    The doctors told my mom that my brother he would never talk, would never be potty trained and would need assistance and medication till death. He was around 4, he's now 10 and uses the restroom himself, can talk, and do his own thing. As he's gotten older, he seems more like a socially awkward person. He still has behaviour issues, but he's better.

    As a mother of an autistic daughter, who wasn't diagnosed until age 20, I admire the dedication and love these parents are exhibiting. My daughter is now schizophrenic, and needs 24/7 care which we provide. It's been a very, very hard adjustment. These parents have all my admiration, respect, and empathy. Life is a journey, some folks have rougher bumps, and bigger mountains to go thru and up than others. What excellent progress from these boys!!

    I work with Autistic kids and I've been using similar techniques to interact with my kids. A lot of them smile and laugh when you copy what they're doing but on the flip side some hate it. That's the most difficult thing with kids with Autism is they are all so different, you just have to find what works for them.

    I remember when I babysat a precious little 5 year old non-verbal girl in my late teens. The parents said she wouldn’t communicate, but she played/stimmed with her hands. So I let her clap & play with my hands. After a few days she saw me making breakfast, looked me dead in the eye & laughed. Most powerful moment with a child I’ve ever had. ❤ You may not now it, but they see you.

    I have autism and this is heartbreaking. My mum was told I'd never get better. That I would just always be naughty and unmanageable. That I'd never get anywhere in life.
    ... I'm now 20 years old. I've done my GCSEs, I've done three years in college with all Distinctions, I'm planning to go back to college again and I'm in a relationship.
    When I was younger, I was bad. I couldn't leave the house, I was always self harming, I was destructive and had meltdowns everyday. It wasn't until I got help when I was 14 that my life improved. I went to a special needs school. One that had only 40 students. Every class had 5 kids and three teachers. They improved my life beyond what I thought was possible. They made me into the person I am today.
    I still have meltdowns sometimes, I'm sill autistic. But I'm able to manage it. The one thing that still upsets me is that if I had got early intervention (help when I was still a little kid) I would be even better than I am now. It was only because my mum fought for me to have help for years that I got into that school. And it shouldn't be that way. It just shouldn't.

They where told he would be blind and deaf. Today he is 14 years old and about 6 foot and he is walking without help, talking amazingly and communicating with my aunts clients. He only needs glasses and has no hearing difficulties at all. Though he will never be able to live alone or be left alone for a long period of time he has proven doctors wrong. We all love him to bits. Anyone struggling with anything like this know you aren't alone. :)

      As a person with autism talking to others with autism, this is what I have found autism is. Autism is a different way the brain can be "wired". Some observations may lead an outside observer to think one way, but without the rest of the context it can be very misleading. People with autism take in more information from their surroundings. While doing some activity the neurotypical person (not autistic) may take some time to process said activity and some of their surroundings, an autistic person takes in everything around them that is going on while doing an activity. Take eating lunch in cafeteria for example; while sitting with their friends a neurotypical person will be eating food, talking with their friends, and listening to what they are saying while an autistic person will be doing the same while taking in every sound difference in their friends voice, eye movement, body language, and doing all of these things with anything they also see and hear. Because of that a delay in time to respond may occur as they are taking in and processing more information before they can respond. A lot of autistic people also have Sensory Processing Disorder, which is a disorder that manifest itself in such a way that the individual with it processes their senses either more dramatically or less. For example, take the cafeteria example again; the autistic may be hearing every noise and conversation at once in that room and the lights may be fine for some people and so bright for an autistic person it is physically painful. This can get overwhelming as all of this stimulus can be too much. Stimulus is any information gathered by any of your 7 primary senses: sight, touch, hearing, smell, taste, proprioceptive (sense of where you are in space and movement), and vestibular (sense of balance). While these are external stimuli, internal stimuli can affect an autistic person in the same way; internal stimulus being things such as stress or anxiety to name a few. It is important to let an autistic person know how they live and process information is normal and fine, there is nothing wrong with them. They are perfectly normal people, just with a nerotype that isn't typical. Too much can cause a meltdown sometimes, or a shutdown. A shutdown is straightforward as they just shutdown like a computer and need to rebute away from all that stimulus. A meltdown is when the autistic person goes into a fight or flight response, where they will act accordingly as does anyone when their subconscious feels threatened. Keep in mind, too much stimulus is painful, and be drastically so. You could say that a shutdown is when the fight or flight response goes so extreme they freeze. To combat all of this stimulus an autistic person needs to do one of two things, and may sometimes need help doing them: 1.) Remove the negative stimulus, say like going somewhere darker or quieter 2.) Stim. Stimming can be with any of the 7 primary senses as it replaces bad information, or stimulus, with good. This may be repeating some sound, rocking back or forth, touching some textured object, or hand flapping. These are just a tiny few examples of stimming. Stimming is good stimulus, so an autistic person may stim sometimes just because it feels good to do so with no other reason or maybe to express themselves as is natural and feels good to them. Sometimes when an autistic person has too much negative stimulus they may become nonverbal, or in other words may not be able to talk or use their words. Sometimes they may still be able to make sounds, write, or communicate in some other alternative fashion. Some autistic people take in more stimulus than other autistic people, and can be prone to experiencing more meltdowns and being nonverbal. Nonverbal occurs when the mind and body has to divert resources to dealing with other tasks. An autistic person may normally not be nonverbal but become so during a meltdown or when overwhelmed. Sometimes instead of being nonverbal, there might be a stutter instead. An autistic person has a certain amount of “spoons” they have for every day. Spoons the resources (mentally, emotionally, physically) you can use to do some task. Some days you may have more spoons, and other days you may feel like you none. Getting up out of bed cost spoons, dressing oneself cost spoons, brushing your teeth, showering, eating breakfast, going to work, going to class, anything you do cost some amount of spoons; with little resources of spoons available, you may only be able to accomplish only a few tasks, and that is perfectly okay. Sometimes a task can cost a lot of spoons, and sometimes the same task may cost more spoons than other times. Sometimes looking at a person's face or communicating with someone can be difficult. Communication is like a dance, and can be very difficult to follow. There are 3 ways of communication: what is said, how it is said, and body language. A person's face goes through a lot of changes over a short period of time to reflect how they are feeling, and looking at a person while talking can take a lot of spoons at time. It can be very overwhelming to try to pick up on a lot of cues people have in any form of communication. A lot of times an autistic person may only focus on one form of communication, if any, to be able to communicate. Communication in of itself (talking, listening, changes in subject) yet alone looking at some, taking in all the noise, and light, among some many things happening at once can be too much. If things feel that way, that everything is overwhelming, it is okay to remove yourself from that situation or choose not to be there in the first place. There is nothing wrong in taking care of yourself

As far as the behavior, if he's behaving as though he's not autistic at all now, he's masking due to the trauma from your "treatments" and "cures" which is detrimental to the psychological well-being of an autistic person and significantly increases the risk of a mental health crisis as an adult or even teen, up to and including suicide attempts! Please, for the love of all things good in this world, learn to love your child as they are instead of risking their lives for your comfort and convenience!

    My brother has autism. He is 16 years old in high school. Before a year or two ago, he had no close friends from school. Now, he has friends from a special class he was moved to with all special needs kids. There he met Daniel, who has been his best friend ever since. Even in high school, I hear students call others like Daniel and my brother weird or joke about them. They just don't understand. People like my brother don't see a difference between someone who has down syndrome or someone in a wheel chair. That's what makes them special. They accept everyone, no matter what. The complete opposite of most kids today.

He is still smart, for he can build a replica of a plane quickly and with no instructions.Though he can't behave well at school (he is getting homeschooled soon) ,He truly blows my mind and defies the odds every day. that proves all he needs is LOVE! our father has been in prison all our life and he's been through so much.

      Kids with autism need to know you are thier for them no matter what just because your child has a disability like autism doesn't mean you give up on them or abanoed them you stick with them and learn new ways to communicate with them it is aled most like a newborn learning new skills everyday they will eventually bond with you when they see that you are fully comitt

    • @teresacorley7874
      @teresacorley7874 Рік тому

      Fully committed to them they eventually will trust and build that bond with you but everyday is going to be different for you and other siblings that don't have this promblems may feel left out but that's when you try and teach the other siblings how to recognize the behaviors and help them find their own way of communicating with them once your a family your always a family you should never just give up on them because they have different needs and learning issues you bond with those and create a environment for each kid so they feel connected and loved and trust you even when the going gets tuff easier said then done but loving them should never stop and you pick and choose what really is the best for your children when dealing with the outside professional world of doctors and therapist they are their to just help guide you but the end result is you know what works best for your children on a individual basis even though they might be twins they still have individual needs that are different it is a very long road to journey down with your children but it is so rewarding also even when things get tough these kids can learn and can become successful in society in their own unige way music therapy is a great tool and interacting the music with them is so rewarding and you don't have to be a good singer your natural talent will be the best reward of building this with your children they will rember this the rest of their life and it will build a special bond with them

      I have autism and it took me years to realise that I was not very "giving" towards my parents. I apologised for that as a 20 year old and told my mum that I love her. It made her cry. I believe, as we grow up, that we are to realise the fault in our ways and it will be worth it in the end. But if I had been told that I had been cold towards my parents, I would have apologised and showed affection sooner. I think.

    • @HulluRichie
      @HulluRichie 7 років тому +26

      You're right, I have high functioning autism (aspergers). I used to be in my own world as a child, pretending I was an animal and not responding to people in a "human" way for years. I'm still in social therapy and I'm almost 21. You could argue that I was an "easy" child compared to other autistic children, but I do know for a fact that I was not and I still am not easy to be with. I do know folk who have low fuctioning autism though, who have gotten great results from therapy like the one in the video. I myself at least got more in touch with reality from all the therapies I went to.

    I am a 74 yr. old female who was diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder just 1 year ago. During this year I have progressively been understanding more and more about myself. What was said in this video about autism being the inability to connect socially helped me understand another thing about myself. Even though my ASD manifests itself in a much milder way than that of these boys, there are still basic similarities between them. I have always wondered why I have never been able to keep friends; I always drift away from them and don’t have the deep, caring feelings for friends that most people have. Through this video I now understand that I’m that way because of the ASD. Thank you for your video, and I’m SO glad your sons are improving.

Its to the point where my aunt has started thinking about putting him in a assisted living home at 15 years old. Now before anyone says anything about how selfish and cruel it would be to put him in a home, he is big for his age, he self harms, he put holes in the walls with his head, he hurts his younger siblings, and he is very emotionally draining. My aunt has 4 kids and he is the second oldest. We all love him so much because he really tries to be good and to not hurt anyone but he is getting almost unmanageable. He is very a very sweet boy and i hope they find a way to help him.

Every child who is autistic is different and they all have a family that's different and they will all grow up differently. It's not easy to live with anyone who is on the spectrum and sometimes people who are autistic do better when they live in a residential environment that is more structured than a typical family home.
      As long as we love our children, make sure they are safe and we're doing what is best for an entire family there should be no judgement

      @@raea3588 Yes, that is true. I think the issue with how these parents were told to institutionalise their boys, and what they felt it would equate to as a result, was that they would be going against their gut of what was right for their boys based on what society was telling them was right and necessary for society. So it wasn't what was being said that they were upset about exactly, but the subtext of it, and the reason for it. I can completely understand that, and agree that was pretty monstrous. It doesn't mean it isn't the right solution for some people though, or that there aren't good places and people that benefit from them, or that there aren't right reasons to go down that route. It just was handled really badly in their own particular case, and thus it's good they found a different way.

    honestly this almost made me cry... just to see those boys be so happy. I'm so elated that there are people who actually care on a level that isn't fueled by embarrassment or the need to change their child. seeing them be worked with instead of Changed is just beautiful. so many parents will go through great lengths to "fix" their autistic child by using abusive therapies such as ABA and other coercive treatments and just to see parents that truly want the best for their kids and would be open to encouraging them and realizing that autism isn't a disease that it's just a different way of being. there is no cure, and there doesn't have to be. this is just so refreshing to see, as an autistic person. I hope more people like this get a bigger stage to encourage others to be accepting!

Truly patience and love will change things around. I saw and know how very difficult this situation can be. One was already a challenge, I can only imagine with twins. God bless the parent; I admire them both.

    Oh! As someone with autism as well, it seems to me that they felt isolated in their thinking, which is a extremely difficult experience. When the dad started spinning with them, they felt connected for one of the first times in their life to their parents. It’s kind of hard to put it in to words, but I can imagine the ease they felt when they saw someone who accepted them/ someone who were similar to them. I believe they then began to trust the parents as they accepted the world around them. Profound it is. They never forgot that their sons were as human as them.

We had a school called Truman and it was built for people with disabilities it had the special teachers that had special equipment that they could use.

    02:59 I don't really agree with the parents in this point. Of course I recognize that what they are doing for their boys is just outstanding and amazing. As a special needs teacher I have seen a lot of similar behaviour in (autistic) kids. But sometimes all the love in the world just isn't enough. I don't think parents who make the decision to put their children in residential living are bad parents. Just imagine a single parent, parents living in a small appartement or parents with additional kids having to sacrifice what these parents are sacrificing for their boys. Not everybody has the strenght or ability to do that. And that is completely okay. That is the reason for this institutions to exist. And despite the bad reputation these places are having, the kids will be loved and cared for and they will live a happy and fullfilled life.
    Don't judge anyone until you walked a mile in there shoes.

      I'm glad someone raised that point. Every situation is different. With the twins, the parents can spend all of the time they want, not everyone can.
      My friend's nephew has severe autism and it is destroying the lives of his sisters. The parents focus just on the boy, and to be honest the younger girls are bringing themselves up. No one chooses autism, so deserve the best. However, no one chooses an autistic sibling, and if they have one, then they also deserve the best. Best for the boy, or best for the girls? An horrendous decision to have to make, and I would certainly not consider them to be bad parents if they chose a residential unit for the boy. Unfortunately, the oldest sister is already showing signs of mental illness due to her home life.
      As you rightly say, walk a mile in someone's shoes before you criticise.

      My friend's nephew has severe autism. He is destructive, aggressive, and will never be able to live an independent life, at 15 he still wears nappies.

      It rarely has any effect though, and majority of the time it can actually be very traumatic for the child depending on which center you go to and which "course" you go through. Like this one course that ABA provides, they will starve the child, hold the child to the ground, force them to be touched, force them to keep their eyes open in bright lights no matter how much pain they are in, etc.

    This is quite similar to my son. He's 13 and he's very affectionate to me and to a lesser degree his dad and younger siblings. What's interesting to me is my other kids (aged 1 to 7) have always done the joining in with my son too and you can tell he enjoys it because he feels he's interacting with them in a way he knows. What a lot of people don't realise is that these kids do actually want to be part of the world, they just find it confusing and overwhelming so they don't know how. At any age if people just give them a chance they'll see there are some amazing strengths in them, and when they get to working age if they could be put into a job that suits those strengths they'd blow all their colleagues out the water!

I don’t know what goes on in their household but I honestly worry a lot about him. And he hasn’t been eating like at all and has lost a lot of weight and has dark circles around his eyes and has become even more distant than before and always seems really sad... I worry a lot about him I practically take care of him whenever he comes over... another thing is that her and my uncle fight practically 24/7 their always fighting over the smallest of things... I just honestly worry a lot about him because every time I see him he just looks worst and acts more distant.

    Before reading, a note: all the " are the words neurotypical people would use, I don't like them but it will be easier for you :)
    I am so happy that these parents didn't choose the "easy path". As it is a spectrum, every autistic has a different experience. My cousin, for exemple, his autism is a little "lighter" than the twins, but it doesn't mean he is "easy" too. My autism is very low, so you wouldn't think I am autistic unless we spoke for more than 10 minutes, and even so you would need to pay attention to the specific things. A lot of it has to do with masking, and it was undiagnosed for 18 years, so this is how you know I can "act normal" and go unnoticed. But I am still autistic, and I feel them. I've seen horrific stories about autistic people that can't communicate very well, and seeing this new technique makes me so happy that it can actually help them manage better their feelings and express themselves more.
    There's no such thing as "cure" for autism because it is a disorder, not a disease. But with proper help and resources we can live a normal life (now that's up to you to change your broken perspective of what normal is!) and be happy and enjoy things! It's all up to society understanding differences and embracing them (because no one is equal to anyone, everyone has differences and that's what makes us who we are - not robots, not "perfect", not copies)
