Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with development delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.
I have twin 9 year old boys both have ASD since they were 2. One of my sons also has anxiety. We have noticed it the most if something is different in his regular routine. It really shows if unexpected guests stop by for visits and he doesn't like when other people sleep over in his house. He has never been able to go for sleep overs at his Grandmas like his twin brother does. Vacation trips are a lot to just prepare him. He isn't on and medication for this. Beginning of a new school year is so hard especially if he doesn't know who his teacher will be or his EA. We have just been preparing him the best we can for whatever situations come up also any doctor visits are the hardest with him. We have been talking to his pediatrician regarding this but medication hasnt been brought up as of yet. I am hoping as he gets older things will get better for him. Loved your video I will check out some more of yours for sure.
Thanks Mary for such wonderful video with useful information. 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
We have Emotion 😊
Hello there! I want to try meds in my 4 years old. She has so much rage it’s very hard. I also have issues with my son, he is 11 he barely listen to me. Both ASD. My daughter gets extremely active and my son is the opposite. My daughter is sensory seeker for the most part, my son is very avoidant. They both have speech delays.
I believe I have ASD, I’m 41. I never had speech issues, just communication problems, anxiety disorders, repetitive behaviors, behavior issues (problems regulating my emotions), sensory avoidant for the most part (noises are the worse), socialization issues and a lot more. Ive been very naive. I used to run away from my parents and hide. I was diagnosed with ptsd, anxiety, depression in the past.
I wasn’t raised in USA. I was raised in Latin America. I have a psychiatric history. My parents didn’t know what to do. I strongly believe I’m autistic. I’m still struggling with my executive function and the previous mention. I need help, I need assessment.
When my daughter goes all crazy like that I want to disappear, loud noises kills me. I’m under constant stress. I’m alone with my kids and no rest. I want to try full spectrum CBD oil.
That sounds very stressful. I would certainly consult your doctor if you think you know something that would help.
Hi! Have you ever heard of nucleotide supplements? It might help both you and your daughter, and basically anyone with or without autism! Currently doing and research and reading case studies about this, because I want to help children and parents alike, so if you want to know more about this let me know!
Definitely ask your doctor about this as well, have a great day!
Thank you
You're welcome
Hello i have a 10year old autistic daughter. She was diagnosed when she was three due to her not socilizing and very sensitive to noises or crowd. She didn’t talk much used to do echolalies (repeat what you would say) and run of very often. Fassed forward from 5/6 yo she started talking much better as she started socializing. But sadly my father in law passed away a year ago this month and she had a strong bond with him. Her anxiety hit in from then specially evening times sweaty hands fear heart beating fast fifthy thousand questions some with no sense. I bought her a heavy blanket and that worked wonders she has also in her room lights ceilinglike the sky. All this has helped she has improved but is still here.
She has a bad time being away from me and asks me how long will i be out? Or can’t anyone else go instead of me?
I talk a lot with her but she says herself she doesn’t know why it happens.
Thankyou for your video xx
That sounds like a tough situation. I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I appreciate your support and for watching!
Thank you ❤😊
You're welcome! Check out MaryBarbera.com/resources for extra help.
Thank you for your video. My 13 year old son was recently diagnosed with ASD and the trigger for diagnosis was that he developed a severe anxiety attack. He started talking non stop and I had to put him on medication. Until last month I thought he was a normal child with just a few quirky behaviours. So I am still reeling from the shock of his diagnosis and his totally abnormal behaviour which was absolutely sudden. May I know what the allergic medication which helped your son is?
It is best to talk to you doctor about allergy shots and see if they may be a good idea for your child.
Thank you 💙
You’re welcome 😊
@@marybarbera the little boy that I care for suffer high anxiety end develop a very bad hidrophobia, he really terrorizes by water, he panic with just looking at the sprinklers in the parks, his parents are in a 4 day trip down the shore to try to put him in the water. I'm so afraid of that for the poor little boy, his father thinking is that we must pushing him into the waters.
😭. Can he suffer a zeasure for the high anxiety that the terror of water cause on him?
Well I appreciate your videos and most is free God bless your kids and your life for helping parents and profesional I’m RBT as no I learn with your videos
Thanks for watching!
My son is 3. He was diagnosed with autism level 3 and SPD when he was 2. The thing that alarms me the most is his anxiety in the car. He freaks out if I make a turn that he doesn’t know. We have to go the same routes that he’s familiar with or he has a meltdown in the car. Can you tell me your perspective on this?
You may have to work with giving him visuals of where you are going and think about ways to prevent this behavior if you have to go a different way. Giving him something to focus on in the car vs. the route may help. I go over a lot of strategies that will help in my online courses. Go to www.marybarbera.com/workshops for a free workshop.
I remember being afraid of certain sounds like phones when I go to other people’s houses. I was also afraid of vents with floresent lights everytime we went places when I was a little girl!!
So I was diagnosed with autism when I was 4 and 5 years old.
Thanks for sharing.
My 10 year old has been diagnosed with adhd, I think he is on the spectrum, he is fussy with food, scared of spiders and flys and has always been very anxious about his brother getting hurt. Should I keep a record of his anxiety and take it to our next appointment?
Yes. google mary barbera calendar for a very simple data system that may help you.
@@marybarbera i couldn't find what you said, whats on it? X
My mom is scared of spiders she has arachnophobia unfortunately also has migraines which I believe I do have them too I get migraines every once in a while she gets migraines every time there’s a weather thing so we know that somethings coming whenever she gets a headache I have some common problems with headaches and it’s so bad I have water bottles everywhere from trying to hydrate which all fails as sometimes I forget to drink water whenever I don’t get enough water I get a headache I have to take two chewable Tylenol and rest for relief
👍
I have low spectrum autism at least that’s what we believe in my anxiety right now is making me so it’s impossible for me to sleep as my heart keeps beating really quickly out of my control because I can’t really control my heart and that’s and I’m resting right now I really really hope that this is an a problem with my heart that it’s just a problem with my brain I take my medicine so this is really confusing but I’ll tell my psychiatrist about it so maybe we could raise or lower my dose if medication is the problem
thanks for sharing. That is too bad you are going through such a hard time.
Hey. My brother is almost 8 now, he has separation anxiety and refuses to go to school. Makes all kinds of excuses. Often complains that he is confused on normal situations and doesn’t know what do to, often cannot choose one thing out of two (wants both mostly). And doesn’t remember details of some events that do not interest him. Concentration is a problem, gets bored easily. Language and intellectual abilities are okay. Is it possible for him to be autistic and for it to go undiagnosed?
Yes it is possible.
@@marybarbera How can i make sure?
@@marybarbera are there more certain specific signs? Because he isn’t yet diagnosed with autism but the separation anxiety has been diagnosed and its been 3 years to the diagnosis.
@@marybarbera will really appreciate your help. Thanks 💕
It's best to contact your pediatrician or look up late signs of autism.
Which medicine is good for autistic children if he or she is violent? Please help me. My son is autistic and now becoming violent. and fighting.

Hi, Ms. Marry. If a child refuses to come back to school, what can be done? For some reason, anxious to return to school.
Things that would be really helpful include: 1. making sure you're aware of what's going on in school and 2. working with his/her teachers on desensitization. Join a free workshop to learn more: MaryBarbera.com/workshop.
I have a 10 years old child who may have autism but have not been diagnosed yet and she show signs of them such as loud places too much light and she has temper problem at school doing crisis and anxiety attacks.

Please help me because she really does want to be in school but sometimes its too hard to handle her at the school for the teachers when she is having a crisis.

Will kids with autism live a normal life in future like us like have friends and talk ??
No one has a crystal ball, but some kids do, yes!
Mary Barbera - Turn Autism Around crystal ball ?? I didn't get it.can u please explain?
Mary Barbera - Turn Autism Around this is very very stressful😓
I mean that I cannot and nobody can know your childs future but many kids lead succesful lives but some need life long support.
I am autistic I am 27 I have friends and what could be seen as a normal life. I tend to go mute around people I don’t know but I do go out and party and everything else. My friends all know I’m autistic. They know the signs of me having a panic attack and are very kind. But everyone is different I have some autistic friends that literally can’t handle things I do. And vice a versa. So the only advice I have for you is to care for your child no matter what. And know that everything will work out in some way. We are people just like you. To us we are what you deem as normal because this is our normal. We sent aliens. We are human beings all the same.
I have an autistic son. He is now 17 years. Now he is violent. Please help me. Please answer me. I can not handle him no w. He is taking medicine. But not helping. I want him only peaceful. Please answer me.
my podcast with dr. murray will be helpful. google mary barbera medication
