daughter didn't speak until almost 3! I'm definitely not an expert, but if you knew some of the stuff my kids did, rocking, didn't respond to calling their name -potty trained late - and they were absolutely fine. Again, outgoing, intelligent, behaved, extremely popular, etc. I'm confused I guess. She just looks like a typical toddler to me.
Thank you for this! I am in no way looking down on the mama on this video as she is going by what her Doctor has told her, but a few of these "signs" of autism seem ridiculous to me! I have a sibling that was diagnosed with autism in 1995 at the age of 2. He is now 28, mute, unable to care for himself. He did not act this way as a toddler. It was more angry outbursts, inability to communicate, and developmental delays. I now have a 2 year old of my own and would never consider any of these "Autistic signs" - 99% of the 2 year olds I know play like this!
my 2 year old girl does 90% of this things... also did my 7 year old when she was a toddler
thank you SOO much
my daughter has a speech delay and that's what started my research. I already have an evaluation set up but my daughter plays Exactly like yours and I feel so validated
I helped my son reduce aggression and improve in speech and social skill with the help of Dr Oyalo herbal supplement I got from RUclips here. His herbs work perfectly
I have a 13 yr old step granddaughter still walking on her toes just about all the time. I seen a couple Chriopractors videos and the toe walking was mentioned as a result from booster shots. She's to young but later it suggested a 4X4 block exercise to help with this. Not sure if anything other than stretching and strengthening were involved to remedy this or not. My daughter wouldn't investigate this avenue. God be with you through this journey. Appear to be a fantastic Mother. 💝
Thank you so much for this feedback! I will seek advise from our physiotherapist in regards to this. This is great feedback and could possibly help! Thank you so much! God bless you and your family x
You are extremely patient and kind and an amazing mother and I’m sorry for all the ignorant comments you have recieved. I am a mother of four and am diagnosed with aspergers and adhd. My son got his diagnosis when he just turned three but everyone around him knew it from much earliere on. I suspect my daughter is on the spectrum as well, despite her having a lovely life (18) and being well-rounded. It’s her trying to keep up with social life though it exhaust her, her troubles in managing ordinary life skills, her obsession investment in whatever subject she finds interesting.
My son has been diagnosed with infantile autism, and he displays a lot of the same behaviours as your daughter. You know how her mind differs, you feel her emotions and react to her. My son also gives eye contact, is very cuddly and emotionel available, I could show videos which would make people react the same way they did to yours. However, people don’t see how my son never ever reaches out to other children except to make them go away, they don’t experience how he screams when other people approach us, they don’t see him obsessively play with his alphabets, numbers and countries. They don’t see how he reacts with desperation if he notices closet doors are open, all these tiny details which sum up the whole picture.
As a girl growing up with un-noticed autism, I learned to hide away, to not make myself noticable, to adapt to other girls in order to pretend to belong etc. But the world was a giant scary place to me, so watching your little girl hide triggers all these emotions in me. You are an amazing mother for seeing her. I notice you have a lot of safe spaces for her, how lucky she is!
I am sorry about how incohorent this comes out, my son is sleeping on top of me right now and I have hard time finding the right words, but I wanted to reach out before I forget:-)
All the best to you and your beautiful family, I definitely recognise her autism, and she is so lucky to have been identified so early on. I hope she will grow up and embrace who she is and will make friends who matches her inner self. I am sure you will help her do that. Thank you for making the video, love from Denmark.
Hi Christina, thank you so much for this beautiful, heartfelt message!! Truly so warming, hearing your love and support!! It's bought me to tears!! It's been hard receiving the negative comments but I know that all this means is that people don't understand it the way we do and by sharing our journey we will hopefully help people understand it from our point of view a little better.
So many things you have said Charlotte does on the daily especially if doors are opened that she likes closed. Or vis versa. I'm sorry you grew up un-diagnosed and not realising, my husband was the same and he is really struggling in life at the moment with all of the changes in routine on a daily basis and now for him being a father to two children on the spectrum is making it hard for him emotionally as a lot of things are triggering things from his childhood.
Thank you so much for all of your love! If ever you feel like you need to reach out please do! Lots of love, from Australia xx
Thank you Christina for sharing your heartfelt story.
@Wesley Hinson would love to know about the herbs/medication and your success story
We are all different but same in God's eye. So beautiful wish her wonderful life.
Hi Samuel, thank you so much for your beautiful words.
My daughter did these things, some even more severe. A face close to hers would get shoved back with her hand. Jumping in her crib all night culminating in ripping everything off her bed, sheet, blanket, bumper pad, then her clothes and diaper, finally passing out from exhaustion at dawn. Non verbal, just growling. Climbing on everything. Twirling like a helicopter. Running with her arms spread out at her sides making her hands hit the walls in the hall. She ignored her name. She barricaded herself in her room to be alone. Constantly toe walking. All the doctors I asked about this made it clear they thought I was the problem. Her dad and my mom assured me we could SPANK her out of it! Several doctors advised spanking as well. I kept reading and I got a clue from a tv show with Ted Danson called Ted. He played a doctor and he had a patient with Aspergers. The light bulb went off! I found a doctor, took a list of behaviors with me, he tested her. 👍 I worked with her every day and when kindergarten started ehe was ready! Knew her name, tied her shoes and was potty trained. She loved school. She was an honors student, went to college, went to grad school, works in her field. She still lives with me but shes doing great. She got her drivers license two years ago! Shes now 35. 💖
Your super mom! Your love covered her. ❤️
your story is amazing and i am living it...right now! How in the world did you treat all of the above if you don't mind me asking, we have seen many doctors, different types, girl, almost 4.
Dr Oyalo herbs is really helpful, and have helped my son improve with his speech and social skill complete. My son now responds to name, his aggressive behavior has stoped completely and he now sings and says what he want.
I’m watching this because my doctor wants my 2 yr old girl evaluated. She does all of these things..but It’s so hard to tell because My 8 year old son did all of this growing up as well, yet he doesn’t have autism.
Hi lovely, it’s hard for anyone to know unless they are specialist in that field. If your dr is recommending it I would consider having her assessed. All of the things I shared are from personal experience as a mum that i saw before she had her assessment. ❤️ hope this helps. All the best with your little ones xx
She has her pacifier just like my son does and I love it lol thank you so much for sharing your story!
My 7 yr old has a different dad and he was such a chill little guy and my 2yr old son with my husband now has been a challenge as far as behavior in public like tantrums and I had never experienced that plus he has speech delay not one word has he said and running into the door, flapping hands, tip toeing got me to thinking and I think he must be on the spectrum
He is my joy so much love ❤️
I helped my son reduce aggression and improve in speech and social skill with the help of Dr Oyalo herbal supplement I got from RUclips here. His herbs work perfectly
Just because she does repetitive things dosnt mean anyone is on a spectrum. Your video just highlights what most kids do. They are children they are learning stop labelling them as anything but unique individuals. According to the spectrum everyone in the world can be diagnosed. We are a culture of Over analysing and labelling everything. who is to say what is normal and what is not? She is beautiful and healthy stop labelling her as anything but that!!!
I wholeheartedly agree. My 3 year old does such things and other non autistic children as well. This video is the perfect example as over sensitive parent wants to label her children and others. Autistic/autistic spectrum (as the spectrum suggest) children are different by interacting with other children and so diverse behaviour. I have a friend with 7 year old as son. Have a good night.
Thank you for your feedback.
I totally agree. This is mind blowing to see a total normal child being labeled as something just because parents don't know how to deal with their sensitive child.. My boy was not any different than that. I would never ever have consider limiting him and compartimentalazing him just because he was/is a sensitive human.
My boy at 2 only wanted to wear one shirt, that has Mickey on it. So we have to buy few more of the same. He only start really speaking at 4 years old. Then never stopped after that. Now speaks 3 languages. He always had to carry a toy with him no matter where we went. He wanted things and food to be arrange his ways otherwise it would be the worst thing in the world. He hates to has his hands or face dirty, always been like that. He has a strong sense of tastes and smell. He ate very little amount and variety of food. He is 12 today and still doesn't want his veggies to touch any other food.im sure if I was any conventional parent I would have had so much difficulties with my boy. He can't focus on one thing only.. he is always doing 2-3 things at the same time.
I consider him super smart, fast minded, amazing observer, intelligent, strong minded, caring for his own feelings more than trying to please others.
That's perfect. I think our kids are more sensitive nowadays to teach us parents to be more unconditionally loving and less authoritative.. to teach us parents patience and understanding. Without having to label them something, so then they can actually be treated better.
Old conventional ways don't work.
Totally agree
Totally agree❤
She is adorable!! My 2 kids who are 6 and 8 years and normal would do 90% the same as she does when they were toddlers.
It's very interesting isn't it? So much of this is normative behaviour for a 2 year old. I guess it's the focus and length of time of these behaviours that makes it notable.
(I learned to talk about 'normative behaviours' rather than normal people at uni last year and I think it's an important distinction. That way this adorable girl Charlotte is not being labelled 'abnormal' - she's just a kid on the autism spectrum. Sometimes the term 'neurologically diverse' is used to talk about difference as well. Not a criticism - just something to think about :)
yes, I have a 2 year old girl and she also does 90% of this things all the time
I feel like this is 100% toddler behavior!
Thank you, as I mentioned in the video it took us by surprise on the day but once it was all explained to us it all made sense. In short, it is the way in which she performed the tasks throughout the assessment, to an untrained eye we would miss however to a specialist they picked it up straight away.
Normal?
She is beautiful, she is a star child, who came to the earth with so much light and love to share. I send love through to you as a parent bc with it it has many challenges, blessings and lessons.
Lorie Ladd and some other lightworks share more about this spiritual perspective... our children are here to teach us so much. If your inclined to search on RUclips.
Much love x
Hi Amber, Thank you so much!! Your words are so beautiful and fills my heart with joy to read them!! You are such a kind soul!! Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing I will definitely look her up!! Lots of love back xo
Thank You So Much This Has Inlighting Alot For Me Because Since Having Our Daughter There Are Things I don't understand and i haven't seen in my other Children.

I have a 3 year old autistic son and he did/does almost all of these. Picky eating is so challenging because it is paired with so many additional restrictive preferences.
Hi Tiffany, Thank you for sharing your story. Picky eating is very challenging I am hearing you. Do you have any suggestions on encouraging new types of foods? Charlotte struggles a lot with the sensory aspect of fussy eating. x
Wesley Hinson Autism is not something you simply “cure” and not with herbs. Please don’t spread misinformation.
What a beauty. God bless her ❤ mom you rock!
Thank you so much lovely!!! Thank you for connecting and watching our video xx
She is such a beautiful little girl!
Thank you so much, we are very blessed xx
I feel like I was watching my 27 mo old. We go in for her evaluation on Apr 1 but she is displaying so, so many identical behaviors. She is nin verbal with functional communication but does know how to pull us to what she wants. She loves water and sensory play in the sink, she flap her arms and hands constantly, she giggles and laughs in the middle of the night, she also has to have things exactly her way or she has a meltdown, she sits inside of boxes and toy bins to play all the time, she unpacks and repack things all day long and will not branch out with her food either.
Just want to say what a beautiful little girl
Actually in about an hour my 2 year old has an Autism evaluation. This just helped me notice that the sitting in the corner behind the computer chair could very well be another symptom.. along with the shuddering (and thanks for helping me put a name to it.. I had no idea how to explain it haha)
Hi Allysa, I hope the evaluation went well. It always such a nerve-wracking process! Thank you so much for connecting xx
How did it go
Hey! How did the autism evaluation go? I am looking for information on what they look at specifically.
@Wesley Hinson I have since learned I’m autistic as well and I’ve learned a lot since. So.. I’d like to point out your child isn’t suffering from anything other than suffering from this very toxic mindset around his neurotype. Also it isn’t curable nor is it something that needs cured. Your child is still autistic. Always will be. If he appears “less autistic” that’s either because he’s been traumatized into masking or he is in a really accommodating environment where he isn’t feeling unsupported and dysregulated.
This is very informative. Thank you for sharing. Your children are beautiful!
She is beautiful … some of the behaviours are just what toddlers do but i guess it would depend on to what degree. ❤️🇨🇦
My daughters did and do a lot of this things, i was just diagnosed with ADHD (like my mum and my sisters already many years ago- i was overlooked but it was obvious, i just masked a lot), and we are struggling with some things with our younger daughter, like extreme meltdowns for example, since she is 4 and a half, but are not taken seriously. People say, but autism looks different, she is too social to have it and she does not look "autistic". She does have some autistic traits tough, but not that many. I feel exhausted, i seem to be the only one that is really worried about her and thinks she needs help asap. I am trying to get information as much as possible to find out what is going on and if it could be autism or if it is something else. This content is helpful, really helpful.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. I'm in school for social work and my goal is to advocate for children with autism. You're doing such an amazing job mom and I know your little princess will thrive perfectly in this world. Her outfits are so cute..such a fashionista 💕 God bless you 🙏🏾
Charlotte is beautiful. Looks so much like my daughter Cate
Hi Alison, thank you so much! Thanks for connecting and reaching out! I think she's pretty cute too but I might be biased =) how old is your daughter? x
My daughter is an attorney, When I think back to her early childhood, she probably would have been diagnosed with ADHD. But because she was so intelligent the school just gave her harder work to do to keep her interested. Is she on the spectrum? Perhaps. But I do think we are too quick to try to put a "diagnosis" on children today.
as i said in another comment: why be sorry when you could just be safe though? my mom shrugged these things off for years for the same reason, which led me to be undiagnosed autistic until later in life & leaving me with immense confusion, emotional trauma & comorbid borderline personality disorder.
it’s also not as simple as having these traits and being autistic. so much goes into the diagnostic process. 16+ hours of monitoring for some people

Hi Elise, Thank you so much! I really value your kind words xx
I’m not an autism expert but I noticed that she does actually have joint attention in a lot of your videos which is an important factor of nonverbal communication as I’m sure you are aware with multiple children on the autism spectrum. She pets the chicken and looks up at you or someone behind the camera. She falls on the floor and looks up at whoever is behind the camera. I notice she also does it a few other times. I guess I know that videos don’t show everything but level 2-3 with that much joint attention seems like a disconnect. Does she index finger point?
All children look toward their parents for praise/ conformation that what they are doing it alright. That wouldn’t be considered a sign of autism
@@rangernat100 There is a huge amount of autism research on this top actually. I am a social science PhD researcher, but I am not specialized in autism. However, I have read some studies that are very specific to this. Lack of joint attention (or looking up at parents when you do something) is a huge early warning sign of autism. You are completely correct that children look to parents for praise as a normal developmental milestone. However, sometimes when children have neuro divergence they lose this early trait. It is very good that she is doing that. I am not saying she isn't on the spectrum, but in the more severe cases - joint attention is completely missing. If you do the Mchat - at 18 months - which is the single best early autism screener we have - there are questions that que that idea of joint attention. Pointing by 18 months is another huge developmental milestone. When this is delayed past 18 months it is the single other largest red flag. I just thought I would point this research out for those who are concerned about autism on here. These aren't black and white things, but early warning signs if they are missing. I read a research study that is very poinaint regarding autism - the research said it isn't what the child was doing that worried them so much as what they WEREN'T doing. So if they are missing certain social ques like joint attention, absence of receptive language, or not using an index finger point - these are all bigger autism early red flags.
I want to clarify if my comment came off questioning her diagnosis. I was more trying to point out she has a lot of positives in the non-verbal communication arena for parents coming to this video looking for early warning signs. The joint communication I see is a very good thing towards communication progression!
Thank you for your feedback.
@@MrsHendersonCo I saw in a video update recently that her communication was coming by leaps and bounds. So happy to see intervention and therapy is helping her. Like I said, she had great positive communication signs so I'm glad you have found therapy success.
Lovely little girl. All the best to her and you all!
These videos remind me so much of my 5yo at this age. I have been looking at a lot lately of the ages between 6 months and 2.5 and cannot believe how I did not realize that she literally never answered me I was talking to her, was bally. Playful but no interaction with me. But because she made eye contact and smiled if played with like "I'm going to get you" and tickle at 1 she would run off laughing.
She would just play and I call her name. talk to her. It's so obvious in my videos but i didnt see it although i knew what sensory issues were. She was in OT from 5 months old. At 10months old was diagnosed with a Sensory processing disorder but i kept being told it doesn't mean autism. She had other health issues that I feel covered some of the behaviours but by 18 months old it was obvious. Except to the therapists and a ton of doctors uneducated in girls
She did this packing and unpacking ALL DAY LONG from about 15 months old (didnt sit until 14 months so she was delayed) 24-26months
But because she was in an intensive PT and OT program from month's old twice a week...the signs most see she learned thriugh therapy. Learned to wave. Learned to play WITH me but really simply copied what she seen. She did learn to look more at us but never did we force it and even at 5 will quickly break eye contact and I will never try to change that if she feels uncomfortable
She didnt talk until 2 but took off. She started playing with dolls but not truly playing. She would run back and forth over 75-100 times from the kitchen to the couch to slam into it.
Extreme meltdowns if she got hurt, unexpected touches or loud sounds from 10 ish months. which at that time she was just army crawling and would repeatedly bang her head on the ground. Which continued until 3yo with the banging her head.
Most doctor's kept saying it's normalaand for attention but she didn't want attention. she did it when hurt orbtouched or whatever. She would go to another room to do it as she knew in stopped her. As soon as any doctor seen it they agreed that was more to feel the pain and shes overwhelmed
Food was a huge issue. severe oral aversions that were blamed on medical issues and that also hid that aspect. Shes gtube fed since infancy and is making progress now with years of feeding therapy to tolerate soft foods
Almost all things listed are not now seen..her signs of autism just have changed as she got older. She has adhd as well which is very common to have both
She has ana amazing imaginative play skills now. Amazing. Lots of anxiety with kids and socially but is doing well.
Gracias por este video. Me ayuda muchisimo ver a un niño autista. Puedo darme cuenta de lo que le sucede a mi bebé al ver a otro bebé actuar de la misma manera. Gracias. Saludos desde Argentina.
Thank you so much for sharing, it brings me comfort because our daugher is clearly on the spectrum and does/dislikes some of those things as well. She’s now 4 1/2, we’ve started OT (which she loves!) and we are seeking out a diagnosis. We are having toileting issues, rigid way of thinking, very routine oriented, doesn’t like changes, trouble w eye contact, focusing/following directions can be a challenge, not responding to her name, and emotional outbursts. She’s highly verbal which we know we are lucky. Yet what makes me feel like I’m going CRAZY is when people close to us - friends and family - have told me “I don’t see it, I don’t think she’s on the spectrum.” But my husband and I know our daughter. It’s especially noticeable now that our son is nearly 2, we see such a difference in how he relates to and responds to us and the world compared to my daugher, even at this early age. Some days I feel so overwhelmed and alone. We need a parents of ASD children support group! Will definitely be subscribing to your channel🙂
Hi lovely, thank you so much for sharing your journey. I'm so happy to hear that she loves her OT. It makes such a difference when they enjoy going to therapy! Oh lovely I'm so sorry its so hard on you. It's so easy for people to jump to conclusions and make comments when they really have no understanding of it at all. It's very much the same with hubby and I, so many people say wow the kids are doing great, but they might see them for a 5min quick conversation they don't see them 24 hours a day. Please don't feel like you are crazy at all, mum and dad know their children best xx Thank you so much! Maybe I should create a support group on FB or something xx Sending lots of love to you and your beautiful family xx
@@MrsHendersonCo a FB support group would be amazing!🤩 thanks for your reply.❤️
My son has recently been diagnosed with ASD level 2 at 2.5 years old. The shared enjoyment/joint attention she is showing (looking back at you while doing something she likes) is sooooo wonderful to see! It's those small things that I really look forward to and bring me a lot of joy. Lots of love and strength from one special needs mama to another ❤
Aww lovely to meet you Katie! Thank you for reaching out to us and tell us a bit about yourself and your son!! Lots of Love to you back!! So happy to have you here as part of our little community!! The little things are certainly what keep us going every day! We celebrate all the wins no matter how small they are!! It so exciting to see progress in our little ones! Never give up hope and keep on advocating for your little man you're doing a wonderful job xx
Thank you so much for making this video!
i'm autistic and i was diagnosed when i was a baby
THANK YOU FOR SHARING VIDEO WHICH IS HELPFUL TO NEW PARENTS.🙏
So nice of you, than you so much for your lovely feedback x
I can see all these same traits in my grandson who i look after everyday, he is 20 months now and here in the UK he wont get seen by anyone until 24 months! Doctors here wont do anything until age 2 or above, i can see changes in him all the time, he used to love to watch the cars going past but now he runs between my legs and hides, hes actually a very good toddler, the sad thing is not everyone understands him
Dr Oyalo herbs is really helpful, and have helped my son improve with his speech and social skill complete. My son now responds to name, his aggressive behavior has stoped completely and he now sings and says what he want.
Your children are absolutely gorgeous!
Hi Diana, thank you so much. x
Totally normal for a curious, intelligent and smart 2 years old kid. If she didn't do any of that then worry, I wouldn't want to see my daughter sitting in a chair all day staring at nothing. You have a healthy daughter and be thankful for that.. she is simply a little girl enjoying life.
Thank you for your feedback. Lovely to hear that!
Thanks! I will be recording all of these sections for my peds. Literally my 2 year old daughter does everything in the video but line up stuff.....
Sending you and your beautiful family lots of love. ❤️
I’m not a big RUclipsr but thought I’d let you know I’m here and I hear you!! I have a 5 year old girl who’s diagnosed and I have a 4 year old going through assessments! I also have a little boy who definitely needs an assessment too and then my 10 month old shows signs too! It’s all I’ve known as a parent though ❤️
Thank you Dr Oyalo 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
@@bolinhong2598 you can’t heal austim it’s not a disease 🙄😴
Hi thank you much for put this out there my daughter does alot of thing ur daughter does it only recently came to my attention. I have a better understanding now thank u so much xx
Hello, thank you so much for reaching out. I am so happy this has helped you have a better understanding. If you ever have any questions please drop them in the comments of one of my videos or connect with me over on IG. Id be so happy to chat with you. xx
She is adorable 🥰 such a cutie pie
You have a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment xx
Thank you so much for sharing it really helps me to see similar things my daughter does shes 20 months. 🥰🥰🥰 your daughter is beautiful.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment! xx
Very informative video... Thank you for sharing... Charlotte is so precious.
Thank you so much for your lovely words.
Seems like any other kid . She shows a lot of facial expression
Thank you for your feedback
Lining up the cars.... Eh our oldest son did that every day ( 30 years ago) We thought it funny. Now it makes me think. I line up things too.. My wife smiles...
Don't forget people might do a lot with the gift of aspergus. I can concentrate like mad on sound and quality recordings. Always hearing things that others don't observe. Accept the gift from God's hand and use it for His glory.
My nearly two year old daughter likes to pull all my clothes out of my drawer and sit in there, she doesn’t talk, pulls her hair, can’t use cutlery or drink from a cup, she will scream and cry when I wash and dry her hair, even putting it up or touching her hair makes her scream, she HATES being dressed and undressed, doesn’t know how to use toys besides throw them or give them to me, she has pulled out stuff and just sits in there, screams when her face or hands are wiped, very very sensitive, points to things as communication, she loves dogs, struggles to sleep and more. It’s heartbreaking for me and is seeing a paediatrician soon
Hi Breana, sending you lots of love, I hope the paediatrician is able to help you! It’s not an easy process and always here for a chat or my DMs on IG! These things all sound just like Charlotte. Praying for you and hope your paediatrician appointment goes well xx
Hi, try with protocol
Nemechek, its only omega 3 fish oil, olive oil and inulin. Great results with my daughter of 2 years old in only 3 months
She is adorable. ❤️
What a beautiful little girl! God bless you and your family. I have 2 grandsons that are autistic in the same family, it’s truly heartbreaking!
This video could’ve been of my granddaughter. She’s 5 and received her diagnosis of level 2-3 last fall.
She's so precious! When you say continuous, how long would she pack and unpack things for?
Thank you so much!
@@MrsHendersonCo but wouldn't this just simply suggest that she's in the enveloping schema? And a lot of her other actions are very clear signs of the trajectory schema. I'm not saying that you're wrong for having her evaluated but what can be seen in these videos are very typical 2 year old's actions and interests. When you were trying to get her attention by calling her name, she was very clearly deep into an activity and shouldn't be disturbed. And all the lining up of objects is mirroring what she probably sees you doing with washing the dishes and putting out clothes to dry etc.
@@BlablaAli I was inclined to think the same, but when you work with Autistic children, you can clearly see the nuances that make this little girl's behaviours a little different from the typical.
@@BlablaAli i agree with you.
She is adorable...
All the things you wrote here about her are the same as my girl does..
what about reading or looking at books?? My girl doesn't listen to my story or have any interest in books...
It's hard to teach her names of stuff..or tell a story..
Thank you so much, Charlotte loves to look at the pictures in the books and listen to stories. I have been reading to both of the kids since they were in my tummy. I have a love of books that I wanted to pass on to them. Have you tried short stories that may have only a few words on each page? I find shorter books work best with our kids. xx
Thanks for sharing what a sweet girl!
You are so kind, thank you! We are very blessed with our two children xx
My son is being seen by a child behavior specialist in a few months for diagnosis
Hi lovely, Thank you for reaching out! All of the best with your son and his assessment xx
My daughter is 3.4 years old now. Yet to speak. Some of her behaviors are same like your daughter like always running , picky eater, aversions to cloths. I have never seen her lining up toys, toe walking, hiding, hand flapping , chewing.. i am waiting for the diagnosis..
I am really confused now. Any one plz advise me
my daughter rarely responds to her name as well, not yet diagnosed with asd since she is one and most placed dont diagnosis till 18 months. but i seeked help from her docter when she wasnt meeting milestones and now she just got into early intervention program called first steps,
I helped my son reduce aggression and improve in speech and social skill with the help of Dr Oyalo herbal supplement I got from RUclips here. His herbs work perfectly
Hi, Very interesting video but I have to say I'm confused. I have 4 grandchildren between 2 and 4 and between them they do a lot of the things shown here and they seem just the usual sort of things little ones do - most of it. More unusual was the repetitive empty and refill behaviours. But one of my GC did a lot of the tip toe walks - at 2.5 years he is fluent in two languages. One is a line them upper. Plus colour coordinating piles of all his toys (and he has a lot). He's grown out of that but did have an intense need to group every toy (and anything else) into colour piles. He also did a lot of lining up. If I took him shopping he would take the boxes off the shelves in shops and group them into patterns. He is also bilingual. He also always had to take special toys with him and would carry it around the play ground for example, while he played. At nearly 4 he no longer does any of these things. Another GC is obsessed with her cuddly toys and at four has a huge collection. She used to insist on carrying all of them downstairs to her play area - even before she could walk (at 10 months). She was an early and articulate talker, very observant of people and aware of what is going on around her - far more so than other children. But she regularly does that hiding thing and used to want to build nests (actually they all love doing that) and is v intimidated by crowds and noise. etc etc
I guess thats all a long way round to wondering if these cues are ALL needed for autism to be suspected? Because, except for the obsessive empty and replace, in different ways, my GC all do many of the things she does?
Dr Oyalo herbs is really helpful, and have helped my son improve with his speech and social skill complete. My son now responds to name, his aggressive behavior has stoped completely and he now sings and says what he want.
I have a 26 months son and have some of the symptoms, but I'm quiet confused. My first concern is that he doesn't talk like two word phrases but instead jargons on some things. He barely responds on his name being called but he make eye contact when he does respond. He likes lining up his toys as well but sometimes he plays it typicaly like pretend his two dino toys fight. He doesn't pay attention when you try to teach him something, however what surprises me is that he learns things on his own and does it very well like navigating on our smart phones gallery or watch youtube videos on his own and he knew exactly what to do like touch dragging the suggested videos from below or flipping the phone to see more choices. Am I just paranoid? Or should I trust my parental instinct that something is wrong?
Hi lovely, thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your story. From parent to parent my advise would be to trust your gut/instinct. If you are at all concerned, I would definitely talk to your GP/doctor. They will be able to advise you on the next steps and refer you to a paediatrician. I am sorry this probably isn't what you want to hear, I just know that I will always go with my gut, we as parents know our little ones best and I have always thought if I am concerned about something then that is reason enough to see the GP about it
I’m autistic and towel texture makes me feel physically sick. Micro fibre towels have been a godsend.
Charlotte your an angel. 💕
Video starts at 5:35
I honestly think my daughter had all but one of these. She is two, but I'm not worried about her. My son had a lot of quirks too and still does but they outgrow a lot of this stuff. My daughter had a language delay but we put her on riboflavin (for her eczema) and overnight her words opened up and now she speaks normally. I honestly think most of this stuff will just work itself out.
👌👌👌
Sometimes but not in all cases. You can’t tell a parent who knows her child that you think most of the “stuff will work itself out” there is nothing to work out. That little girl is who she is and so cute too. Her mum never said that’s the case with all children as some kids do, do some of these things and don’t have an autism diagnoses but doesn’t mean if they do display these behaviours then you should just not think anything of it.
Thank you @Emmaslifeofriley for your support xo
@@MrsHendersonCo your welcome. It’s not easy to share your life as you have done and for that you should feel proud. I’m glad I stumbled upon your account today as it was a nice insight. You have a lovely family xxx
Everybody and everyone has a diagnosis, including myself...
She is adorable, you are blessed with very special children. I think god loves you a little more than others. 🙏🙂
Thank you so much!! We are very blessed. Once upon a time we thought it wasn't possible for us to have children so we are very blessed to have had these two beautiful kiddies
@@MrsHendersonCo Hoping to see more of your videos. 😇😇
your kids are beautiful and you are such a wonderful mum.
Thankyou so much for sharing I'm unsure on my daughter she saying few words but very load screams alot no eye contact x
She is sooo adorable brought me back to my little doll at that age 😍 ❤
She is so cute, I'm a firm believer that their to many boosters have a play in this. Just the fact unnecessary additives could be omitted. Why are they even in them?
Thank you so much for your comment.
VERY CUTE AND ADORABLE
Thank you so much 😊
Does she pointing and responding to her name??
Krásná holčička ❤️
Okay so long story short for me but question my daughter pulls out her hair tie and hair bows. Much more symptoms but we are on a waiting list I’m gonna put some videos together now !
Thank you for sharing this. A worried mother here. My girl is 16 months. We have some of this signs such as : fixated with water, spinning herself , sleep problems , toe walking. But on the other hand she laughs at me , smiles back and seems to understand when I’m crying. She responds to her name , not every time though. Smiles at her pediatrician and her grandmother, waits for a video chat or poses for a picture. Her favorite thing to do is banging toys on the ground or putting her fingers on every hole she finds. She also covers and pushes back her dolls eyes . Please tell my your opinion since you know a lot more about these. I forgot to mention that she comes to my arms when I call her and she brings me things she likes or needs to be done( the bottle of water when she is thirsty ) . She babbles and has difficulty following instructions, we are a bilingual family :/ ...your little one is cute and I pray she’s doing fine 💜
Hi lovely, your daughter sounds absolutely beautiful 😍 such a sweet little thing! My advice would be to share your concerns with your paediatrician. Have you discussed it with them? From a mothers perspective there are a lot of positive things she does but it’s hard to say. I would definitely speak with your paediatrician as they have so much more experience and qualifications than I do. All the best lovely and sending lots of love from Australia xx
@@MrsHendersonCo thank you so much 💜 merry Christmas 🎁🎄
@@castleofglass7897 We're a bilingual family in the same situation. Would you like that we shared how things are going? Thanks!
@@rosad877 hi there Rosa. Here where I live they say as long as a child looks in the eye, responds to name and copies gestures or expressions it’s everything alright. Now, all children develop at their own pace so we have to give them time. As for bilingualism it isn’t a concern they say 🙄 my daughter is now 2 she started talking a few months ago . Slowly but she says everything she hears and it takes a little bit more time to get to a conversation with her. So just wait and she will make the difference between the languages by herself when she reaches to the point. With love ❤️
@@castleofglass7897 thank you very much for your reply. I'm glad that she's making progress and little by little taking both languages. My baby is 14 months old now. Is there any way to send you a private message? I would like to ask you a few things privately. Lots of love ♥
As an adult female with autism I can tell you it gets easier
Thank you so much lovely for reaching out and connecting xx
What do you do to for her to respond to her name when being called?
I just saw something today about mother's when pregnant took Tylenol... That they think that is what is causing Autism.
She is adorable. Your background music is annoying.
Very informative 💕🙏🏾
Haven't seen any abnormality in Charlotte in fact this the behavior of all toddler's.
Most of this is standard common behavior. We are all so over the top now with all this.
It’s so hard to tell because a lot of these things are normal toddler stuff.
Hi Rachel, thank you for your feedback. I am sharing what we saw in our daughter, by no means am I claiming to be a medical professional.
