EARLY Autism Signs In Our Baby Girl
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Our baby girl Penelope who is 17 months old has been diagnosed with level 3 autism (or severe autism). The early signs of autism in babies or toddlers aren't always easy to tell but if you are concerned or unsure about your child, please contact their physician. 1 year old is not too early to be diagnosed, early intervention is key 🔑

I don’t even have any kids but yet here I am watching every single video you create no matter the content. Love your channel keep it up and stay strong!
Thank you!
Me too 😂💕💕
same here! as a child I went through alot of speech, PT, and OT.(not autism, physical disability). I somehow, someway, I connect watching your videos! You also helped me understand what my parents might have gone through with me. Thank You!
So glad I got the best treatment for my autistic son who is only 4 years old I've been using Dr Oyalo Alternative Herbal Healing and it has been really helpful,💯 his speech has improved completely and he can now respond to name when called and can also say what he want. This is a great Joy 🤩
Thank you 🙏 Dr Oyalo

I'm sorry to hear the pain in your voice talking about the social things she did and doesn't longer do. I hope that time softens that feeling, and I'm sure that you will remember that time as the precious thing it was, but enjoying the new form of your relationship.
I am sure it will. 1-2 years from now I will probably forget and she will be doing her own thing but I would be lying if I said it wasn't painful still.
I was diagnosed with Autism, Asperger, PDDNOS and ADD. For a while my parents thought i was deaf, as i would never respond to them or anything in my environment, i wouldn’t make sounds (except for crying or screaming). Funny thing is i am now in college majoring in communication (directed on social media.)
Great job you!!!
Wow!!! Congrats !!!
Good job blink ❤️
❤❤
I'm only 20 and don't have kids but i enjoy learning about autism on your channel, i think everyone should know and be educated on it for if they end up having kids that happen to be on the spectrum, lotta love from Ireland x
i agree!! also i’m a teacher so knowing what to expect when a child enrolled in your class has autism is very important

My niece is autistic she used to be non-verbal and now she chats up a storm
Same with my daughter lol she six now but she didn't start talking till she was 3
My daughter too! She started talking at 4yrs old. Now she’s always talking my head off lol
That's awesome! My baby girl is 9 & she's still nonverbal
A family friend didn't speak until he was 16 ! Now he talks nonstop 😂

You have so much strength, I work with children with autism in New Zealand and it can say its the most rewarding and amazing feeling working with them, helping them, teaching them things. They are our special sort on this earth and we're so lucky to be able to come into their world. I have so much love for you and your gorgeous family. Your doing amazing, keep being the best mumma out xxx

This makes me so sad. Is like you are describing another child... I can see the pain you have because of this, but she’ll be great! She has all the help and a amazing family.
My son was diagnosed at 16 months and every single red flag she has my son had as well, but he also self harms biting and head banging. He just turned 3 and we just pray to hear i love you or mama. I feel your pain mama. Stay strong you are doing such a wonderful job it's so nice to have someone to relate you. Thanks for all the great vids❤
Stay strong. Son was diagnosed 18 months. Still waiting for first his word.
I'm in no way a professional, but I am experienced in my own life as an autistic (of course, in my own spectrum). She might have an auditory issue. She can hear sounds, but her brain can't process language very well. She will pick up on it a little later, depending on her pace. I didn't really speak properly till I was 8 and till this day I still have auditory issues. I have to watch things in subtitles mainly, but I am living a comfortable life. I get that you're concerned for her, but your love and acceptance for her is what's going to really help. I feel like your at a good start. She's going to grow beautifully💚
P.S. You have every right to mourn. I hope you and your daughter are doing well.
You're children are soooo blessed to have you and Loni for parents! Your commitment and love for them is amazing. Also shout out to Loni jr and Danielle for loving their siblings like they do!
Penelope is a beautiful child. And u guys love her enough to get her help so she can grow into the best person she can b... And she's still very adorable. How can u not fall in love with those Big blue eyes and that beautiful smile.... Evrything is gonna b ok....
She's a very lucky little girl to have you and Lonnie for her Mom and Dad.
Very brave of you to tell Penelope’s story. She is such a beautiful child who will make her own road
I wish you the best! My daughter was just like that. Unfortunately I knew nothing about autism at the time and she didn’t get diagnosed. She’s going through the process for diagnoses now at age 21 but there’s no doubt in our minds. Anyway, my point is she had started saying a couple words at around 14 months then completely quit speaking until she was almost 4. But then it was like someone flipped a switch and just started talking again. Looking back there were soo many issues that could have been greatly improved had I known but ultimately we made it through! Now she’s a beautiful woman and she’s happily married to a man she started dating at age 16. She still deals with things in a very different way but, as you know, different isn’t wrong! Figuring out we are autistic was such a blessing. You are such an amazing mom and your kids will do so much better because you’ve identified this so early. Hopefully you will find some comfort in this. My daughter and I really struggled for many years but now she’s my best friend! Much love little sister. You’re gonna rock this and she’s gonna be awesome!!

You are helping a lot of Parents and caregivers with these informative videos. Thanks for your transparency. The good Lord knows that Noah, Lex, Liam and Penelope will thrive so well because they’ll be nurtured in a home with LOVE and acceptance. As Parents, my husband and I realized that Parenting taught us a lot of things more than what we were expecting- patience and Understanding are on Top( especially now that we have a teen). Hugs to u! You and Lonnie are doing great!
Thank you so much!

I am so glad that she can get early intervention services so she can work on the things that she is behind on. I could see little things with Penelope but she is your baby so you could see much more.
Oh Mama. I wish I could give you the biggest hug. Being sad doesn’t detract from your love for her. We all picture a certain kind of future for our children and it’s okay to feel heartbroken as you adjust and process what your new reality and future looks like with her.
My son was born at 26 weeks almost 3 years ago. Last month he was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder. I've been trying to educate myself while in quarantine because his in person appointments are delayed due to the virus. This has been the more helpful information I've come across! I'd say 80% of the same things you have noticed in your daughter... Happens to my son. I'm so glad you are sharing your family story.
BTW my son has started saying mama again! The littlest things are so rewarding. Sending positivity 🙏❤️💙 thank you!
This video was very informative. I’m a young mother with an 18 month old who does a lot of the things you mentioned. She doesn’t really respond to her name , she does a lot of hand flapping , I’m not sure sometimes if she knows what I’m saying to her. It is stressful but watching your videos makes me feel at ease because I know I’m not alone !
How is she know? My son is similar
Did you inform her doctor of these signs the hand flapping is one of signs of autism please let your PCP so that your little can get the advocacy that she needs
@@lee_rayyy58 so sorry for the late response. An update she’s 2 and a half now. She does respond to her name a little bit better , she does the hand flapping less , but she does cover her ears more. Sometimes it’s random or usually when she watches tv, or gets to excited. She t talks but only when she wants to really. There is a RUclips channel called Songs for littles and she will sing every word along with them but it’s still unclear on what she says. Also a lot of babbling
@@cashkxxd thank you for the update! I will give you an update as well! My son turned 2 in august and now he responds to his name 90% of the time, he traces letter on my shirt and can follow this direction “ pick up the soccer ball give to mommy!” He understands better but speaking? He only said hand, the number 8 and no once but never said it again after that day. How did your little one started talking more or babbling?
My son laughs a WHOOOLE lot more, can make extended eye contact and can now play with you instead of alone
@@cashkxxd how is she doing now ?
Excellent in my layman's opinion. Really appreciate your intelligence, articulate speaking, and down to earth spirit. Take care of yourself, mama... You're an incredible woman and mother.
I don’t know how you do it, but you do. You truly are amazing. You were meant to be their mother and I’m so happy for your children that they’re growing up in such a loving and supportive home. You are unbelievably accepting, patient, kind and passionate about motherhood. You’re honestly supermom!
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I suspect my grandchild may have mild autism although she’s only 13 months old. She tippy toes but doesn’t walk yet. She yells a LOT. Not crying but yelling…like a hundred times a day. She would never eat baby food. She arches her back n fights sleep unlike any child I have ever seen. She face stems at times. She does reply to her name by looking at you. She bangs on toys but doesn’t play with them. Her separation anxiety is INTENSE. She has never been cuddly.
I don’t have kids on the spectrum. But I still love to watch all your videos. ❤️
Nellie is a lot like my son. If I get ignorant comments or questions from people asking what his "special talent" is, I say his special talent is making people fall in love with him. Nellie seems to have that talent as well. 🥰
i watched this channel for a long time but just came back and started binging everything from the last year yesterday and wow. you are amazing. these kids are lucky to have been born into your family and with you as parents.

I'm have a now adult son who has severe ASD along with severe intellectual impairment and vision and hearing losses. He also had a few months of apparently normal development, then fell behind.
To show some individual differences in kids with ASD, he was always a good eater, which developed into compulsive eating. He was always cuddly with me and remained that way. He loved being outdoors, but his play was limited.
Like Nelly, he would spin the wheels on toy cars, watch the ceiling fan, and lick surfaces. In his case, it was light switches!
Stephanie, I remember still, decades later, the heart break of each new bad diagnosis. Your baby is delayed, your baby is autistic, your baby is hard of hearing, your child is going blind. I cry still, and I have long accepted it. I give you internet hugs. You are a rock star.
Penelope is an angel. Keep celebrating every day!
Thank you for sharing. I have worked with autistic children, and I am seeing a lot of symptoms in my one year old, and watching this is helping me a lot. Thank you.
These videos are interesting for me, I'm autistic myself (more Aspergers). But it interests me how every child on the spectrum is different, Not one child is same from another. Sending all my love and well wishes to you, Stephanie... You got this! You're a rockstar momma. 💗💗💗

Thank you for this video. My son is 18 months and nonverbal. Our 1st specialist evaluation is coming up. He suffered H.I.E. at birth due to a botched c section. He seemingly suffered no permanent damage and his neurologist said he literally had "the unicorn" out come. He's 18 months now, and has many (but not all) the things you talked about in this video.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
I'm not a big commenter but I'm really glad you posted all of this. My son is about 2 weeks younger than Penelope, that's actually how I found you because we were pregnant at the same time. We just got referred to a specialist for an evaluation for possible ASD. He has so many similarities in behavior to Penelope but because he's my only child I didn't realize he wasn't behaving like a normal kid. Speech regression, no mimicking, no pointing or communication of any sort, doesn't answer to his name EVER, and more. You've reassured me that I'm not just overreacting (like literally everyone says). Thanks so much for sharing because you truly have helped ❤
Stay strong ❤️
Stephanie you are an amazing mum. Also you are so patient with some comments and questions you get even rude ones I don’t know how you do it. Also don’t know how you always look so lovely and put together with 6 kids 4 with special needs!! I can barely manage with 1! 💕💕💕
God Makes Us All PERFECTLY IMPERFECT. Thank you for sharing With Us.💙🙏💙🙏💙
I have a 13 months old bay and he alredy is in early intervention because since he is 10 months old I noticed I was behind and after his evaluation the doctor determined he needs therapy, I hope everything going well with your baby and mine too.
I think the hardest part has to be the people who are in denial about your child. Refusing to see the delay signs in someone elses kids and giving them even more doubt about the delays or whatever is not helpful. My kiddo is severely speech delayed and the amount of people who arent doctors or therapists who told me its normal is ridiculous. It took a good friend whos kid was speech delayed for me to really dig in and have her evaluated. She noticed the sensory issues before me as well lol. I guess Im saying we need more support, more information and less advice. Less stories about your uncle who didnt speak till he was 5 then went to Harvard at 12. We need to have our parental instincts recognized not critisized.
Omgoodness. Say it again for the people in the back 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Totally agree!!!!
It’s ok to feel however u are feeling. I will say that all those babies are sooo lucky to have such amazing parents that I know will give them the best life possible ❤️❤️ You got this mama 💪💪
I'm so glad you are able to work through this by helping others. I worked in the field for 20 years. Your children are lucky to have parents so proactive. Never, ever give up!
Thank you so much for this video. I can feel your pain. My baby girl just turned 1 and she doesn’t have everything your daughter has but she definitely is more on the quiet side. She used to be very social and acted like a typical baby but around 8 months she just changed on me. Made no eye contact, I still feed her very mushy/puréed foods because a lot of foods make her gag. She loves screens and she’s very fixated on certain toys. She just holds them and chews on them. Very little play and she seems to want time alone. She sleeps a lot, doesn’t respond to her name, she laughs but I have to do a lot to make her laugh and she pretty much does her own thing. It’s definitely very emotional because I feel like I’m not connected with her like I should be.
I feel the same with my 11 month old. Not feeling connection is the worst. I try very hard but for me it seems I had more connection with my friends babies and it breaks my heart I don't have the same with my own little girl.

Ban the screens. Altogether, nothing at all.
Late-diagnosed autistic (25yo) here who REALLY appreciates the clarity and specificity of your work!! This video is super informative and helpful for me and my family. I think it really highlights the original meaning of "auto-ism", that Penelope is so much more fascinated with internal than external experiences. Thank you so much for sharing your story and the obvious love/care that you have for your kiddos.
I found your channel as I’m looking for answers for my one year old daughter. We have OT and a Developmental therapist for sensory processing disorder. Much like your daughter it began with her eating. She couldn’t drink from a sippy or bottle. She couldnt eat baby food or anything else. She gagged, shook, tried to get the food out of her mouth with her hands. She can’t touch certain textures. She has strabismus In both eyes. She can’t ride in a car very often because she has vestibular issues as well as interoceptive issues. Her therapists have helped her tremendously and are hesitant to give a diagnosis at her age. However, I expect one. Watching your channel has helped me so much, especially when I feel lost in the jumble of the day. I just wanted to let you know that you’ve helped this tired and worried mother.
I’m so terribly sorry. I know it’s not a tragedy but it isn’t the story we’d hoped to see for Penelope OR YOU. I really hope everything will improve dramatically, with Early Steps support, until she’s closer to mild (rather than severe) on the spectrum. Thank you for sharing your truth with us, that CANNOT have been easy but just so you know... you are an amazing mother & you do whatever it takes to support your kids (including the “typical” 2) I’m so proud of you
My 14 year old daughter has ASD level 1 and I have my 9 year old daughter’s ASD evaluation Thursday. It’s been much more emotional this time around. With my oldest I just knew and to be here again is difficult but I know it’s best for everyone to get a diagnosis early. I felt your heart when processing having more than one child with special needs. My oldest also struggles with multiple chronic health issues as well. Thank you for sharing! It helps as I look back on signs in my little I might have missed as a baby, toddler, and preschooler. She met milestones then had a lot of regression when starting school. 🩷
I'm really sorry for how you feel, your child looks like a delight and I'm sure you're a very proud mom. I'm very concerned my sons behaviour has changed after his recent vaccines, but doctors think I'm crazy
My daughter has autism and was flagged at her 2yr check up but because she was completely fluent they wouldn't refer her for a diagnosis they tried to lay blame on me as her mother for her feeding issues, meltdowns, flapping/shaking and lack of awareness of danger among many other signs, when she reached school age it was evident she did not behave typically,we finally got her autism and adhd diagnosis when she was 7 in that same year she developed epilepsy too so it was a tough year for her, I still struggle to get any services for her and she's 12 now but I've found ways to help her myself through much research and educating myself, I'm so proud of how far she has come she always had and still has a wonderful grasp of language but finds it hard to communicate socially pick up queues ect.. she struggles but works so hard to better her skills as she really loves ppl and so desperately wants to "fit in" she still has some stimming and sensory issues but
Far less now than a few years ago, she has lots of friends, is in a main stream school and plays piano, she lives a very fulfilled life and autism is just 1 piece of her beautiful jigsaw and she wouldn't be the girl she is without it. I think the diagnosis can be very overwhelming for parents because we don't know what their future is going to look like, I think you are so brave sharing your experience you are helping so many parents see their way through the fog of diagnosis even knowing that someone else is going through it helps. I think penelope will be capable of anything if she sets her mind to it and has the support of her wonderful parents. Love from Ireland 💗
I’m my parents first child and having this video would’ve been really helpful for my parents as was diagnosed when I was 12 I am now 13 . And my parents were like wattttt ? When I was diagnosed and were told my traits cause if they knew it would’ve been noticed earlier . And people said to my parents things like she might have autism adhd or spd and my parents , of course didn’t know what these were and just carried on with life. I’m glad penelope has had her struggles identified so early as she now can grow up and not feel like a misfit and not have someone to explain it to her as you explain it very well
I a parent of Linda Madison and my daughter is 14 months and is breaking my life and heart not accepting my baby may have autism but your video has give me more power to confront this thank you I’m at work now looking at your video and crying cause it’s not Easy
You’ve done an amazing job on both videos and Nellie is going to be her best self, because you were picked perfectly for her. You are the most amazing and raw human and mom and I don’t know a single person who can’t relate to your videos or take something out of them. Keep pushing mama you are doing such a good job.
My 5 year old daughter is on the spectrum. It is great you got a diagnosis early on. I fought so hard around her age and finally got a diagnosis at 3.5, it makes it much more difficult to get therapies when they are older so it’s a blessing she is getting it now and can continue. My girl is 5 and has had 2 months of therapy at this point. Thankfully the things I have done with her up until this point have helped her tremendously! The babies teach us more than what we teach them❤️ they are very very special 🤗💕
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm sooo certain my son is on the spectrum to a degree but he's under two and hasn't gotten a diagnosis, and people try to gaslight me about it, saying oh every kid is different, he's 'fine'" but your descriptions of your kids are IDENTICAL in many ways to my son. This video was very helpful for me! Thank you again for being so raw and sharing so you might help others like me ❤️
Always trust your instinct
I used to watch your videos just because I liked learning about autism. Now my last baby was diagnosed with autism on May 17 2021. I didn’t take it bad at all . I feel so proud to be his mom . I have other 3 typical kids and now him . He was already loved. So I feel happy to be his mom and to start this new journey in his own world. He’s 2 and he will be starting ABA therapy and early intervention. You won’t believe me but he kind of look like Liam a little bit 😀specially the hair type so cute 🥰. His name is Jack. God bless your family. You are a wonderful mom 🙏🏻💙team blue.
Your kids are so Lucy to have the parents they have. You give your all, all the time!
This video made me feel like I am not alone. I have 17 month old twin girls, and they both struggle with sensory issues. They won't eat solids either, but will eat food if it's pureed. They do not self feed themselves. Still will not hold their bottles. They also do not ingage with each other during play. They both do their own thing. I appreciate this video, and good luck to you!
My son had so many red flags for being autistic. He started speech and occupational therapy at 2. Started at a special education preschool at 3. We were thinking he was going to get a sensory processing disorder, autism, or OCD diagnosis at some point. But the more and more he got therapy and services, the less and less we were seeing those red flags. His fixations lessened, his stems lessened, his speech increased, his eating increased, his allowance for different textures expanded...
after 3 years of special education (and 5 years of therapy) we have a typical boy with no more red flags. He is in general education and has been dismissed from all services!
We have been told that without early intervention, we could be in so much of a different place. We have also been told that ALL of those red flags can rear back up when he goes through puberty. So we aren’t at of the woods yet.
He sounds like he might be what researchers call an 'optimal outcome', which is what I am too. Unfortunately I had some difficult neurodivergent traits rear back up around puberty like doctors warned (mostly anxiety surrounding change). They haven't been anything super unmanageable however; as long as you're prepared should things rear back up, he'll be fine. I've even found the fixations quite useful (as long as I make sure to manage them); I can hyper focus and create lots of paintings in one sitting which greatly helps my budding art career.
If I were to use an analogy to describe what being an optimal outcome is like, I'd say it's like, unlike many autistic people who are born fairly blind in neurotypical situations, I was born with one eye. Although I don't have two eyes, with effort, I am able to compensate with my one eye fairly well and hold my own in most situations. This doesn't mean I'm cured though; my other eye hasn't magically grown back. I'm very happy though; it gives me a different perspective on things.
There's heaps of good youtube videos out there on girls with autism, there's lots of information about their trait differences to boys about how they imitate a lot better! Which may explain some of what you missed. Thanks so much for sharing your story with Penelope x
She is literally SO adorable!!
Don’t feel bad for your feelings. I love how educated you are with all of this. I love you’re family you’re videos and you’re channel.
I’ve just typed keywords to hopefully find something like this video, astonishing job being open regarding everything. This is a new topic and adjustment for my 14 month old son and I. Almost every attribute you’ve described are things I’ve witnessed through analyzing actions and daily time with him. I had no idea there were potential situations where symptoms could go from non-existent to intense and progressive. It’s exactly what’s beginning to happen.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! One of my twins is 20 months now and is showing a lot of signs of autism. She hasn’t been evaluated for autism but she just started Early Intervention. She also seemed like a typical baby when she was younger I thought she would talk sooner that my 3 year old did. My three year old just has speech delay. Isabela is the twin that we believe might be autistic and her twin Olivia is a heart baby she had open heart surgery. So much but I know with Gods help we can help her and be a support system.
How is the early intervention? My son will be enrolled soon
@@lee_rayyy58 It’s really helpful. The only thing is that some therapist are doing things virtually because of Covid. In my opinion I don’t like virtual because it makes it a little bit more challenging BUT it does help you learn what you can do to help your child. They guide you. I don’t know if all states are the same. We are in NJ.
Your videos helped me a lot, more than you can imagine. My baby is 22 months old but 19 months corrected. As she's turning two in a couple of months and younger babies beat her at some areas I wonder a lot. You gave me tons of information and cues to look upon while I wait for the neuropediatrician appointments to restart. Thank you for sharing your whole experience.
Thank you for making this video as I know autism is often overlooked in girls. I hope you are all doing ok
Anne Smith yes m6 daughter masked very well and is completely different not her brother and in fact she has struggled with her diagnosis and refuses to acknowledge it
Omg yes it is
You are such a great Mom. Thank you for sharing both your pain and your love. Many are being helped because of you. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
You are such a great mother and I’m glad that you’re doing the best for your kids.
I am at the beginning of watching your video and I just wanted to first say to you, that my wife and I very much appreciate this video you are making and that you have taken the time to do so to help everyone else.
Just described my soon to be 13 month old daughter! I thought she was just a mean baby wasn’t interested in ppl or anything. I honestly appreciate videos like this. I’m just so sad though but thank you very much!!!
You're a strong mama!! All your children are so blessed to have you and Lonnie as parents. Very informative information 💗💕💗💕
So glad I got the best treatment for my autistic son who is only 4 years old I've been using Dr Oyalo Alternative Herbal Healing and it has been really helpful,💯 his speech has improved completely and he can now respond to name when called and can also say what he want. This is a great Joy 🤩
Thank you 🙏 Dr Oyalo
You are a very patient and kind mother, it’s very hard on you. Take good care of yourself, your kids need you.❤️
My son is 15 months old and he has a lot of the same stims. He does the hand stims a lot and he fixates on his thumbs a lot here lately. I haven’t brought it up to the pediatrician yet though. That is my next step.
I was in a lot of denial with my oldest he’s five years old being autistic. I would cry a lot of even the thought something was wrong... being angry why my son has this ect. He just got diagnosed this month has been a huge relief he all of sudden is potty trained and he started talking more ect 2- almost five has been the worst but now things are getting better and having hope for him.
You seem like a great mother, Penelope will be loved and that's the most important thing.
My 9 year old had autism and she used to not talk or do anything,now in 2024 she is very passionate with electronics, thanks so much
Her stims are exactly the same as my son, he is 3 years old almost. He just started speech and OT, waiting for autism evacuation. Cyrus also loves cuddles still luckily and same with socializing. Thank you for the education and help!
As hard as I'm sure it was for you, thank you so much for making this video. You're helping so many people. My daughter is going to be two, and I honestly go back and forth between getting an autism evaluation. It's a hard thing. I'm still not sure what to do. But I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. Bless you and your sweet family!
I have a soon to be 9 year old and we are still on our very frustrating journey to getting him fully diagnosed here in Ireland I love your videos and your attitude to it all. You may have already mentioned this but I was wondering where you got the picture/sign that's in the background?
An autism FB group, I will find the link and post it on community because a lot are asking :)
@@OurLANDingCrew8 Thank you
Thank you for this video. Im kinda suspected my 16month old baby have those early signs like shaking head, sometimes hitting his head or hurt himself, sometimes hurting his face like slapping, waving hand, delayed speech, not imitate we say or do, and he dont responds at all whenever we call his name. Because of this video i think Its time for me to observe strictly and might get check by doctors.
Its been a while since i watched... penelope is so adorable and clearly the image of momma. Saddened to see these updates, she has the best family to help her, i just wished for a simpler life coming with a new daughter joining your family. Makes me so sad, seriously in tears watching and listening. Wi see your sadness, its gonna be a different life, i know you, lonnie and the rest of your family will embrace that and nuture her to the very best of her ability. Wishing you happiness and joy for always. Huge hugs for you all!
Omg thank you for this my daughter has some of these and going to get evaluated next week but my son has a things going on and some of the stims your daughter has and I've noticed not that he's not really interested in toys he's obsessed with shoes and remotes and toy wheels he's 20 months old and I'm still trying to figure things out with my daughter you are such a big help I'm so overwhelmed over here thank you thank you thank you
Awe she is so adorable!! Her stems have the same characteristics as Cody did and does, from Cody Speaks channel. Of course he is almost 21 years old now. Thanks to parents like you who invite us into your world if autism, I feel this world is more aware of autism and prayerfully more accepting. God Bless you and your family
So glad I got the best treatment for my autistic son who is only 4 years old I've been using Dr Oyalo Alternative Herbal Healing and it has been really helpful,💯 his speech has improved completely and he can now respond to name when called and can also say what he want. This is a great Joy 🤩
Thank you 🙏 Dr Oyalo
My daughter had pretty much exactly the same signs as your daughter and she got diagnosed shortly before she was 3. She was typical up til she was about a year old and then some regressions happened. She is 6 now and with therapy she has made such great improvement. It gets so much better with therapy, school, and exposure to other kids (typical and neurotypical). I never thought I would be able to have a conversation with my previously minimally verbal daughter. Now we can have chats about lots of things. She still has some speech (receptive / expressive) and feeding issues but I think with ongoing therapy she will only get better and your daughter will too.

I watched the nurturing neurodiversity also and her son is EXACTLY like mine
It’s good it was diagnosed early. Now you can work with her early and have lots of support. I worked for 10 yrs with children with autism. Each is different but similar. Best wishes as you take this journey.
More and more is being learned about autism and ways to work with them, who knows maybe there will be a cure in your children’s lifetime.
I cried all the way through your last video im so so sorry Stephanie your baby girl is the most cutest wee girl ever her big blue eyes and that smile it gets me every time i see her. Stay strong xxx
Well she has good caring educated parents so she's already winning.
A beautiful , strong woman ♀️ I can see her shattered and sad from inside , but look how tall she stands. more power to you mommy. nephew is autistic and I know how it feels.
Nice to see so many positive encouraging comments for you and your family steph! There will always be some people who find the negative but there are so many of us who think you’re amazing parents to your children! Thank you for sharing
I have to say I’m guilty of feeling and thinking exactly like you described. My daughter didn’t but maybe a couple of words by two, didn’t put words together or try and repeat my words. I automatically was panicked thinking maybe she needs an evaluation. When in reality, there were a lot of other cues she WAS doing like if I said get a book, she would get it, if I pointed she looked, etc. She understood some of my words, even though she couldn’t say them. Your videos helped me through that time and realizing that there are so many other aspects to autism than only speech. My daughter finally did start speaking after a couple of years of speech therapy, but I still love your channel and family and continue to watch, support and admire you and your channel. You are an amazing mom, an absolute superhero honestly. Your kids are beautiful and amazing, every one of them!
Thank You so Much I Have A 13 Month Old That DOES EVERY ONE OF THESE Things Think U And She Rarely Responds She Still Moves Her Hand Alot When Shes Mad And Excited .. Also She Has Not Liked To Be Cuddled Since 8 Mths And She Rarely Smiles At Other People And She Doesn't React Like My 4 Year Old Made 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank U I Will Start Receiving Help
Thank you for sharing, I miss a lot of live feeds because of poor internet but you are one of my favorites to watch. Love y'all and your family.
My daughter is 1 I think she has autism she has some signs the dr wants to test her when she’s 15 months. It’s so hard we want what’s best for our children I understand your pain
The lack of understanding pointing at 20 months and zero words or gestures I realised my first child had communication issues, so that was definitely a sign for me. diagnosed at 2 years level 2. Early intervention speech she now doesn’t shut up. She’s at mainstream school, reading, writing, has friends I wouldn’t change a thing about her.
You are such a strong and amazing mother Stephanie.. your children are so lucky to have you and Lonnie in their life, i couldn't even begin to imagine the struggles you deal with daily. Thankyou for being so open and honest about Penelope's story.. You are truly an inspiration.
This is the first I’ve heard of another kid having a fixation with strings! I’m an autism therapist and my 5 year old client looooves to wiggle strings in front of his face. He won’t touch toys. I bought him a stretchy snake since it’s long and moves similar to a string and he LOVES it!
Thank you sweet lady you touched my heart strings, prayers and good thoughts your ways love ya buncha 😊😘👍👍😉
My son started losing speech at 6 months. Hes a year and a half old now and were already trying to get him into early intervention, his doctor agreed it looks like autism. I have four severely autistic siblings that i grew up with, so i knew a lot of what to look out for. Im still trying to convince myself its not what it is. Its so hard. My heart is with you.
Bless you boss momma ❤️ I’ve been here for a while and I love your channel. I have a physical disability myself and I know without a doubt that you and Lonnie are doing the best for all your children and that they’re going to be better off in the future because of your sacrifices.
My son is 22 now and all her steming reminds me of Brian it would be good to keep an eye on her steming and see if its neoroligical/seizure type behavior. . .he had allll the stems and come to fond out he was having short absentee seizures the back rolling of fingers jaald up 2 corner of the eye over and over started 16 month's he started having seizures at 10yrs old and they ALWAYS STARTED with that strange rolling.of fingers that started years earlier. . . ❤💙
“Please leave comments only if your gonna be helpful”
Your kids are really cute especially Liam. Not sure that’s helpful.
You are very brave for talking so honestly about your daughter and your experiences. Sending you and your family support and caring. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, again so raw and honest! I think you are helping a lot of people with your videos!
My heart feels for you mama. My daughter is 10 now but this brings back all the feelings I felt when she was very little. I always knew (from birth) something wasn’t right as far as her being neurotypical. It took me a LONG time to get anyone to see what I knew before she was 3. She didn’t respond to me coming in the room after being at work or being gone- she just continued playing with her head down. She did the thing where she stared at the fan and kind of shook. She had GERD and a MSPI. I have 4 kids (2 boys and 2 girls) both my boys are adhd (I’m adhd) and my daughter that’s 10 was finally just diagnosed with a brain disorder. There isn’t anything to explain her delays or why she isn’t neurotypical. The only thing we know is she has seizures. She started having seizures during nap time in pre-k and that started the journey for a diagnoses since that was the first time I had anyone believe me that something wasn’t right. Her IQ qualifies her for an ID. It’s been a journey but she is the kindest, funniest, fiercest- most brave human I’ve ever met. I know how hard it is. I know the feelings of denial and acceptance and how painful they are. I am praying over each and every one of you. You are an incredible mother and thank you for sharing your world with the rest of us. 💞
I know this was kind of rambly but it’s a lot of feelings and information I’m trying to get to you through the internet. Wish I could hug your neck and tell you all this because I know that’s what you need. You are not alone in this. All the love. 💖
