Thank you for sharing this video. I've been doing research on signs that's my 3 yr old may not be autistic. He has great eye contact most of the time, but he blinks EXCESSIVELY. and he just randomly runs to me squeezes me tightly and then bites me. When he gets excited. Thank you for easing my anxiety with this video. I'm nervous for his interview/ assesment.
Thanks for the information, and all your time putting these videos together!
Glad you like them!❤️❤️❤️
There were times I thought I was autistic too. Stuck to the schedule,really difficult for me to understand irony, too much anxiety,happy being all by myself,I only cared about what people said and not about what they really meant and even more. I had obsessions,I couldn't work.I really thought I had Asperger. But finally after seeing a psychiatrist I found out I have OCD and not autism. So..I am dealing with that .
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
Oh old autistic
My sister (who is level one and now in her 50s) uses eye contact to socialize and get attention but she only does this maybe half the time at the most.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
What a great video. So clear and well explained.
Glad you enjoyed it!🩷🩷What other videos would you like to see?🩵🩵
Just subscribed. Idk why I didn't earlier. I have watched some of your videos before and they pop up in my feed. Thank you for making these videos. My son had an appointment with a developmental psychologist and have a phone call later this week after the results are ready. My 2.5 year son is speech delayed (no talking at all) and has lot in common with ASD, although I actually think ADHD might be more likely. He always has to be busy, trouble waiting, lot of repetitive behaviors (humming all the time, run back and forth, rocking), and sensory seeking. He also hyper focus on what he finds more interesting. Eye contact can be good at times, but he often ignores his name. I'm also curious because he has a severe form of epilepsy, Dravet Syndrome. I don't know if you know this but ADHD and ASD are much more common in people with epilepsy than the general population.
Thank you for sharing!🩵🩵 We wish you and your son the best!🩷🩷
Great you are mentioning masking. And masking is even more common in girls. That's why they're often not spotted until their teens or even later when they completely fail.
I got dxed at 4
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
A great list and explained very clearly. I'm an adult with Level 2 autism and check all the boxes you mention except for being a picky eater. I'm actually on the opposite end here and am an "adventerous eater". I have my favorite foods of course, but for me trying different and new foods is part of sensory-seeking behaviour. It is definitely less common, but I have met a few autistic people who LOVE trying new foods and who enjoy that novelty. So I would say either your autistic child is a picky eater or a highly adventurous eater (will eat and try anything), but there doesn't seem to be an inbetween.
However, I completely agree with Simon, cooking and kitchen smells even if they are "pleasant" are super overwhelming for me! Preparing meals for myself is already a challenge and the smells just make it extra hard.
Thank you for sharing!💕💕💕
Thank you so much for your insight. I provide services for children on the "spectrum" and I get a lot of information from listening to you as a very knowledgeable and concerned parent.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
My heart goes out for you my sister. May god bless you and your beautiful family. My prayers are with you dear.❤
Thank you so much for being so kind!❤️❤️❤️
I have an almost 11 year old asd/adhd/spd child. I love him to pieces but man it has been hard! I pushed diagnosis because I knew. He was diagnosed at age 5. The list is perfect
Thank you for sharing!💜🩵💜
When I was growing up my communication (even as early as second or third grade (ages eight to nine)) would alternate between being too mature and the opposite.
For example, sometimes kids in my school would say that I talk like their parents. But then the next day (or even later that same day) I would be told that I was talking like a baby, toddler, or preschooler. The fact that I also have difficulty saying my “rs” did not help with this.
My sister (who is also on the spectrum) also did this around that age (from what I have been told).
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
Thank you for that. Not checking any boxes today.
Glad to help!💜💜💜
I always thought my daughter was just spoilt, she's now 4 and showing all the signs she's Autistic. Thank you for your videos, Me and my partner have a hard time with our 4 year old so your videos help so much. My daughter constantly wants to be pushed around in her stroller with a blanket covering her so its dark and on her tablet my legs are so sore tbh. She scratches herself from babies crying sad peppa pig episodes anywhere on her body or throws things or herself otherwise im bruised her dads scratched. she won't eat most food only noodles, chicken nuggets only from McDonald's,patties cut with sauce to dip, potato and gravy only from kfc, lollies chocolate, she can sing almost whole songs but can't tell me what she wants, instead she grabs my hand and throws it towards what she wants, sings songs but can't communicate a sentence to me just 1 or maybe 2 word sentences. Grinds her teeth. Loves stacking, lining toys loves puzzles. She Doesn't like other kids tho. I need a coffee I have many of your videos to watch can't wait to find a way
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
My oldest son has ASD and (I hate using this expression, but) is very high functioning. I agree with a some of these, and I don't with others. I think it's important to know that "ASD" is a "spectrum," and not every child has the same difficulties. Also, I think if you are concerned about having a child who is on the spectrum, and notice any of these qualities in your child that was explained in the video, it's best to get them assessed asap so they can have the accommodations they need. Thank you for your video. I hope it helps people get some answers they need in deciding whether or not to be assessed.
Your right! Every child is different.🩵

Thank you for this video! I am researching as my youngest has been diagnosed with autism severe. I want to do what is best for her. I'll consider joining your group.
Thank you! We would love to have you in the group. You can also cancel it anytime. So you could just try it for a month and see if you like it. And also, let us know what kind of videos are more helpful for you and we can make more of that type.
ever since i was a kid i was super obessed with one specific thing it was actually crazy i still am this way even rn and the sensory issues with smell and touch were pretty bad its gotten better with time tho. its so crazy cuz i can relate so much of these things.
Thank you for sharing
I love your videos. Thank you. 🙏
Glad you like them!🩵😊🩵
I feel like the facial expressions one depends. I couldn't as a kid, but as I grew older I slowly learned to recognise my mom's tells. I think it's not fully impossible.
Also I've always been open to new foods. There are certain foods and textures that I cannot eat and usually fall under a certain type.
As I'm writing this I'm realising that I actually do have issues with both of those things, just not to an extent that I thought was significant 😅
(I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS and later my diagnosis was changed to Asperger's and eventually ASD level 1)
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
This was a great list.

@@7Aheadfamily not being rude but I’ve noticed all you’ve said is “thank you for sharing ❤️” are you just copying and pasting? Well I mean that response doesn’t even fit right with this comment but anyway thank you for taking your time to respond to people!!❤️❤️
We do not copy and paste but your right we will put more attention into responding to comments. Thank you for your feedback!❤️❤️
The times that I do stim is when listening to music in my bedroom , while sitting on my school bus & in my classes . Another Time I stim is when I'm in the bad toxic social environment at my high school which obviously sucks I experience sensory overloads & meltdowns causing a scene in my classroom because I was told something I didn't like especially being insulted of everything that makes up my character / existence . The corrupted world we live in makes things worse , I've always had these stimming issues and when I'm exited I will also stim to the extreme .
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
@@7Aheadfamily No problemo

Thank you for this video
My girl had a speech regression and is non verbal now, she does not have repetitive behaviours, not a picky eater, social in her own way, she can go up to total strangers and touch them😅. Although we are still awaiting autism check, the waiting time is something else.
We appreciate you sharing your story!🩷😊🩷
It all comes down to three factors: Social, Communication, and Restrictive/Repetitive behaviors. If your kid is showing delays in Social and Communication, there are high chances that he is on the spectrum. Due to lack of awareness, people often misinterpret autism as some sort of intellectual disability only. I talked to one of the behavior therapists and she explained it very well that Autism spectrum is not linear but a kind of pie chart where in each section he might be on a different level. People are usually afraid of the labels and delay so much for diagnosis and eventually their kid doesn't early intervention on time.
Thank you for your insight!🩵🩷🩵
My son is almost two has only said four words like mama and dada and the other two only said for one day. He does many things that I question and I try so hard, but after watching this I’m happy I’m not alone.
You are not alone! Thank you for sharing!💕💕💕
I cant always read facial expressions in real life but can figure them out to play along with my character and other characters when acting. It helps a bit to figure out real life expressions but still doesn’t come easily.
Thank you for your insight!🩵🩵🩵We appreciate you!🩷🩷🩷
About picky eating, this is common in kids with SPD too and most of autistic kids have SPD. The kid may have over sensitiveness, under sensitiveness or fluctuate between the two of them, the fluctuation may be year-to-year, to day-to-day or less. When a kid is over sensitive is most common to be a picky eater, but if they are under sensitive the just eat it and don't react enough to spicy food for example or they seek eating some types of foods. I wrote this because your child my be autistic but they may be under sensitive to gustatory/oral sense and they may not be picky eater. Thanks for reading. I have ASD and SPD.
Thank you for your insight!💜💜💜
What about a kid that loves being social, but mainly talking about themself? He also likes to sway left to right. Other than that he doesn’t have any of these symptoms.
If you have concerns, and you think something might be up, he may just have ADHD. But it’s always good to talk to your pediatrician about whatever concerns you have. I know personally lots of people who have ADHD and love to talk about themselves and are constantly interrupting people to talk about themselves. I don’t know if that sounds like your child, but it’s something I’ve seen a lot of.
I have 2 children with autism, and I have taught my children to look between the eyes if someone says, "Look at me." I have ADHD with possible autism, and had learned that tip and trick when I was a kid. Because I was forced to look people in the eyes when talking or listening to them.
Thank you for sharing!🩵🩵 This a a very good idea!🩷🩷
We were told of concern at 1 however we chose ABA over going to be diagnosed. We have faith an believe.
I'm a home mom an I am with my son daily. I am seeing, learning an growing into this. We are currently waiting for our appointment to have the tests done. My husband is very distract from the situation refusing to admit an shifting to me being ok with thinking out child is different.
I am just ok an realize how smart an amazing my son is.
He will look at books, he will try to talk an is finally at saying a word here an there. He rocks, very picky on food, we've only been friends with Grover ab the other sesame St friends. I have a low support, ik my husband is a good man an I see him struggling. What can I do to make it easier an to show him it's ok.
Well, there are definitely a lot of challenges that come with autism, there are also a lot of blessings. Ezra is by far our happiest child, and isn’t that what everybody really wants?❤️

Went thru this 12 years ago with my son, Going thru it again with my 15 month old daughter 😢
❤️❤️❤️
My son is autistic. We don’t do levels in the U.K. but he’d be level 1. He is excellent at reading my facial expressions but what he struggles with is the WHY behind them. He knows I look annoyed/happy/frustrated/tired/proud etc but he can’t always understand why what he’s doing has caused that reaction. He also is not a remotely picky eater. However he is OBSESSED with food and uses it to stim
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I’m probably autistic(basically told by family members and a physiatrist) and what you said fits perfectly I can read faces but I don’t understand why someone upset with me or why their happy and laughing,etc.
Hi, we do have levels in the uk, it’s part of the diagnoses, I was diagnosed ASD Level 1 in 2018, but you may not have noticed as it’s often added as part of the medical explanation and not stated upfront, but yes we do have levels 1, 2 and 3, it’s also something that gets taken into account when applying for benefits especially in the uk, because it indicates the level of need the child or adult has. It’s only an indication of what the needs that that individual has.
How did you teach Simon to be more social, My son makes good eye contact and has very few sensory issues but doesn't mingle with new kids. He is 3.5..Pls share some tips.❤
This is a great idea for a whole video. But one thing that we did was, we helped him with certain friends that were his peers. We helped him have positive experiences with them. Also, Simon learns really quickly when he watches videos. Once he watched a TV show where the parents taught the kids how to say sorry. He was saying sorry all day long after that. 😊 so we really like the TV show Bluey. In that show it teaches lessons like how to be social and how to share your toys and how to wait in line. Simon is very good at copying that show and that has been helpful.
Which level your son have?pls 🙏🏾 reply.going to any therapy?
Many doubt my sons diagnosis , but he is functioning well because of the supports he is given and he is not currently high needs. It took awhile for therapy to click but when it did he grew so much. He still cant handle loud noises such as lawnmowers or helicopters or thunder. He prefers his own routine of play and will welcome others who join in but dont change it. And he has become much more social with adult strangers but not with kids who are strangers.
Thank you for sharing your story💕💕💕
I have level 2 autism and apraxia of speech and while I have an enormous vocabulary, I can't say the words I know. I've used a wide range of words ever since I learned to spell on my AAC device which was when I was about 7 or 8. When I type people don't know I'm not Neurotypical because I "speak" so well, so yeah I know a lot of words, but I don't usually know how to use all those words I know to get my point across. Typing is best cause I get a chance to think out what I want to say.
Thank you for sharing and commenting!💜💜💜
How much are your goodies I would like to have one
My son Luke is 3 and his teacher and me and my family are concerned he is autistic but his pediatrician says she doesn’t think he is autistic. He has a lot of signs but he does make eye contact. He has huge tantrums that’s he is not consolable from they last a long time. Also how repetitive do they have to do something like all day or just sometimes? He does do repetitive things and one of those things is him getting water in anything he can and dumping it out on to a toy. Or play with a belt or string way he looks at it with his head kinda tilted and makes a noise and likes to stuff it in things. He does have a speech delay. He hates getting his hair cut. Use to say water and changed it to gwata and used to say coke and says cokey now. There’s to many things to list they are just so many things. Also he try’s to eat grass or plastic and he also gets card board and like to ripe it in a bunch of little pieces and he does books the same way. Anyways I know you’re not a professional but what do you think? His dr says she would put him on the list to be seen and evaluated.
I always say that if you have concerns, (and you obviously do have many you just listed here) then you should get your son tested for Autism. Get him on the waiting list as soon as you can, since those lists can be very long. And what is great about this, is that you will know for sure, if he is Autistic or if he isn't. My doctor said he really didn't think that Simon was Autistic, but he was. A lot of the time, Doctors like family MDs, who aren't certified to diagnose Autism really don't know what to look for. Good luck with everything and give Luke a big hug for us, you've got THIS! Knowing for sure will help him either way. And make sure that the clinical psychologist uses the ADOS test to test him.
@@7Aheadfamily he is currently referred to a doctor now she said he might not get seen until he’s around four years old because like you said the waiting list is so long. Thank you for your encouraging words 😊 we appreciate you guys and all your helpful videos and tips!!
Of course! We are happy you are here!😊😊
Hai mam is Simon have any regression in his early stage.pls reply 🙏🏾
Yes. He has regressed. when he was 2 years old he regressed in his speech. But then we put him in Speech Therapy when he was three and that helped a lot.
What if your deaf, you just naturally learn to take things is visual I wonder if it would work the same?
I have some deaf friends. I don’t know if I can truly answer this question for them. But a deaf person themself would probably have a lot to say about their experience in the world.

My daughter has profound intellectual disability and severe autism and she always looks directly into peoples’ eyes
Thank you for sharing!💕💕💕
I know several asd people that are no picky eaters. Also.my asd som is super picky with food but has no stimming.
Thank you for sharing!🩷🩷🩷
The not being a picky eater one is not foolproof.
For example, in the House M.D. episode “Lines in the Sand” the severely autistic character in the episode has an eating disorder called Pica that causes him to eat non-food items such as sand or chalk. This also happens in real life sometimes. For example there’s a kid in my neighborhood who is on the spectrum (level two like I was growing up) and within the past year or two I have seen him eat some things that most preschool or kindergarten age kids would not eat (such as bugs and earthworms). He’s older than Simon but younger than Ezra so this would not seem to be a function of age.
Even without this it might be possible for someone to be on the spectrum and not be a picky eater.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
My little sibling’s autism was overlooked because she masked and when they evaluated her at 3, they said she couldn’t have autism because she played with dolls. So they said she was just copying her siblings and peers who were indeed autistic. She was the typical autistic child, but didn’t get diagnosed. Now she diagnosed herself with autism.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
I fail on almost all of these, I hate weird texture, trouble with communication, having difficulty with eye contact, very bad at first impressions and so on, I am autistic so it makes sense
Thank you for sharing💜💜💜
For the sensory component, I would rather say that it is the excess in one way or another that may be a sign that one is on the spectrum. Meaning, not only hypersensitivity but also hyposensitivity (lack of), which could explain the excessive "sensory seeking" thing. And the same person can have both for different senses.
For interest, I would rather say that it is mostly binary in intensity. Either you like or you don't like. Liking for an autistic person is seen by non-autistic as passionate (still a nice word), obsessive, geeky and expert-like. Not liking is mostly like ignoring the most basic facts about a topic and refusing to engage in a conversation about it.
For language, it is the fact to be able to speak but not naturally using it for communication purposes. Or completely lagging behind in this matter in terms of development and if we communicate, struggling to adapt to different situations.
Also some of us have been able to mask very young, even in kindergarten.
Thank you for your comment❤️
My son is almost 5 and flaps his arms when excited but doesn’t show any other signs? Not sure what this means? Thank you
Good question. There are three different categories that a person has to have issues in, to have an Autism diagnosis - "Social", "Communication", and "repetitive or restrictive behavior or interests." Hand flapping is a somewhat classic behavior in that last category, but if your child doesn't have any issues in social or communication then he wouldn't get the diagnosis. Maybe watch for any signs or problems in those other categories and talk to your pediatrician if you have any concerns. The only way to know for certain whether he is Autistic is to have an autism assessment by a clinical psychologist. (make sure they do the ADOS test)

Autism acceptance month is coming soon. :)
Mhm
Yes
Yeah!
And autism acceptance day
My 8yo daughter whom in the past we've suspected has a very mild form since age 4, definitely ADHD from genetics. We've never officially got a diagnosis, as it has not been a problem because we educated ourselves and worked early on with her. Social butterfly, very outgoing, however masking is more seen in girls with autism, and it has been thought that girls are harder to diagnose for ASD because of the research so we don't know. Signs we still see are stimming, she will often repeatedly contort her body in signs of Joint hypermobility syndrome, or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome when engaged and she won't sit on furniture correctly at all. Sensory seeking, and sensory escaping very apparent. chews on stuff, we re-direct her to teether necklaces. Picky eater, will avoid finishing foods, scraping a spoon/fork in a bowl for the last bite--sounds she dislikes. Light, sound, and textural sensitivities. Physical contact is a must, she needs to be close, wants to be carried, pressure, cuddles, and hugseeking all the time. With the hyperflexibility she will get tired very easily on hikes, so we have a larger child sized carrier for up to 100lbs, and I'll throw her on my back, she will often fall asleep within 15-30mins like this. Acro-yoga has been a great sensory therapy activity I do with her. An uncommon sensory soothing/seeking activity she will do to escape is putting on her night pull-ups in the daytime. An odd sensory choice to say the least, but I guess it has to do with pressure it puts on her mid-section and the very soft textures that diaper products have. Thank you for making this video, you mention some specific patterns and signs regarding eye contact which I was not aware of!
We are so happy to help!🩵🩵 What other videos would you like to see?
@@7Aheadfamily Do you have any sensory/therapy products that you've had amazing results with?

Could being overly social be a sign of autism? Like no stranger danger and just talking to anyone?
People with autism may get easily attached to people, leading them to be over-friendly❤️❤️
So if my son has three of the signs out of 12 does that mean he’s autistic?
Many Neurotypical children do display many of the traits of autism at different times, autism is is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by 3 specific challenges in social interaction, communication difficulties, and repetitive behaviors.🩷🩷

Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
People with Fragile-X Syndrome (and I believe Fragile-X premutation), can have autism, even though they can make conditional eye contact (when the eye-owner looks away from the Fragile-X autistic person), and once they are comfortable with the people around them, they may begin to be more sociable.
Thank you for your insight!🩵💜🩷
I am level 1 autistic and I never was a picky eater !!
Your right! Between 50% and 89% of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are picky eaters, but this does not all children with autism are picky eaters.❤️
This is likely partly why i cant sleep at nite. Not wanting to stop watching tv. As i relate to tv and watch almost everything under the sun. Only show that drives me nuts and i ignore is the Big Bang theory.

Swimming is a wonderful skill to learn and I k now many Autistic kids who love the water. I don't know how relative it is to communication.

Hi!😊 How are you doing?❤️💕❤️
I would say that if a child understands expressions like “talk your ear off” he or she is probably not autistic.
My sister and I both struggled with expressions like this even at middle school or high school age (at least), probably (at least in part) as a result of being on the spectrum.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
True but also now as a teenager with suspected autism; I don’t understand those phrases NATURALLY but I constantly searched them up as a kid, and memorized what a few basic ones mean. So now getting diagnosed is more complicated
@@AnnabethOwl This is an example of how the internet makes it easier to mask one’s symptoms if one chooses.
I was born back in the mid-1970s so googling a phrase that I didn’t understand was not yet an option. This made it a bit easier for me to diagnosed on the spectrum for the second time in the mid-1990s.
My sister is on the spectrum and like Simon she also started making eye contact around the same age that he did.
On the other hand, I am also on the spectrum (she was level one when she was born, and I was level two initially (Now I’m level one)) and even now in my late 40s I still need to consciously remember to make eye contact. It still does not come naturally to me.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
@thomasschoeck9080 I also did that and I also have asd.
