DISCLAIMER: Hey everyone! I made this video and a few others early in our families autism journey so there may be language used that is no longer considered correct. In particular the word "severe". I was just going with what I knew at the time. I am still learning everyday about how to best support my daughter and her peers. Thanks for understanding!
I think most of these are typically two year old behaviors. I taught children with autism and their behaviors were so different from these. I guess according to these behaviors we all must have it. Oh, I have two grandchildren with autism and they are absolutely nothing like this.
Seriously kids always knocking things down. Flapping hand when they got frustrated or excited. Speech delayed ok I can get that. And what kid do t like jumping on couch or bed. Don’t get it. But wow. Thank you for sharing.
@@Siouxsi-Sioux these things are all behaviours so of course you will see them in normal children. The difference is the persistence and the amount of spent doing these activities for children with autism. The behaviours are extremely persistent and they do not grow out of them.
@@Siouxsi-Sioux you're correct but there's not anything in it for the doctor if your child is okay. Remember that the doctors not always right. There's nothing in it for the doctor if you're not sick or if something's not wrong
@@thatdailymamaRN here with a 21 and 18 year old and 3 year old with autism. Another thing was he would not answer to his name, didn’t say momma or daddy until he was almost 3. He repeated many words and phrases. He looked like a “normal kid” to most people who just happened to tippy toe all the time. He was not social with anyone except immediate family. Most people will not see the early signs when they are not with the kid as much as the mom is. I raised two kids previously and am in no ways a let’s diagnose everything type of parent. My kids had to be tuff because I was that type of nurse. It was just a feeling in my gut early on something was off and I kept seeing the delays and odd behaviors. My first two were normal to advanced on mile stones so I tried to be cautiously optimistic that every kid is different, but at his 18 month check up I was asking for an evaluation after ruling out hearing or vision issues. People are going to be judgmental but there are others that will appreciate your content
She looks so normal to me. My son had speech delay and was diagnosed with autism. He is 25 now, he is a mechanical engineer and graduated with honors, but he still has trouble making friends
Isn't it amazing how quickly we become experts out of love when we're suddenly in an unexpected situation?!!! My daughter, now 21, definitely displayed these behaviors except in speech. I applaud you for accepting the truth and intervening early. My daughter has far surpassed her challenges in acclimating in society and her empathy for others is richer than the majority of others. She attended Julie Billiart school and they prepared her well to live a productive, satisfying independent life. Don't stop fighting for her....and remember to pray for her. ❤
@@kathyplaga5721 I'm happy for your daughter. Many people live normal lives. Elon Musk Albert Einstein Bill Gates Dan aykroyd Jerry Seinfeld are all autistic and did those things.
I have joking said in the past that God had me become a Social worker (Bachelors level) to prepare me for my two children. One is dyslexic and one has ADHD. Both are grown now but boy did I have to fight for them all through their school years ! I was blessed in that I love researching, so did alot of learning and pushing schools to do what was best for each one. NEVER give up fighting for your daughter!!!!❤
Thankful for mothers like you who put the signs of autism out there for others to see… I am a great grandma concerned for my great grandchild. This has been most helpful. Thank you.

Just because a child walks on their toes doesn't mean he or she has "Autism". My friend's child walked on her toes for years and graduated in the top 5 percent of her class then went on to college and became a doctor.
My 12 month old has just been referred to child development services as he is showing many signs. Hand flapping, not responding to name, taps all objects, toys and surfaces repeatedly etc. Thanks for your video. It's most appreciated by others who are going through the same thing!
Leah always taps objects of knocks on them too :) I’m really glad this video helped you and I hope I can make more and help as many ppl learn about the signs and how we can help our kids. You are ahead of the game asking questions so early! Let me know if you ever have any questions :)

Wow, there are such awful comments on here! I am so sorry that people have been so rude! Thank you for being bold and sharing this video to help others! I have an autistic son. It was videos like this that helped me realize what was going on with him. I think every mom of a child of with autism has heard the comment, “oh that’s normal for a 2 year old” etc. NO ONE but a parent of a child with autism understands. Thank you for sharing! Your daughter is adorable!
People are always so mean to me and my family on here we stopped posting for a whole year. Trying to come back though now that it’s been a while and I have been able to accept things more and be less sensitive. But ya ppl suck and don’t get it
I have a child with autism who has grown into a nice young man. The most important thing we did was eliminate carbs and milk and do a keto diet. No sugar (no juice), no seed oils, no carbs, real food cooked from scratch. We would give him homemade bone broth either beef or chicken instead of juice. He did so much better with animal fat and animal protein in his diet. He came to me after a week and said, "mom, I feel so much better, we should have done this a long time ago."
Sounds like you starved him. I wouldn't recommend an elimination diet for a child without the guidance of a medical professional, it's an unsafe thing to do.
Our lil one we adopted was born addicted. She is ADHD and OCD. I’m grateful she’s doing this well. She doesn’t seem to have autism. Thank you for sharing your info ✌️😘
I cried during this heart-breaking video. It took me back to our Little Hazle, & the life ours was, at the time. She is now 13. Hug to all the parents, grands., or guardian. We are all with you!

I have worked with kids on the spectrum for about 18 years and I agree with all your observations. Another one is avoiding eye contact. Early intervention is the best thing you can do to assist your child in leading their best life
@@kerrimaida2569 I totally agree, where I live the waiting list is 4 years or more for speech and language, its disgraceful, my grandson is nonverbal he is 3 years old, cant get anyone to assess him other than pay now, it has went from £800 up to £1,800!!! Professionals know parents want the best for their children they also know waiting list are horrendous, so in desperation we will pay anything to get our autisic children sorted even taking out loans. I myself have worked for many many years with children and adults with autisim, challenging behaviour and mental health issues, its hard work but much harder for the proe living with these issues, the UK government have dragged us down to the pits, they knew 20 years ago things were bad and getting worse but now they wait until we can't see a way out, disgraceful.
I just saw an Australian Dr who did a study on Autism. She did vitamin A infusions and had positive results with her patients! Prayers for you and your daughter
This has helped me so much my daughter is nearly 2 and hand stims, bounces on the couch, opens and closes the same cupboard door, eye rolls, sometimes walks on tippy toes and when really upset will go away into a corner and want to be left alone and forces her head back sometimes. I don't know if she is autistic but I believe she could be so I thank you for this
Thank you for doing this. Our youngest is now 29. We took him to speech becuse he could hit when frustrated but not tell us why. I have learned a lot about advocating. It should make people feel better that even with his difficuties, he now has a masters degree and is working. Keep up the good fight. It is worth it.
Wow I would have just looked at her as a typical 2 yr old. My daughter didn't speak until she was three. She doesn't have autism and teaches English now.
Hi. May I please ask? Your child spoke perfectly in that 3 years or that's when she started learning? I'm worried mine is turning 3 in two months but she only know some words but cannot construct a sentence. I'm scared to get her examined
@@mmathapeloangel7992 Why are you scared? I got my child examined so that she could receive help. My daughter would say words here and there at the age of three but wouldn't didn't speak in sentences until she was 4 . She's 24 now. Once she started talking ,she perfected the English language. Throughout school she was play writing..lol. I hate when she corrects my grammar. lol..Please get your child examined because if it is autism you can start intervention. She might be like my daughter who just needed to be around other children in a school like setting early.

I had a speech delay and didn't eat mainly because I had tonsillitis and constant ear infections. Once the tubes in my ears were put in and tonsils were taken out, that took care of the speech delays and eating problems. I went to speech class, but also once you are around kids a lot like in preschool or a day care, that helps out a lot as well. At least now you can get to your kids early with therapy thanks to videos like this and getting to see the doctor to set up a plan if they are diagnosed as autistic.
@@listenup1166 a lot of autistic kids live very normal lives like Elon Musk and Albert Einstein and Bill Gates Dan aykroyd Jerry Seinfeld many other people are autistic and live very good lives
@@listenup1166 I think you're right people tend to overreact and get paranoid about things. The more they hear about something the more they think it. Training imagination to respond to imaginary circumstances.
Thank you for putting this video out. My son has been diagnosed with Autism and he used to rock himself alot, needed a speech pathologist and does engage in repetitive activities. The Regional Center can provide different kinds of help for these children with developmental disabilities.
It's just great patents are caring about figuring it out. As a teacher I would have many teens whose patents would never admit their kid was "off". Holding them to same expectations wasn't helping the ternura The teen was missing out on ab I e p
As someone who was not diagnosed until almost 60. I too seemed “fine”. But my life was an exhausting and overwhelming struggle. I had a career, spouse, children etc. All the “normal” things. Had I been diagnosed earlier it would have helped me understand what was going on in my brain and body. I would have had more grace for myself and for others. I would have had more support in areas that I needed it in. My health care would have been completely different and more accurate. This mother is being responsible when seeing and recognizing a cluster of symptoms that warrant investigation. We’ve come a long way since the 1940s, especially in diagnosing girls /women who can present very differently in autism. There are literally 1000s of people walking around undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or misunderstood because of this neurological condition that people are born with.
Daughter came to me at 16 said thought she was autistic, answered so many of our concerns over the yrs that had been dismissed. Now diagnosed and still struggles with life in general even simple tasks, she says it's like she feels everything and it hurts inside. Mild or not getting help early on is a must as it helps them understand and set up strategies for life
She is beautiful and an incredible task at hand but with a loving family she will accomplish everything she on this earth for. Hugs and hugs and thank you for sharing this journey with us searching for answers .
@@cealcat7063 Leah is ..Well very much the same but also different in some ways! I know I haven’t uploaded much this last year but I’m hoping to be back to full time content by 2025. It’s been a hard transition lately but we really miss our RUclips fam
My son is 5 of 6. He also head bangs and does a lot of repetitive or scripted speech. Not always words but repeated sounds. I’m recording it to show his doctor at his next visit to see what he thinks. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️
My great grandson is three. He is Autistic. I saw the signs,but I kept them to myself. When he never said a word, they got him tested. Great video, and please , show the other signs, to help other families to find out early, and get the proper help needed . I love my great grandson, how is a loving, happy boy. Very smart too. I’m going to learn sign language, so we can communicate better.
I think the biggest indicator her is being nonverbal in inaudible babbling at 2. Also, be aware of their lack of eye contact, social interactions and spinning, twirling, and excessive flipping of objects. Some of the other indicators, bouncing, tippy toes, flapping when they want something or anticipate something are normal expressive movements. Do observe your child for limited excessive and repetitive behaviors. As always, when I’m doubt and concerned, please consult your pediatrician. I applaud all of you mothers and caregivers for early intervention👏🏾👏🏾

I agree its not necesarily the individual things that can say whether a child has autism or not its a collectivism so many different traits that could quite possibly go hand in hand that would eventually help diagnose any problem pertaining to an autism diagnosis Comments from people stating " mine does that ..and doesn't have it" Are not obviously understanding what you are wonderfully describing To help people if they generally feel theres a problem with their childs development . Not for those who don't see any issues or delays with their childs development. A lovely daughter you have there ! I bet she gives you so much joy! 😘 Oh and much older now of course as I'm such a late contributer to your comment section . Take care and Much love 😘
thank you for this. other than not having a speech delay and making eye contact my two and a half year old has been showing signs for a long time. i will be talking to his new doc about getting looked at about this.
May god blesses you for sharing this video my granddaughter was diagnosed with autism 2 weeks ago she 2yrs old only say few words she goes to OT, PT, SP
Our Grand son is exhibiting all the traits and he is being given treatment with pediatric neurologist and speech therapy is also being given to him. Very slow progress indeed.
It absolutely can feel like an uphill battle. Patience is key because autism is primarily a developmental disability so it will usually take much longer to hit milestones in these younger years. Hang in there you are already doing a great job having him in speech therapy and supporting him ❤️
I have 2 things to say one a mother knows when something is wrong so stop telling her this is a normal behavior in toddler cause it's got nothing to do with your opinion your probably one of those parents that sees it and denies it because you treat it like a disease and 2 if you don't fight to get that diagnoses early you might never get it because they try not to put labels on kids which I get but it wasn't till I got my son diagnosed did he get the help he needed in school. So instead of saying oh this is normal behavior from a 5 10 min video you don't see the toddler every day and neither do I. Keep taking care of that sweet little angel your doing great and don't mind other people's comments.

What gives you the right to put down any parent that is simply giving their honest opinion, in what way is that putting down the parents that do have children with autism, and yes I agree with you on the fact that a mother does know when something is wrong with their child, I beleive this 100% , so why put down all other mothers who are simply stating the facts that just because a child has these symptoms, does not necessarily mean that your child has autism .All the facts are important to know if you truly want to help someone, and it is a fact that not all kids with these symptoms have autism. Everyone has a right to speak their truth.
We have three children an we're wondering if they are autistic, they are already diagnosed with ADHD and ODD but we're thinking their might be more but we don't know what
I have four kids, 13 grandkids and two great grandkids. This makes me sad and mad because this little girl is completely normal and her actions are normal also. Wow…
@@suzannecooley2955 this video is nearly 3 years old. She is five now she has extremely limited speech cannot answer questions and has significant sensory issues. She is not “completely normal.” She has severe autism
Why anyone would make such a comment is mind-boggling. You graciously made a video so that other parents have a resource about some early signs of autism. Your daughter is beautiful…& lucky to have you. God bless. :)
My 2 and half year old exhibits ALL the signs mentioned, diagnosed with level2 ASD. Earliest sign I noticed was between 6 and 8 months when I realises she wouldn't follow objects I throw upward. Still doesn't
Hi my son 3 and half now. Only speaks few words around 30. He understands everything but hard to learn new words. I have doctors appointments I hope he will be okay.
If delayed speech is his only symptom, and I mean only symptom, I don’t think autism is his problem. A little speech therapy maybe all he will need. My grandson was like this and he is doing fabulous now. I’m a retired nurse of working with disabled and neurodivergent kids and a little speech delay is easy t overcome.
Very interesting, I have a great grand child, sweet little boy doesn’t talk . His only communication is either growling or grunting and that’s all he does just noticed it and have been noticing it and he is two years old and maybe three months so I don’t know a lot about autism so your channel really was very interesting and I would like to see more because I’m concerned, but I really am afraid to say much because I’m not any kind of a specialist at all. Thank you for sharing what you did with me.😊
Stimming and toe walking are both behaviours that are linked to autism x other kids could have these traits too x but when there are 4 or 5 other traits added to this , this diagnosis is correct not nonsense
I agree.it is nonsense... Both my kids did all of these things and neither one started speaking till age 3.. even with speech and occupational therapy..there your average teenagers
This is dependent on the culture.when it comes to western cultures their kids have to behave very deceplin.when the kid is no deceplnie they thought kid is having autism. When this comes to other countries like Asian the kids are soo natural and they have the freedom to to do.
I understand where your coming from, i also have friends with an autistic son, in the beginning they were in denial, when relatives tried to say something was wrong they didnt want to agree , which is understanable, no one wants their child to have a disability or illness like this , but in time they knew what they had to do, and yes he did have autism it was diagnosed and then they got the help needed , he has since grown up and working fulltime, and doing just fine. So chin up you are a gd person and clearly you care , just give it some time and try not to stress to much, they will eventually see and know what they must do .
My partner is 70. He isn't diagnosed. He does that hand flapping ALL THE TIME. His social skills are bad, has meltdowns and doesn't think therapy could help. Early intervention is helpful but the resources just weren't there when he was a toddler.
I would add extreme shyness and dislike to strangers or even family members at an early age 4 months ish and does not smile when smiled at also early on...3 months ish. Do not fret.. there are a lot of videos and special teachers to help your child adjust to life. Also nutrition.
Thankyou for your video and was so helpful and a insight what My 2 yr old daughter Lilly is showing every sign you showed in this video of what Leah is doing. 5:54 My family has been seeing these signs and we have a up coming assessment to get answers and a possible diagnosis. Watching what your daughter does every step you show is like watching my daughter. I work in disability support work and I just know in my gut she has autism, even friends and family of mine with children with autism say they see it in my daughter. Will be following your family now and I find you very helpful in the information that just might help my daughter Lilly and our family 🥰
I’m so glad this helped sorta validate your thoughts and feelings on it all. I totally understand that gut feeling but also the second guessing. I just uploaded a new one last night with sort of a 2-3 yrs old update with some new clips as well :) glad to have you here!

I saw your video and cried alot ..... I have autistic brother...iam from india ,he is an introvert and 35yrs old.I have three boys who loves him so much and also understands what autism is all about. ...but the sad part is my bro n law's (husband's younger brother) son is hyper active and i noticed that he did have the signs of autism when he was 9 months....the first thing was not responding or reacting to his name when its been called around 10 to 15 times.....i was in doubt but still knew many things about autism and tried to watch the child closely.... I noticed every single signs related autism because he was so hyperactive and wasn't acting normal at all.....when i mentioned this to my kids they understood....but my husband couldn't....😢i kept crying and directly went to the childs mom and said that she need to consult a Doctor...she refused...and said tht her child is normal

Thank you so much, for a very informative video Your candor will be extremely helpful to so many parents Please continue to share your video's they are much needed just for parents to be aware and encouraged to get the helpful resources that are needed
My son at 2 years old had finger pointing, pretend play, had many friends and was and still is loved by kids, had eye contact, respond to his name most of the time, he imitates, he could folow all simple commands, but had only 10 words and used question sentinces, he didn't understand lenguage much and still has trouble speaking, had some repetitive behaviour and some stimms. He never had had flaping, never tip toed, very social, sweet and happy boy. He had and still has limited food prefrences (he ate everything till 18 months), sleeped always good, EEG is normal. He is now 4 years old and is very behind. He is still not verbal. He has more then 50 words and senetences he uses but it is not very good and i wouldn't call it being verbal because he talks in his own language most of the time. Words he uses are 90% of the time functional. He has no echolalia. He is at 2.5 year level cognitivly and with his speach. His motor skills were always good. They were not shure if he had autism but now they say he is for shure on the spectrum, we just have to do a test in a month to find out wich level. So he is not the clasic case because he doesn't have the typical red signs but i had this gut feeling from when his 18 months when he had regression. I just wasn't 100% shure.
Sounds like he is doing great but it wouldn't hurt to maybe look into some speech therapy to help him catch up! You are doing a great job as his mama :)

My grandson did not talk until he was 4 1/2 years old…. One day he looked at me and said Nanny grandma’s got your cup after all the doctor appointments everything I had his child they couldn’t find nothing wrong with him. He just didn’t wanna talk when he did he did.
Can be anywhere on the spectrum. My grandson has ashburgers but graduated from highschool on line with honors. Its social skills for him and texture issues still works on
Wonderful video, very good!! Thanks for sharing your story to help others! My son is 27 and was not diagnosed until age 11, after a horrible bullying incident. Hope this will help others, early detection is needed!
I'm sorry to hear your son was treated that way. It's so hard on kids who are struggling and don't have answers or accommodations. That's so unfair. I hope you are all doing well now. Happy New Year!

It makes me so mad when people that have no idea what ASD is comment “oh that is typical child behavior.” yes, my TWO year old is still a typical toddler and is still autistic! You don’t have to look a certain way to be diagnosed with ASD. That is why it is a spectrum.
THANK YOU!! Some of these comments upset me and make me feel like I am just trying to say she’s “sick” she is not sick she is autistic and she is amazing and just needs love and support. Thankfully I think my video helped people despite a few mean comments ❤️
As a mental health provider for many years, what you have provided is a wonderful service for other parents who are living with a child with autism. The most glaring issue with your naysayers is their belief that not speaking any intelligible words at 2 years of age is somehow normal. It is not.
JonettaWakely hm.. not necessarily true..my coworker’s daughter did not speak until age 4 at all.. grew up to be a borderline genius and speaking 5 languages fluently.
@@marietteestabrook4098 Of course you are correct, but please remember that all kiddos have tantrums too. We just need to be more observant and not rush to look for a diagnosis, just let them be kiddos, that's all. I didn't mean to offend, I hope I didn't.
@ I am a retired nurse of disabled and neurodivergent kiddos and I’m talking about kids that have tantrums or even try to bite when you try to play with them when they are lining up their toys, stacking the blocks or flipping or spinning the wheels. These kids don’t tolerate any interference with their agenda and don’t know how to play or want to . They will be alone in a room full of kids doing their own thing and not interacting. That’s the most severe. There is a range of severity, but anything that resembles what I’ve describes needs to be addressed and needs further examination.
please, if you watch this video. Ignore it. She is just trying to get a few bucks out of YT. The behaviour of this girl is perfectly normal for the average year 2. So rest assure your little one is ok. Also, pls make sure you report this video. It is toxic
MY kiddo my first clue was that when I tried to hug him he'd put his hands on my chest to push me away. He's an aspy---but he's been able to use it because he's very organized. My Mom said I did the same thing to her.
From a preschool teacher of 20+ years, she has basic signs .. flapping and tippy toe, but I’ve seen way more severe than that but at the end of the day, it’s all about early intervention and the faster they get help faster everybody adapts to everything. I hope everything goes well for her.
I am a special-needs mom my son may not have autism, but I have worked in the special-needs community with children and severe autism and up to severe Down syndrome
The hopping and jumping seems like normal happy behavior for a 2 year old child. She is very adorable and appears to be just enjoying life. i don't see why that is a problem or a warning sign, isn't that what 2 year olds do?
@@curtisjones400 it’s not so much the hopping or flapping on its own it’s more the excessiveness and repetition. Also all of these behaviours on their own are fairly mundane but when they become excessive and repetitive and they are combined all together with speech delays and very big communication delays is when you may want to ask about autism :) all toddlers dabble in these things but they don’t do it obsessively and all at the same time. Hope that helps!
My 7 year old flips his hands and my three year old boys do too. They also walk on their tip toes and bounce their heads of the couch too is that a sign ? Also my 1 year old is a girl she does the dance and jump thing u showed
My nephew was diagnosed with ADHD when he was young. He did well in school but was socially awkward. He is a twin. His sister was fine. As he became a late teen my Daughter (who works with autistic children Professionally) told my Brother to get him tested. We all saw the signs. My brother blew her off and said he was tested and they said ADHD. A few years later my Nephew comes to my Brother and Sister-in-law and tells them he is being tested for Autism. At this stage the only people who couldn't see it was them. Now here is the kicker. My whole family are toe walkers including me. He was a toe walker but had a bounce in his step. We just walk on our toes with no bounce. Sort of like high heels. Had I known about this toe walking thing I would have pushed harder for him to be tested. BTW, he now has a formal Autism diagnosis.
Thank you for putting your life out there to try to help others! I am sorry about some of the comments. I think people don't see it because they are only seeing a few seconds of a video and they don't get to see the full picture. You are correct about the behaviors but sometimes its hard to tell. My infant did the hand flapping thing but then did it less and less over time. I think other kids do these behaviors but they're prob not as frequent. I wish the best of you luck to you and your family! God bless you! Ignore the trolls.
@@Hipshair thanks so much for a positive comment!! Apparently hard to find here lol. Ppl do forget this is just surface level info and I’m not a diagnostic professional but have a lot of experience in assessments having been through so many of them for my daughter. We just hope to help her and others.
I have an adult Autistic son born in 1972. We were ignored by a GP and got no support. Only that we insisted on help did we get an appointment with a speech pathologist, who assisted us. It was a painful journey for him and for us. He still struggles through life.
Yes. But when it’s combined with several other signs, very specific signs, then it needs to be diagnosed. You’re not doing anyone any favours by dismissing or ignoring everything in combination.
No as a pediatric Physical Therapist tow walking is not normal some may walk in their toes but it’s not “usually “ does not mean it’s necessarily autism
I don't agree about speech delay. I'm Autistic (Aspergers) diagnosed at age 67 years. Struggled all my life. No problems with speech. My daughter, not officially diagnosed, no speech difficulty. But my younger brother, never diagnosed, but definitely ADHD. He never slept. I dont think there are hard, rigid, rules about things that point as a definite diagnosis.
I’m sorry you and your child are struggling. It’s not easy in the beginning but the more we learn the more positive an outlook we have. I’m glad you’re here!!
Apka baby kaise thik hua, q ki mera baby 22 month ka hai, doctor ne use high risk autisam bola hai mujhe kuch samjh nahi a raha hai use kaise w thik karu, kya aise bache thik ho pate hai
In the early 90s my toddler was doing all of these all the time. When he was 8 he was diagnosed with ADHD. Maybe it was autism or AuDHD and the psychotherapist missed it.
My nephew had a lot of these traits when he was toddler. Now he is a fun loving typical 7 year old boy who will sometimes still display some of these traits but not as often as he did. He is not autistic but he was diagnosed with Apraxia.

Have you tried get her off sugars and more whole food diet? I heard her being offered apple juice early in your video. She doesn’t need fruit juice. Water is best and whole fruit. Try changing her diet and see if that helps.

@ under all circumstances pulling back on sugar and feeding children a solid healthy whole food diet is always beneficial. Same goes for adults. Never underestimate the power of a healthy diet. A so called normal child will see benefits from improving their diets and getting them off the junk. Brain power. I know I feel better and think more clearly when my diet is clean.
This is exactly what I was looking for 1.5 years ago when I started seeing signs in my toddler, later he was diagnosed with Autism. He was doing everything you mentioned in the video. Thank you for sharing your journey, it will help a lot of parents looking for answers! To the parents, if you see signs in your child, don't lose time in denial, push your pediatrician to get your child evaluated, it is important to start the support as early as possible.
There is permanent herbs to improve autism. It’s a medicine you can get from Dr Oyalo RUclips channel, his herbs have made my son improve perfectly in his speech and social skills

My partner is 70 and isn't diagnosed. He does that hand flapping all the time. His social skills are bad, has a hard time accepting new information and won't go to therapy. Early intervention would have changed his life but the resources just weren't there 68 years ago when he was a toddler.
DISCLAIMER: Hey everyone! I made this video and a few others early in our families autism journey so there may be language used that is no longer considered correct. In particular the word "severe". I was just going with what I knew at the time. I am still learning everyday about how to best support my daughter and her peers. Thanks for understanding!
did she ever lock and fold her fingers?
@@dulanjaliliyanage9850my boy is obsessed with his hand and fingers. He’s always doing that and also taps his middle finger and thumb repeatedly x
@@dulanjaliliyanage9850 yes
😢my grandson does every step that spoke of . From the constant bouncing to repetitive motions.
Why can't people comment 😒
I believe you need a new doctor
This is alot of misinformation
Who's your doctor I'd get different opinions!
I have seen all those behaviors in a lot of kids. They turned up fine.
Once the parent becomes obsessed the child increases the behaviour.
@phubblewubbphubblewubb a
All speech delays do not depict autism
I think most of these are typically two year old behaviors. I taught children with autism and their behaviors were so different from these. I guess according to these behaviors we all must have it. Oh, I have two grandchildren with autism and they are absolutely nothing like this.
Zero words at age 2?
Exactly
Ive seen many of these conditions in absolutely normal children.
whats Normal with Kids
Seriously kids always knocking things down. Flapping hand when they got frustrated or excited. Speech delayed ok I can get that. And what kid do t like jumping on couch or bed. Don’t get it. But wow. Thank you for sharing.
@@Siouxsi-Sioux these things are all behaviours so of course you will see them in normal children. The difference is the persistence and the amount of spent doing these activities for children with autism. The behaviours are extremely persistent and they do not grow out of them.
@@Siouxsi-Sioux you're correct but there's not anything in it for the doctor if your child is okay. Remember that the doctors not always right. There's nothing in it for the doctor if you're not sick or if something's not wrong
@@thatdailymamaRN here with a 21 and 18 year old and 3 year old with autism. Another thing was he would not answer to his name, didn’t say momma or daddy until he was almost 3. He repeated many words and phrases. He looked like a “normal kid” to most people who just happened to tippy toe all the time. He was not social with anyone except immediate family. Most people will not see the early signs when they are not with the kid as much as the mom is. I raised two kids previously and am in no ways a let’s diagnose everything type of parent. My kids had to be tuff because I was that type of nurse. It was just a feeling in my gut early on something was off and I kept seeing the delays and odd behaviors. My first two were normal to advanced on mile stones so I tried to be cautiously optimistic that every kid is different, but at his 18 month check up I was asking for an evaluation after ruling out hearing or vision issues. People are going to be judgmental but there are others that will appreciate your content
She looks so normal to me. My son had speech delay and was diagnosed with autism. He is 25 now, he is a mechanical engineer and graduated with honors, but he still has trouble making friends
He just might be introverted and very shy.
Isn't it amazing how quickly we become experts out of love when we're suddenly in an unexpected situation?!!! My daughter, now 21, definitely displayed these behaviors except in speech. I applaud you for accepting the truth and intervening early. My daughter has far surpassed her challenges in acclimating in society and her empathy for others is richer than the majority of others. She attended Julie Billiart school and they prepared her well to live a productive, satisfying independent life. Don't stop fighting for her....and remember to pray for her. ❤

@@kathyplaga5721 I'm happy for your daughter. Many people live normal lives. Elon Musk Albert Einstein Bill Gates Dan aykroyd Jerry Seinfeld are all autistic and did those things.
I have joking said in the past that God had me become a Social worker (Bachelors level) to prepare me for my two children. One is dyslexic and one has ADHD. Both are grown now but boy did I have to fight for them all through their school years !
I was blessed in that I love researching, so did alot of learning and pushing schools to do what was best for each one.
NEVER give up fighting for your daughter!!!!❤
Prayer is powerful 🙏

Just because a child walks on their toes doesn't mean he or she has "Autism". My friend's child walked on her toes for years and graduated in the top 5 percent of her class then went on to college and became a doctor.
My 12 month old has just been referred to child development services as he is showing many signs. Hand flapping, not responding to name, taps all objects, toys and surfaces repeatedly etc. Thanks for your video. It's most appreciated by others who are going through the same thing!

I have a child with autism who has grown into a nice young man. The most important thing we did was eliminate carbs and milk and do a keto diet. No sugar (no juice), no seed oils, no carbs, real food cooked from scratch. We would give him homemade bone broth either beef or chicken instead of juice. He did so much better with animal fat and animal protein in his diet. He came to me after a week and said, "mom, I feel so much better, we should have done this a long time ago."
The Keto diet helps people in so many ways, not just autism.
Sounds like you starved him. I wouldn't recommend an elimination diet for a child without the guidance of a medical professional, it's an unsafe thing to do.
@@rebeccalucysmith9689 reat assured he was eating 3000 calories a day.

I have worked with kids on the spectrum for about 18 years and I agree with all your observations. Another one is avoiding eye contact. Early intervention is the best thing you can do to assist your child in leading their best life
Agreed
@@kerrimaida2569 I totally agree, where I live the waiting list is 4 years or more for speech and language, its disgraceful, my grandson is nonverbal he is 3 years old, cant get anyone to assess him other than pay now, it has went from £800 up to £1,800!!! Professionals know parents want the best for their children they also know waiting list are horrendous, so in desperation we will pay anything to get our autisic children sorted even taking out loans. I myself have worked for many many years with children and adults with autisim, challenging behaviour and mental health issues, its hard work but much harder for the proe living with these issues, the UK government have dragged us down to the pits, they knew 20 years ago things were bad and getting worse but now they wait until we can't see a way out, disgraceful.
I just saw an Australian Dr who did a study on Autism. She did vitamin A infusions and had positive results with her patients! Prayers for you and your daughter
Toe walking is also common in young toddlers if you use a jumper for babies with the springs …where they jump
Toe-walking til 8 yrs old is a little different.
Or club feet
This has helped me so much my daughter is nearly 2 and hand stims, bounces on the couch, opens and closes the same cupboard door, eye rolls, sometimes walks on tippy toes and when really upset will go away into a corner and want to be left alone and forces her head back sometimes. I don't know if she is autistic but I believe she could be so I thank you for this

Wow I would have just looked at her as a typical 2 yr old. My daughter didn't speak until she was three. She doesn't have autism and teaches English now.
Hi. May I please ask? Your child spoke perfectly in that 3 years or that's when she started learning? I'm worried mine is turning 3 in two months but she only know some words but cannot construct a sentence. I'm scared to get her examined
@@mmathapeloangel7992 Why are you scared? I got my child examined so that she could receive help. My daughter would say words here and there at the age of three but wouldn't didn't speak in sentences until she was 4 . She's 24 now. Once she started talking ,she perfected the English language. Throughout school she was play writing..lol. I hate when she corrects my grammar. lol..Please get your child examined because if it is autism you can start intervention.

I had a speech delay and didn't eat mainly because I had tonsillitis and constant ear infections. Once the tubes in my ears were put in and tonsils were taken out, that took care of the speech delays and eating problems. I went to speech class, but also once you are around kids a lot like in preschool or a day care, that helps out a lot as well. At least now you can get to your kids early with therapy thanks to videos like this and getting to see the doctor to set up a plan if they are diagnosed as autistic.
That is way too early for a diagnosis, from Denmark here.
Best of luck to you! Our daughter is on the spectrum. She’s 42 now. We didn’t have the resources that are available today.
I believe that so long as the child talks and communicates emotions, all these other signs are benign
@@listenup1166 you're probably right most of the time but there are exceptions
@@listenup1166 a lot of autistic kids live very normal lives like Elon Musk and Albert Einstein and Bill Gates Dan aykroyd Jerry Seinfeld many other people are autistic and live very good lives
@@listenup1166 most of them are benign. Remember if there's nothing wrong with your child there's nothing in it for the doctor.
The diagnosis is autism. Whether you consider that as being benign or not doesn't change the fact that it is what it is.
@@listenup1166 I think you're right people tend to overreact and get paranoid about things. The more they hear about something the more they think it. Training imagination to respond to imaginary circumstances.
Thank you for putting this video out. My son has been diagnosed with Autism and he used to rock himself alot, needed a speech pathologist and does engage in repetitive activities.
The Regional Center can provide different kinds of help for these children with developmental disabilities.
@@dik825 regional Center for US citizens for sure!!
Is this for real? She seems like a normal, healthy fun kid. If this were autism, every kid would have autism
It's just great patents are caring about figuring it out. As a teacher I would have many teens whose patents would never admit their kid was "off". Holding them to same expectations wasn't helping the ternura
The teen was missing out on ab I e p
As someone who was not diagnosed until almost 60. I too seemed “fine”. But my life was an exhausting and overwhelming struggle. I had a career, spouse, children etc. All the “normal” things. Had I been diagnosed earlier it would have helped me understand what was going on in my brain and body. I would have had more grace for myself and for others. I would have had more support in areas that I needed it in. My health care would have been completely different and more accurate. This mother is being responsible when seeing and recognizing a cluster of symptoms that warrant investigation. We’ve come a long way since the 1940s, especially in diagnosing girls /women who can present very differently in autism. There are literally 1000s of people walking around undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or misunderstood because of this neurological condition that people are born with.
Strikes me, parents today just love to put a label on their children. Let children develop at their own pace.
Daughter came to me at 16 said thought she was autistic, answered so many of our concerns over the yrs that had been dismissed. Now diagnosed and still struggles with life in general even simple tasks, she says it's like she feels everything and it hurts inside. Mild or not getting help early on is a must as it helps them understand and set up strategies for life
There are different levels of autism on the spectrum. This mother and the doctors working with her family are correct in this diagnosis.
Thank you for such a clear, concise broadcast. Leah is lucky to have such a good Mother. No self pity.
Thank you for sharing this information. Every parent should be made aware of the early signs of autism.

My great grandson is three. He is Autistic. I saw the signs,but I kept them to myself. When he never said a word, they got him tested. Great video, and please , show the other signs, to help other families to find out early, and get the proper help needed . I love my great grandson, how is a loving, happy boy. Very smart too. I’m going to learn sign language, so we can communicate better.
I think the biggest indicator her is being nonverbal in inaudible babbling at 2. Also, be aware of their lack of eye contact, social interactions and spinning, twirling, and excessive flipping of objects. Some of the other indicators, bouncing, tippy toes, flapping when they want something or anticipate something are normal expressive movements. Do observe your child for limited excessive and repetitive behaviors. As always, when I’m doubt and concerned, please consult your pediatrician. I applaud all of you mothers and caregivers for early intervention👏🏾👏🏾

How can I get the herbs for my son
I agree its not necesarily the individual things that can say whether a child has autism or not its a collectivism so many different traits that could quite possibly go hand in hand that would eventually help diagnose any problem pertaining to an autism diagnosis
Comments from people stating
" mine does that ..and doesn't have it"
Are not obviously understanding what you are wonderfully describing To help people if they generally feel theres a problem with their childs development .
Not for those who don't see any issues or delays with their childs development.
A lovely daughter you have there ! I bet she gives you so much joy! 😘
Oh and much older now of course as I'm such a late contributer to your comment section .
Take care and
Much love 😘
Thanks for your comment! And you nailed it! It’s not just the actions alone it’s the persistence and longevity of the behaviours!

Great observation of your child's development. Your are right on point! Continue to share and bring awareness... Many Blessings! 🤗🙏🙌💞
Our Grand son is exhibiting all the traits and he is being given treatment with pediatric neurologist and speech therapy is also being given to him. Very slow progress indeed.
It absolutely can feel like an uphill battle. Patience is key because autism is primarily a developmental disability so it will usually take much longer to hit milestones in these younger years. Hang in there you are already doing a great job having him in speech therapy and supporting him ❤️

@@amandafernandajuliaI am interested to know the herbs that you refer to
I have 2 things to say one a mother knows when something is wrong so stop telling her this is a normal behavior in toddler cause it's got nothing to do with your opinion your probably one of those parents that sees it and denies it because you treat it like a disease and 2 if you don't fight to get that diagnoses early you might never get it because they try not to put labels on kids which I get but it wasn't till I got my son diagnosed did he get the help he needed in school. So instead of saying oh this is normal behavior from a 5 10 min video you don't see the toddler every day and neither do I. Keep taking care of that sweet little angel your doing great and don't mind other people's comments.

Everyone has a right to speak their truth.

I'm studying autism level 2. I'm enjoying the course and learning so much
Hi my son 3 and half now. Only speaks few words around 30. He understands everything but hard to learn new words. I have doctors appointments I hope he will be okay.
If delayed speech is his only symptom, and I mean only symptom, I don’t think autism is his problem. A little speech therapy maybe all he will need. My grandson was like this and he is doing fabulous now. I’m a retired nurse of working with disabled and neurodivergent kids and a little speech delay is easy t overcome.
@ thanks actually he is doing good now
Very interesting, I have a great grand child, sweet little boy doesn’t talk . His only communication is either growling or grunting and that’s all he does just noticed it and have been noticing it and he is two years old and maybe three months so I don’t know a lot about autism so your channel really was very interesting and I would like to see more because I’m concerned, but I really am afraid to say much because I’m not any kind of a specialist at all. Thank you for sharing what you did with me.😊
Nonsense. My 3 kids are in their late 30s and they did all of these things. They are quite normal.
Stimming and toe walking are both behaviours that are linked to autism x other kids could have these traits too x but when there are 4 or 5 other traits added to this , this diagnosis is correct not nonsense
I agree.it is nonsense... Both my kids did all of these things and neither one started speaking till age 3.. even with speech and occupational therapy..there your average teenagers
This is dependent on the culture.when it comes to western cultures their kids have to behave very deceplin.when the kid is no deceplnie they thought kid is having autism.
When this comes to other countries like Asian the kids are soo natural and they have the freedom to to do.
Yes this video will have new moms sick with worry for no reason
I understand where your coming from, i also have friends with an autistic son, in the beginning they were in denial, when relatives tried to say something was wrong they didnt want to agree , which is understanable, no one wants their child to have a disability or illness like this , but in time they knew what they had to do, and yes he did have autism it was diagnosed and then they got the help needed , he has since grown up and working fulltime, and doing just fine. So chin up you are a gd person and clearly you care , just give it some time and try not to stress to much, they will eventually see and know what they must do .
My partner is 70. He isn't diagnosed. He does that hand flapping ALL THE TIME. His social skills are bad, has meltdowns and doesn't think therapy could help. Early intervention is helpful but the resources just weren't there when he was a toddler.
I would add extreme shyness and dislike to strangers or even family members at an early age 4 months ish and does not smile when smiled at also early on...3 months ish. Do not fret.. there are a lot of videos and special teachers to help your child adjust to life. Also nutrition.
Thankyou for your video and was so helpful and a insight what My 2 yr old daughter Lilly is showing every sign you showed in this video of what Leah is doing. 5:54 My family has been seeing these signs and we have a up coming assessment to get answers and a possible diagnosis.
Watching what your daughter does every step you show is like watching my daughter. I work in disability support work and I just know in my gut she has autism, even friends and family of mine with children with autism say they see it in my daughter.
Will be following your family now and I find you very helpful in the information that just might help my daughter Lilly and our family 🥰

My son at 2 years old had finger pointing, pretend play, had many friends and was and still is loved by kids, had eye contact, respond to his name most of the time, he imitates, he could folow all simple commands, but had only 10 words and used question sentinces, he didn't understand lenguage much and still has trouble speaking, had some repetitive behaviour and some stimms. He never had had flaping, never tip toed, very social, sweet and happy boy. He had and still has limited food prefrences (he ate everything till 18 months), sleeped always good, EEG is normal. He is now 4 years old and is very behind. He is still not verbal. He has more then 50 words and senetences he uses but it is not very good and i wouldn't call it being verbal because he talks in his own language most of the time. Words he uses are 90% of the time functional. He has no echolalia. He is at 2.5 year level cognitivly and with his speach. His motor skills were always good. They were not shure if he had autism but now they say he is for shure on the spectrum, we just have to do a test in a month to find out wich level. So he is not the clasic case because he doesn't have the typical red signs but i had this gut feeling from when his 18 months when he had regression. I just wasn't 100% shure.
Sounds like he is doing great but it wouldn't hurt to maybe look into some speech therapy to help him catch up! You are doing a great job as his mama :)

Thank you for sharing this. We love you Leah❤️
Thank you so much V!!! Leah really is the coolest!
My grandson did not talk until he was 4 1/2 years old…. One day he looked at me and said Nanny grandma’s got your cup after all the doctor appointments everything I had his child they couldn’t find nothing wrong with him. He just didn’t wanna talk when he did he did.
Can be anywhere on the spectrum. My grandson has ashburgers but graduated from highschool on line with honors. Its social skills for him and texture issues still works on
Asperger’s.
Wonderful video, very good!! Thanks for sharing your story to help others!
My son is 27 and was not diagnosed until age 11, after a horrible bullying incident.
Hope this will help others, early detection is needed!
I'm sorry to hear your son was treated that way. It's so hard on kids who are struggling and don't have answers or accommodations. That's so unfair. I hope you are all doing well now. Happy New Year!

It makes me so mad when people that have no idea what ASD is comment “oh that is typical child behavior.” yes, my TWO year old is still a typical toddler and is still autistic! You don’t have to look a certain way to be diagnosed with ASD. That is why it is a spectrum.
THANK YOU!! Some of these comments upset me and make me feel like I am just trying to say she’s “sick” she is not sick she is autistic and she is amazing and just needs love and support. Thankfully I think my video helped people despite a few mean comments ❤️
As a mental health provider for many years, what you have provided is a wonderful service for other parents who are living with a child with autism. The most glaring issue with your naysayers is their belief that not speaking any intelligible words at 2 years of age is somehow normal. It is not.
JonettaWakely hm.. not necessarily true..my coworker’s daughter did not speak until age 4 at all.. grew up to be a borderline genius and speaking 5 languages fluently.
@ You have several cognitive distortions. The most relevant is that of overgeneralization. There are exceptions to any “rule.”
There are people in this comment section trying to convince me that a child not speaking until 4 or 5 years old is normal.
My son only started talking at 4 years old and today is a senior IT manager
Our son displays all of these things and more. We are currently on a loooong waiting list. Thank you for your video x
Please realize that a lot of these examples are just kids being kids!
@@JeepersCrikey-p4pi was wondering
@@JeepersCrikey-p4pIt depends on the frequency and intensity and if they have a tantrum when you interrupt their behavior.
@@marietteestabrook4098 Of course you are correct, but please remember that all kiddos have tantrums too. We just need to be more observant and not rush to look for a diagnosis, just let them be kiddos, that's all. I didn't mean to offend, I hope I didn't.
@ I am a retired nurse of disabled and neurodivergent kiddos and I’m talking about kids that have tantrums or even try to bite when you try to play with them when they are lining up their toys, stacking the blocks or flipping or spinning the wheels. These kids don’t tolerate any interference with their agenda and don’t know how to play or want to . They will be alone in a room full of kids doing their own thing and not interacting. That’s the most severe. There is a range of severity, but anything that resembles what I’ve describes needs to be addressed and needs further examination.
please, if you watch this video. Ignore it. She is just trying to get a few bucks out of YT. The behaviour of this girl is perfectly normal for the average year 2. So rest assure your little one is ok. Also, pls make sure you report this video. It is toxic
Thank you for sharing all this!! I found this all so helpful ♥️
So glad to hear that 🥰 I hope it helps someone figure things out :)
MY kiddo my first clue was that when I tried to hug him he'd put his hands on my chest to push me away. He's an aspy---but he's been able to use it because he's very organized. My Mom said I did the same thing to her.
Great video! And your daughter is adorable!!!!
From a preschool teacher of 20+ years, she has basic signs .. flapping and tippy toe, but I’ve seen way more severe than that but at the end of the day, it’s all about early intervention and the faster they get help faster everybody adapts to everything. I hope everything goes well for her.
I am a special-needs mom my son may not have autism, but I have worked in the special-needs community with children and severe autism and up to severe Down syndrome
She’s adorable and lucky to have such a beautiful family.
Thank you so much!
The hopping and jumping seems like normal happy behavior for a 2 year old child. She is very adorable and appears to be just enjoying life. i don't see why that is a problem or a warning sign, isn't that what 2 year olds do?
@@curtisjones400 it’s not so much the hopping or flapping on its own it’s more the excessiveness and repetition. Also all of these behaviours on their own are fairly mundane but when they become excessive and repetitive and they are combined all together with speech delays and very big communication delays is when you may want to ask about autism :) all toddlers dabble in these things but they don’t do it obsessively and all at the same time. Hope that helps!
@@thatdailymama Thank you
My 7 year old flips his hands and my three year old boys do too. They also walk on their tip toes and bounce their heads of the couch too is that a sign ? Also my 1 year old is a girl she does the dance and jump thing u showed
All this sound like normal kids stuff. I think we’re expecting way too much from these babies.
It's important to be diagnosed and not assume there isn't a problem.
Is it not called “stimming” when they continually move their hands in a rapid manner?
@@TheBeka5 yes!
My nephew was diagnosed with ADHD when he was young. He did well in school but was socially awkward. He is a twin. His sister was fine. As he became a late teen my Daughter (who works with autistic children Professionally) told my Brother to get him tested. We all saw the signs. My brother blew her off and said he was tested and they said ADHD. A few years later my Nephew comes to my Brother and Sister-in-law and tells them he is being tested for Autism. At this stage the only people who couldn't see it was them. Now here is the kicker. My whole family are toe walkers including me. He was a toe walker but had a bounce in his step. We just walk on our toes with no bounce. Sort of like high heels. Had I known about this toe walking thing I would have pushed harder for him to be tested. BTW, he now has a formal Autism diagnosis.
Thank you for putting your life out there to try to help others! I am sorry about some of the comments. I think people don't see it because they are only seeing a few seconds of a video and they don't get to see the full picture. You are correct about the behaviors but sometimes its hard to tell. My infant did the hand flapping thing but then did it less and less over time. I think other kids do these behaviors but they're prob not as frequent. I wish the best of you luck to you and your family! God bless you! Ignore the trolls.
@@Hipshair thanks so much for a positive comment!! Apparently hard to find here lol. Ppl do forget this is just surface level info and I’m not a diagnostic professional but have a lot of experience in assessments having been through so many of them for my daughter. We just hope to help her and others.
I have an adult Autistic son born in 1972. We were ignored by a GP and got no support. Only that we insisted on help did we get an appointment with a speech pathologist, who assisted us. It was a painful journey for him and for us. He still struggles through life.
Leah is beautiful and so are you for being proactive. God's blessings for being an exceptional family.😍💕💝💙
My Leah’s so precious!! Hope this videos helpful!
i am obsessed with her :)
My daughter walked on her toes until she was almost 6 and my friend's son didnt start talking until he was 5. Neither of them have autism
So true many kids of these issues and DO NOT have anything
Please what's if the child only sits in one place and how can do, like which type of exercise can help please
All are so very normal. Kiddos usually walk on toes.
Yes. But when it’s combined with several other signs, very specific signs, then it needs to be diagnosed. You’re not doing anyone any favours by dismissing or ignoring everything in combination.
No as a pediatric Physical Therapist tow walking is not normal some may walk in their toes but it’s not “usually “ does not mean it’s necessarily autism
None of this is normal at all.
I did. Always wondered if I just wanted to be taller....
Please help me my son is 4 years now he can not talk plz what should i do
@@JosephMensah-s8p please reach out to a doctor or psychologist in your area
Autism cannot be diagnosed until children are at least 5 years old. Please don’t label kids too early.
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
I have seen all this in many children and none are autistic!!
I don't agree about speech delay. I'm Autistic (Aspergers) diagnosed at age 67 years. Struggled all my life. No problems with speech. My daughter, not officially diagnosed, no speech difficulty. But my younger brother, never diagnosed, but definitely ADHD. He never slept. I dont think there are hard, rigid, rules about things that point as a definite diagnosis.
Yes, symptoms vary and it is a different situation for each person. Also, keep in mind it is a spectrum
There actually are hard written rules for diagnosis and they can be found in the diagnostic manual called the DSM5
Oh man I guess I have been in denial 😔 thanks for your help I’ve subbed now & looking forward to more vid’s.
I’m sorry you and your child are struggling. It’s not easy in the beginning but the more we learn the more positive an outlook we have. I’m glad you’re here!!
You can also look into changing the child’s diet
Apka baby kaise thik hua, q ki mera baby 22 month ka hai, doctor ne use high risk autisam bola hai mujhe kuch samjh nahi a raha hai use kaise w thik karu, kya aise bache thik ho pate hai
The hand flapping is the first sign I noticed in my oldest son
That was for sure one of our first things to. She still does it a lot
from which month u notice your son hand flapping?
In the early 90s my toddler was doing all of these all the time. When he was 8 he was diagnosed with ADHD. Maybe it was autism or AuDHD and the psychotherapist missed it.
Thank you for a very informative class on autism. You are a good teacher!
I have 28 months baby boy and haven't talking yet ,am stressful really .can you help me .
Try and talk to your doctor to get help;)
My nephew had a lot of these traits when he was toddler. Now he is a fun loving typical 7 year old boy who will sometimes still display some of these traits but not as often as he did. He is not autistic but he was diagnosed with Apraxia.
I'm happy to hear he is doing so well :) Leah will be assessed for Apraxia in the coming months.
@@thatdailymama Sending love, prayers & positive thoughts to Leah & your family, love💜
My son has the same jumping on the couch, but he is not autistic. He is 21 months old.

My daughter tipped toe and now she’s a school teacher now
Ok?
Have you tried get her off sugars and more whole food diet? I heard her being offered apple juice early in your video. She doesn’t need fruit juice. Water is best and whole fruit. Try changing her diet and see if that helps.
no due to her sensitivities changing diet quickly can be very stressful for everyone

Unless there is an actual deficiency, diet doesn’t actually have much effect on autistic behaviors.
@ under all circumstances pulling back on sugar and feeding children a solid healthy whole food diet is always beneficial. Same goes for adults. Never underestimate the power of a healthy diet. A so called normal child will see benefits from improving their diets and getting them off the junk. Brain power. I know I feel better and think more clearly when my diet is clean.
@ While beneficial, don’t expect it to eliminate symptoms of Autism. There are at least 23 genes causing Autism, so diet will not make it go away.
Does rocking back and forth on seat count as one thanks
This is exactly what I was looking for 1.5 years ago when I started seeing signs in my toddler, later he was diagnosed with Autism. He was doing everything you mentioned in the video. Thank you for sharing your journey, it will help a lot of parents looking for answers! To the parents, if you see signs in your child, don't lose time in denial, push your pediatrician to get your child evaluated, it is important to start the support as early as possible.
This comment really means a lot to me. All I can hope for is to provide support and community to parents and hopefully have fun doing it

My partner is 70 and isn't diagnosed. He does that hand flapping all the time. His social skills are bad, has a hard time accepting new information and won't go to therapy. Early intervention would have changed his life but the resources just weren't there 68 years ago when he was a toddler.
Is your child verbal
