Wow, my son has been diagnoised with autisim and his experiences have made me wonder about myself, this is so interesting because I used to have a fluffy owl, and I used to rub a very specific part of the owls wing under my nose for comfort, I remember doing it, and the owl was well loved from my memories as I had already been doing it for years. I was labelled a shy from a young age. I never felt shy I just didn't speak to strangers or in large groups. Anyway thank you for sharing your experiences.
I got the herbs from Dr Oyalo and use the remedy on my son as he instructed. As I speak my child is speaking well and his social skill has improved. It a good thing to tell this and his herbs is the best for autism kids than any therapy. Thanks
My 2.5 year old daughter is exhibiting a lot of these symptoms and we brought it up to her pediatrician who just blew us off because “females rarely have autism”
I would recommend trying to find someone in your area who understands how girls present and have her reevaluated. Doctors who don’t specialize usually aren’t as up to date in presentation and girl symptoms.
The same thing happened with my 3yo daughter. She started showing signs of delay and other traits I brought it up to her pediatrician and she says she's fine. That she's a healthy baby, that is common in houses where 2 languages are spoken. 🤦♀️ I contacted CPS and they were able to provide the phone number for a specialist in my county who has already taken the info over the phone to contact our insurance and get it approved and we are waiting for an appointment for the evaluation.
@@CXTengokuX3 keep trying to find a different doctor! If it comes down to it ask if they can just put in a referral anyway. It doesn’t hurt for your daughter to get seen.
I just want to say thank you for sharing your experiences. I am currently in therapy trying the diagnose for autism, in Brazil, where I'm from, they use CID and not DSM, so the assessment is longer, takes months and sometimes years. But I am happy just for the fact that I found a neuropsychologist that believe in my struggles and are trying to figure out what's been happening. I self diagnosed myself with Asperger's Syndrome by quizzes online and stuff, after reading amounts of information and trying to be fair in judging the signs with fear that I might being hypochondriac lol But every time I see moms talking about their children in the spectrum I simply can hear my mom talking about me as a child, only she didn't had the knowledge to distinguish the behaviors I was displaying. You're an amazing mother, your kids are very lucky to have you around them. Wish you the best
I appreciate both you and Aspie Mama sharing your stories. However, idk if either of you know this but a*perger's is an outdated term and the man it's named for was a eugenicist and Nazi sympathizer. Not something to be associated with. Johann "Hans" Friedrich Karl A*sperger is who I'm referring to btw. It's okay to just say "autistic" instead. 😌

I just want to express my gratitude for you doing this. And one small thing: autistic people don't really like that term "high functioning autism". It portrays the idea that the autism spectrum is a straight line, where everybody falls somewhere on the line. Which is just not the case. Also, it's quite the ableist term. I by no means want to disrespect you, and I'm sure you didn't mean it that way. Just wanted to let you know
Yes, I’ve come to realize with my own children it just isn’t that simple as high or low and really quite misleading. Any suggestions on better terminology?
@@navigatingautismwithdani first of all, I love how you could see for yourself in your own children that it just isn't that simple, and that those functioning labels can't even begin to capture the personality of ANY individual person!!! You could say "high or low support needs". Also, you could specify the autistic traits that you see in your children. It's almost like every autistic trait has it's own spectrum, and just because someone is autistic, doesn't mean that person will have the same combination of traits as another autistic individual. Does that make sense?
Totally makes sense, thanks for the help with the wording. I really appreciate it, and will keep it in mind for future videos. Yes, I love the way you summarized it above, it's so true. Each of my 3 kids that have the diagnosis are so different in their needs. Thanks!!
This is enlightening because this is what I was like as a child. I have been wondering if I have autism and this video was really helpful to notice what symptoms I had as a kid

All kids vary in the spectrum. Just remember there's so many variations. You can compare similar experiences but they will not all be the same. From one mom to another...find other parents you can learn from too! We all have different ways of working with our children that maybe will help another. :-)
Agree, I have 8 diagnosed and 2 on the waiting list, I had to turn down a family last week. I and my staff can only handle so much. Now, fears with Covid-19 , RSV and croup!! To much

My 2 yo is suspected to be in the spectrum because 3 of my nephews have autism and learning disability. I dunno about speech if she is really delay but the last evaluation came out quite good. She just have this moments when she say stuff nobody can understand. She also hates vacuum or any equipment with loud sound but isnt to the point that she will be so upset. She throw tantrums but will only last for like a minute. She also do hand flapping when excited but she dont do it randomly. We got evaluated for speech this past week and will get the result a month from now. Hopefully it comes back good.

I am 61 years of age. That said, I lived in a time of small pox. Polio. and measles. I found comfort with blanket.; "Blankie." This was a very normal sensory soothing mechanism. Much like present day pacifiers. I, as well, enjoyed the rocking motion. I really think that this modern society has and will continue to diagnosis Autism at an alarming rate. I lived in a era that when kids became anxious, a good run around the backyard relieved tension! When temper tantrums presented ( now called melt downs ) a good amount of time in my bedroom with no dinner solved the problem!
I hear what you are saying, however this isn’t just mild comfort seeking. The key here is is the amount of the behavior. If it was something that didn’t interrupt her ability to function throughout the day then it would be normal behavior. Temper tantrum’s and meltdowns aren’t the same thing. Meltdowns are when a child is unresponsive to anyone, if it was just a temper tantrum then when you offered what they wanted they would snap out of it. A meltdown is more of an overwhelmed emotional break. I hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion you had.
@@navigatingautismwithdani I understand I needed to smell my hair to calm down no matter where or when the problem is at15 in school it was not socially aceptable so I was sent tonthe office a lot then to the psicologist who though I had a tick and just never did anything. until it became a problem since I wasn't allow to do it I stared passing out or having big melt downs and crying in the classroom. School was a nightmare.

My daughter is getting evaluated on July 18th and she does most of this stuff am trying to understand her more if you have any videos to help me understand that will be great !
She struggles with a lot of language issues, all of my kids seem to have speech pragmatic disorder, which is issues with word retrival, poor memory, and organization and planning of thoughts. They are missing alot of expressive language, however, she will talk your ear off if you allow her. lol.
my 2 year old drives me nuts. She looks at my eyes sometimes. Before she did not. yes she taps her toys on her lips. sometimes. she has bad meltdowns, I would cry. She repeats word now. She does rock and forward only in the bed on a big pillow. That is the first time I thought autism maybe. She has a hard time me changing her diaper. Taking a bath and get dressed. It is like a mission and I get exhausted. I know what she wants when I ask her if she wants to drink or juice. The doctor says she has mild autism. If he says so. But the meltdowns are the only thing that I cant handle. Screaming and kicking. OMG. When I say not to touch, she listens sometimes. She goes to a school for autism. Love her to death but I have to not let my nerves get the best of me. I used to think that vaccines cause autism. NOPE. And she does hug me sometimes and she kisses me sometimes. I dont know if it is really autism.
Being a parent to a child is hard, especially one that needs additional support. It's a lot to cope with and it is draining but we keep doing it because we love our kids and want the best for them. The meltdowns are the worst as you can't really help when they are in that state. It's hard on the nervous but i find reminding myself sometimes it isn't about me, and to just take a step back helps. Once she calms a bit, I can usually help her the rest of the way. From what you describe I definetly hear signs of Autism. Each child is unique in their presentation in how it affects them exactly. The usual symptom commonalities I find tend to come down to emotional regualtion, social abilities- such as relationships/ interaction not basic eye contact., and hyperfocused/ repetitive behavior. Hope this is helpful! You got this!

All my kids were on track for gross motor skills, their fine motor skills started to lag around the 18-24 month mark. My older daughters speech seemed amazing, but that was also compared to 2 kids who had speech delays. She does actually have all the criteria for Speech Pragmatic Disorder, which affects memory of words, planning and organization of thoughts, and more. So she would ask something over and over, like she couldn't absorb the answer. Hope this helps!

hello i have 3 yearv old girl ahe has also of fear and she still not standing and walking yet what can i improve in wha am doing to help her talk and walk
For us we had to discuss with our pediatrician, and get a referal to the developmental clinic. From there we filled out a questionnaire with a lot of questions about development and why we felt concerned. After they received that we had an appointment with someone at the clinic to discuss even more questions about their development. Once all of that was done we then had an appointment with a developmental team which consisted of an occupational therapist, speech therapist, kids neurologist, and kids psychologist. Where they do some testing using standardized exams, they will play with them and ask them to identify things in the pictures. After that they sit and discuss their observations. Then they let you know what they think. That is how it went for us pretty much. Hope this helps you!
New things can be very hard for them, especially if it is out of their normal routine. One of my kids doesn't eat a lot because he is super picky in what he will eat, but it can vary from kid to kid.
I was wondering are Autistic toddlers always quieter than atypical children? Or could they be loud too? I am asking about 18 month old and under babbling toddlers that don't talk yet? I know that when older Autistic children are non communicative they scream and screech because of lack of communication so does it change from quiet to screaming or what?
I have a few kids with autism diagnosis and I have one who was very quiet, and one who was the opposite. Screaching/ screaming could be from frustration of not being able to communicate what they need or a self soothing behavior. Generally if they like noise they will squeal from a younger age. Also it’s important to offer them other forms of communication via pics or sign language. Just because they aren’t verbal doesn’t mean they can’t express their thoughts.

Can Autism happen at any age or are ppl born with it? Also does it progress over the years differently than before? (I myself have Autism but know nothing about it :") )
Autism I believe is something you are born with as it is neurological. There are things possibly can aggravate symptoms but it’s already there. In my experience sometimes the symptoms aren’t fully noticeable till 2.5 yrs old, but usually by then there are clues if you know what you are looking for.

"something going on" is not necessarily autism. I feel a true case is easily noticeable; getting to age 7 with no diagnosis and being in public school is a sign, IMO, she is not autistic or barely autistic, if that is a term. Kids do all sorts of things, anxiety may produce some of these. I believe there are more "cases" diagnosed, not necessarily more cases per population.

When both my boys were diagnosed genetic testing was offered by our developmental doctor. They figured there was a genetic link after having 2 kids back to back diagnosed. It can be genetic but there isn’t one specific gene known to cause autism.
@@navigatingautismwithdani As the aspie grandad of these kids, I would just add that my daughter the owner of this blog has a gene marker that must have come from me. I've not had genetic testing myself but was diagnosed by the same doctor that was part of the process for my grandsons. I had a very hard time up through high school with no support at all. It was unknown in those days, I was just treated in school as a brilliant antisocial, under-achieving, mischief maker. I had a regular seat in the principles office and counselors office as well as regular visits to the woodshop where the board of education was applied to my seat of education. I'm now 70 yrs old.
@@christinetroop2737 Yes, this is true. All I meant to say is even though we waited on vaccines it was clear there were symptoms before being vaccinated. Thank you, though for pointing out that they don't cause Autism as this is true, and unfortunately a myth a lot of people believe.
My son is 2.5yr old and has never had a vaccine. He started showing signs at 8.5mos old and was officially diagnosed a few months ago with autism. Vaccines have nothing to do with it.

3:47 i know someone who used to do this too! but does this mean this person has autism or could it be something else like adhd instead?
have you any experience with episodes of staring blankly and eye "shifting"
Not so much, they don't really just stare blankly but may shift or avoid eye contact as extended eye contact can be hard for them.
Do kids who has it ..feel scary be with new things or eat less?
New things can be very hard for them, especially if it is out of their normal routine. One of my kids doesn't eat a lot because he is super picky in what he will eat, but it can vary from kid to kid.

Autism I believe is something you are born with as it is neurological. There are things possibly can aggravate symptoms but it’s already there. In my experience sometimes the symptoms aren’t fully noticeable till 2.5 yrs old, but usually by then there are clues if you know what you are looking for.
I got the herbs from Dr Oyalo and use the remedy on my son as he instructed. As I speak my child is speaking well and his social skill has improved. It a good thing to tell this and his herbs is the best for autism kids than any therapy. Thanks
I finally got dx at 25
Did they not test her at her 18 month appointment?
She was seen by her pediatrician regularly, but where I live a developmental assessment is only done if requested.
Yep eye contact being a thing is outdated
*echolalia, no echolia - an autistic adult ❤️
"something going on" is not necessarily autism. I feel a true case is easily noticeable; getting to age 7 with no diagnosis and being in public school is a sign, IMO, she is not autistic or barely autistic, if that is a term. Kids do all sorts of things, anxiety may produce some of these. I believe there are more "cases" diagnosed, not necessarily more cases per population.

What is normal behaviour in children if they don't do these kind of things. I think it's normal behaviour for any little kids.
These things can be normal behavior, however what differentiates them from normal behaviour is the intensity and frequency at which they happen.

I’m sorry did your doctor offer a genetic testing is it genetic?
When both my boys were diagnosed genetic testing was offered by our developmental doctor. They figured there was a genetic link after having 2 kids back to back diagnosed. It can be genetic but there isn’t one specific gene known to cause autism.
@@navigatingautismwithdani As the aspie grandad of these kids, I would just add that my daughter the owner of this blog has a gene marker that must have come from me. I've not had genetic testing myself but was diagnosed by the same doctor that was part of the process for my grandsons. I had a very hard time up through high school with no support at all. It was unknown in those days, I was just treated in school as a brilliant antisocial, under-achieving, mischief maker. I had a regular seat in the principles office and counselors office as well as regular visits to the woodshop where the board of education was applied to my seat of education. I'm now 70 yrs old.
You meant echolalia not echolia
Yes, thank you.
Are your kids vaccinated?
My kids had delayed vaccinations and showed symptoms before being vaccinated.
Vaccines don’t cause autism.
@@christinetroop2737 Yes, this is true. All I meant to say is even though we waited on vaccines it was clear there were symptoms before being vaccinated. Thank you, though for pointing out that they don't cause Autism as this is true, and unfortunately a myth a lot of people believe.
My son is 2.5yr old and has never had a vaccine. He started showing signs at 8.5mos old and was officially diagnosed a few months ago with autism. Vaccines have nothing to do with it.
Vaccines DO NOT cause autism!!!
