My son wasn't talking at 10 months of age, but he would copy my movements so I decided to teach him sign language although I knew he wasn't deaf. At a year and a half, he could sign anything he wanted to say. I even signed the words as I read stories to him. On his second birthday he yelled out three words, and the party went silent. He had yelled, "I'm too old". Then everyone started laughing. It was a wonderful day for me. I decided to use no more sign language, and not to respond to his. I would put my hand to my ear and say, "What, I can't hear you." It didn't take long, and he was jabbering what sounded like Chinese. For the next three years, I was the only one who could understand him. He's much older now, and talks just fine.
Did all that work my son is 3 and he doesn't want to talk he turns hes face around or pushes me away sometimes he will pay attention but not all the time can you give me some tips please ❤
I want people to know autism is another way of being. I am weary of stereotypes that make us out to be less human than neurotypical people. I have listened to people talk negatively about autism since I was diagnosed and, as a result, I learned to hate myself and think I was a monster for causing so much hardship. I can’t let others continue living under these common misconceptions about autism. Let’s pretend you are like me. You can’t talk, but you have a well-functioning mind and can understand people. Imagine you answer everyone who says something to you, but only you can hear it. Others hear your voice saying things you don’t necessarily mean. They think that’s all you are capable of thinking. People see your repetitive flapping or tapping and they think it serves no purpose. They don’t understand that the minute you stop, the moment is flooded with lights that hum, loud sounds that echo, kids moving too fast for you to keep up with and people trying to engage with you. It is hard on me to put my stimming away, but I try. People see your hyper movement. They prefer you sit quietly. It’s hard for me to feel my body in space, so I prefer to move because I can feel my body better. In school, interesting subjects like math, science, social studies and language arts stimulate my thinking, ease my mind and teach me something about the world. I did not always feel this way. Many years of my life were spent in an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) school. I had to do my drills over and over until I was bored and frustrated with my teachers. Then I would have meltdowns. For me, ABA is not a solution. I experienced long hours meeting goals like pointing to flashcards and pointing to my own nose. I believe people need to be able to set their own goals. No person should be without a voice. I believe in teaching communication first. Meaningful communication means being able to say what I want to say. People must believe we are capable and that our minds are intact. My parents have been great. They support me by communicating to others about autism and me. They play. They make my life as normal as possible. I peacefully make friends now. I learn normally. My school values me, and I make my own goals. I feel loved when I am accepted. I feel loved when I am seen not by my momentary deficits but by my attributes that make me a complete person. I think living with autism is no better or worse than living a typical life. Each life is special in its own way. I love my life with autism. - Sixth grader with non-verbal autism. Link: themighty.com/2015/04/i-have-nonverbal-autism-heres-what-i-want-you-to-know/
@@tox9222 as a person with autism: actually having autism isn’t “torture” for us. It’s how everyone else who doesn’t have autism treats us. How they make us stop stimming or make us make eye contact. Most of these therapies that “fix us” are very harmful to autistic people. So please… don’t cry because your child is tormented by autism. Cry because of how this society treats her because of her autism.
0.46 "choosing not to speak" I have it myself and I'll say that I would love to speak and it's frustrating me that I'm still unable to and I'm 14 it's ruining my life maybe do your research first before you say things
You write and communicate. You will excel you just focus on it. It will empower you. I bet you can draw and Express yourself in many other ways Dont give up yet. You are too young. I belief in you.!!!
you r a blessing, you will help others. Right now please be grateful that you can communicate through writing. My brother who's 12 now cannot even communicate through writing. we'd be so happy if he at least get to that stage . . . please dont give up
I've worked with children with a few different developmental disorders. I think this extreme end of the autistic spectrum is quite a tough area because sadly, despite intelligence being otherwise normal, the ability to communicate verbally just never develops. They can understand your speech and body language perfectly well, it's just quite difficult to interpret the way they are communicating back because there's no clear words, just sounds and maybe some hugging or hitting.
I have either high functioning autism or Aspergers. My cousin has Aspergers, but it is more severe than mine in a few aspects. I understand how frustrating it is to not be able to get people to understand what you want.
Ok so: ASD or autism, is the same thing as Aspergers. They are the same disorder. Autism is a spectrum, and no two autistic people will have the same traits. Asperger’s stopped being a valid diagnosis in the 90s. It’s just varying levels of ASD
My son struggles on talking sometimes 😪 he can only say mama or dada he does try but then he gets sad he can't say things what can i do and easy tips please
selective mutism isn't a choice. I don't choose when to speak or who I talk to. Your making people with selective mutism sound like thire doing it on purpose I have a brain disorder I'm not giving people the silent treatment. You really need to do your research before you judge.
I had autism when I was young and it made it hard for me to talk and engage in social conversations. Usually, I would be alone most of the time but at times I did wish I'd have a girlfriend who accepts me just for who I am.
I have two brothers with ASD, but one has Asperger like symptoms. I see how difficult it can be for him to joke around & be social with his friends. Autism doesn't define you.
I have Selective Mutism! I do not choose to not speak! Please don’t spread that misinformation! My anxiety is so high i cannot speak! Please correct this video
There's an incredible difference. Non verbal autism it either takes an extremely long time to learn to talk or they don't at all. Shyness has nothing to do with that, it's just being nervous. I'm very shy and I still can talk well.
Parents are confused that there child is. Non verbal so They can go to the oai autism Pedicraitions office or the uconn speech office and make there child speak if a child is not speaking then they Should be a picky eater and they can't run of talk they can walk slowly. They would also wear baby diapers. Or pull ups They could go to the uconn speech building to use a grammor voice Mrs Ziko Mrs brown and other ones are speech in elemantray and middle schools in Connecticut
What you wrote makes no sense like I feel like you shouldn't be aloud on the internet until you learn how to use grammar and words in a way that makes sense

This made me cry thinking of what my daughters going through
We are less human that's just the way it is
Thank you, so much this gave me a better understanding. My daughter is non verbal with autism as well.

*sigh* That's not what selective mutism is. Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder, not because they're choosing not to speak.

ghost crystal not quite the same, but I have select mutism... most of the time it shows around the time of panic attacks
Then you don’t have selective mutism. She’s a specialist and educated. Voluntary communication is selective mutism.
Taking an empathic communicator and pairing with a nonverbal works exceptionally well if a rapport is established.
I had autism when I was young and it made it hard for me to talk and engage in social conversations. Usually, I would be alone most of the time but at times I did wish I'd have a girlfriend who accepts me just for who I am.
cheers up bro...
someday she will come...
You will bro don't worry boutbit
Thanks guys. You're the best.
I have two brothers with ASD, but one has Asperger like symptoms. I see how difficult it can be for him to joke around & be social with his friends. Autism doesn't define you.
Emily Oster I may have had Asperger's syndrome a little. I haven't been able to take many jokes told to me.
Those kids are much happier than we are. We can learn from them
How would you know that?
(And I do realise that this comment is from 2 years ago)
We’re happy until we get thrown into therapy to be normal 😂
I don’t have non verbal autism NVA but I stammer so much to the point to where I can almost not speak
I have ASD (autism)
It’s a spectrum 🎉
I have Selective Mutism! I do not choose to not speak! Please don’t spread that misinformation! My anxiety is so high i cannot speak! Please correct this video
She won’t. She’s a neurotypical who has no idea how neurodivergency works
I wonder if the doctor could discuss hyperlexia in relation to autism sometime. I'd be interested to hear her opinions on the subject.
Stopped listening the moment she said that selective mutism is a choice 😤
SAME! Pissed me off so bad. Literally autism speaks type 💩
Those shoulder pads though😂
What is the difference between non-verbal autism and common shyness?
Non verbal is where you physically can't talk, or do not have the skills to. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a choice
There's an incredible difference. Non verbal autism it either takes an extremely long time to learn to talk or they don't at all. Shyness has nothing to do with that, it's just being nervous. I'm very shy and I still can talk well.
Nonverbal autism is autism. Which means the brain is wired differently. It can CAUSE shyness. But shyness itself is not autism
Can u help me my son is autism can u contact me ple
Hi I have autism, what do you need to know? Trust me, this woman’s explanation of selective mutism was horrid. She would be horrible for your child
