I love how people are talking more openly about autism. Ps: Josh with a beard looks exactly like Daniel
Looks like a young man now josh!
👋 x❤
Max is the most charming young man,he was so brave to work in the shop,any one would be blessed to have him as a friend.
Max looks so much like teenage Harry Styles, even his cute little smile is similar😮❤.
Millie should have had more years between kids. Chester wants attention for himself by any means possible. It's only been a year and now there's another baby.
You're doing amazing Millie, 3 kids under 4 is hard work, and max we're all proud of you xx
Josh and Max what lovely lads a credit to you guys
I have aspergers and I know how actally max feels with his Austim and bless him
Oh bless Max ❤ and how lovely that Josh has his back. I'm sure with people like that to look out for him, Max will gain in confidence massively.
Bless Max and Josh🙏🏼I’m glad they have each other and that Max has someone he can openly talk to!
God bless Millie🙏🏼Sometimes it’s not easy being a mom! Millie you are a good mom and you got this❣️
As an autistic person in living in Denmark. In the county i live in, we are a group of autistics who have created a board game group. We learned it have with time, become, more and more easy to open up intern. Maybe Max could benefit from something similar, where one goes out and meets other people with autisme from different parts of the spectrum. Where the judgement of ones feelings and perspective is minimal. Simple during to the rest, being in the same situation. It helps against loneliness while also creating friendships for other occasions.
Like now i got a friend, who is just as crazy. As myself for for fixing old broken furniture, creating new out of old, being general creative and talking about how it could be fun to make an living from it.
Aaaw, Chester is just reacting to a new kid on the block! He can't really talk about his feelings yet so he is acting it out for you. It is so, so tough managing it all but it really will pass. Keep the faith Millie, you are doing great 🥰🥰
I just i love max his got some great sense of character and personality wise a vary good gentle man
It's wonderful to see how Max can get support and guidance from his big brother. Sorry your going through a tough time Millie. It's a good thing Sue is there for support.
To EACH Member of The RADFORD Family! I do-wish to express that from what I’ve seen AND heard from Each One of You, I Simply Just Adore You……….You Please Continue to show the world the Love Each One Of You have Inside Your Hearts And Minds…..Here-Here Everyone to the RADFORD Family💜💙🩷💕💗💓💘😍😘🩵💚💞🧡👍👨❤️👨👨❤️💋👨💏
It’s lovely how your children look out for each other xx
How lovely of Josh to have that conversation with Max 💙
It’s so lovely how all your kids are there for each other. Josh listening and giving advice to Max was so good to see. I think it’s great that Max is willing to talk publicly about his autism. I’ve seen from comments here already that people in similar situations are relating to it. I think that and raising awareness is a very positive thing. And Max is a lovely, sensible and bright boy! He’s growing up fast too 😱
I also have autism and know how difficult social interactions can be sometimes.
For me it a routine.. you will get there Millie.. it will be ok.. love and dicipline equality..
Just sat here this evening watching this episode and had to come and write here. My son Alfie is 12 in June. His homeschooled and autistic. His exactly the same. I would love it if max and Alfie could reach out to each other if possible. ❤ Got emotional watching this.
Max is wonderful and we all adore him
Lots of cuddles with Chester he'll realise there's enough mummy for everyone❤
I have autism myself I don’t have friends either I find it easier to make friends on social media like facebook and instagram xxx
Bless you
I will be your friend x
@@hayleybutcher5371 aww thank you ❤️
Bless. I would love to chat to you. Do you have Instagram?
Same I have autism and since I moved to a new college I haven’t made any friends
@@Ottilie2306I hope you make some friends soon 🙂
I'm autistic. I was diagnosed at the age of 58. We shouldn't have to feel that we are wrong and neurotypical people are right in what they do . What is it about having to socialise? Nobody should feel that they have to have loads of friends and that people will like us if join in. How about we are not forced to join in?? In my 70 years I have gained absolutely nothing from chit chat. I would rather have a conversation with one or two people about a shared interest than sit in a roomful of people I don't want to be around. I've always sung in choirs and played in orchestras or other smaller groups of musicians. I joined because of my love of music and I got so much from taking part in something In a really good at ! I've sung in Cathedral Choirs and with Rod Stewart! I would go home absolutely buzzing, and if everyone else went on to the pub let them. Autism is my superpower. I have 6 grandchildren aged between 18 and 24, and 3 of them are Autistic as well. Be yourself Max find other people who share your interests and stop trying to fit in because you never will. Dr Luke Beardon has written some brilliant stuff on Autism and many celebrities are now disclosing that they are Autistic. There are great role models who live their lives without trading off their true selves to fit in. You are special !!
No offence of the Radford Family, but OMG Millie you got ya self in that state, keep ya legs closed and learn to look after your kids.
We all find it overwhelming when their young but Stacey I bet your perfect NOT 🙄
Max, you are perfect just the way you are ❤. Josh is a wonderful big brother ❤. Never ever doubt yourself Max. You have the best support around you darling ❤
I love how all the family is close. I'd consider Max pretty social just by being open and talkative with all of them. As an only child, I find that even making time for cousins is draining for me😁. Max is right-- there's lots of social focus and pressure in school and that's not always fun! You do you Max
As an autistic person myself and parent of asd kids.. this is so appreciated. Go Max🎉❤ you are understood by so many across the world. I also empathize with Millie.. I have more than 3 and it's no joke. You can do it! Your parents have done a great job with you all.
Honestly ❤that's a older brother looking after younger sibling what good lad family stick together ❤️
Im waiting for an Autism assessment myself and always struggled socialising, much prefer making friends online, its so much easier
I can certainly relate to Max's issues; I have autism and also social anxiety, and growing up I'd often sit in my room gaming or reading because I really struggled with social interaction. I definitely found talking with other autistic people to be helpful, as they do tend to understand in a way other people simply can't.
I feel the same but I love making new friends but I have issues with my autism and ADHD and I also have bipolar and asthma to
Being Autistic doesn’t make you any different to anyone else it just means that you need a little bit of help sometimes. Im autistic myself self so I know what you mean but you are doing great just the way you are Don’t change yourself for anyone
loved this as my 15yr old grandson as autism and life is a struggle for him x
Hi Max & Josh" just watched this 😍
What a lovely brotherly love" see you both up over the years" Josh has just gone from a boy to a lovely YOUNG MAN' & Max your sure a lovely lad: it's good you have a special bond.
I have a GREAT Grandson with Autism" lovely boy" he's 7 now" but my granddaughter tells me: YOUR THE ONLY PERSON HE HUGS & KISSES: Yes we have a special bond: I'm not allowed to put my arms around him" he won't sit on my knee" but sits so close me & snuggles up to me" when he leaves" he will go up the road" then always runs back so HE GIVES ME A KISS.
MAX" I have an idea 💡 😄 Talk to your mum & dad first: why don't you start an ON LINE Autism group for CHILDREN" Supervision from perants of couse" & I could do with a little more information & I'm sure other kids" would love to know how" other kids with Autism cope" & they are not the only ones who have Autism" I think your just the person to do that:
SUE & NOLE" I hope I'm not stepping out of line" sorry if you think I have" but I think Max is just the one to do this"
Love to you ❤️ 💕 x
I have Autism. Glad you can open up with your family about how you feel. I struggled to make friends at school too.
Max is lovely...he could be friends with anyone. If Chester's aggressiosn gets worse, you can get behavioural help for him... They learn at such a young age what they can get away with, they are little sponges and can learn what is acceptable behaviour..
Oh bless Josh for being the best brother to Max. Max needs to hear what Josh said. My heart goes out to gorgeous Max.
Poor Millie it can be real tough with a hyper baby. Plus she has anothervyounger baby now also. 3 very young ones is real hard work especially when your tired.
Sue your a wonderful supportive mother. ❤
At a delightful boy Max is ❤
Awee sweet millie 🥰💖💖 it’s ok!! I ha e 7 going on 8 kids and I have a couple really hard boys! They really are crazy!!! 🤪 and drive you to the extreme! They don’t mean to.. they explore EVERYTHING take everything apart, and cling to their mom’s they are VERY NEEDY keep your chin up! And don’t feel bad about crying! It’s normal and very natural to have super hard times! I had a hard girl too absolutely relentless! But my 1 hardest kid so far was my 3rd a boy! Oh my WORD!! He got into EVERYTHING!! Dumping everything over and braking all the toys and nice things wasting all my everything that was in a bottle he could squeeze! Writing all over the walls! And just being soo crazy!! 😱😱😱😱 I didn’t think I would survive it! Some days I seriously resented him in everything! But now he is a 12 year old boy going on 13 and he is starting to listen and understand things.. and hopefully he will keep improving! Just be consistent and love him and make sure when you can get a break you can just spend some time alone to rest your nerves and mind and regroup yourself so you can keep showing up for that sweet little busy boy 💖🙏🥰💖💖💖🫶🫶🫶🫶
My son was recently diagnosed as an adult and had socializing issues growing up. And is still not as social. My grandson is 10 and isn't very social and is very internal. Poor Millie has her hands full. Best of luck sweety
Max you are a special young lad keep going forward xxx
As an autistic person that has an autistic child happens, but at the stage that young Josh is that dealing with school and socializing it’s hard, even have big family. It’s extremely hard I tell you have a space in your mind that you need to retreat to go to and if Life just gets too much, it’s OK to go to that place it’s different than being in a big family. Most people say the same just like having a big family that’s different. Mentally you have your own space like you’re gaming that’s cool it’s hard to connect you my son says that you just got your own Getaway to recoup and come back to be with your friends and your classmates
Josh very kind and understanding. Dear Max you are autistic and many of us are..dont worry about what others think and socialing over your comfort limit..do whats best for you.. plus dont think its a flaw or obsess over having to socialise of It drains you out there there are people that will be drawn to you and dont feel bad if you find comfort on video games,Books, alone time(of corse too much gaming can gove you a headache anf eyesight problems and best if you are more outside to prevent Low vitamin d..if too much gaming..remebmer your a beautiful introvert with a rich inner world and that is magic that no extrovert could ever understand...its your nature and petsonslity and nothing wrong with not fitting into the expectations of the majority..introverts and autistic people have done wonderful things throughout history.
I think Chester will be an outside boy.when he rattles the toys like mad he dosnt know not to do it hes just playing a boys game.
I found boys harder to look after and i know mums who find girls harder to look after .
Dont dought yourselves milly.you and your partner have not been parents before and also you have a mum who makes it look easy. Although her first 3 were probably a handful for her❤❤❤❤
I very Happy Josh is Austim and I am Austim So I wait this for 13 years for this happened and I hope he make new friends in him school and for me I started high school and for me is hard so make new friends still now 😢I never tell my mom so I feel Josh and I hope you is wonderful things in the real world I love josh and the Radford Family From Sayan Haque and Canada ❤❤❤❤
Think max looks like a younger harry styles lovley family🥰
Yes he does doesn't he I see this too
How lovely is Josh. Max too.
Max you will do great, I understand your social skills are not great,but you do things that your comfortable with,don't worry about anyone else outside your family as people will love you for who you are,My grandson has Aspergers and I've raised him he doesn't have good social skills like you he's a gamer he's at college doing a gaming course and is going to university to do gaming. So use your good skills and you'll be great. Most importantly be Happy ❤❤😊😊
I'm autistic so is my daughter and my son, when my son was chester's age he would open the front door , in the end i kept it locked and hung the keys up
Sue said going from 2-3 was hard in an older documentary.
Also, Josh and Max have such a nice bond.
Yoooo. Hold up!!
I seem to have blinked & Max has suddenly grown up!!!
Hi All, Max, I am so glad you sat down and talked to your brother good on you 👍Max, you are one caring loving person DONT let anyone say any different & as for Chester he is a little toddler just begging to feel his feet when Chester does something wrong or pulling hair he doesn’t deserve to be smacked that is not the right answer
❤
What do the children of Mr and Mrs Radclife. Do for living.
I know how he feels as I have Aspergers Syndrome myself
Max, it’s a good gang to be in. The autism gang I call it. Just be yourself- one thing I’ve learnt throughout my life- 34 this year!!! Is that everyone is different so will be someone you want to be mates with… you are so right about school. But once you get to college/university/ work- it’s not like that. It’s more , in my opinion about what you put in. So just keep being you mate and remember that if someone has problems with the fact you have autism, it’s their problem… you will always be autistic and nothing will change that, but the others have a choice to be a person that accepts people for who they are or to the the person that discriminates others… at the end of the day the latter type end up in a cell somewhere for their behaviour. As it will get worse if they choose that path. But that’s theirs to choose.
My mum taught me that this basically means that I will always be me and autistic but the other person can choose to be a good person or a nasty person. I used to blurt this out when people were being nasty! Lol and it cause me to laugh and blush but it showed others that I didn’t give a crap about what they were like as I was concentrating on myself and what I wanted etc.
and looking back- I have too many other issues to work- but it set me up to being a better person as a lot of people I seen now that I went to school with are still at the bottom of job roles, they haven’t achieved anything to be worthy off. I can’t work but have achieved other goals. They haven’t. And a lot have kids at young ages.
Only the ones that did the same as me and focused on work and doing better themselves against themselves not others, have achieved success in work and are further through training etc.
My point, don’t give up. Sorry for the ramble, it’s part of my autism that I don’t always have the words to say what I want.
My son is autistic with profound learning difficulties, complex needs and is also nonverbal, but he finds his way to make friends with his fellow class mates and I’ve been told it’s a joy to watch.
we are unique all of you like me whith autism
Beautiful family, all seem like genuinely good people. Prayers for 🙏 all their struggles. Have y'all tried praying 🙏? Give it to God , and have faith. You will see positive changes 😉.
My son has asd he’s home educated n he prefers gamin to real life
Is this the last episode it's not been on tonight
What a brother josh is well done kid and max your amazing xx
Will you be doing another series
Hi Max, I'm also autistic :)
Millie struggling with her children is unable to comprehend what a mother's job is. Thank you, Sue.
What a lovely caring family
My 22yr old son is autistic and he has said the same things. "Virtual world is diff than real world".He is a gamer and designs them now
I must have gotten mixed up over the years…because I thought it was Oscar that had Autism….. Bless Max….with a special family like the Radfords always behind him….he will be just fine. ❤
Sue understands millie is autistic and will always need her to take care of millie and her children. Noel knows too and wiil always have his daughters back. Not 22 but closer to 25
I am the same with my autism do what u enjoy ❤❤
What did do while he was having his hair pulled?😮
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Call supernanny before it’s too late!
My great nephew has it
Gorgeous Max 💙
Shouldnt have had 3 kids at such a young age..!!
Hi can I use this video as I do austim radio
Sorry I have to ask again. Why was Millie so upset just after the hair incident??????
It’s called editing
It was not her hair, so guess it wasent because of that 😅
I love the radford family so much love the blogs .I'm sorry but I don't love the TV filming. I prefer homemade 😊
I'm sorry uses do a better job
i have autism my self i am 20 now
❤
am gay and i have austim and dylislex am just coming up to be 24 and i stuggel fitting in and making new friends i collet toys cuddly toys as i always thought its becuase i don,t have younger slibings to play with just two older sliblings i stuggel with day to day things and i also have hard time getting a job as when am i a job i don,t no what to do or and they end up getting rid of me
You are a busy mom. Give it time it’s tough to be the middle child. Give him a lot of mom and daddy time he will be able to stop getting in to trouble. They are all very small and busy.
I had 3 kids before I was 21, 11 months apart. My saving grace was being young I had loads of energy. We were poor but that was also a blessing as now my children who are 43,44 & 45 are educated, hard workers with great careers and great parents to my 10 grandchildren. Time flies as you well know so this stage will be gone in a short time.
This kind of discussion should not be shared on the web its for family only
The lads would’ve given permission for it to be public. It’s not something they’d have been forced to do!! And surely talking about these things publicly helps to raise awareness and helps others in similar situations. I see that as very positive
Just discussing pigs
Max, just be yourself and people with your same interests will gravitate to you. There’s def someone out there that loves video games like you and probably uses them to make sense of the world.
Dad do
How old is this?
It’s going to be shown in the programme on Sunday 22 kids and counting Channel 5. It would’ve been filmed sometime in the last 6 months I think
I wonder why there is a need to expose so many intimate things about your own children on the internet, this is ridiculous.
We've gotten to see his (Max's )journey since early channel 5 coverage. It's nothing shameful so why shouldn't they share? It's normal life stuff that people relate to.
It's called real life :)
Well said abbii
Just the truth, Autism isn't an illness or something to be ashamed of :)
@@abbiiwedge7532 Real life with a camera in your face, recording family videos as if you were on a reality show is real life?
Ahh Chester 🫣 😂 if its any consolation the do grow out of it …usually 👀
max your are so handsome.......
