“She said a word, Stop calling her nonverbal”
So many people don’t understand Autism or what it means to be nonverbal/nonspeaking and have echolalia. So I’ll try my best to explain it in a way to help you understand.
Nonverbal autism means your child may not talk at all or may talk very little, only learning a few words or phrases in their lifetime. At the age of 3, Mikko does not understand most words at all. And has only ever said about 3 words withOUT prompt.
Children on the autism spectrum use echolalia because they learn language different. Typical developing children tend to begin learning language by first understanding and using single words, and then they gradually string them together to make phrases and sentences.
Children on the autism spectrum often follow a different route. Their first attempts at language may be longer “chunks” of language (phrases or sentences), which they are not able to break down into smaller parts. These chunks are more grammatically complicated than they could put together themselves, and they don’t understand what the individual words mean.
It’s ok not to understand something, but there are books and google to help you instead of telling a parent that they don’t know anything about their own child, as if you do. It’s dismissive and condescending. This is precisely why people are finding out they are Autistic as adults because some parents are in denial. Autism is not normal but it’s NOT wrong, it’s just different ❤️💙💛💚
{disclaimer 🚨 i didnt notice signs of Autism when she was a baby, i just noticed she was different}
Autism is usually diagnosed after 18months***

She is blessed to have you all as parents!!
She is blessed to be born in a world that Breeds in Understanding….unlike the world of the 70’s-racist & bullying by even the teachers! Let alone the parents!!!
❤
Yup!!!!
i Love baby ❤️❤️
You are blessed to have her ❤
My favorite analogy regarding autism is "It's not a programming glitch, it's a different operating system." I use it when my coworkers are misunderstanding something happening with an autistic kid. When you stop trying to push them into the way YOUR brain works, everyone's lives get a lot easier.
That’s a great analogy! My personal favorite is cats and dogs- I’m not a defective dog, I’m a cat and there’s nothing wrong with that ☺️❤️
Thank you. I'm going to be using this a lot for myself as well as my 2 autistic kids.
Being a systems engineer, I love this 😂
Awesome analogy! I have 2 autistic boys and both operate differently. Most of the world may be Windows OS while my oldest is Mac and my youngest is Linux 😂
Beautiful beautiful beautiful analogy, thank you for sharing
As an autistic adult this made me very happy. I love to see parents working with their autistic children instead of against them 🫶
Same and same 🥰 I’m an autistic mum with 2 autistic and nonspeaking kiddos (twins), this video made me smile
Same here - and that child is so beautiful!
Love the fact you are educating people who have no clue what autism is and how autistic children learn, at the end of the day we are all different and learn in different ways, you are doing great and she is blessed to have you x
Shes such a beautiful baby 😭 I wish you and her much happiness 😭
And the church said Amen
Amen 🙏🏽 ♥️ @@lisaboyle72
Yeah I cried 😢
My Nephew is autistic, didn’t talk until he was about 2.5 but was always very attentive to anything that had alphabets. When he was close to 3, he started reading words. We thought he was reciting nursery rhymes so we would write random words down and he would say them. Yup, during the almost 3 years of not “learning to speak” he taught himself to read. God doesn’t make mistakes.
Amen
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Yes he did because why not watch that boys gonna change the world!
He seems delayed with speaking, and that is normal.
For anyone struggling with a young one on the spectrum: My autistic daughter is happily married now, and holds down an ok (if below her intellectual capacity) job. She has two close friends and a nice wider group. She paints, sings, and acts brilliantly in amateur dramatics. She has a great life. You can't have a proper chat with her, but that's ok. Everyone's different and life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. When I struggled with her 20 tantrums a day, her kicking and punching, the screams, the poor eating, the doctors, speech therapists and psychologists, I'd never have believed things would turn out this well. Stay positive!
Thank you so much for sharing, it is so inspiring. So happy for you. 🙏🏼
You clearly don't know anything about autism
Thank you.
thanks for your sharing dear
Thank God you overcame all the struggles.
Autism or not - she’s a blessing. Never stop loving her 😊
Bless her heart! She is beautiful. She just needs patience and LOVE! You got this!
She is absolutely precious!! 😊
How sweet and precious is she.
This was my son. It was a long journey which cost me my marriage, but it was worth it! Today my son has 3 masters degrees, in top universities, is currently doing his PhD, lived in China for a bit, speaks four languages fluently, worked for 2 major space corporations, and has just landed a fantastic job, working for the government of Rwanda! Acceptance, love, understanding, and vital information is the key! I now work with adults on thee spectrum, which has its own challenges, but I wouldn't give it up; my son's story is the reason why.....
God bless her! Jesus loves her!
@@bellajardini7614 that’s great, your son is a genius.
Precious???
As a PK Autism teacher, this absolutely MELTED my heart. As teachers, we only have these precious babies for a small window of their development, but I am always in awe of what they are capable of at such a tender age.
Early intervention is key, but early intervention *with* intentional support and consistent application at home makes all the difference!! Families like yours make what we do possible from within the walls of a school, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. You are doing great momma ♡
I was just talking about how in education, we look for signs of regression in early childhood and we see a lot at the Early childhood stage because there are parents that actually don't understand that it is what they were eating when they were pregnant and it is what they are feeding their child or not feeding their child. In looking at this video, I was noticing how verbal she was in the beginning and then I could see that gradual verbal regression....
Thank you for your service 💜🙏🏾💜🙏🏾
I had a GF once, she had a daughter Brit, it was very obvi that there was something serious wrong with her. But I almost feel it in my bones if her mother had just gotten off her lazy butt (I'm sorry but she did everything to keep having "her" fun and the beautiful red haired baby was actually growing into a huge problem. I babysat her and like I said I had been friends. I would her screaming every day not wanting to go to school just a big drama, i walked down there and could get her in the car np. It still angers me. I really think she could have had a much life with mental skills and emotional skills. 😢
Thank you for all you do❤
As an autistic person I hate how you worded this. “Early intervention” for what?! To “stop autism”?! That’s not how autism works! We don’t need early intervention we just need understanding and support. Autism isn’t a sickness. It’s part of who people are. This is why I don’t trust Autism teachers, so many of you use weird language to describe us and don’t see us how we need to be seen.
It’s so interesting that she could be so talkative into her being practical non verbal. I have nothing other to say than I find it genuinely interesting, how that works
My grandson was the same way
@@lemuriabunting8076 This is completely disproven and the originally study was only ever released because a couple of parents wanted to sue a company which made vaccines. Regression is very common in autistic children. Do not let fear mongering and conspiracy theories stop you from getting your kids vaccinated for their safety and the health of those who are immunocompromised.
I wonder did things change after the final round of immunizations
@@TheDrkjgMMR
Yeah you would never guess she would become non verbal when she was a small baby.
She is so precious ❤❤❤ She is so adorable and highly favored to have you as her mother.
My girl started to talk at 4+ years old. She was saying words but she wasn't connecting them. Otherwise she was developing nicely so I didn't worry. Now, at 5 years old, she speaks well our language and she is learning English. She is doing great!
Yours will be good too! Have faith! God bless you! 💕
And my boy he is about to turn 5this March but still he haven't talk in sentence he understood everything and learn everything but it just that he don't know how to have a conversation with us am so worried 😢
@@nothing-ht7xb can he sing? Can you teach him? You will be surprised that it does miracles! Be patient, be strong! God bless you!

I raised 4 children on the spectrum, it was hard for me as I didn’t know anything about autism back then, they are all grown now and 3 still live at home, I like to believe I did the best I could as a single mum, bless you and your beautiful baby, you’re doing a wonderful job ❤
Please hit a like for this real superheroine.
You, my dear, have also done a great job! Single mom? That’s quite a blessing they’ve had with you as their mom!! Blessings!❤❤❤

@@marilynsimmons2560don’t pay any attention to Emilie cuz he’s bald
She is adorable. She has so much personality
Autistic people are some of the most sincere and loyal people on this earth! You are very blessed to have such a beautiful girl!
Late diagnosed autistic female here. You're doing great. Throughout the ups and downs, she will be glad to have you and you to have her. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 💛🌻
I used to work with autistic children. They are a blessing. Once you figure out their triggers and how they communicate. They will be fine. Adorable.
Very well put! I also worked with autistic people, and you hit the nail on the: the triggers their wants their needs
Dude yes! At the end of the day, they still have the same needs as any of us, just gotta do a lil digging to find their language
My daughter had autism and has no triggers or aggressions. She struggles with receptive and expressive language. 😢 She is only 3 but is totally non verbal. She started ABA a few months ago and it is helping. We hope she can talk one day.
I work with autistic children now and it’s the absolute best and most rewarding job I have ever had.
@@Andrea-ym9jjI teach ABA and the growth I see is so amazing. She is absolutely going to be great. She has her own language ,she doesn’t need words to converse with you, you will understand what I mean by saying that ❤
Her hair is so gorgeous!
It’s interesting how the symptoms of autism display differently in many across the spectrum. I’m 25 and only just recently got my diagnosis. My childhood came up, and turns out with speech, writing, and reading I was advanced- but when it came to my motor skills, I was always really behind. I still have pretty awful balance as an adult LOL, but I didn’t walk until almost 2, I didn’t crawl like other babies (I didn’t use my legs or knees at all, I just dragged myself around with my elbows LOL) and I was super clumsy (still am lol). I also never cried when I hurt myself (pain tolerance gang I guess) and didn’t cry when getting shots or ANYTHING, my mom told the therapist she thought I was just an easy baby but didn’t consider that I didn’t really respond to pain, that makes sense today too because as an adult I just kinda dissociate when getting a tattoo and convince myself it’s not that bad. Also going with social skills, while I wasn’t nonverbal, I was pretty oblivious and would say pretty socially inappropriate things sometimes and not know what was wrong until I learned from others how to kinda read the room. It’s still hard and I get anxious and overthink what I say before I say it, but I was bullied super hard in grade school.
There’s just so many different ways autism can display, and so many opposite sides of the symptoms in us. A few years ago when I thought I might have it, I told my psychotherapist (who diagnosed me with everything else under the sun, so I suspected they might have been false and were mostly just traits of autism) that I thought I might be autistic, and he was just like, “what? You can’t be autistic! If you were you couldn’t speak to me right now!” And I was FLABBERGASTED. Not only did I need my mom with me in the room the first few months to get comfortable enough to talk to this man, but even if I didn’t, all my best friends throughout my life were also on the spectrum, and most of them were pretty verbal, especially when it came to our special interests we would talk about for hours and hours.
I told my new autism therapist about that and she was also flabbergasted. I’m very grateful that there’s more research and resources now. I wish instead of just telling me I was bipolar when I was a child we had the tools we have today to actually explore the spectrum and diagnose people. I feel so behind at age 25 still living with my parents. I don’t drive because it either gives me sensory overload or makes me dissociate. On the bright side I have the first job I’ve been able to hold for longer than a couple months, going on 3 years there now, and I have a boyfriend, also the first I’ve been with so long- things are looking up, but I wish I started my life longer ago and was diagnosed earlier to get the help and accommodations I needed to thrive.
Thank you for sharing her story and being an amazing parent so she can have what she needs. Navigating a world built for allistic people as an autistic person is frightening, and is even more frightening and stressful if nobody realizes you’re autistic and puts you down for having needs they don’t understand or a brain that just works a little differently, so thank you for recognizing her needs so she can grow up understanding she isn’t weird or a burden or wrong for being born who she is- she is going to grow up happy, taken care of, listened to, and also in a world where autism is more understood so she can have better control of her life and be happy.
You are brave and strong beautiful soul 💞 I hope you will have a great future 💟🙏🏻
Took me five years to start talking, but I haven’t gone mute since 2018.
I can’t tell you how important it is to her that you’re willing to go to her level and try and understand her. Being unable to speak or find the words to express your needs is beyond frustrating. She knows how much love you give her, without a doubt you’re a wonderful and dedicated mother. Never stop doing what you’re doing becuase you’re that little girl’s whole life. ❤️
This is motivating. My nephew will be 5 but don't talk yet
@@amarasarah9332 There’s also a chance he’ll never learn. Though, you could also try simple sign language.
After I FINALLY got the diagnosis I was so happy/relieved I was sharing the news with everyone that had been on the journey with me. A friend of a friend overheard me talking about how long I had to fight/wait for an assessment. He asked me why I pushed so hard did I "want her [my daughter] to have Autism?" I was pissed and said "She already has it, putting off testing doesn't make it go away. Getting a diagnosis is how I can get the resources in place she needs." I wouldn't change my daughter for the world, she is amazing and perfect in my eyes. She lights up every room she goes into. Giving her the resources she needs makes her life a little easier (and safer) and that's what I fought for.
❤❤❤
Beautiful ❤
You go mama! She's blessed to have you in her corner 🥰
The diagnosis gives answers for so many questions and guilt we have
Proverbs 27:11
Be wise and make my heart rejoice "
For all you do, and we think our lives are difficult,
our prayers are with all who show us what we ought to be. keep holding on
... just a little while longer.....😮
She’s adorable! My son just turned 6 and I got teary eyes watching. Her journey is almost the exact same as my sons. He used to be so vocal then completely stopped. He tapped and reached my hand out for when he wanted something, that was his way of communicating. But man oh man are these kiddos so smart! Thank you for sharing her journey 😊
Give her fresh camel milk to drink for at least 2 weeks. It should help towards recovery. Autism is basically the brain being inflamated by some poison, toxin, heavy metal and so on. It seems camel milk has the property to help the brain cleanse itself. And you probably took her to the doctor to get her the scheme... right? Stop doing that. That's where the autism comes from.
what a beautiful, sweet very angelic child. Wow. Bless her heart. ❤
She is so beautiful ❤
Autism is very difficult to diagnose that it causes frustration for both children and parents.
Early intervention is so important -
Very true with my experience
That is so true. My diagnosis came way too late at around 12 where I had been experiencing bullying for being different (and then started masking), a lot of fear for the world and untreated anxiety, I go selectively mute a lot and got in trouble because I couldn't say anything in my defense. I also got undiagnosed depression.
Later we also found out I have anxiety (probably severe honestly)and ocd (usually mild but in stressful times and of uncertainty it would get very bad)
Not intervention, support and stopping the trauma from the neurotypical World from hurting autistic people.
Go eff yourself, “early intervention” you can’t “stop autism”. It’s not a curse or an entirely bad thing. It’s just how someone’s brain is, that doesn’t mean they need fixing or are less than. As an autistic person you stink for that.
We don’t need intervention we need understanding and support !
@@illiengalene2285period exactly
She’s beautiful ❤. You’re an excellent mom!
That was my daughter when she was a baby ❤ she was diagnosed with Autism at 3. Thank you for sharing this. It’s amazing to feel so connected to another mother with an amazingly beautiful baby.
I love to see supportive parents of autistic children! I am autistic and seeing parents like you makes me feel so hopeful!
My daughter has autism and adhd .She is 19, and I can't lie it was a hard road. The hardest thing is having to deal with people's perceptions.❤
Please know as much as possible about both disorders! I have both and it's crushing that my family keeps telling me to stop doing things I cannot control.. I always get so mad that no one understands me and all I want to do is live alone and not talk to anyone or do anything.. I'm so tired and all I do is watch TV because it's the only thing that doesn't trigger my rage or sadness. I am frustrated and annoyed that my loved ones can't be bothered to look up autism for even 5 minutes.. please let her have a better mental health than me ✨️
she’s beautiful keep loving her mom💙🙏🏽
You are so gentle with your daughter. You love her. You are a Blessed mother. Don't ever give up. Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤.
My youngest kid has the most classical autism signs out of the four of us, thanks for posting these videos. Me and my oldest two are autistic, but it is a more mild expression so I am grateful for the different perspective!
My middle didn't start talking until she was 3-4 but now she has a very complex vocabulary. I thought she was going to be nonverbal but she seems to express herself the best out of all four of us!

My boys were the same way. About 18 months is when I started noticing they were changing. It’s so sad to watch your kids go through but I tell you what my boys are blessings. They teach me stuff everyday ❤ she is a precious baby mama keep up the good work. Autism mama strong 💪
I'm going to be the one! At 18 months, my grandson got the MMR vaccination. He ran a fever, stopped making eye contact, stopped speaking, started walking on his toes and stemming. Non-verbal for 11 years now, but too intelligent for his own good. Figured out how to go on the cloud and download his favorite programs on an iPad by the time he was 3. We had to password protect everything to keep him from buying whatever he wanted. He bypassed most of the tantrums, but he was a runner and an escape artist, we endured the stares of people who thought we were cruel for leashing him. We used GPS tags in his clothes so that we knew where he was at all times. Had to give him swimming lessons because he loves water. Great swimmer now. He's better than a lot of adults. He is my pride and joy. Just learned how to tie his shoes last year in July. Unscrambling his neurons is my daily task. Thanking God that we can!
@@sonjaanderson2586 It wasn't the vaccine you just see more of the symptoms of autism during the same age the MMR vaccines are recommended for.

Read my comment above
She's so cute. Very lucky to have you as Mama.
I love that you all began finding other ways to communicate when she couldnt talk, amazing parenting! Always letting her feel heard!
Watching your story helped me understand the signs and I got the diagnosis for my daughter early. Thank you for your story! Will continue to watch and support!
Can you mention your signs?
Allot of the "signs" she mentioned arent signs at ALL. Parents they look and justify things.
She is beautiful! My younger brother (35 y/o, 6’7” younger brother) is autistic and I have learned more from him than any human on earth. He is still pretty much non verbal but so observant and his silence speaks volumes! Your daughter is blessed to have such loving parents! You go SUPERMOM!!!
What a beautiful, courageous, strong, resiliant amazing little girl you are raising mom, the bond you have with your little angel whether its verbal or non verbal is a force to be reckoned with!....you both should be so proud of yourselves.....❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
She’s so beautiful
She's absolutely beautiful!
It's very good that you got the autism diagnosis early, because there is so much you can do to help her now and get her the services she may need.
Enjoy your lovely sweetheart. ❤
I have an autistic brother nonverbal whose turning 16 in April. I love him dearly and it melts my heart seeing autistic kids have loving families who does right by them. Thank you 🥹
No matter how big they get, n older they become they still had this pureness in everything they did❤❤❤
I have a sister with autism she's also age 3 ( but autism is a different kind of ability)
I also have a brother with autism he is turning 11 in june

My friend's little boy did exactly the same, he spoke at an early age, then just stopped, he's doing good now he's 15-16 and he's very caring towards his siblings.
She is a treasure and her laugh is contagious. ❤
Wow, ..exactly the same with my grandson... he was soooooo alert, responding to my voice at 6 weeks old, and seemed to want to talk before he turned 1yr...literally could hear him say, "where's my momma" when she walked out the room before a year old.... he's almost 4 yrs and woke up one day and started talking and stopped hand leading...I pray it's as simple as that for you soon❤

I can see that joy when she started repeating after you! ❤ you are one great momma
At first we talked short and clear sentences. Like hot, dirty, good, nutricious, eat, shower, pee, etc. Then two words statement like "good protein, beautiful book, etc
Dont only say "no or dont" that word frustated them. They actually a good listener and very smart. Thats my experience,

My youngest Son Jacob is on the Spectrum. He's just like Mikko. He was doing all sorts of Baby talk. He was expressive and his babbling was different with each of his siblings. He even started saying some words. He said Mommy and Baby. He would say," B B Baby." I was so happy. Then it was like someone turned on a switch and everything changed. He made sounds, no talking. He can imitate sounds but he still doesn't talk or say words. I just pray one day he starts talking.
Hi Melinda, sounds like you have a beautiful son! It’s interesting how you say there’s a switch, as if when they gain a certain consciousness or awareness of this world it creates a barrier. The human brain is so extremely complex, but we know one thing for sure, language comes and changes throughout history, but the language of Love is eternal. I’m sure your son feels your Love and you feel his Love too, with or without words. God bless! 🙏🏻
Could be the vaccinations
I totally agree with you @@journeyofasister
Yeah, my nephew was completely "neural-normal" until he had his 2 year old vaccinations. It's sad because all of us that have experienced this fact are relegated to "those anti-vaxxers" when in actual fact, we just want to have the effects Studied and understood! To prevent others from suffering this damage, not brushed away and aside as just some conspiracy nut jobs. We are Real people, with Real lives, loving Real children who have been damaged.
@sissinoklahoma2057 The effects have been studied and understood. The "vaccines cause autism" garbage was perpetuated by A SINGLE MAN who worked for a different vaccination company than the one popularly used. He used autism as a scapegoat to push his other vaccination method. That's it. That's the whole story.
Thank you for opening and sharing your beautiful daughter journey with us❤❤❤❤
She is so adorable. My oldest spoke rarely before the age of 4. She could completely block out anyone she didn't want to speak to. At 4 she was tested for 8 hours and Vanderbilt's Children's Hospital by a pediatrician, speech pathologist, social worker, and another specialist I can't think of right now. Her speech was on the level of a 2 1/2 year old and showed red flags for Pervasive Development Disorder (a form of Autism). At 6 we repeated the testing, much to the joy of the staff who usually doesn't get to follow up. At that point she had enough speech to get an IQ test. She had a 42 point gap between verbal and performance IQ (normally only a few points difference. They told us she did not have autism but all the signs were from language disorder. They didn't have a full diagnosis or suggestions other than keep doing what you are doing and suggesting
Some books. While reading one of them I took it into the school and told them test her for this, this is my child. We were very lucky to find out the head of the Bill Wilkerson Hearing Center at Vanderbilt was one of the top in the nation for Central Auditory Disorder (basically an auditory dyslexia, what is said and what she hears are not the same). She was diagnosed with a severe case. She was the first in our county to be put in headphones while the teacher wore a microphone. This cut out residual noise enabling her to understand the teacher. They still gave us a list of things "she would never be able to do". She got mad when they cut her spelling words to half the other kids so we told them to have her do the same and only modify if she could truly not do something instead of if it was hard. They told us she would need more and more resource class over the years. She didn't ever need it. She had to work harder than others, but she now has an Associate and Bachelor's degree as a Special Education Teacher and had a wonderful relationship with her students.
This little girl is going to be just fine.❤ She’s in the best possible hands. This mama is just incredible.😍
The truth is in many cases its hard to tell at times when they're babies which is why many go un noticed especially if person isn't familiar with autism. My daughter was actually diagnosed at the the age of 2. Mika is such an amazing soul with an amazing personality love watching her progress, you keep advocating mom your doing a great job especially with the strength and struggles you too face with personal situation but that doesn't stop you for pushing forward with baby girl and you. 💯💪🙏 You're an amazing mother never question it. I know the struggle at times of having a child who struggles but it also has its rewarding times too, it will all get better as she grows and learns to better express her wants and needs. 🙏♥️ God bless you and rest of family you guys are blessed to have one another and she has a great support system so that always helps too.
Your love and attention is everything. Bless you.
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
Mikko is so sweet. God bless your familly.
She's blessed to have a wonderful, loving and caring mother like you ❤
She is so precious and beautiful.
Oh my goodness, that precious baby girl has been so very beautiful every second of her life...
She is beautiful and is going to change the world❣️🌸❣️
She is so beautiful. This video mirrors exactly how my son was and exactly the same sounds. He also said mama at 2. He is 7 now and talks a lot. They are amazing in every single way. I love being apart of my son’s world he makes it that extra bit special. ❤
Did you do speech therapies and at what age did you start? Did you do a regular school or had a special school for him? Kindly help, we're at 3yrs almost 4,speech delay n I'm at the crossroads😢@leahneema87
@@florencekidotu5233 hi, yes he did do speech therapy and also social communication groups. He didn’t start speaking properly until he was 4 almost 5. He speaks a lot now but still got a long way to go as he isn’t always clear but has definitely come a long way. He goes to a regular mainstream school and has come on leaps and bounds. He can read, he can do maths ect….. just hang in there all will come in time. I didn’t think this was ever going to happen but it has. If you can get help from your GP it’s a good start.
She's absolutely precious
She reminds me so much of my little nephew! He’s 1 nearly 2 with very similar symptoms. Thank you for sharing these videos with the world 💜
I relate to these kids but I wish my mom was as calm as you. You are really good with her and I truly respect this way of parenting
I was the same way as a baby, babbling a lot and very expressive. I was "fluent" in sign language by seven months and mostly used that to communicate, plus hand leading. I said my first word at two and then stopped talking for a while. Once I did again, it was in full sentences.
It is EXTREMELY common for babies to be very vocal, it is easy for them to learn sign language AND ONLY use it as it is a easy read to communicate
Such a beautiful child. Clearly she is loved. May she have a healthy, happy life!❤
She is absolutely gorgeous
So cute! Wish her all the best!
I am so happy that you are taking us on a journey. I just love her.😅
Look at this little beautiful princess… her yellow dress is soooo adorable 💕💕
She's absolutely beautiful and a blessing ❤
What a beautiful little lady with a strong, supportive, encouraging family. Great job mom.😊❤
I once heard someone say "It's not a disability it's a different ability!" - I think it's quite fitting for many people!
She's such a gorgeous girl and you're all lucky to have each other!
It is a disability, though, and it comes with many struggles, like being easily overstimulated, struggling to read facial expressions and issues when it comes to emotional regulation.
Disability is not a dirty word and it acknowledges the support needs that come with having ASD. "Different ability" feels extremely patronizing.
Sincerely, a person with ADHD, another disability that people love to downplay, who is waiting for an autism assessment.
@@beardiemomthankyou so much for this!!! i wish more people would understand this sentiment, it would make things so much easier for me
She's such a sweet beautiful baby and little girl. Just adorable blessed to have good parents ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just have to say how incredibly beautiful this little sweetheart is xxx
Its so amazing to hear someone say that theyre happy for the diagnosis because then you knew how to help. The real disability is not getting the support, something she'll know she always has❤
Everyone is perfectly imperfect..."normal" is just a setting on the washing machine...sooo much love for all of you...her laugh is pure magic❤❤❤❤😊❤❤
Perfectly imperfect......
Great comment!
I am 70 and awaiting diagnosis and already I am benefitting from having discovered why I am different to Neurotypical people.
I am doing away from masking, finding out who my true friends are, adjusting my frustrations such as knowing when to walk away or stop seeing people who try to change me. My marriage is stronger because we know better 'why' and 'how'.
There is so much help available now especially as it is becoming known more that there are degrees of how autistic a person may be and how many people are autistic.
My working life was hell, being a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. I could not understand why I could not fit in and neither could the NT people.
I am so glad we are all beginning on a journey of acceptance (on both sides), and hopefully we can all live better loving lives side by side.
C'est ce que je dis de mon fils quand je parle de lui, il est imparfaitement parfait ❤
She so cute! I believe she will overcome it! 🙏🏽
What a beautiful babydoll she is. God blessed you and her with each other. Prayers for her future to be full of love light and God’s blessings❤️🙏🏻
My 4 year old grandson was nonverbal for almost a year. He started speech therapy and it made a dramatic difference! He is very verbal now 😊. He's in school too. He takes occupational therapy because he has a issue with textures. He only likes crunchy stuff. Keep up the good work ❤
Well ur lucky some kids are nonverbal for lifetime or a very long time..
@@jillting1852 he was nonverbal for a long time. He could still communicate his needs to us. He started speech therapy around 2 and half years old. He's doing great now. He has to take occupational therapy too. He has a 6 yr old cousin who's nonverbal.
My son only likes crunchy stuff too. He has a terrible eating pallet.
@@tinyking11 does your child like to drink hot or cold liquids? My 15 yr old son is the same way. He seems to only like plain white rice and fresh fruit and vegetables. His diet is healthy. He's 5' 8" and 98 lbs 🤦🏾♀️.... he has been eating healthy since he was 2 yrs old, due to a heart condition.
@@malindasanders15 My son is 3. I haven’t introduced him to hot drinks yet. He loves room temperature & cold drinks.
She is so beautiful ❤ and you guys are amazing and I commend you for your hard work and dedication to your family. God Bless you and your family to the fullest. 😊
She’s just so precious and sweet. 🥰
She's so beautiful.
These comments are beautiful and encouraging! We're still trying to figure out my grandsons diagnosis but God ALWAYS has the last word 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Give him fresh camel milk to drink for at least 2-3 weeks. It should help towards recovery. Autism is basically the brain being inflamated by some poison, toxin, heavy metal and so on. It seems camel milk has the property to help the brain cleanse itself. And you probably took him to the doctor to get him the scheme... right? Stop doing that. That's where the autism comes from.
She is just so adorable ❤ God bless you Mikko ❤
She is a beautiful child❤ She will be fine with a mother like you ❤️
I went through this path with my daughter! All I can say is don't give up and stay strong! ❤
she is growing up in a world that is so much wider and more understanding than the one i grew up in.
I'm sorry you didn't get that. 💚
Precious pretty Baby Girl❤🎉
Beautiful sweet girl. Challenges and contrasts teach us so much about life
If she ain’t the cutest thing ever!!! Omg! What a pretty baby ❤❤
She is a beautiful little girl and blessed to have you as her parents. ❤
