My son is autistic, ADHD and bipolar. He's 23 now and doing great.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
How do you cope with him. ??
Out of curiosity, and I hope this comes off not offensive! (My son is 2.5 and I’m afraid) when you say great, does he live a normal life? Job, independent etc? Thank you!
I'm so glad I hope that for my son he is autistic with bipolar disorder and ADHD and anxiety. He's doing well now even though we struggled for many years. He's even in a club called The amazing A's at his high school that is an autism awareness club which they just did a seminar at the local education office which deals with primarily the disabled classes in our county play kicked him out because they couldn't teach him. And he did a presentation on what autism is and ways to help kids with autism learn. 😂❤
I am so happy those wonderful kids have you both as their parents! God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much! We are learning and hopefully becoming the type of parents they need us to be
My son just got diagnosed with adhd at 8yr old and what I’ve learned is you have to have full patience and Lego’s and call of duty is his comfort space aswel.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
Great videos.
My 4 y.o. son has both ADHD and autism. His symptoms are kind of mixed from your 2 youngest boys. He likes to make noise, a lot of noises. We can make eye contact and conversation with him (not as easy as with Simon) but it's hard to maintain for more than 15 seconds. He never had a meltdown ever before. We go to crowded places/play ground quite often, like 2-3 times per week and he never shows any sign of too much sensory inputs.
And he smiles a lot. We love him.
That is awesome! Sounds like a fun little guy. 😊 Thanks for commenting and watching the video. ❤️
@7Aheadfamily Sounds like my kid but haven't got a diagnosis he will walk up to anyone and talk and hang want to hang out but his words are strange to others like he says gardin of ban ban chapter 4 and kids are like what idk what you're saying also je doesn't like loud noises but has no problem at parties he loves other kids
That’s awesome ❤️. Thank you for sharing.
Stop having kids.👽
Why is that?
Thank you for sharing this video. It's very helpful.
Glad it was helpful and we're happy you found our channel! Happy to have you here, please let us know what types of videos you find most helpful!
Hello, my son is 4 just diagnosed with adhd this past September. I've been leaning towards the fact he has both. Thank you for this video
Thank you so much for sharing. 😊
A person I know has two grandsons with autism. One grandson is level one/mild and has autism,dyslexia,and possibly adhd. The other grandson has level two/moderate autism but not the other two conditions above. This goes to show that everyone on the spectrum is different.
Thank you for sharing. 💜❤️💜
This was so informative! I’m the oldest of three kids and was recently diagnosed with afhd and looking for an autism diagnosis. One of my brother has many symptoms of adhd and my other brother is definitely neurodivergent. While watching this video I realized how many signs they showed even as baby’s.
Thank you for commenting!🩵🩵 We're glad our videos have helped you!🩷🩷
This is soooo helpful! Thank you... Im new here & hope you can direct me to a Video about the Lines of Parenting/Allowing them to be their Divergent selves... How does one Balance the Noise of self expression with the Neurotypical Public Environment around them?
Great suggestion! We don’t have a video on that subject, yet. I will put it on my list of videos to make. That’ll be a good one.
I have autism, ADHD, and bipolar 2 disorder, and for a long time, I couldn't get the ADHD diagnosis. I finally got one 3 years ago. I've always had a slight desire to play with other kids, but I have severe social anxiety so I never have. I stay in my room all day every day because of the anxiety, and cause I don't like loud places. Walmart tends I always tend to be too much for me. I like to ramble on about dinosaurs and I could talk about them all day without getting bored, but when it's a conversation that has no interest in I interrupt and I change the subject, and I do it so much that a lot of people try not to talk to me so I don't hold them in a conversation about "nonsense". To them my dinosaurs and random science facts are nonsense but to me, it's something I really enjoy. I also hold conversations by relating, but people say I try to 1 up them when really I'm just trying to communicate in a way I can understand so I can stay on one topic and not be rude by changing the subject or cutting people off. Sorry I typed so much.
Thank you for sharing so much. Your comment will create more understanding in the autism world. We are grateful that you are sharing your story. Some don’t understand the struggle until it is explained to them. And sharing your experiences and the way you experience, the world will increase understanding. Thank you.
❤️ what are your favorite dinosaurs?
@@7Aheadfamily It's hard to pick one favorite bit I really like the spinosauras because It's even stronger and bigger than the t rex and they lived longer than the t rex. I also like the Gallimimus because it's the fastest carnivores dinosaur. And the Utahraptor, cause they were known to travel in packs to take down bigger and stronger dinosaurs. Thank you for taking interest in my interest. Not many people do that, and they just walk away or ignore me cause I can't tell when they get tired of talking about dinosaurs. People who listen, learn more.
@@blakeexaviar9370 So true, and thanks for Sharing! Those are some great picks! I love the Utahraptor as well, as they are the largest of the raptors and were found here in Utah, where we now call home. :)
@@7AheadfamilyMost people who don't know much about dinosaurs say their favorite dinosaur is "the king of the dinosaurs" the T- rex, not knowing there are stronger and bigger dinosaurs than them. People like the strength rather than their unique abilities. Some cool abilities are the velociraptor was the fastest bipedal dinosaur, and their instincts worked so well, they can hunt in the dark. Another awesome ability is that the spinosauras was semi- aquatic to escape the deadly dinosaurs that are unable to survive in water, like the land dwelling t-rex and and giganotosauras. And another cool fact is that the Giganotosauras hunted by running super fast and smashing themselves into other dinosaurs at full speed, so they can even beat a spinosauras which is stronger than the t -rex.
That is awesome ❤️. Do you learn most from reading, or watching videos about dinosaurs?
I’ve got autism and dyslexia. When i stim i don’t like to do it at school because people don’t know why I’m rock back and forward and walk back and forward. In school i have extra help in lessons and my friends help me. I struggle to look at people in their eyes and sometimes I can look at people in eyes its only for a few seconds. I like to have quiet spaces and i get upset if I have to much loudness sounds, I cover up my ears to stop the loudness coming in…
❤️ thank you for sharing! I’m glad to get to know you a little bit here. 😊 you sound like one of our boys talking, I’m glad you can have a good friends to help you. ❤️
I'm so sorry I don't know how this feels but mu child has adhd and ocd and she says all of this is true and very painful especially the headaches
❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing
I have a ten year old stepson who has been diagnosed with adhd and ODD. He stims all the time from slight shaking of his head to, flapping his arm and making repetitive sounds with his mouth. He also sometimes spins. His tantrums are like a 3 year olds tantrums when he can’t get his way. He couldn’t have candy last night and man he was sobbing, yelling, stamping his feet. It was incredible to watch. For a ten year old his reaction did not correlate with being denied a candy. I am thinking he may have autism.
Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
This video was some time ago but I was wondering if someone could have both Adhd and Autism but one overpowers the other or one wasn’t as noticeable in childhood but got more noticeable as they got older or the two “evened out” in a way.
I think that is very possible. Especially in women who get diagnosed with ADHD at younger ages, but also Autism at older ages.
2nd video of yours..very helpful! We have a 3 year old boy and waiting for assessment but the first pediatrician says he is autistic but we question adhd as well.
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and sharing your experience ❤️. So glad to have you here. ❤️
I can totally relate based on my own experience and watching my son. I already know he has ADHD, though he hasn’t yet been diagnosed, but it wasn’t until recently that I really started to think he’s probably autistic as well. He is five, and very smart, friendly, sweet, affectionate, etc. but he also freaks out about loud noises, or sometimes any unusual noise. He always asks questions about things he sees or hears. He has trouble listening, but other times he will repeat what you say, word-for-word, even when he was busy making a racket when you say it.
Personally, I don’t think that children should ever be diagnosed with autism until they are at least four years old, which is why I didn’t allow things before now to influence me toward thinking he was autistic. A huge difference between me and other parents of kids with autism and/or ADHD is that I know and remember what it was like to be very young and experiencing those issues. I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until I was 11, depression at 15, and autism at 28. I knew nothing about ADHD until my parents talked to me about going to see a psychiatrist for it. I recognized the depression myself and asked my dad for help. But it wasn’t until I had to drop out of college (university) when I was almost 23 that someone from the office finally noticed me well enough to suggest that I might be autistic. I researched it and realized that assessment was correct. Many people did not believe me, and accused me of diagnosing myself. It took years to finally find someplace with someone to evaluate me, and I was also re-diagnosed with ADHD. Since that point, certain people have become more accepting of the reality-since it was an actual diagnosis and no longer just something they thought I made up in my head. I never considered myself to be “self-diagnosed”; instead, I think that I just realized that I did have autism. Sure, I’m not professional, but the signs were very clear and it explained a lot of stuff about me that I hadn’t been able to figure out.
Anyway, thank you so much for this video. You guys seem to have a good way of dealing with various difficulties with your children. You seem like wholesome people, and I’m glad I came across this.
Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and sharing your story. ❤️ It sounds like you’ve been through a lot and have a lot of knowledge about these subjects. So glad to have you here and let us know if there’s ever anything we can do to help out.
@Amina90982 I’m glad your son has improved. 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Just out of curiosity, when Benson interrupts people's conversations (due to adhd) do you let him speak straight away or would you be more inclined to say "One moment please I'm speaking." As always love your videos, so informative. ❤
May I know at what age your son started speaking?
Oh my son, I thought my social butterfly son is just very very outgoing and social, I never link his traits of being social to adhd 😮😮 thanks for brining it up.
Thank you for sharing!💕💕
My 4yr olds name is Ezra as well! He was recently diagnosed with ASD after waiting for a diagnosis since 2yrs old. We also suspect ADHD too, for many of the reasons you talked about in this video. Waitlists are so long where we are, we have to fight and advocate constantly for evals though.
Wow, that’s crazy, where are you located?
@@7Aheadfamily We are just outside of Louisville, KY. We have state insurance, so finding somewhere that accepts it is a challenge, and when they do it's an average of 9-15 months waitlist before you can even make an appointment.
Wow, yeah that’s a long wait. I have seen that a lot with autism diagnosis but with ADHD you should be able to just get that from a pediatrician without too much hardship.
Just out of curiosity, when Benson interrupts people's conversations (due to his adhd) do you let him speak straight away (so he doesn't forget), or are you more inclined to say something like "One moment please i'm speaking." As always love your videos, so informative. ❤
Benson actually doesn’t interrupt other any more than the rest of us. ❤️
Wow, so relatable! I shared on a different video my story. In brief I was diagnosed with Asperger's at 16 but nothing was done to "manage" it not even given info. An update since that last post where I mentioned I was in the process of getting an updated / re diagnosis is that unsurprisingly they affirmed the autism and also for the first time, diagnosed me with ADHD combined type. The signs in this video made me realize the signs of ADHD was also there, its just that they were missed.
So glad it was helpful! And thank you so much for sharing your story and experience! ❤️
@@7Aheadfamily the same comment back at you! Thank you for sharing your story and experiences!
you are very welcome! 😀
You may not be professionals but you've given me a lot of insight
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting. ❤️
I very much relate to the routine/novelty conflict (diagnosed ADHD, strong suspicion of autism, but not formally diagnosed).
I'm not sure quite how much a need for sociality goes with ADHD, though, and sensory issues aren't the only way that autism can interfere with an outgoing disposition, nor do they always interfere.
My brother was diagnosed with ADHD before me, but if he's autistic at all it's incredibly mild (or possibly very well masked, but he doesn't show signs of the emotional toll of masking). Yet I'm the extrovert and he's the introvert.
However, of the two of us, he's always been the social butterfly simply by virtue of being more socially capable. I'm more socially driven, but also more awkward and more gunshy from social trauma. My sensory issues are primarily undersensitivities, so I don't tend to get overstimulated when socializing, it's the stress of trying to meet my social needs in a world that's unfriendly to autism that gets to me. In fact, the primary sensory thing that does tend to overstimulate me is interception interacting with anxiety to drive hypochondria, and having people around tends to calm that (if I imagine up a medical emergency, but I know people are around to give me CPR if I do keel over, the imagined emergency starts to feel much less urgent).
Wow, thank you for sharing this. ❤️ It helps so much too see and understand what other people are going through. Our kids can’t yet talk, so we don’t have insight into a lot of these things. So thank you!
My English isn't good enough but I'll try to explain accurately.
My nephew is almost 4 years old and he doesn't talk he just started to sey a few words in the last 9 months after sessions with a specialist to train him to talk, and then a doctor told us that he has ADHD and he should socialize more and then my sister signed him in a place for children like him who need socializing and the same time that place has a special trainer for kids to teach them how speak but the trainer said that she couldn't give my nephew session because he doesn't sit he's always moving (this specialist is another one than the first) and she transferred him to a doctor and that doctor started to teach him skills and stuff he should know in his age and the this doctor said the he's very clever and can understand quirky and he would talk normally after the speaking sessions but she said that he doesn't just have ADHD he has autism also.
So what we should believe does he just have ADHD or Both ADHD and autism.
I'm not an expert but I feel like he's so normal kid the only difference just he moves a lot and doesn't talk enough. But I don't Know. He'a very active and he loves to hug his older brother and mom and dad a lot. But he doesn't hugs from other family members just he's own family.
Those are some good questions. It’s very possible that he has a more mild autism. It is also very possible to have both ADHD and Autism. One of my sons has both. One thing I have learned is that getting an official assessment to know for sure is worth doing so you know how to better support your child. A diagnosis won’t change the child. It will just help you better understand them and help them better understand themselves. That is great that he is able to get help so early from a doctor.
What brand or link do you have for toddler 'backpack' /leash thing?
Here it is❤️ amzn.to/4340n0H
We also have a few others if you don't like this one😉💕💕
Really good video!
Glad you think so! Thanks 🙏
My son has Asperger's and is bi-polar. He's an adult, not doing well because he's fallen for all the conspiracies, won't speak to anyone in the family, and is very dangerous.
So sorry to hear that. ❤️ sounds like you’ve been through a lot. We talk about a lot of these text things in our ASD club. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help out.
I’ve got adhd and my parents just thought I was creative and stupid
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Thank u for sharing I got a 2 year old n im so struggling 😢 I’m so new to this it frustrates me idk how y’all do it I try to be patience n take turns with my husband bcz is so hard to take care of a kid like that
Thank you! 😊 Let us know if there is anything we can do.❤️❤️❤️
I was an autism mom but I didn't know until they were almost adults. It's when they were born. My son was born in 1991 and got speech therapy at 3 for a stutter. He was evaluated and qualified for pre-k in the school district. He didn't walk until 16 months old and was born with congenital hypothyroidism.
My daughter was born in 1995, septic after the OB let my water be broken for 52 hours. She was on 4 different antibiotics to save her life. One can cause deafness. She was always happy. She broke her leg at 2 years old and at that point the pediatrician was considering ADHD but waited until she was 4 for a diagnosis. She did poorly on Ritalin as its half life is too short. She started on concerta right before she started 2nd grade and learned to read in 2 weeks. She has auditory processing deficiency. She also is on the autism spectrum. Both also struggle with mental health. My son at 31 has a severe delusional disorder, schizo-affective, diagnosed. And my daughter is 28 still struggles with executive dysfunction and suicidal depression.
Love and hugs to you all. When they were small no one saw what I did. There were no support groups or the internet to find community. I kept wondering what I was doing wrong and why my children we so different from their peers. I escaped their abusive father when my son was 5 and my daughter was 20 months old. As a single mom going to nursing school, I didn't understand. Not until about 2015 when I started hearing about other people whose children were just like mine. And guess what?? It's NOT my fault!
God bless you and your beautiful family. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing. I think sometimes I take for granted the online autism community that we get so much support from. And yes, it’s not your fault. 😊 God bless you and your children! ❤️❤️❤️
♥️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
@@7Aheadfamily thank you very much for your validation!! Much love and big hugs. ❤️❤️❤️
Right back at you ❤️
I see a lot of similarities between your boys and my own. Both have diagnoses of autism and ADHD (one is hyperactive and the other is Inattentive).
Thanks for reaching out. :-) Are your boys a similar age as well?
Did Benson getting diagnosed with ADHD at all affect you view of getting both Ezra and Simon evaluated for Autism/ADHD? I'm just curious because I have a friend who got evaluated/diagnosed with ADHD after his sibling was diagnosed with ADHD/Autism and they didn't really see any signs in him. Just curious, nice video
Thanks for sharing. We got Ezra diagnosed with Autism years before I ever thought Benson had ADHD. But When a teacher mentioned that Ezra may have ADHD I learned a little bit about it and thought maybe Benson may be has ADHD as well. So I brought Benson along to get evaluated too, just in case. I'm glad I did. Simon was diagnosed with Autism the same week that Benson and Ezra were diagnosed with ADHD. It was a full week! -Holly
@@7Aheadfamily Oh wow! Im happy you considered your other kids as well, instead of just focusing on the singular child mentioned. It makes you guys really amazing parents!
You are so kind ❤️ we try. 😊
Great video 7-Ahead!!!!
Many many thanks. ❤️
I have dyslexia and autism and adhd and i love to spin around and i have just moved house and school and so my teachers don’t really know me very well And i dont have verry many friends in school because i dont like loud noises so i were ear defenders in school and sit at the back of the class in a corner with a teacher that can help me learn and no one really likes me because i sit with a teacher and then when i tell my teacher i need to go out of the class room i go into this little sensory room were i can learn or just calm down
Thank you for sharing your story ❤️. We are so glad to have you here on the channel, and hope you feel welcome. ❤️ Sorry that you don’t have very many friends yet at school, that can be difficult. Sending you many prayers and much love.
I'm a mix of Simon and Benson. Like, I like novelty but, it also triggers my autism so, it makes it really confusing. In the same way, I'll make my own sounds but I'll overstimulate myself and need to stop due to my autism but also feel the need to keep doing it. It makes it really confusing and I sometimes just have to choose one of the 2 needs to "win" and ignore the other
Very interesting, do you feel like you might have ADHD as well?
@@7Aheadfamily I probably have either ADD or ADHD but I don't have an official diagnosis. I was tested 3 or 4 years ago and the results said that the test they made me do said that I 100% had either ADD or ADHD but, the way that my parents described my behavior at home and at school didn't match with a diagnosis so, they couldn't give me an official diagnosis. What my parents said was a mix of them lying and me being really good at hiding my behavior since I would get punished for showing it. Like, they said that I was good at focusing on one thing at a time which wasn't true (they later admitted to me that they where referring to me being able to watch tv and stay focus on the tv, which doesn't count as being focused on something. The person evaluating me was actually looking for things like, can I stay focused on homework or puzzles for a certain period of time for which my max was, at that time, about 3, maybe 5, minutes if I even reached that amount of time and, for a, at the time, 15-year-old that isn't normal)
Makes sense. Do you think you’ll try and get one someday? Or, probably doesn’t matter because you pretty much know what is going on, I guess unless you wanted to get some medication for it.
@@7Aheadfamily Yea, I don't really need an official diagnosis since I seem to be managing fine without meds for it right now and, thanks to my autism and other diagnosis, my IEP at school already covers pretty much everything that would help with ADD or ADHD. If I do need meds one day and am unable to get them without a diagnosis, then I'll try to get one. Right now, it just costs too much to get tested so, if I'll wait as long as possible (even though I live in a country where we have free health care, you either get on a waiting list that is around 2 years long, hope that you land on someone that can diagnose you, realise that you didn't land on that person and get back on the waiting list for another 2 years and repeat until you find the right professional OR you pay thousands you go see someone in the private sector and get an official diagnosis, you might still have a 1 to 2 year waiting list but, if you've done your research correctly, you should get it on the first try)
Yeah, if you’re doing well without meditation that’s the way to go. 😊 There always seems to be a lot of negative side effects with that stuff.
As my son is autism and ADHD that we suspect maybe have as he Au hyper and lake concentration, does ADHD medication help them or it has side effect plz answer
Both, we actually just did a video on that that you can see here…

@@7Aheadfamily thank you so much I am your new subscriber I like your videos , anyway did you hear about stem cell therapy ?? Does it worth it or it’s not safe?
We’ve looked into and even done most things, but that’s one thing I have not researched. Let me know what you find out. 😊
Great video
Thanks!
Nice video
Thanks. You're awesome!
So my daughters Dr won't get her tested until she's 4!!! And yes I have asked other Drs as well. My oldest is autistic so I think my 2yr old is as well even tho she does act differently. She's still not talking much, she's EXTREMELY hyper my gosh we did a pageant recently and she wouldn't walk or even run on stage she just jumped the whole time. She was fine being around others but doesn't like standing still and throws a fit if she has to. Also during the pageant she ran the halls the enter time we couldn't get her to calm down (she was laughing) she does run at home but not like she was there omg never in my life seen her that hyper lol. She does hand stim but not a lot. She's okay around noise I never seen her act out around noises unless it's fireworks. She doesn't seem to understand what I say I can't even get her to hand me something because she rather run away, talk to herself or play with the object instead SOMETIMES after asking over and over and over again she does finally give it to me. She loves cuddling and meeting new people she has no problem being social as of now anyway. She's constantly swaying back and forth ( not for hours tho) or hitting her head on soft objects not hard ones she does this when she's sitting on the couch or laying in bed again it's not for hours maybe 5-10minutes tops and she gets bored with it. She still doesn't really draw or anything but she likes to scribble. She will watch tv shows tho maybe 1 or 2 episodes tho then she's back to being her hyper self. She doesn't run back and forth here repeatedly though she runs through the house and plays with her toys as well. She actually tries to play with them she doesn't just hold them well most of the time anyway. She doesn't like long sleeves but she gets over it after a few minutes. She will not sleep at night she wakes up all hours of the night!!! She just wants to play all day and all night lol.
What are your thoughts? I'm only asking because our Drs here so far will not test her.
Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and sharing. 😊 Ezra is also very hyper. And in truth, there isn’t really a way for me or anyone else to diagnose autism without meeting the subject. Do you happen to live in the US? ❤️
Wow, sounds like you have your hands full. I wonder why your doctor wants to wait till she is 4. What country do you live in? If you don my mind me asking. It sounds like it’s very possible she could be on the spectrum. Also Autism is different in girls. Usually they are better at masking and are more social driven and so they get diagnosed older. Your daughter sounds a lot like my aunt when she was a child. She would jump up and down the whole ride in the car. She never got assessed though, but she says she is self diagnosed Autism.
@@7Aheadfamily we live in Florida I had the same issue with my oldest they didn't finally test her until she was 4 and half as I begged to get her tested at age 2 as well but they refused. My oldest is very different from my youngest that I just described. My oldest gets overwhelmed easier and puts her hands over her ears when she's in a large enough crowd or she will just cry now that she's older she doesn't do it as often but she still has her days. My oldest also doesn't talk a lot but she seems to understand more than my youngest. My oldest also very hyper lol however my youngest is definitely more hyper. My oldest doesn't bang her head on soft subjects and never has however unlike my youngest she does make odd sounds kinda like a humming sound but not as pleasant lol she's also a lot more daring and destructive than my youngest and has always been that way. She's not as social as my youngest but she is getting better now she will hug people but she didn't use to my youngest has always been a cuddler tho. So they are very much different so it definitely keeps me second guessing maybe my youngest is just ADHD and speech delayed but then I sometimes wonder since she doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying maybe she is autistic. She does make eye contact unlike my oldest tho my oldest does just only if we are extremely close to her but my youngest will look at me usually If I'm talking to her whether or not I'm close. It just worries me if she is I already miss out on so much mommy and daughter fun things because my oldest simply can't do them and now I'm afraid I'll have the same experience with my youngest and I can't lie depresses me a lot. I try not to let it because I love them both dearly!!!!! And wouldn't trade them for the world but still can't help but worry about them so much to the point its caused me to have very bad health issues do to stress.
You are one tough mama! Your youngest sounds similar to Simon. I wondered if he was really Autistic or not. I went back and forth but glad to know for sure. There is so much mom guilt that naturally comes especially when we have kids that are so unique. I have felt it. I was so sad that Ezra wouldn’t cuddle me or even let me hold him when he was little, but when Simon came he loved to nurse and I had missed it so much I nursed him till he was 2 years old! I never thought I’d do that. How is Florida for helping with special needs kids? Do they help with costs? Do you get any respite help? Every state is so different.
@@7Aheadfamily honestly I feel like I live in the worst town ever for special needs kids which is why I want to move to the city but we don't exactly make enough to live in the city but the city is over an hour away and my husband works 5 days a week there for he has the car. There's absolutely no programs here. I am on a waiting list still for my oldest for ABA which is ridiculous I been waiting over a year. However her school has great special needs teachers and they offer her speech therapy and occupational therapy so my oldest does get some help through the school for free luckily. My youngest is too young for school and we can't afford daycare and without a diagnosis I can't get free daycare either. I have tried so many times with a few Drs but they all tell me the same thing it's impossible to diagnose a child under four because it could all be normal and one day it just clicks. It aggravate me because they were very much wrong about my oldest. My kids and I'm not just saying this because their my kids but they are very beautiful and we get told how beautiful they are everywhere we go just about so because they don't "look" autistic people think they just misbehave or stupid which really angers me when I know that's not the case. They are sooo smart just takes awhile for them to show it to others or even to me really but I have seen how smart they are and I know their full of potential just getting them the help they need has been a nightmare. Both Simon and Ezra are both very sweet wonderful little boys momma! I have enjoyed your videos on them and learning more about them.
What I usually do is use cotton wool,make little balls but not too small where it will go into the ear. But enough to fit in the ear and that use to soothe him from all the noise noise around him
That is a good idea. ❤️
Hola mi hijo es autismo tiene 4años lo diagnóstico hace 1años y no hablar es muy difícil deverd saludos desde Madrid España 🇪🇦❤
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. ❤️ so glad to have you joining us from Spain! We definitely want to visit there someday. 😊 keep in touch, and much love for you and your little one.
My 7 years old daughter have hdhd and I have autism
Thank you for sharing!❤️❤️ Do you live here in the US?💜💜
Ops, no wonder you guys so 'noticeable' about sign or symptom due to the contrasting effect.
Just like putting black and white together. But during the identification, by mixing the black colour to the white colour, perhaps everyone is wondering why the white colour become no longer white, the more black colour put into the white, it become darker. At the end, does the white turn into black?
Giving so much attention to the white while ignoring the impact of the black, the white would disappear.
The black = society
The white = autism or similar
The multicolored = the minority.
To show you guys or parents in a next level, kindly produce 12 do and 12 don't videos.
For me,
don't mix two extreme together, as ADHD will do all the stuff in the spotlight while ASD is riding on, just like joining without participate. Not to mention to participate for laughing. Participate means the other person join what autism is doing, and autism need to react the other participants. This will improve some team gesture. Do think of an event or occasion where people around him can join him playing together. Let's he walks alone, the other will follow him, and make sure he knows everyone is enjoyed being with him. A gesture that people keep him accompanied whenever he is satisfied alone or being alone, play the things he had on hand together.
The second thing is do not make autism people fat. Hahaha, though it is not the surrounding people is making autism fat, the autism himself might turning himself fat due to the non verbal effect.
Regarding the jumping spinning running constantly it is just a delaying effect, once he gets older we all can not see adult autism running around. Hahaha. The word 'delay' that learning something in a delay mode and capture everything so sensitive.
Hope this helps. 👍
Thank you that does help.
It’s kinda sad that Ezra always has to be watched 24/7 and can’t be a normal seeming boy. His little brother will grow up and he won’t ever get the same life as everyone else. But he seems mostly happy and it seems like he’s getting the best life possible. I’m glad you guys are happy. And I wish all of you the best.
Thank you. ❤️ Yes, Ezra is probably the happiest of all of us, honestly. 😊
I have to have Extra help in school, i have a TA in lessons.
@@superflashrxx3692 that is awesome you can get that help.
@@7Aheadfamily thanks i get that help to help me when I’m out of school
@@7Aheadfamily I’m am in year 9 what means next year i will have GCSEs
Oh you answered my question my son is autistic but we suspect he has ADHD too 😢
❤️❤️❤️ glad the video was helpful, yeah, we are trying to find a combination of medication to help Ezra be able to focus and not be too tired and sad.
I see sometimes that Ezra chews on his shirt I chew on everything but then my dad bought me these chewys necklace that I can chew on if he likes to hold things I recommend the necklace
You are right. We actually bought chewing necklaces for Ezra’s a few years back. We have since then lost them. But we need to buy some more.
I like your yellow shirt Holly
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
How does benson cope in school with adhd
He has some really great teachers who give him extra help. He has an IEP that gives him some extra help as well. For him it's all about motivation and making things a game. If there is some sort of game or competitive aspect he is more motivated to learn. -Holly
@@7Aheadfamily Simon going special school
Plz answer me
Right now he’s just doing in-home therapy, but he will start a special preschool in the fall. 😊
You got it, thanks for asking. 😊
You should do just signs of adhd
Great idea! We will add that to our list😊
Ok thank you love your channel
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
👊
I think I have adhd..
Why do you think so?❤️❤️ If you don't mind me asking.
Could this not be describing any child, not necessarily one that is neuro divergent?!
It depends. Autism and ADHD really depend on the frequency and duration of these signs. My example, lots of children spin jump and run around. That is neurotypical. But my autistic kids may jump for two hours every night. And Tun from one side of the room to the other many times a day and if I don’t redirect them they may do that for hours. I’m sorry if I didn’t mention that in the video. A lot of the behaviors are signs when they are overly intense to the point where the child cannot function. So it’s not just an anxiety that a child can set aside and ignore, but an anxiety that makes them throw up consistently or make it so they can’t function, without support. I hope this adds more clarification
@@7Aheadfamily Thanks for the clarification and patience in your response. :) I'm new to your channel.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting ❤️. We’re so glad to have you joining us here. We love to hear your comments, so keep them coming. 😊
I'm paralyzed in fear because. 2 seconds ago. Yes give me but I'm just waiting for the doctor to come see. Me though but I was scared I was scary Al right? II didn't I didn't appreciate you people a lot. I am in the hospital. I don't have my kids very often that's f****** hurts.

Attention
Deficit
Hey
Donuts
Lol! Yes.
Benson doesn't seem like he has adhd but i could say the same for anyone it just depens on the person how servere it is and how it effects them also is adhd a spectrum because it seems like it would be considering people with adhd would be efected difrently like autism but diferent although autism is called asd or autism spectrum disorder which is clear that ist a spectrum (it would be dumb if it wasnt) and im wondering if adhd is a spectrum aswell
Don't want to sound like hate just saying but I don't know much about adhd and people can hide their conditions.
I also don't know Benson's day to day life and strugles so how would I know if he has adhd or not I just have to trust that your telling the truth but why would you lie about having adhd
Yeah for sure ADHD is totally a spectrum. Thanks for asking. ❤️
People can and often do hide their conditions. 😊
His ADHD makes it so he has a hard time sitting still for long periods of time and also so he has a hard time focusing on certain things, like reading. 😊
I was one of the unlucky kids that they tried to give me Lithium for ADHD
Wow, that doesn’t sound good
Nice video!! Are you pregnant?🥳🤗
Yes I am! I have been so sick with this pregnancy, like throwing up all the time. This video was actually pretty difficult for me to do because of my pregnancy. -Holly
@@7Aheadfamily Take your time & Rest 🎻⛱️❤️
I know. I need to do that too. Adam helps a lot with the kids and get's them ready every morning so I can sleep in. That helps a lot, and Mark is actually making dinner right now for everybody, so that's nice. -Holly

I have ADHD
Glad to have you here! Did you have any additional things that you wanted to add about ADHD from our video?
Something you should add is … There are three different types of ADHD one is the combined,ADHD the second one is Hyperactive-Impulsive, and the third one is Inattentive.
Also I Get help from all of my teachers and I get extra time on my homework which is really good and helped me a lot
Thank you! That is great information to have for the next video. ❤️
That is very helpful and good. 😊
I have ADHD to and I have the best teacher I’m just like benson but I have A ton more energy than him
That is awesome! What does your teacher do that makes them the best?
@@7Aheadfamily they let me walk around the room and play with toys to help me focus and I have to stand to do my work I can not sit and I’m a sophomore in high school
That is so awesome! Yes, Ezra will definitely need that type of flexibility. 😊
