We are so happy we found your channel, thank you for being around. We are raising our grandchild who is currently on a longgggg wait list just to see if he has Autism (although we would be very surprised if he does not). Just watching your videos helps us feel we are doing all we can while we wait.
I think the most annoying thing is when people (including our closer ones) that keep commenting (judging) about our parenting styles as if we are not trying enough to educate our children when we already do and try everything to improve their communication skills. I found being silence is the solution when facing those kind judgmental people because nothing is gonna satisfy them. They rarely understand and accept our situation.
Yes. So annoying when folks blame a speech delay on poor parenting. I took all of the speech therapist's advice and read a million books a day with my kid, and my kid simply talked at her own rate - much later than average. I very much agree with all of these points. The point about accommodations and some amount of catering to their needs is key, and it sucks that people are judgy about that. When my child first started talking all she could say was "more." I once cooked her 4 eggs to eat - one after the other - because she kept saying "more." I was just so happy she was talking and wanted to do everything to encourage her to continue communication. Limit-setting can come later. The priority is to encourage communication and interaction and to bond with them however you can. People should really mind their own business.
😂 in the US for some medical appointments as we speak! We have had an excellent team here, but 100% agree with your sentiments. What is therapy/ intervention without carry over or as we say a home program... nada! Look forward to your videos every week! Thank you so much. Happiness is the most effective, its also the hardest for me when things get stressful. Through happiness and play ... joining their world, the memories created if made with purpose are the best learning opportunities! See you next week 😉
Thank you so much for these videos. This has helped me tremendously on my journey with my son. He is only a month apart in age from Dexter and this has really helped me get some more perspective. Thank you for having so much strength and for articulating yourself in such a way that is so incredibly helpful to other parents!! Please post as many of these videos as you can!
Liked your last points...create your own rule book because each childs development is unique...so long as you are making meaningful connections ...and smiles...everything goes!! I appreciate how we need to accommodate thier neurodiverse needs and not expect them to take on nuerotypical expectations. So glad we have platforms like this to share...thanks for this video and all the responses😃
Wow, thank you! We've been raising our grandson for 2 yrs. There were very unusual things that stood out, but I had attributed it to the trauma he had faced basically from birth until he moved in with us. Because I was aware of what he had been thru, I had this automatic sense of tuning in & thinking of ways to being part of his enjoyment while not invading it (I initially interpreted his behavior as an attachment issue, uncomfortable with bonding or trust) I'd use sharpies on his plastic eggs that I'd spin on the floor (over and over 😀) to make various patterns when they spun....just lots of little things like that. As time went by, his behavior was reflecting something different going on. I've gotta be honest in saying I somewhat put the idea of ASD aside at first, but as he got older, I began running into issues that I was not equipped to know how to approach. I've been watching your videos and they are exactly what I needed at the most perfect time! While I somehow managed to unknowingly be a positive presence in his life with his needs, there was/is so much understanding to be had. You've brought my understanding leaps and bounds. Thank you!
This was awesome❤ My daughter is 19 months old and she's autistic so I understand completely. Too right you are about the physical activities. We took her to the park and she LOVES the swings and the slide. For vacation this year, we're taking her to the beach and to a petting zoo. We do so many art and craft projects, but you're right... physical activities are a release for EVERYONE!❤❤❤
Hello, my daughter is 17 months old and we don't know when will we get appointment. Can u help me to know signs? She doesnot respond to her name eye contact is good especially with songs . Doesnot wave or point but from last 3 weeks I point to lamp and birds and we i ask her where is lamp once in 10 times she points.she follow instructions like when i say don't do it she stops . She raise her arms to get hold. Yesterday I played with her with coushins she brought after sometime that coushin to play with me. She use to throw paper in basket as I teached her only once and now when I points throw it to basket she will open door throw it in basket and close door again. I'm very very worried. Plz help me to know the signs. Thankyou
These are all great points. I do really like therapy a lot and find it to be helpful in that it gives me a lot of new ideas and techniques to use. I LOVE my child so much, and I'm good at showing her that, but I've come to realize that parenting a child (especially a neuro-divergent one) doesn't exactly come naturally or intuitively to me. I try to pick up what I can from those who are either naturally-gifted or well-trained (or both) in working with kids. I have found therapists to be especially good at engaging my child. That said, I think some parents expect that an hour or so of weekly therapy will fix all of their kid's issues and challenges vs focusing on the other 167 hours per week of parenting. Clearly the 167 hours of parenting will make more of an impact than the one hour of therapy.
Really so informative as always. Just putting a question here .. I feel my son likes ipad apps the most and learns from it very fast. Can anyone suggest some good apps that can help me practice him on verbal communication skills. Thanks.
I live in US.. and I totally agree with you on the importance of therapy. I think it’s a very very slow process and doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. Jayden is starting to communicate with me and he can pretty much label everything. I honestly think he learns a lot from TV rather than the therapy. And I totally get you when you say that you tend to your son immediately!! We do the same.. I get so happy when my son asks for something with eye contact I don’t ask him to wait!! I want him to realize we truly appreciate communication!! Good luck mama.. he is such a sweet boy!!! 🥰
Hi! Honestly my son learns so much well both my kids rather from You tube those little educational stuff! I used to feel guilty but everything in moderation and follow through/carry over with those programs at home, sing with them, take them to the actual farm.... everything in moderation and its about knowing what works best for your child 🙂
we got our 3yo son tested fpr autism because of his speech delay . the result was "they are not sure if he is or isnt" . we also def go with his play and link us in. he gets what he wants. however, right now he is very good in saying what he wants or not so I let him wait out a bit e.g when hes asking for an m&m but i am diapering his brother then I first finish that instead of running directly in the kitchen like i used to. we (try to) expose our son to a lot of things places from beach to playground to museum and lots of people. when we see hes overwhelmed we take a step back and try another time again. in that age it is sometimes difficult to tell is he upset because of his autism or is he upsetbecause he is 3yo . providing ur son a save home base but also challenging him in a loving way and leaving TOGETHER the comfort zone for a little while in order to discover new things helps our progress
Son just was pre-diagnosed at 18 months failed their checklist, I'm not letting them fully diagnose him until he's 2 when they have to. All he wants to do all day every day is spin wheels on litterally anything. He is my only child and it didn't seem like anything was wrong other than he hates being held since 6 months, it really breaks my heart, he won't look at me, only out of the very corner of his eye with his head turned, wont point or respond to pointing, will only say "car". It's pretty obvious he is autistic but I feel very very depressed, I don't love him any less, I just feel like he doesn't love me. I want to take him in for early therapy but at the same time I don't want an official diagnosis that will affect him the rest of his life, I feel like I should just wait to see if he gets better, I'm trying so hard. I had my best friend tell me he is the way he is because I don't teach him anything, and that's bullshit I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. My heart is just sad, I really don't know what I should do.
Hey! Please look at the video I posted . I only have 1 lol. My son was diagnosed at 18 months. I think it was the best decision ever. He has been getting early intervention for a year now and made lots of progress. It is extremely depressing but your son WILL get better . Please feel free to message me any time . 💙
Dont be discouraged he just dont know how to show u love it doesnt mean he dont love u be a advicate for your child his growth depends on it early intervention is very much needed, i too and here if u need to just to let off steam.i have a 5 year old grandson that is on the spectrum.
So very thankful for the progress your sweet boy has made, but I will say, I was a little disappointed at the jab you made about America using therapies as a “huge money maker.” As an American SLP, I am so thankful I am given the opportunity to help children, just like your son, communicate to the best of their abilities. I value what I do. I’d like to think the work that I do is more focused on helping children and not on bringing money in.
Nooooo.... I'm really sorry i didn't mean it as a dig at the actual therapists themselves. Especially speech therapists who are incredibly important to autistic little ones. I was more referring to the insurance company side of things. Thank you for all the work you do to help children like mine x
My little boy is 3 in October and he doesn’t talk yet, he has been diagnosed with a speech delay, had my second little boy 10 weeks ago and since then my older son has changed dramatically because he’s not getting as much attention he went from only saying “ta” when we gave him something to counting from 1-10 and saying the alphabet the letters are not very clear but he’s saying them, he just started pre school and he’s settled very well, before the baby was born I did everything for my little boy he had no need to talk or ask for anything because I anticipated everything. I don’t think my little boy has autism but I just feel so worried and scared for his future if he’s not talking he has speech therapy once a week xx
I just want some tools to be able to help me handle my child. I'm OK with therapy if it works and the advice they give if it works. But my thing is I'm sitting here waiting on a waiting list and I don't have any way of being able to help him now. I want more help understanding the temper tantrums and melt downs and what to do about those, more than I am worried about how to "deal" with my autistic child. I live in the U.S. also and I find this waiting thing ridiculous. They gave me a ton of pamphlets and a huge list of "resources". It's almost like, sorry we can't help you, this is the information we have, figured it out for yourself. And your child needs this therapy and your child needs that therapy and oh by the way you have to wait 3 to 6 months. It's really frustrating because I feel like we've come so far to hit a brick wall and have to sit there and wait. It's like that hurry up and wait game, hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait. But I feel like I've been waiting for 3 years. He'll be 4 in November. But I yet also understand that there are thousands of people that get diagnosed with this every year and there are worse kids then my son is. That still doesn't change the fact that they need to change the way they do this system either, or they need a lot more people in this field to help people sooner.
I am so sorry you're having to deal with this. Waiting lists for therapy are HUGE in the UK too, over a year in some cases. When we DO get therapy (usually only speech and/or OT) we get a few sessions only then another huge gap until the next session. The thing is, therapy wasn't this massive breakthrough for us and the techniques they taught us we were mostly already doing. BUT it is definitely reassuring to hear a professional say you're on the right track. Could you ask some therapists in your area to recommend some books while you wait for your appointment? Our speech therapist lent us a really good one that was basically a step by step guide to everything she was doing anyway :)
@@NurturingNeurodiversity I will definitely give that a try. Thank you for all of your advice. You and your family give me so much joy to watch. I can see a lot of my little boy in Dexter, but I'm not sure if my little guy can read though. When you told us that on that video I was so happy for you guys that I started to cry. I also love how you said you like unlocking all of these wonderful things that he can do. Thank you for letting us go along with you guys on your journey.🤗
@@cheleholsted I'm sure you're a great Mom too and your child is very lucky to have you to parent them! These children blossom with people who care like you! 🌸💛

Have you heard of cbd oil for autism? I've been watching a lot of videos of before and after. I don't want to say the word "cure" but the after is a big difference from the before
@Hello Hello yes, but that is the case every where in the sense the therapist are being paid by someone, somehow. I think its wonderful that we are given speech, OT, etc at no cost to the parents. Just wanted other parents who might be new to this process in America to see this and be stressed about being able to afford the therapies their child might need!
Hi Faye .. it will be great if you can make a video on the therapies that we should put our children to.. it's so much of confusion.. some say go for ABA, other say go for SonRise .. aaah .. not sure which one really works !!
My son is very much own agenda, nonverbal. He is 3 and a half. He pushes or moves away when we try to interact. Can you talk about getting into their world more? My son will not look at anything I show him. So visual cards are too far ahead.
Hi not sure if this helps much but my son is 20 months we're currently in the diagnosis stage . The way I get into my sons world and interact with him is by kind of mirroring what he does so for example he loves flapping his arms so if I start flapping so does he & this makes him excited, if I stop he will raise my hands in the air to do it again, feels like we are playing a game. Also my son loves to spin objects so if I show him something that spins or I start spinning immediately he is interested in me & what I'm doing. Watching my son play and studying the things that interest him has really helped me interact with him and get into his world. Xx
@@sianwilliams7249 thanks for the advice Sian. Very interesting. I will try my best to mirror what he does. I need to focus on what he does that I could copy. Good luck with your diagnosis.
Responsible, determined to cope with problems, trying to consolidate what you have conceptualized by sharing them to a community, hanging onto a passion of hoping to provide the best for your children, believing that your children can succeed and achieve greatly even though they were "verbally falisified" by social prominent individuals with a theme of high-positioned academic investigation of human psychology, which this also later on falisified your confident in comprehending other individuals' emotive needs and your provisioning methods. You know what, if I am going to pick a girlfriend in the future, I'll pick a girl similar to you. If I could pick my own mother, I would also pick one like to you.
He makes speech sounds and mimics 1 to 2 syllables sometimes but he's virtually completely nonverbal at the moment. I did a video on his communication at 3.5. That will probably give you a clearer idea :)
I love the positivity that you radiate!! Excellent video!

I found being silence is the solution when facing those kind judgmental people because nothing is gonna satisfy them. They rarely understand and accept our situation.
Yes you're right
We are getting annoyed hearing from people that the reason our grandson is non verbal is we do too much for him so he is being lazy (by not talking)
i have a supportive sister with a child on the wait list for diagnosis..hes 2.. my son is 5 and is doing amazzing with just me and a bit of therapy
True

Hi my toddler is speech delay aswell we tried GEMIINI and it worked for him he’s labelling everything and trying to talk in sentences
Brilliant! So helpful thanx🙂

The way I get into my sons world and interact with him is by kind of mirroring what he does so for example he loves flapping his arms so if I start flapping so does he & this makes him excited, if I stop he will raise my hands in the air to do it again, feels like we are playing a game. Also my son loves to spin objects so if I show him something that spins or I start spinning immediately he is interested in me & what I'm doing. Watching my son play and studying the things that interest him has really helped me interact with him and get into his world. Xx
@@sianwilliams7249 thanks for the advice Sian. Very interesting. I will try my best to mirror what he does. I need to focus on what he does that I could copy.
Good luck with your diagnosis.
Responsible, determined to cope with problems, trying to consolidate what you have conceptualized by sharing them to a community, hanging onto a passion of hoping to provide the best for your children, believing that your children can succeed and achieve greatly even though they were "verbally falisified" by social prominent individuals with a theme of high-positioned academic investigation of human psychology, which this also later on falisified your confident in comprehending other individuals' emotive needs and your provisioning methods. You know what, if I am going to pick a girlfriend in the future, I'll pick a girl similar to you. If I could pick my own mother, I would also pick one like to you.
21/2 my toddler will only take a bottle .. he's being screened for autism
Does your son say anything or he is compelety non vernal the reason i am asking is that my son is also non verbal and he is 3
He makes speech sounds and mimics 1 to 2 syllables sometimes but he's virtually completely nonverbal at the moment. I did a video on his communication at 3.5. That will probably give you a clearer idea :)
