- This is one of the hardest videos I have had to film. I talk openly about autism diagnosis and the process we went through. Some words of wisdom on how I got through it. I am as honest and raw as I’ll ever be.

Dylan Larson that’s amazing thank you for messaging me. You do have an amazing name . I hope you like the videos x

Dylan Larson I am high functioning autism to and I am 18 and I graduated high school
Bravo dylan. Stay blessed
This makes me so happy to hear. Hoping my daughter will accomplish all you have Dylan
This made me soooo emotional. My two year old was recently diagnosed with level 3 asd. He was playing with his cars today and I was on the floor with him and he came up and kissed me twice 😭🥰 seriously the best feeling in the world
Natalie Mastroianni oh that’s made me cry! So lovely big hug x

I don’t have a child with autism but somehow I stumbled I across of this video. I just want to say that those videos of you and your son are one of the most precious things I have ever seen. You are an amazing mama, respect to you.
thank you so much for taking the time to comment really means a lot x
@@ComingHometoAutism salute for your bravery for facing and dealing with your son ❤️❤️
I see some signs in my great niece but I'm scared to say anything to my niece or my sister cause sometimes people take things the wrong way my great niece is 1 and I notice she ignores u she flaps her hands when she get excited watching cartoons she's not saying most words toddlers say could someone please give me advice on how do I bring it up to my niece or my sister who's the grandmother
@@ComingHometoAutism I had a classmate who had a brother with autism she was kind of his caregiver because parents had nothing to do with him yeah she was kind of mean to him at times and yeah she could be kind of a b**** to him at times but she was also the same kind of woman that would bounce your head against one of the school tables have you even looked at her brother wrong I still the same kind of girl that would probably river dance On your body if you made him cry and also the same kind of girl they told a 6 foot football player if he made Fun of her brother again he'd be a 4 foot football player and she was 4 feet herself
Lots of similarities to my story and my son. He's almost 23, did 2 years in college, has worked jobs, traveled, has hobbies and groups of friends and lives a great life.

I wish this to my daughter in Jesus name.

Inspirational and encouraging
Wow thank you for sharing! That gives me so much hope!
I just found out last week my 4 year old first born child is autistic & it's hard because he doesn't say any words I spent 2 nights crying just trying to figure out how can I help him, I just want to say God gives the biggest battles in life to the strongest soldiers, You are a strong person and an Amazing mum! X
Im 22 and I was diagnosed with Autism when I was 16 and I did 4 years at college and now I'm in my 2nd year of university doing better than I ever thought I would
That's amazing so very happy for you ❤
@@TeresaRamirez-yb9iu thank you
Thank you so very much for sharing xox
This is awesome! Love that your strong to share this and help others. I taught autistic 4 yr olds for 10 years and learned so much from them.
I’m crying watching this because I’m going through all of this with my son. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for this video! My daughter just got diagnosed with autism. She’s 2.5 years old. I cry, I cry a lot because I feel alone and I’m overwhelmed and I don’t know where to start. Your video made me feel that everything will be okay. Thank you very much
thank you for your comment. its all going to be ok i promise you . i know its not easy but you have a big support group behind you. x
Khristine Ocampo thank you for your comment. It’s ok to cry it’s part of the process but I do promise you everything will work out and there are so many parents like us and we are all on a similar journey and together we are stronger xox
Be strong, you can do this. My son is now 23 and he was diagnosed at 3. It’s been a rocky road but honest there is light. Here if you need to talk or need support.
Please, do some research about vaccines second effects. No 100% of kids respond the same way. Good nutrición can clean the system. ( I am not an expert). Take care.
🌹
I am an expecting mom. I am so glad I stumbled on this video! I am a special needs teacher for level 3 asd. You did amazing in intervening with your son. I am always very amazed when parents educated themselves and whole heartedly do the best they can for their child! Thank you!
I am just melting watching this.
So brave. So strong. So proud. I’m in admiration of your strength.
This made me cry, I felt like it was me speaking through that video, thank you for posting, my son is 2.5 years and has his ASD assessment coming up, in my heart I know but just want the resources to help my son have the most happy life he can have. You are an amazing mom❤ Lots of love from🇨🇦
What an amazing Mum you are. A big thank you for being such an insightful Mum and sharing your knowledge with others.
Thank you for watching
🙌 for your statement about early intervention! I am an early intervention provider in the U.S. and have found some really nice success with the Autism Navigator program for toddlers.
Chantelle Miller hey there thank you for taking the time to comment and for you for all that you do to help families like ours x
Neverending thanks for sharing your case. I'm a doctor, even if I'm not a pediatrician but we learn faster and faster from case videos rather than from books. It takes to be intelligent and brave to share such experiences. Keep on so and I wish you all the best for your son. A huge hug.
You're right families with the "typical" child do not understand. It took me having my second child and watching her developing faster than her big brother was the awakening for me. You're a beautiful family, thank you for your openness.
Jasmine Perry thank you my friend x
You have a wonderful relationship with your son, well done. My daughter was diagnosed at 18 months, I have brought her up on my own along with her older brother. It has been hard work but when I see how she is now at 31 I am so proud how she has coped along the way. She has a job, drives, and has many wonderful friends all with some form of learning difficulty, she could not cope with mainstream friends, her brain doesn't function the same way. I wish you and your lovely family all the best, all the hard work and perseverance will pay off.
my nephew and godson is autistic. it all depends who raises them. most ( not all ) are not sure what to do, but some do and they go above and beyond to raise them like being normal and they will and can live a brilliant life. it also depends on the level of autism he or she has.
Dylan is absolutely beautiful! You are such a strong, amazing mama! Your family is so blessed to have you...sending you lots of love
sweetest comment ever thank you so much x
Showing love and educating yourself was the greatest thing you could have done. Bless you.
This is a great channel. My almost 17 year old son has Autism. It is a journey. We all, (as parents) do the best we can. Please be good to yourselves so that you can support your child with Autism. I wouldn't want my son any other way. He is amazing. All of our children are amazing.
This is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours but it is apparent that you’re a wonderful mummy
Emily Scobie thanks so much for watching hope you enjoy the others too xox
Thank you for sharing this. As a speech-language pathologist, it is so moving and important to see autism from a parent’s perspective. I’m glad you had the wherewithal and people in your life to take the action you needed to brighten your son’s future, and I wish the same for all of the parents I work with on a daily basis who are in the same situation.
Melissa Arauz thank you for taking the time to comment . It was only myself that pushed me forward and this is why I started this channel to help others through what was a very lonely time for me x
You are in good company, lady. Every last symptom you mentioned, my son had and has too....power to us all and for our children too. 💜
médiatique .video together we are stronger x
My brother also has autism I’m so emotional watching your video that I couldn’t finish them but I feel you and as a sister to him I want to say that living with autism is special and not easy, it’s love that keep us all together. I’m proud being his little sister and now that I’m having my first child, I understand my parent more and more and I’m so proud of them raising both of us. Thank you for making this video and sharing your personal story. It meant a lot to all the autism family ❤️❤️
I loved this video, my son is 7 with Autism. He was almost all non verbal until he was 5! Now he is making complete sentences and can have a conversation! He is half autism program and half gen ed. We never know how our kids will grow but we can never give up on them. Forget the doctors who say there's nothing we can do. We as parents have to work hard for our kids. Bless you and your beautiful family. ❤
Amazing story thanks for sharing x
Thank you so much. I’ve been so overwhelmed lately cause doctors keep telling me everyone develops differently but there is a clear difference between a meltdown and a normal toddler tantrum and she turned two in July and still isn’t sleeping through the night. We struggle to go out to eat as a family and get so many looks when she gets over stimulated and we even try to go during the week when there aren’t many people there. This video has given me the strength to try again with her doctor cause they don’t see any of it. She has seen how frustrated people can get when she is overwhelmed and so in a new environment with different people around she doesn’t show her true self as much and then melts down when we get home she struggles with being in her car seat so we always have to keep toys and snacks in the car but we never know what is going to work on what day and don’t get me started on how hard the days are when our schedule is different. I have been trying to work with her and find what works for her but everyone around me keeps telling me to just discipline her and that I can “out last” her melt downs when I have to take what makes her comfortable like juice or milk at night without any guidance on how to replace that coping skill. Thank you so much for these videos they are really helping me to not feel like a failure as a mom so often ❤🙏🥹
❤️❤️❤️ Your video is still being watched. Thank you so much for sharing your story! It gives me hope.
Thank you for your candidness and honesty. I’ve never had a child but I’m a teacher and am familiar with autism. I appreciate your honesty. It’ll help many.
Sharing stories makes hearts feel relief and more comfortable...
i am so pleased x
You are such a good mom and you are helping alot of people with this video.
keep your head up and stay strong sweetheart...
thank you so much xox
Thank you for this video. I have worked in the field of early intervention in a school setting and now own an inclusionary preschool. Videos from parents who live this everyday are so helpful for other parents going through the same thing.
Thank you for sharing your journey. Your story is powerful and brings lots of hope. I don't have any children yet, but I am really inspired by your strength and dedication to your son. I am so happy to see Dylan's progress. Blessings always.
thank you
Whenever you decide to have children look into the dangers of vaccines. They do cause Autism. Go to vaxxed tv on CZcams. You will learn so much from the parents. My son is two and never been vaccinated and he is healthy as can be
Hi I know it’s tough to tell us your story but you still continues. Thank you for sharing us I’m so appreciated. ☺️☺️
sarah azalia thank you x
I have never left a comment but this video compelled me to share a bit. Thank you so much for making this video! My 3 year old son was diagnosed ASD recently and tho I knew very early on, I’m still coping with my feelings and anxiety. I don’t always feel connected to him but I am searching for information and guidance to learn more. Again thank you for sharing your personal experience. A day like today where we barley got sleep and our morning was rough, and I dropped him off at preschool so I could sleep and cry alone; I am so grateful for the hope your video gave me.
Sending you a big hug please watch my video how I deal with my anxieties. I hope this will help you as you need to be gentle on your self also. Sending you a big hug c
Thank you for this video. We just got the diagnosis today. It has been overwhelming and I already have been feeling like others don’t want me to feel all the emotions I’m feeling about this. I love my son and know he can and will live a full life, but I still have fear and worry about how the world will treat him.
I was just told my son is possibly autistic. I’ve been noticing more signs now and I feel so overwhelmed. I am also 3 weeks postpartum so it has been a lot. I love my babies so much… I’m just so sad thinking about how others might treat him.
The world is changing very quickly and in favour of our kiddos keep positive, it’s gonna be okay x
You give me so much hope, you make me want to keep going, it gets so hard with 5 children and one of them being Level 3 on the spectrum and hearing loss in his left ear. I feel like I have no one that can relate but after seeing this IM NOT ALONE. Support is so important and patience as well. We are blessed with these children. I love my 3 year old autistic son! I wouldn’t trade him even when I’m going through the storm or tornado and hurricanes I should say. He such a sweet lovable boy who I’m still figuring out! Thank you, thank you for sharing everything!
I cried the moment i hear your voice break. im so touched by your bravery to share this story. lot of love and hugs all the way from singapore to you
I am so impressed by the love you have for your child, a love which led you to leave no stone unturned in your efforts to help him. I know that's what Mother Love is all about, but to see Love in action really touches me... ❤️
Kathleen M. Carson thank you for your super sweet comment makes my day and makes it all worth while x
I understand your heart hurts from hearing the news but happy you got the diagnosis. Love your baby to pieces you will always be his safe haven ❤️
I’ve watched this video more times than I can count. I’m at the beginning of this journey. My son is 21 months old and just began showing signs of regression. I am still in the crying stage.. but I know he will be ok. Because I’ll move heaven and earth to see it through. Thank you for your candour 💜
My heart goes out to you and your family, Rayyan Mohamed. Do not vaccinate him anymore. Drinking camel milk daily can actually help your son to improve, as far as I have read previously. I would definitely try that. If you don't live in a country where you can buy it fresh, you can order Camel Milk Powder through Amazon. May Allah heal your son and bless and protect your whole family.
@Raya autism starts in the gut and spreads, later resulting in neurological showings. Heal the gut help the baby.
I just want to say thank you to you and other mothers of autistic children sharing on this platform. Your experience is so similar to what we've been going through with my 3 year old. Even had his hearing checked. He's slowly using more words, but the tantrums have been out of this world since he was 2. I understand the pain you feel, because I feel it too. Ir's not their fault, or our faults, and we try to not compare. I am a preschool teacher and my son was in my class prior to quarantine. It was so hard seeing him unable to interact with peers, or engage in things as a class. But this video is reminding my that I am not alone. And that I am not at fault, autism happens to anyone. The hardest is seeing him hurt himself out of frustration, even at 18 months old to see a baby trying to bash their head into the wall, it's heartbreaking as a mother. Luckily we've worked through those intense emotions.
Sending you so much love x
I can't even imagine how tough this is.
I had to literally pause for breath. And this was just a video!
May you have the strength!
Thank you so much .. you too .. you got this xox
Its so nice to watch something like this and to know there's other people out there that are going through the same thing my wife and I are going through. Its a journey that only can be understood when it's in your own home. Thankyou for sharing. I will definitely be following your channel.
Just starting to navigate this journey. Such a roller coaster already and I'm so thankful to have found your videos!
A M I know thsi is so hard and it’s a total roller coaster . Here if you need to chat x
Thank you for sharing your story. Brought me to tears. I love the bond you have with your son.
sending you a big hug x
This video just made me feel so much better about my daughter who is 4 ❤️ binge watching your videos as we speak 🙏🏼☺️
Charlene V 🥰 sending hugs to you and your daughter xox
This has helped me so much 🙏 my boy Aodhán is 5 with autism
This reminds me of my little boy❤️
I went through exactly the same and I felt the same as you. Now my son is almost 12 years old and we continue fighting to make his day to day easier
Thank you for uploading this. You’ve said the things I’ve kept in my head through this process and even though I still don’t feel like I’m secure about anything. Your words are exactly what I needed.
sending you a big hug
You create very heart felt videos and I have appreciated all of the ones I have watched so far. Thank you
thats so lovely to hear thank you x
I'm so happy you won't give up. I have struggled to have someone believe me my child has dyslexia. No one understands my pain.
I’m a single mom with a son on the Spectrum
This video is so helpful thank you for your story makes me feel not so alone
sometimes when you’re going through it you feel like no one has and it’s not true
Elsa N it can feel very lonely at times and that’s why I wanted to set up a channel where no one had to deal with this alone. Sending you love x
Your channel has helped me so much in just not feeling alone. My son was just recently diagnosed with Autism. Thank you for making these videos
I don't have children, but I just wanted to say you are such a strong and engaged mum. I don't know what it is like have a child with ASD, but what I do know is that you being an advocate for your sons health and wellbeing is really empowering to watch. So happy to see that you shared your journey with the world.
Thank you xox
I don’t have children yet but I watched this entire video. I now have a better understanding of autism and what you can look out for so thank you for this. You are doing such a great job as a mom because from those clips Dylan looks so healthy, happy and smart. God gives the toughest battles to his toughest soldiers.
Thank you for this! I feel as though everywhere must give newly diagnosed kids parents more info on what to do next or options. A pamphlet is not enough!
They do its crazy! let me tell you something that will change your world and here is a pamphlet so good luck! I just felt so alone in the whole process and I want to make sure that no one else has to feel the way I did . xox
He’s soo gorgeous. You are both doing a great job with Dylan. Thankyou for sharing your journey of love with him❣️
Thank you so much for this video. Has me in tears. My baby boy is 2½ and has level 3 autism and, this has given me much hope. Thank you 🥲
I can feel your pain because i'm in the same situation with my 5 year old autistic son, i'm 23 year old and you inspire me so much thank you for sharing your story.
Barbara Romain Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. Sending you a big hug you’re an amazing mamma
This is my story. Every step of your journey mirrors my own experience. My son is now 28 years old. I can relate to every single word.
You are so strong for making this video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I know it’s helping so many 💗 blessings to you and your family!!
Thank you for this, I need to give the Autism mum in my life WAY MORE support
I am on the spectrum. I stim, there are lots of foods I can’t eat as well as fabrics I can’t touch or wear . I’m a terrible sleeper in facts it’s the hardest part of having autism for me( because when I’m tired my symptoms worsen). I get overwhelmed in stores and large crowds. With that being said there is hope . I am a productive member of society. I have a full time job , a house a car . And I have raised two amazing daughters. Diet for me is huge I’m a vegan and try to eat Whole Foods . My symptoms are lessened when I eat well and when I have a strict routine.
Kym Robinson hey there! Wow thank you so much for reaching out and commenting. Your an inspiration! Your right diet can make a huge difference as I have noticed with my son. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing all of these detail. We are not quite sure where my son fits his symptoms are so mild and compounded by other medical problems.... and he is constantly changing. But i am his mom, i know who he is and will never stop fighting for the best for him.
Shara cy I’m sure with you by his side he will flourish 🥰. The hardest thing about having mild “ symptoms “. Is that people don’t know how hard the person is working on the inside . So that way the world can perceive them as mild . I just want to show the world as well as new parents that hearing their child has autism isn’t the end of the world . I’m sure your son is amazing 😊 and having a label doesn’t change that .
@@kymrobinson9589 I cannot thank you enough. All medical professionals have told me no or he is in the mild to no signs group or his famous diagnosis of Devolpmental Delay (he has mild hearing loss as well). Though a part of me was always afraid of him having any disability, through people like you I know we are going to be ok. I always thought i dont want anything to be "wrong" but the truth is I dont want him to live his life pretending to be something he is not... so I embrace his quirks when possible, follow up with ALL appointments, check ups, reviews but most importantly we embrace a new way of life that fosters his learning pattern and ensure he is confident, independent and happy.
Shara cy You are a Rock Star mom ❤️❤️❤️
My daughter was just diagnosed this week. Man your words were so true. Thank you for sharing.
thans so much for pouring yourself out in this video. im in the beginning of the journey and it encouraged me a lot to watch your story.
What a beautiful, heartfelt video. Thank you for sharing your experience and emotions so authentically.
le th that’s very kind of you thank you x
Crying my eyes out here.. thnx for this vid. I’m so scared, we have no answers yet. But you really calmed me down.
Anushka Milano everything will be ok I promise you. At the moment this is a scary time for you. But we are here to support you x
czcams.com/video/Jh6F4HsbNAQ/video.html
this was a great video!! thank you for sharing your story. our son has autism as well its amazing hearing other peoples stories. your son is amazing!
Thank you for sharing. It really help to hear stories about people who We can relate too in so many levels. My daughter is 3 years old, turning 4 in January. She recently was diagnosed with mild autism. She is going to speech therapy. We were in denial at first but learn to accept it and now figuring out how to get the best help for our child. Your videos are inspiring. I have learn so much from it. Thank u
I think you’re doing an amazing job. Your son is lucky to have such awesome parents❤️
Thank you for sharing your family’s story. It’s so helpful to me. Bless you.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's comforting to know that I am not the only mom out there that feels the same. My son is 3 an was just diagnosed an it has been a very ruff journey for us.
Nicole Vanterpool sending you love I know this is a hard journey always here if you want to chat x
Thank you for sharing this! I have two boys on the spectrum. It’s heartbreaking at times, but when those moments come about that you feel that solid connection there is NO BETTER FEELING IN THE WORLD
so true.. sending hugs x
This video is so beautiful. The home videos are just so precious!!
I'm crying. You're such an amazing and courageous mum , thank you for being such an example for any parent really xx
Thank you for sharing! My son is 7, he also has Autism. He’s truly a blessing but can be extremely challenging to deal with! It can be very frustrating when others don’t understand! ♥️ peace and love
Bless you, I have experienced the same journey with my daughter and your video made me cry as there is a lot of love in our household too X
I just wanted to say Thank you! My son is 3 in Dec, we are awaiting a diagnosis, everything you have said in this episode has meant so much. I realise we have a long road ahead and at times i'm at breaking point and feel very alone, other times I feel like i can take on the world to help him. We are doing play therapy and OT and supplements, my son's diet sadly is very limited - so diet is challenging, but I'm doing what I can to help him. I'm tuning in every Sunday now x Thank you
susie jones thank you for taking the time to comment. The food does get easier and it takes time. Be kind on your self xox
I just want to let you know that you both parents are amasing in parenthood.
Because most of us, as parents, don t think that our children have to have an especific education in order to develop their capacities.
The autism as a condition, on the other hand, has demonstrated how important and helpful is the fact that parents get involved in their children s education.
Beleive me, you may think that there is a lot to work getting to educate your boy, but your way is the right way to educate every children, despite any condition.
You did and sure, you are still doing great.
thank you my friend x
You give me hope....and I wish for this everyday for my son to attend university and who is also on the spectrum and being bullied in school for being different. God Bless him.....
Eve Darth Hi there this makes me so sad to hear this have you spoken to the school about perhaps doing an autism awareness Day where they can try and teach the difference in different children. I would have the highest hopes for your son he is going to be a great man to please do not give up hope big love to you
Very touching; keep up the good work. No matter what our children need to know how much we love them...and that shows clearly in your words and warm eyes. God bless your family.
Very well explained Tara, the key lesson that you conveyed in this video is the need to work 'with' your children rather than trying to change them to meet your model of communication and engagement - meet them on their terms and they will thrive and respond.
It’s gonna be ok. Big hugs for you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing, I am also going through a similar situation with my 19 month old son. Almost all the signs and symptoms you spoke about we are experiencing. Thank you for being so open, currently awaiting a diagnosis.
Sending love I know this part is really hard but he will get through it and you will feel happy again x
Thank you, my husband and I are currently binge watching your videos, so much good information and tips.... Really appreciate the content you share. 💕
wow watching this video has been perfectly timed for me and needed. thank you for being genuine and honest xxx
Sending so much love
Thank You! For sharing your amazing story!!! Its warming to see the child improvement too!!! My daughter, it started with her speech delay, and went from there, to speech therapy, occupational, and ABA!!! And...its been like I noticed a miracle within a year to 2 years, almost 3 now, she is my angel, and I hope your story will help so many who may need it!!!❤❤❤❤❤
sending you a big hug x
I feel so identified with you. You had all the questions and all the feelings I just started feeling.
I came here for potty training and I’m staying for the immediate calm I felt hearing your story I suddenly don’t feel alone.
I'm also 25 years old and recently had my first son (3 months old and a half) and he was born with vocal chord paralysis almost,he was 1 month at a children's hospital in NICU and was very hard since he is my first child .Wished all babies would born healthy and strong . Hugs to all the strong babies and Moms 🙏🙏blessings to ALL
God bless you ur baby..
Hi, another fellow parent with very similar story. Thank you for sharing your experience, these types of videos are so helpful to new Autism parents, including myself 10 years ago! I too was determined to build a connection that was not coming typically with my son as well. Building a bond through play is about the best way to break into their world. For me, I just did what he liked with him, even if I thought it was silly. His stems, like running in circles, stacking items, and lining things up were the first ways, and it worked! Also, when be started speech therapy, I was always right there involved and continued it when the therapist wasn't there! God bless you and your family!
This is lovely brought a tear to my eye , I have little luca who is currently under the pediatrician for autism and he has his test in a few months he is currently 20 months . We spotted signs pretty early on , mainly down to him having seizures. Its been a very stressful time for us as a family , same things you said lack of sleep ect . Mainly I just feel scared because I don't know what to expect, thankyou for sharing the video it has really helped . You little boy is beautiful 😍 xx
Hi my name is Simon , and I was diagnosed with autism only seven years ago , and I'm 54 years old . At first it would be very worrying and upsetting , but your son will do the things that are a topical to Autism . Anyway you are doing a great job with him . All the best . Simon
As an autistic adult who got a late diagnosis I really loved the valuable information you have shared.
Thank you so much for commenting x
Love you matt
This is such a tough matter and such a painful and hard mission for parents! Thank you for the info. Greetings from UK 🇬🇧
I'm glad I found this! Both video and comments are comforting. I just got confirmation Monday that my 12 year old has autism.
Ang D sending you love
Your baby is super cute! I hope the best for you and your family. Keep on going, it gets better with time.
thank you so much x
Great video. Thank you so much. You are helping a lot of mums in the same situation
Ada Solly Styling thank you.i just don’t want anyone to feel alone. I feel together we are stronger ❤️
thank you so much xx
After watching this I feel a little less alone. Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to read your book.
Corrine Hatcher ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your family's story. So much great information for others. So brave for showing your emotions during this journey. You and your husband are doing an amazing job loving your son.💖💖💖
Laura Luwho thank you so much. It’s not always easy to be so honest and raw but there are so many other parents in my situation and I really feel together we are stronger x
Absolutely! Knowing we are not alone on this journey and seeing how you worked through the different stages helps those like me who may just be starting. Blessings on your beautiful family and prayers for strength to keep being a light for others.
Oh my your story is similar to my son. All those emotions I felt after hearing the doctor tell me he has ASD, SPD was harder than the ADHD diagnosis. We has improved so much through diet, removing toxins from the home and through brain balance. I am truly grateful to see him no longer struggle with things he used. Before he stuttered and wouldn’t be able to finish a sentence, he would scream when things upset him or scared. He know longer does that and he will give me details about things and talk to family members! Good for you for giving him tools for a better life! My son screamed when he was 2 days old when I put him in the baby swing and after 3 days of trying it I gave up because he screamed when I would turn it on.
sending you love
I'm so here for this! Listening to this has made me feel Like I'm not crazy.

Children are amazing in all their fantastic variety. What a lucky Mummy to have this beautiful boy. Diagnosis just helps us know how to best meet their needs and find supports for us.
Thank you so much for your video's. My son was diagnosed with autism when he was 2, he is now 4 and we're still waiting for 'help' from specialists. Everyone treats him like it's some sort of disability and I just can't see it that way because he is so smart with some things that I don't care that he's not potty trained or doesn't talk yet. I see him doing other things way beyond his years and we have an amazing bond as well like you do with your children. After reading so many specialist books, none of it seemed to help but when I stumbled on your video's and tried some of the little tricks you've tried with your children I saw improvements almost instantly. Please keep it going, every child is different and it might not help everyone but you are definitely helping some.
Hi there thank you so much for your message. Don’t ever listen to anyone who says that your son can’t do things he might be a little bit slower than others but it’s a surprise smarter than them also. If you manage to get hold of my book I talk about everything you can do at home so you don’t need help from specialist because to be honest they don’t help much anyway you and your Child’s best teacher. From one Mama to another I’m sending you a huge hug and keep on going you’re doing amazing. X
