My 21 month old was diagnosed with autism on 12/13/17. I cried so bad. Not cause of him being diagnosed but cause the world we live in. He is such a sweet boy!
Cynthia Mans I've also just been told that my son may have autism, I feel like I'm currently going through a grieving process. My biggest worry is schooling, he's so innocent I just want to wrap him up in cotton wool and keep him at home!
Yes it is so sad the world we live in where kids are taught to be mean because others are different. That is also my biggest fear 😢
Cynthia Mans I so totally understand you on this. My son is turning 3 next month and he has autism. It's just a mean world we live in and I just wish I could protect him at all times. This is really my only fear for him is someone hurting him and since he's non verbal he won't be able to tell me.

I highly recommend the "Medical Medium" protocol, it reversed my nieces autism.
We are currently in the evaluation stage, I feel crazy and doubt myself all the time.
We've been working with the esu and it's been wonderful, my daughter has.made leaps and bounds.
Thank you for putting yourself out there for others to learn and understand 💙
I’m also dealing with this . My two year is absolutely brilliant and so amazing. But there is no dialogue. I’m dealing with this as well . My son was also late for everything as well . Thank you for the video it actually really helps . I feel like I’m not alone in struggles to understand what I’m dealing with .
Thank you for video.
Mam how is he now ??
What people need to realize also is that autism may be widely over-diagnosed as well as diagnosed too early. Being a late talker is fine, I feel like that’s what concerns a lot of doctors. Particularly young doctors. Elderly doctors who have been practicing for 30, 40 years or more have seen a much wider variety of kids and aren’t going to scare you unnecessarily. I’ve noticed a lot of newer teachers and people in the school system will unnecessarily scare moms too. My kindergarten teacher told my mom she thought my motor skills weren’t good because of the way I held crayons and wrote or drew and that I may have to be held back. She didn’t hold me back and I grew to be a kid and adult with beautiful penmanship. Kids aren’t all carbon copies of one another. Do not label incorrectly, and especially with autism do not label too young. They used to diagnose around 5, now they start at 18 months and it’s not a good thing IMO.
Hi
The reason it is diagnosed as early as possible is because the earlier the intervention the better the outcome. If your child is diagnosed at 2 with Autism and is receiving treatment he or she is not going to be hurt by this treatment if they are not Autistic. My grandson is autistic, the symptoms are very clear. There is a difference between a speech delay and autism. My grandson says "hey" that's it, he is 2. He has said hush and fish and juice. Never at the same time and he has not said them in months. I would rather he be misdiagnosed with autism early and later discover it was only developmental delays than to miss out on those extremely important early years of therapy. IMHO
@@teresalambert5154 Here, here. My son is two and clearly has mild autism. Yes he has very delayed speech and largely just babbling but thats not even the half of it. His nursery are specially trained and are being tremendous. Early detection is everything!!
Being concerned about autism red flags is SO much more than just being delayed in talking.
Actually it’s wayyyy underdiagnosed
You're little babies are lucky to have you.
My daughter just found out she is on the spectrum by her University psychologist (she's been suffering with panic attacks/meltdowns for many years), but so many of the things you've described, were things my daughter did as a toddler & child, and I had no idea! She's always been super picky, all of her food had to be separated, a Daredevil and if you told her you were gonna do something you had to do it right away and "the right way" or she would throw a fit. She is super intelligent, always has been in Honor classes...etc, but she has many sensory issues, like she doesn't like fans, or the windows rolled down in cars, loud noises or music or change of ANY kind. Thanks for sharing and taking me down memory lane. I have a greater appreciation for all her little quirks now than I use to, lol.
Congratulations on your pregnancy & well done delivering such an informative video from a very clear place of love. Sharing your concerns and linking them to your personal knowledge and understanding of autism was highly informative and educational.
I'm so glad you made this video. I just found you and I'm having my son accessed tomorrow.
How did it go?
Everything you're saying is so my son Baer. He is a twin. My other two children are super advanced and Baer has had speech regression, no non-verbal communication etc. no one in my family will listen to me about what I'm seeing/feeling. Thank you for being so courageous and making this video. I feel validated. Sending love and happy thoughts to you and your babes! Xox
I'd do just about anything to talk to you for just a short time. I honestly cannot believe how similar our boys are behaving. My mom is totally supportive, but probably because she's an award winning teacher with a master's in elementary education. The problem is, I live in Milwaukee now and my mom is in Arizona. The family here just thinks I'm an alarmist, or something. With three babies almost the same age, all alone, I'm totally overwhelmed. Thank you again. My number is a California number because we moved here from NorCal. 707-779-9942 seriously, I pray you get a min to call, or text. Jessica Lane Warren
I'm going through the same. My boyfriend thinks I'm being dramatic.
Your younger
son sounds exactly like my two year old son (obsessed with cars, wheels particularly). We had our first mention yesterday of Autism from our speech therapist. Thank you so much for making this video.
This sounds like a carbon copy of my son. He is now 21 and going to Oxford University. He has always been quirky and atypical but I wasn’t interested in a diagnosis by some half baked specimen. My son has a girlfriend and tons of friends. He likes his routines but he’s an intellectual, maybe your child is too!!! Don’t be too quick to worry and judge.
I agree. This is my son's story too and he WAS diagnosed. He is now earning his MBA and in a happy relationship. Yes, he has some quirks, but nothing any of us would want to change about him (including him).
This was a very helpful comment. My son will go to his first screening on April 5th and I'm terrified.
I cried reading your comment, my son is 2 yrs old and recently diagnosed. I’m soooo scared. Your comment has given me hope.
Were you delayed in speech as a toddler? If you don't mind me asking, sorry! My daughter is 21 months old and she isn't talking at all. I'm waiting for the referral to go through to get her evaluated.
@@TheOnlyMsMissee dont get terrified he will outgrow all the signs i was exactly in the sane situation 8 months ago with my daughter i worried myself sick and now she is doing really good she still has some speech delays but she defenetly uses words to ask for everything she wants... Dont worry dont worry ... Recieve my positive thoughts and dont read too much in the internet❤❤❤
My 4 year old has been recently diagnosed with autism the area I live in is horrible he is just about to start pre k and my 2 year old will be getting evaluated as well this video helped me a lot knowing there are moms who are facing smilier things thank you
Thank you for posting this. I'm having my suspicions about my son. He's almost 22 months old, and I've had concerns for a few months now. This really helped me.
Thank you for sharing, this video is very helpful & I’m sure not not the easiest to create. But truly there aren’t enough videos of information out there & this made me feel less alone.
I’m going thru the beginning stages of evaluation and it’s definitely extremely hard and I can’t help but feel guilty for some reason. This video really helped so thank you. ❤️
It's such a struggle not knowing what they want isn't it. My two year old is half way through his assessment and is pretty much the same as lex, though Jackson is slowly getting better at tolerating other children. I wish you the best of luck with your journey
-congrats on your baby by the way-
Speaking: sounds like it could also be mentally challenged. The non verbal communication is a solid sign though, I still have issues with body language and I’m 18.
Social regression: Yes, waving but not able to really “play” or interact. I suppose it could be introversion too, but that is generally a solid sign.
Falling/apathy to getting hurt: Yeah that’s always happened to me too.
Sensory: like sensory overload issues? I usually do the sort of taking a break method when I get overstimmed.
Routine: Yeah, my mom though it was OCD for a while because of my dependency on routine. Especially my morning and nightly routines.
Swaddled/Rocked: Yeah I typically don’t like being touched either. It is typically a sign of autism.
Food Touching: Never has an issue with that, but a sectioned plate might be a good idea.
Sleep issues: I take melatonin every day at 8:00pm. Natural, not dangerous, good to use.
- I like your cat -
Toys: Usually there’s an element of fixation to autism, so that could explain that.
House stuff: yeh because it’s fun to organize and set up.
Biting: Yeah with me it was violent shaking instead. Mom thought I was seizing. Sensory relief type thing.
Teeth grinding: Yeah I got that. Dunno if it’s because of autism but it’s there.
Cruelty to animals: Never seen that before, I admit. I’m more on the side of loving them, like your youngest. They’re easier to bond with than people.
Bonding: Again, humans are difficult to bond with. Overwhelming.
TV: I get fixated. Watching only something you’re interested in usually ties into the fixation thing.
Development/Mentality: Mines all over the place. Sensory board sounds like a good idea by the way.
Eye contact: That can manifest in different ways. Usually social.
Escaping: haha yeh... I was a menace child. I’d suggest maybe a fence?
Love your videos cause I dont feel alone. Preston my 6 yr old autistic son was seen by dr Childers and he is awesome. I love your enthusiasm and the dr told me that the reason of the bitting and pintching is he is angry he can’t vocalize what he is feeling. Wish you the best of luck and you are a hero
My 2.5 year old daughter has many of these same red flags. She's currently seeing a paediatrician who recommended we have her tested for autism. She makes great eye contact and loves other kids, but Doc says girls are naturally more social than boys, which is why she might be an "unusual case." No sensory issues either or behaviour problems, apart from LOTS of tantrums due to her frustration from not being able to communicate her needs to us. It's such a confusing time..On the one hand, she is the spitting image of my husband, who was also a very late developer and didn't talk until he was 3: but on the other hand I'm puzzled as to her lack of pointing (even though she enjoys coping the behaviour and actions of others). I wish you all the best.. you are certainly not alone in your journey xx.
Did your daughter start talking
I have 3 kids, our youngest has also autism. I noticed he was different around the age of 2. He got diagnosed when he was 3 years old. It's been really hard to raise him; He's not eating, he eats only bread and sometimes a little piece of meat. He would not go to sleep, he needs constantly my attention, has difficulties to make friends, he didn't talk till the age of 4 .... He's almost 8 years old now, I'm really happy he is getting older and he's getting more independent. Putting on his clothes is still difficult, eating is a disaster and he still sleeps only 5 hours at night. At school he's doing great, his grades are fantastic and he's a truly math wonder. I can't say it gets better when they grow older, but it's different, in a positive way. I hated the screaming and the noises he made when he was a toddler.
I’m not autistic but when I was 3 I didn’t spoke but rather just made sounds or pointed at stuff I wanted.
At what age did you speak?
This sounds like my son. My family doctor isn't concerned but I am. Thanks so much for making this video.
me too!!! ):
My 20 mth old is delayed in speech and also doesn't point or bring me his cup, but if I ask him "Are you thirsty? Do you want a drink?" He will Nod and now (just started the last few days!!!!!) will Sign "please". He also signs More, and Eat! I think Baby sign is super important to use with any baby or toddler!
Very exact thing here.
Have boy/girl twins..and my son is the one exhibiting these type of symptoms..I swear u describing ur son sounds sooo much like my son..we're currently in speech therapy but I so appreciate coming across this video..its helped me truly
My 21 month old daughter does all of the things you mentioned except the food, she eats any and everything. Were talki,g to her pediatrician Friday and get a referral for screening.
My 3 year old is doing a lot of echolalia. She repeats the last 2-3 words I say. She does use her vocabulary to express herself but doesnt speak in full sentences. Shes barely starting to put 2 words together with some simple 3 worded phrases like "where you going". She used to stim a lot with hand flapping, she would also make a funny face while doing it kinda like😲 but I noticed with a diet change GFCF with no sugary foods other than fruit, she's almost totally stopped. She still does tiptoe walking but her neurologist said that doesn't mean anything. So I guess. I'm taking her back for a reevaluation for ASD..we'll see what happens.
Lizaette Mata how is she now please let me know my baby doing tiptoe and hand flapping when he’s happy or when he’s dancing
My son didn't really show any signs either he started walking at 13 months but was on target w everything else. He acknowledged his name, had good eye contact, was very go w the flow.
Hi there, i hope you reply my comment tho, I know its an old comment but still 😅, so when did u find out that ur son has autism? Im a new mom, and I have just been so worried about everything
He sounds just like our Ella - she is on the spectrum but she went into ABA full time and it has been a blessing she's thriving talking fully potty trained and turning 5 this year she was diagnosed last year 💙
Our LANDing Crew I think the same about Ella but we were right at the cusp of early intervention making a difference and Lex is the perfect age for it ! We are Florida locals we actually used to live in Jacksonville but we are back locally I'm New Smyrna Beach- please look into JSA (Jacksonville school for autism ) I've heard nothing but wonderful things about them as far as there ABA services I think both the boys could probably benefit! You're doing awesome and handling this all like a true warrior mama 💙💙💙
Our LANDing Crew our daughter is in an autism school through her health insurance! Good luck ❤️
Our LANDing Crew look into CMS it's under Florida kid care we pay 15 dollars a month and it's insurance for special needs children it's affordable and amazing for therapies !

Daniel needed it dad chose beers over Aba today our son is on Drugs now I used photo cards all over his
Room until he could Read
Today my sons peers are all on Drugs and they was all in Se classes
My son is 2 1/2 and we are almost positive he has autism, he's already in speech and occupational therapy but we are waiting on his final developmental evaluation. Thank you for these videos! Really appreciate all the info and your positive attitude. :)
Our LANDing Crew I hope it goes well for you guys and you get that referral!
How did it go?
I know this is an old video, but just wanted to give you some words of encouragement. It must have been really hard to make this video, and I'm sure you're thinking that some of the things are 'just toddler stuff' and not sure if they should be mentioned. I know as moms we are so hard on ourselves and it's refreshing to somebody (you) get on here and be so authentic and sincere. :)
Your family is beautiful and you seem to be a very strong woman. Super mom over there ❤
I stumbled upon your video because I'm debating asking my pediatrician if I should get my 24 month old evaluated. He just started daycare a month ago, and they called to tell me they speech screened him and they think he needs speech therapy, that he doesn't follow direction well, doesn't know enough body parts, and knows what his shoes are but not his pants or shirt. He has somewhere between 30-50 words, but doesn't use them all consistently and the only two words he'll string together are "thank you" "all done" "night night" and "bye bye". He does follow directions for me at home most of the time. Like if I ask him to throw something away, or to go get his shoes, he usually does it. And he has never showed any of the other typical signs of autism. He has great eye contact, loves giving hugs and kisses, doesn't get fixated on any particular objects, no sensory issues, plays well with other kids, and was an early crawler and walker. But he does that hug bite thing you talked about and arm squeezing, he seems to have a really high pain tolerance too (today he fell and scraped his finger and lip and the were both bleeding a little and he didn't cry), and half the time if I point at something he only looks at my finger. I'm 100% sure that he is speech delayed...but I'm hoping it's just because I haven't really been working with him the past 6 months. I was in and out of the hospital while I was pregnant with my daughter, continued to be in the hospital with her until she passed away in October, then was focused on the funeral, followed by us moving, then me going back to school/work that has me busy 60 hours a week. So needless to say, I haven't had as much time with him, and he hasn't had as much social interaction as I'd have liked. He is also a wild child and looses focus easily. My husband/his dad was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. So I'm wondering if maybe it passed on to our son and the lack of focus contributed to his speech delay. Do you think it's worth having him evaluated? Or just a normal "he fell behind" situation? After loosing my daughter, I am constantly anxious and worrying myself sick about my son...so sorry if I just come off as a paranoid crazy person.
Sounds a lot like my nephew thanls so much for spreading much needed experience amd education for autism
My now 2 year old as of yesterday, only says ‘Dada’ randomly but she’ll say bye when someone walks out the door. She said Mama for maybe a month but she never says it anymore. Other than that it’s just babbling and screaming all day and night. When you talk to her she seems to understand commands with no problem. She’s never pointed at anything. It’s starting to worry us because the other 4 kids didn’t have any issues growing up.
I just stumbled upon this video on my suggestions, and it’s always nice to find other mommies of child on the spectrum. My son is almost 3 and got diagnosed around 2.5years old. We are from japan and live in Tokyo and the support system here is so bad compared to US or Europe. I taught myself more on my son’s autism through US families than with the team of doctors that sees him once every X months. Japanese Kindergartens do not accept special needs kids and we don’t have the money to go private or pay a nanny, so I cant go back to work since I am 24/7 caring for him. They start the whole therapy process only from 3 years old so we will finally have proper things to help from April.
Everything you said sounds familiar to my little boy. The food issue is the most difficult here, he has severe texture/sensory issues and same as you said with Alexander, the routine with food.. always the same plate, same food, same temperature, same seasonings, same cutting patterns, etc. He never ate baby food, can’t tolerate soft/mashed foods. Also, like Alexander, my son is a very smart kids, and is actually advanced in some things. Also he doesn’t get social clues, and he is always so gentle and nice because he doesn’t “get” meanness. He’s the nicest little boy I know and I am thankful for that aspect of him.
I respect and admire you for keeping up with Noah and Alexander! It was a struggle to have my son Sho as I have PCOS with severe infertility (no ovulation/menstruation etc.) so we went from battles to battles, a traumatic birth experience and now autism, i have mental and physical health issues as well so I just gave up the idea of having another child. I wouldn’t be strong enough to cope with Sho and his autism and another baby with or without any special need. The lack of support in Japan is what kills me the most.
You seem like an amazing mom!!
Alyssa Matsuda I’m also an autism mom! 💙
Wow.i live in Japan too and had worries about my son and took him to a doctor when he was two because he did not have speech at all.. doctor told me they cant make a diagnosis until his 3. He's about 3 and 4months now.he is starting with 2 words sentences.. sometimes I feel like he's ok and sometimes I feel like he does have autism,I'm just not sure of what to do because I don't speak Japanese and don't know what to do. My worry is his speech delay and frustration and anger over small things.please share information about your son's in Japan.thanks
Aisha badbess oh mommy :( first, what I have learn the hard way is that you have to push and fight to be heard by doctors here. Where do you live? If you are in Tokyo, there are centers for kids with developmental delays for every ward, but you need to have a pediatrician or pediatric psychologist to refer you to that place. The developmental delay center (hattatsu shogai center) will have an interview with you and your son, for one hour to one hour and half and they will decide if they can take your son or not. If you are accepted, you have therapy sessions, every now and then depending of the troubles your son has. We have speech therapy, sports therapy, game therapy, socialization etc.
It is all free and offered by the government. Do you have any one who could help you to talk with a doctor in Japanese? I am fluent so I did everything myself from the beginning. But, having speech delay and autism is two different things not necessarily related. Is your son social? Is he going to daycare or does he have friends? Any feeding issues? Panic attacks or unmanageable “tantrums”?
Also, the most important question is, did you go to the growth check ups? You know, you have follow up check ups at 1 months old, 3 months old, 6 months old, 1yo, 18 months old and 2yo. We went at each and I started talking about my son being different from the 2nd check up, but doctors kept telling me I was overthinking and that each baby had their rhythm. Finally at the 18months old check up they told me that they thought something was off. It’s like winning the lottery because when the child specialists themselves think something is wrong then you don’t have to fight anymore and you feel finally heard. If you have any question, please don’t hesitate!
Alyssa Matsuda oh thank you so much..my son is social he goes to a hoekoen and the teachers haven't said anything different from him.i think maybe it's language delay and removes frustration because he cant be understood sometimes I live in kanagawa fujisawa ,with feeding he eats well but somethngs like chocolate and milk he wouldn't try because of the way it looks.he does point he does ask if he needs something and also is potty trained now.

These comments were supportive, stay strong and positive you guys.
My daughter is getting referrals this Friday which is her second birthday, to be evaluated. She has some of the same red flags as your son. I see it and her daddy doesn't want a lable put on her. I just want to help her in any way. She's had ot therapy for at least 4 months. She was getting speech therapy but, they felt she wasn't ready. Its hard you just want the best for your child.
Kerri Willis I don’t like labels either. Maybe address the behaviors without using labels. Channel the positives. As someone said here, a lot of ppl who did great things may have had some kind of spectrum.
That's what I keep telling my wife. labels don't mean a thing. What matters is your child keeps making progress and you can help your child as much as you can. Our son was noticed to have "delays" at 18 month pediatrician appointment, and at 20 months he was evaluated for early childhood intervention. He was almost nonverbal up to 22-24 months. He fortunately had a word explosion at about 24-26 months, and they didn't even think he was ready for speech therapy due to developmental milestones.
@@hengineer is there a specific doc that will diagnose toddlers? Or would i have to see their pediatrician first? I spoke with her about my twin boys not speaking yet and she told me not to worry about it, that they'll start on their own. Their almost 3 now in september and still not speaking.
@@JDMNicanGirlSwagg i have twin boys too and they are 19 months old. And not talking yet. One of them says "mama....baba..". and the other one just jabbering. I only noticed that... speech delay. They are smart. Do what I do and perfect eye contact, play together... understand commands and do it. And sleep very good. 15 hrs every day. 12 hrs through the night and still take 2 naps... 1.5 hrs each nap. And eat so good and healthy. But as their mom,, I am worried and I and my husband agreed to take an early childhood intervention to help them both.
@@angelcummings4513 i wouldn't be too worried. They sound fine to me but it wouldn't hurt to take them, it'll only help them. Better now than later too.
I have a 5 year old boy who was diagnosed in 2015 I also have two younger brothers who are on the spectrum when my son first got diagnosed I felt so so so guilty like as I gave it to him now a few years later I still struggle with that but not as much as I used to my son is doing great and very intelligent now me and my husband are considering having another baby I just wanted to say thank you for your juniors because they had gave me great insight having another baby and showed me that I am definitely strong enough have another child with special needs if that were to happen love watching your videos
When are your kids bdays so I can send them stuff ☺️ I love your family. You guys are so realistic and real with us viewers ❤️
im from tampa bay too! my son 2 yrs & 4 months..he is already in early steps program so far tested very low on the Battele Developmental 1.were waiting for official testing 1 month from now...he is not eating solids at all.not talking only babbles. meltdowns are a norm around here...speech interventionists come 2x a week. its been helping.he doesnt bang his head as much thank God!.but its LOTS of work..wasnt ready for this😰
New Subscriber found your channel i hope I can learn more about Atusim my 2yr
old hasn't been diagnosed but is showing signs but she has an appointment to get tested
How is your baby now please let me know my baby has a lot of signs and I am very scared
Ebtehal Al Ebady
Same. I'm waiting for the referral to go through to get the evaluation
you and me BOTH 😣
I don’t know how I even missed this video? Apparently I made it through half of it and meant to return but you know...life.
Kenzlee has said a lot of words once and then never again. My other two kids did not do that. Kaden was delayed with speech and Jaelee never spoke until she was 3. Kenzlee always babbled and she said Mickey Mouse as clear as day at 9 months old. Never said it again. She did that also with Momma and Dada, although now she’s able to say Mom Dad because of scripting her favorite shows but she does apply it correctly. When she was 2 (jaelee also) they struggled with communication so there were lots of screams and grunts. Every kid is so different. It’s like you think you really know autism and then it looks so different from child to child.
And girl - quit playing with your hair and hands! 😂😂😂 Love you steph!
Our LANDing Crew oh my gosh no way!! Lol and your kids are just as beautiful and amazing!! 💙💙💙
You look like debby Ryan, your lips.(that's a good thing btw) I have hip dysplasia, i had a brace at 3 to like 5. My name is Olivia and i got it from the resilience of a olive tree from the bible so the way I came into the world is like "hey i am tough" so when i need a pick me up i remind myself that, im 15 and my asthma is basically gone unless im sick.
Some of what you are talking about is typical toddler behavior! Heck, I probably didn't sleep through the night til I was three! But I am not a doctor and I can't tell you what's going on! You have to figure it out for yourself! I know plenty of people with autism who have been successful in life! Autism doesn't mean not smart, it just means different! One more question, if you will...you said Noah has an intellectual disability, how do you compare the symptoms of autism with the intellectual disability? Intellectual disability usually is identified by IQ! Autism is identified by an autism evaluation! I guess what I am saying is what is the difference between autism and intellectual disability! Thanks for sharing! Hope Liam gets the help he needs!
My youngest son had 2 evals before he was diagnosed. My eldest showed many classic signs where my youngest was and still is a lot more subtle. He had his first at 15 months and we started EI at that point without a diagnosis. His second was at 2.5 years old and he was diagnosed at that appointment. Both of my boys are non verbal at 3 and 4 years old now. It was harder for me to see my youngest signs. I knew he wasn't speaking and was delayed but sometimes you choose not to see the signs that are right in front of you.
How are you sons doing now?
Abigail has the same exact thing. She will say a word and then never say it again. I have also noticed your 2 year old makes the same sounds as Abigail. The screams and the noises. She also can't say that she's hungry or thirsty and she can't point or ask for what she wants and at this age, they should be able to communicate their needs. I have missed a lot of videos, but when was the first evaluation for him? We're getting Abigail evaluated right now. All kids on the spectrum are different. At 1, Zeb was able to hold up one finger and tell us he's one, and he couldn't really say words until he was three, but he was babbling like a mad man ALL the time. Abigail is hardly babbling, just grunting, noises, and screaming. None of the kids have ever had an eating issue. They love everything (thank the Lord!) Abigail is completely different than Rafael. Congrats on your new baby!
FoolyLiving hi Andrea I watch your vlogs. Hopefully they see abi soon and you can get the results back relatively fast xx
FoolyLiving My son is 18 months and I do not necessarily suspect autism, but I am concerned about his speech. He has lost words or their clear pronunciation. (For example, he used to say "quack quack" very clearly and now it is hardly understandable). He babbles CONSTANTLY though. He talks all day, but he doesn't typically use words to communicate his needs. Although he will sometimes ask for "snack" or "bath" or "baby" (his stuffed baby comfort item). The lack of verbal requests somewhat concern me, I guess. I was an ABA therapist for 7 years, so I know autism well, but it is so different when you're internally "evaluating" your own child, as I'm sure you know. I am subscribed to your channel and I love watching your family blogs. Rafael and Abigail are just precious!! So fun to watch them interact and develop. You need to write a book of the funny things Rafael says. :)

My 2 and a half yr old daughter is the same.
FoolyLiving your child sound like mine. He does have outburst a Lot more. He will say 12 and 3 sometimes. Papa for food. He sticks his tongue out when we do. But then he will stop certain things. He's 3 in the process of being evaluated. Oh he does lead me to things he wants but gets mixed up to what he wants. Unless he knows for sure what he wants.
Thank you for all the information and experience. My son is 26 months old and I’m at this point where I’m starting to believe he might be in the spectrum. I haven’t found the right doctors or help. So sad and frustrated. So here’s some signs of my son:
-no talking, no two word sentences
Only words he made up. We had heard him say some real words but he never said them again. He has never call me “mom” 😔..
-he only eats a very narrow variety of foods (cheese but ONLY shredded, granola bars, gold fish, and sometimes bananas and oranges) that’s it! When we try to put other stuff in his mouth he gags.
-doesn’t play with toys, only if the move by itself like remote cars, he loves wheels too. His favorite toy was a plastic cup! He will crawl and chase it. Then he was into Roomba robot. And flags, he has so many flags, he points at them at street, he wants to touch the poles, he just loves them.
-he is social, he waves, he makes eye contact, he likes to be hugged and kissed. He loves animals, he is so sweet.... but when he is upset he will throw whatever he has (pacifier, cup,car,etc)
- He crawled late but not much, he just did it for a month and then he walked. Physically he is very skilled, he jumps, walk backwards, run, he never falls. But overall he looks mentally kind of behind on “learning/playing” skills. Like putting figures on boxes, or stacking rings etc.
Hello, I have a 24 month old daughter in a very similar situation
How did it go with your son?
@@berlindaasman7609 hi! Present time, he’ll be 4 in a couple of weeks. After the 3 years old mark he began to talk, now he talks very well, he can fully communicate and tells us what he thinks or likes or needs. He is more interested in other toys and tv shows (like any kid). He continues to be very skilled physically, he’s still fascinated by wheels and big engines, loves helicopters and cranes. I say he developed “normally”…Our only struggle continues to be the food. He was diagnosed a year ago with ARFID, his diet is very restricted, he stop eating things he ate and added new ones but until this day, he has never eat any kind of meat. So we provide him with vitamins and formula. We are also struggling with potty training, he knows how but resists to.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!!! This is IDENTICAL to my situation! The only difference is I brought it up to his doctors. But they’ve agreed.
Thank you doc for your good work
It’s been months now and my child has improved completely since using your herbs.
His therapist and school teacher has confirmed his improvement and this makes me happy
God bless you Dr Oyalo
Your child may be a gifted introvert. Children who are introverts don't see the need to play with others. They like their own world and he may respond to sign language well. Have you thought about Montessori classes for him?
Just found your channel, because my son was just diagnosed.... hoping watching your family can help me adjust to my new normal 💗
Thank you for this video! My son is the same way it’s been so depressing because I feel like we’re being judged whenever hes around kids the same age as him and there’s no other families that I can talk to who can relate to what we’re going through it’s pretty lonely.
Wow,My. First to watch you.You covered. So much.The comparing of what my grandson is going through is amazing.You hit the nail on the head.Jordan will be 2 on Feb 20,2021.We have an agency started about 2 weeks.Jordan will have a evaluation.In a week or to. two.I really will continue to watch you .Keep you updated. Hope you can see this.THANK YOU.
Just loved watching this 💖 my daughter is nearly two! She was doing so well. Saying lots of words. Then when her baby sister was born she kind of stopped. I don't think she is autistic but it still worries me. :/ but she gets along with others and all that. I might just be too worried
I'm wondering the same about my daughter. She turned 2 a month ago and she isn't talking. She mumbles like she is talking but its baby talk. I hope your child is healthy and I hope the same for mine. It makes me sad to watch these videos about autism because I just want her to be normal and happy and I feel bad.
My son is in the midst of getting his diagnoses and this video really helps. Thank you

I think my precious grandson is on the autism spectrum. He is very sweet and loving and gives the best hugs. He will be 2 very soon but is completely non-verbal other than saying da-da for everything even babbling. He doesn't point when he wants something but has been known to bite his mother once and has pinched us both multiple times before. He used to get so frustrated and angry he would literally shake. He still does just not as often. He stems with his hands and occasionally hand flaps and walks on his toes when running. It is very difficult traveling with him in a car more than twenty minutes or he starts to go into meltdown mode. I suspect additional sensory and auditory issues as well. I love him and will help him no matter what whenever and however I can. His testing begins soon.
Sign language is the way to go! For any and every one! I wish we did more. Now as a doctor I am learning how to sign.
I love your channel! I’m also a disabled CZcamsr and your channel is such a real insight into life. Keep it up guys! ❤️
Your video was very informative. My son just turned 2 and the only word he says is dog. I’m seeing so many signs,,but when I bring it up to his grandparents they say he’s fine. I just feel that something is going on with him,so I made an appointment for an evaluation.
Thank you for this information I have a daughter that is 1yr and 8 months and I’m not sure if she has autism so this video helped a lot to know the symptoms. And what to look out for
My daughter is 21 months old, and is getting evaluated for autism in September. I recognized so much of what you said. Not going to bring up everything here, but she is not talking at all. The few words she did know are gone. She doesn't have any interest in playing with other kids, she kinda does her own little thing. Whether it's autism or not, we just want her to be happy ❤️
How is she doing now??
Just found your channel! My 2 and a half year old is getting evaluated for Autism. She shows a lot of the signs. I hope I can learn more!
Thank you for this, sharing with a friend.
My 7yo daughter is on the Autism Spectrum with sensory issues, as am I (35yo, Finally fully realizing it after many years of thinking about it studying it)
The word usage of things like "High risk" needs to Not be used... the language used when describing a child regarding Autism or for anything is key!
Focussing on Positive vocabulary is essential!
Otherwise, thank you for the info and sending Love to you, plz forgive my communication inadequacies
I have Aspergers and also was born with hip dysplasia in both hips...It may be a medical problem to be looked for in Autistic kids.It affected my crawling, walking deadlines...& also affected my balance as i got older even after being somewhat corrected as an infant.I had half body cast and metal bar with baby shoes on it that were adjusted to turn feet to correct positions as hips healed. I was in the cast for 6 months... As a child, teen, adult i had no coordination to ride bike, skate, ski or any sports. I could ride horses as it did not need the type of pedaling/balance that biking uses.Luckily i had verbal skills intact and high IQ to help me cope in life...though panic attacks and social phobia was intense in childhood.
My girl has got me worried sick. She doesn't talk at all. Nothing- nada. She babbles and that's it. She understands some commands like 'give me a cuddle, give me a kiss, go to daddy' but her listening skills are shocking. She will sit and listen to a story, engage by trying to feed you or put her peppa pig mask on....but the speech thing is worrying me sick! We've been referred...hopefully we get answers soon... good luck with Noah- i wish you the best ❤
My son is like this too. We are in the middle of diagnosis. He is well engaged in play, eye contact, plays with others and tries to communicate, he points and babbles but he does not talk. We are raising him bilinual though so this could be he problem. He is a bit disperse though. There is so much concern and info out there it is overwhelming and we can't keep from thinking our children might have an issue. Good luck wih your child
It could be be that she just has a speech delay and speech therapy helps that a lot.
How old is she
My son didn’t speak until 2 and a half .. pushing 3. He doesn’t have autism and he speaks perfectly now at 5. She may just be a late talker, his doctor suggested that he maybe didn’t want to talk until he felt his words were clear enough to understand because he likes things to be right and that’s just part of his personality.
My nephew was also growing up bilingual and didn’t speak until 5. His mother took him to the doctor several times trying to figure out why and he was because he didn’t know what to speak. He’s now 10 and can speak English and knows Spanish as well and he is not on the spectrum either
Your a freaking warrior !!
I love the first video, I just subbed to your channel, looking forward to watching more
Thank you so much for making this video I have a 2 year son who’s delayed on speech some people that I know have told me I should get a screening for autism for him which I did but since this pandemic we had to zoom for the screening they ruled him as not autistic but my moms mother law is so sure of herself that he as autism here’s are some of the things he does : he doesn’t talk at all but he does grunt when he wants something and he does babble he points to what he wants or gives it to me in my hand or grabs my hand and takes me to the thing he wants. He likes to grab things he isn’t supposed to grab and throws it to the ground sometimes idk if it’s cause he likes doing it or he wants to see the stuff break (we have wood flooring threw out the house) he does this with cups with water or juice inside He has a bad temper he throws whatever he can reach when he’s mad he likes playing with other kids and his big sister he doesn’t respond to his name sometimes but he makes these movements and faces like he knows I’m calling him he just don’t want to look at me . Also when I tell him to do something like pick up your toys he doesn’t listen and ignores me so yeah that’s just certain things I notice that he does
First time viewer ! But omg thank you so much for this video helped a lot. My 2 yr old son has some of the same stuff as yours. He hasn’t been been diagnosed or anything🙏🏼
Andrea Cobian has your son been diagnosed?
All of these behaviors sound really normal for a toddler.
Yes one or 2 traits it’s probably just normal toddler things but the diagnosis comes in when a child has many of these traits
My 2 yr old is having similar problems. He does not speak at all, he won't eat anything but liquid baby food, he won't take a sippy only bottle, he won't play with any of his toys, the closest thing to playing he will do is spin the tires on his toys over and over, he will not have anything to do with anyone besides me or his dad, the list goes on. I could really use some advice from parents going thru similar problems.
it gets very hard especially when your spouse is in denial!😡
MsHermes35 I feel you. My 18 month old is showing all the signs of autism. He is complete denial and gets defensive even though he admits that he knows there’s something not ‘quite right’
Paula Smith hang in there. My husband now is starting to accept it. We finally got diagnosed so he heard it from the experts mouths!!! After fighting yelling and crying he has accepted it. I had to give him the ultimatum. Your either with me or without me i told him! cuz this is the biggest challenge life has yet to ask of me as a mother so let me know if you wanna be a part of it or not! But the dads def need their time to let it all soak in.it takes time...
MsHermes35 thank you! He’s getting better but as soon as I say she’s maybe walking on her tippy toes much more than she did he’s like no she isn’t. 🤷🏼♀️ I think he thinks I want her to have autism which is not the case but there are far worse things she could have! Glad your hubby is getting better at accepting it.

I sympathize with this, my husband refuses to admit anything and fights me along the way with everything.
This was really helpful. I have a 2 year old most likely on the spectrum. My son shows so many of the same signs as your son.
Thank you for sharing and your honesty.
Hi my daughter is 2 and a half she doesn't point clap wave or talk only mum dad but not in context I'm waiting for an appointment for the CDC and have started her in preschool and now taking sign language classes thanks to the school I have known for a long time she is very different but everyone said she was to young but everyone that meats her now knows just wish we could get as much support in UK as u guys seem to get thanks so much for your post xx
You are a very courageous young lady.
My son is now 2 &5 months and he would always rock and beat his head I mean from the time he was born he would rock!! After he could sit up he never would sleep laying down always back to something and beating his back or head against something. He now talks a lot and talked/crawled/walked before his older sister. He never would want anyone to hold him much. He doesn’t like anyone much to hug on him besides me. It’s just a lot of things that worry me🥺
My 2 year old is the same exact behaviors just about to a T. He has been in a therapy program for the last few months but not much progress. I am so emotional watching this because mine is 2 yrs and 5 months and he is not even doing all of these things like pointing barely speaking only interacts with siblings he won't look when we point. We will do an eval when he is 3 through our local school systems
Old video but just want to to tell you you’re doing an amazing job ❤️❤️wish I can give you a big hug . I as well need one . Watching your videos because my 18 month old likes to look at lights , hand flapping and keep one time on her hand for a certain time .
Thank you so much for making this video. My son is showing different signs, but what exactly is going on I don’t know. We have a doctors appointment in 2 weeks, so nervous but I’m pray it will go alright
Laura Andersen my daughter has hers in 2 weeks as well. She’s 2.5 years sold and we are so nervous but relieved to have the appointment set!
Should my 2 year old tell me they’re hungry/thirsty? I guess I stick to a schedule and always ask them if they’re hungry/thirsty.
It’s so common to have multiple children with the same diagnosis the changes are so high
Wow somethings i had no idea about, like the high pain tolerance , and the eating rutine..my son is almost 3 and doesnt talk ans doesnt socialize either he has quite a few of the syptoms to where i consider getting him seen, great video thank you stay strong
My girl has that no Se person
My 17month old is just being referred to early intervention yet with no diagnosis. I am disappointed that all of the CZcams videos I can find online are mostly just the parents talking the whole time. I wish there were more videos showing the actual children playing and just doing what they normally do so I had something to compare
I have a newly turned 2 yr old. We been wondering about him for the past 6 -7 months now . I think he is potentially autistic but my wife is in denial. I hope I'm wrong but we are looking to get him evaluted shortly. His signs are hand flapping, walking backwards, walking on his toes, throwing his food on the floor, throwing his head back when frustrated. However he does eat often he just throws it when he doesn't want it instead of just letting it sit there. He also has the speech regression. He used to say banana, mama, papa, Apple and he can't even say any of those words anymore. He'll make sounds of pets. Like he'll woof when the dog barks, or he'll make a monkey sound when he picks up his toy monkey. Or say quack when he sees a picture of a duck. He's really good at putting puzzles together. So IDK.... He's our only child so at first I cried and was scared but now I just want to help him ASAP to help him move forward in his life if he in fact is. Thanks for the video.
The squeezing/sigh of relief sounds like an OCD thing. The teeth grinding sounds like anxiety, and possibly OCD as well. Since those things are co-morbid, and they’re both co-morbid with autism- doesn’t surprise me. I’d recommend looking into that and bringing it up to the drs. Those are 3 of my 10 diagnoses. If I can help at all please let me know.
Thank you so much for the videos on autism. I'm fairly new to the channel, and the videos have been extremely useful to me. I originally found a few videos about Noah. I have known for so long that something is off with my son, and I have even kept quiet about some red flag things to doctors. I guess I've just felt guilty, like maybe it's my fault... but because of you and these videos, I am now taking the first step to try and get my four-year-old son Kyle evaluated. Thank you so so much! I had to fire his first pediatrician, but we're headed in the right direction now.
Thank you so much! 😊
I’m not autistic (I mean as far as I know lol) but when I was 2-3 years old I used to pretend I wanted a hug and then bite peoples necks, I never wanted to be cuddled, hated to be touched.
This is very helpful! Thank you ^.^
My parents won’t get my brother evaluated even though he has all the signs and the doctor is worried about it
I try tossing the ball at my 2 yrs and 4 months old an baby boy and he also scare by covering his face. I teach showing him how to toss a ball under hand but he also throw the ball overhand most of the time and sometimes with both his hand overhead. He doesn't eat any solid food at all other then very little apple, yogurt and milk. He doesn't know how to kiss anyone on the cheek. He is also very limited on vacab but he knows most of the animals name like monkey, dog, horse, zebra, lion(his favorite), turtle, apple, cats. He knows his colors like black, white, most of the rainbow colors. He also knows all his numbers from 1-20. What worries or concern me the most is everytime i try teaching him how to catch a ball by tossing him the ball very softly to him under hand he would cover his face and look very scare. I am not sure if he got hurt at school by playing with other kids or what happen? My other concern is that he's not eating and solid food like he used to. Before he eats EVERYTHING!!! Now he doesn't eat anything solid other then very little apple, chips and that's pretty much it. He only drinks milk. What do to? He's goes to day care since 8 months old and one time at day care he had one horrible injury on his forehead where he falls and hit his head on the mirror when he's around 1.5yo and had 4 stitches. Can anyone knows if he had any problem? He's a very happy baby for sure. Doctors confirm he has delays. Any advices? His mother have szkcophrania. Is that a sign of that when he's scare all the time when throwing him the ball?
My oldest was always compared with autism. He didn’t say words until he was 2 and he started talking almost at 3. Now he is 7 and he WONT STOP TALKING. He super social, and he is just like any other boy his age.
Doctors love it when a child hasn’t reach milestones because then they can diagnose something or other and feel needed. Parents should listen but be weary.
Well this child is now 7 and definitely autistic. Speech and communication isn’t the only trait of autism
Thank you doc for your good work
It’s been months now and my child has improved completely since using your herbs.

Is it possible that he has a mix of Insomnia and OCD? My sister has autism, and I grew up learning a lot on the subject, and although some of these seem like potential symptoms, this could be quite a different case. The separating of the food is definitely an OCD or anxiety sign. Obviously, the sleep trouble is a sign of insomnia. I am not a doctor, so don’t hold me accountable, I am just putting my thoughts out there. Thank you for putting this helpful video out there, wishing the best for you and your family! (Edited from here on because I forgot to add this) also, he really seems like he could be gifted. A lot of gifted kids are like this. He seems advanced and smart for his age.
Our LANDing Crew that’s a really smart idea! I am so happy you responded to me, I’m honored. I think it’s a great idea to start him in school, he is certainly a smart kid.
Hyper active thyroid cause insomnia by the way
Try your kids on sleep essential oils before bed time oils are great on Se people their is also Aspergers too
Our LANDing Crew
They are a team by the way
it’s lo Many are great with Music
Art and some with Sports
My kids did bite me too as toddlers
Aspergers people are like this with out the language problems involved
it’s lo
Aspergers people are this with no language problems
Wow i could have made this video about my 2 year old son noah!
My son is 2 and half autistic and his name is Noah.
I am seriously about to cry right now. I have been concerned with my son he is 1 in a half he still doesn't talk, he frequently fall, he doesn't pay attention to nobody and shows no emotions when people show him affection. :'( alot of people have told me that i should be concerned and i have not taken my son to the doctor. I do not know how to deal with this :'( i love my son the same
Try enrolling in an early steps program. It's a free program where I live (FL), but I signed up w/ them right before my son was born at the hospital. They do evaluation on children in all areas and provide free services including speech therapy, etc.
There are so many similarities with my child Noah. He doesn't pay attention to anything I point to. He dont answer to his name. He doesn't a whole lot. He will not eat most foods and if I try to give him different foods he throws it on the floor. He will go up to strangers and even sit on peoples lap that he just meant. He does cuddle. I have to put him to sleep at night in the bedroom and rock him to sleep at night and he doesnt do naps at all or he will not sleep at all. He will not play with other children. He doesnt play with many toys. He did do the truck thing where he would spin the wheels on the truck. He plays with blocks. He has a tablet he play games and does puzzles on he lives that. He grinds he teeth all the time. I really think he may have autism after watching this and it scares me.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Amazing Mommy
I have not had eight days of sleep there is a two-year-old across the apartment complex all he does is Scream doesn't cry he just screams on top of his lungs for 12 hours a day until he is exhausted and passes out his family is Russian I don't think they speak English let alone even know what the word autism or autistic is. I am getting to the point where I'm becoming stressed out they don't have common courtesy for anybody around the apartment complex they have their windows open and they just allow him to scream until he falls asleep I don't know if he has autism but I don't know how I should go about trying to help these parents calm him down somehow this is not normal behavior screaming on top of your lungs for 12 hours a day for 7 days straight since they moved in
Wow, I needed this.
