    One of the hallmark signs of autism is a child not responding to their name. I know when Lucas was a young child, he would not respond to his name and that was a warning sign of autism. So, I now know, as a behavior analyst, how to teach response to your name.

    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.

    Me and my younger brother were both diagnosed with autism. He was diagnosed at two while I was diagnosed at 13. He’s 1and1/2 years younger than me so we’re quite close. He is higher functioning socially but lower functioning academically, while I’m the opposite higher functioning academically but lower functioning socially. Most people think of autism as a spectrum that goes from very severe to ‘you’re not that autistic’. When it’s not like that we all share different strengths and weaknesses.
    What really annoys me though is my religious parents think that changing my younger brother’s name will ‘help him talk’ and ‘fix him’ when that IS NOT how it works. They already tried to ‘fix’ both of us last time when we were younger and ‘didn’t work’. I really don’t want them to change his name and it really upsets me when they think that’ll help when all they need to do is spend more time at home with him, especially my dad. He was never home. It was always work 6 days a week, then cricket 3 times a week, badminton 2 or 3 times a week. When cricket isn’t in season, he goes to my uncle’s house and plays cards every Friday and Saturday now, leaving at 10pm and coming at 3am or 4am. This results him to wake up around 1pm or 2pm. When my younger brother tries to wake him up he’s tired and pushes him away. I just really hate my parents rn.

      My son has autism, he is 4. The way you have articulated yourself gives me hope that my son will have a fulfilling life. Some times men do not have the tools, every generation must do better. My dad is a workaholic as well. He didn’t have the tools because he was never given the love that he needed. You understand what you need, because you are much more in step with yourself. Make sure you hand those tools down to your kids! Stay strong, work out, it’s a huge self esteem builder.

    Thank you very much for creating and still posting updates in your channel Dr. Barbera. My younger son (2y7m) has symptoms of autism and also doesn't respond to his name. We have been calling his name whenever we require his attention (whether positive or negative). We will commit to being more intentional and conscious with pairing his name to positive reinforcements and the like from now on.
    What I've noticed is that he picks up better from observational and behavioural learning. We are trying to pair these to words and phrases although there are inconsistencies in his responses and initiations. Anyway, thanks again.

      @@mssophia978 Hi, he is still being followed up by a clinical psychologist and attending speech and occupational therapies weekly. Things are not going well as expected as we have been told that he will not be able to follow the school's academic curriculum. He's 3y7m now anyway, so we are trying our best to help him along the way. In terms of name responding, we pair his name with usual activities that he likes. For example, , go for walk, which means going to the playground. Other than that, we always go to his level (e.g., kneeling, bending or sitting down whilst looking at him) and call him. He may not respond the first time but usually do in the 2nd or 3rd time we say his name. After responding, there will be a hug, cheer, clap, or getting him to do what we are asking him to (e.g., wear clothes, bathe, brush teeth, etc.) - Reinforcement.
      Over this past year until more recently, he has begun to have more eye contact and even initiates play with us while looking at us in the eye. Although his still lacking in speech, we are trying to use these bids or attention to capture his interest and "plant" useful words for him to take in.

    How do you adjust your comments (e.g., "Johnny push") and language in general for older (elementary) students without adding too much complexity? I'm an over-thinker, but I think it's an important nuance to consider that I don't seem to see a clear answer for. I've seen research to suggest that using complete sentences is better than short phrases (when modeling AAC, using sentences but only pressing buttons for key words), but I've also seen other research stating that using telegraphic utterances is effective. Your thoughts?

    • @marybarbera

      It can depend on the learner but I like using pivotal phrases (verb/noun combos) and for kids with low receptive language we want to make it clear what part of speech they should attend to. Watch this video czcams.com/video/R_nv_7q28WA/video.html

    Hi. Our 2nd child (a boy) is 20 months and unresponsive to his name. It's a strange one. He seems to tick all the other boxes. If you show him a toy and hide it, he'll go and fish it out. He likes closing doors and wants to climb on me and share a hug when I'm playing with his sister (jealousy) etc... but my wife mentioned today, why isn't he responding to his name? He's starting to recite his ABCs and can say mama, baba, oy, yes, oh, but he can't really form adjectives yet like TV, teddy. People questioned our daughter who didn't walk till she was 20 months and was bashing her head on the floor during tantrums. Our son started walking 13 months and running around freely. I will use your technique but it's 5am in the UK and I'm here watching videos, worried about our son.

    My son was just seen 2 days ago and the psychiatrist basically said he is on the spectrum. He knows all his shapes..counts to 100. Counts by 2s knows all his colors and alphabets..he knows different animals days of the week the months of the year just sooo much to be 3.5 but he doesn’t communicate his needs and wants. He pulls you to do what he wants and you just have to figure out what he wants you to do. He rarely answers to his name maybe once in a blue moon seriously. I definitely will be trying this method ! The doctor is recommending ABA therapy he has been in speech since he was 2.5 but that has been a very slow process for him i think she isn’t aggressive enough. But he will be starting head start in 2 weeks where they have many resources and help that will come to him which i love. I’m trying to learn as much as possible to get him on the right track!

      It is hard to say without knowing more but the good news is we can take the same steps to help him talk as if it was more than a delay. Check out my new book and it will help www.turnautismaround.com

    So if I give Tommy a treat he won’t accept just one. How would I deal with the tantrums caused by offering a chocolate button say when I used his name and only giving the one?? Also I made up a song when Tommy was just days old and at 17 months it’s sung constantly but has made no difference at all

    I want to kindly asked you that whether mild autism is curable when they grow up

      Some kids learn enough skills that they no longer meet the criteria for a diagnosis.
