Thank you Amanda for your open and honest account of living with Jessie and her Autism. I too have an Aspie (Asperger Syndrome) son, he is now 34. So I can relate to all you said. I can honestly say, that having my son and having to learn to understand, accept and support him, was the biggest challenge of my life and, it is an experience that i wouldn't have missed for the World. Despite all the heartbreak and fights I have had to take on to get my son the help he needed, it has been an experience that has made me a better person. Sadly, unlike you with your super partner who stands by you and Jessie, my first husband was totally disappointed in his son, any problems were thrown back at my face with the comment "well, you wanted a child". Took me a few years, but eventually I got shot of the heartless B*****d. Our Aspie's are wonderful humans, and like Jessie, my son has a wicked sense of humour. He is very talented, loves working with his hands, never academic, but he excels in so many other ways. He is a joy to know and love. He has enriched my life. My second husband gets along with my son famously, always ready to support him. In fact, knowing my husband and his life story, I wouldn't be surprised if he himself was on the Autistic Spectrum. Sadly, never diagnosed and never received the support he so much needed, being a 1943 baby, they were sadly labelled as stupid and was often called out in school for being disruptive.
It's true we have to learn and grow so we can support them. But knowing them is worth it. They are the most loving and caring. Your son is lucky to have the support you and your now husband give him. I think there are a lot of people who if tested would be on the spectrum. I imagine it was a hard time to grow up.
i don't know how anyone could find this video boring!!!! Thank you to you and Jessie for sharing your story. It moved be so much. On a lighter, but relatable note, between the actual autistic person, and the possibly autistic person in this house, the inability to make decisions is ridiculous! Our biggest arguments are over who is deciding what's for tea!!! xx
@@amandaprice7608 I do that when I'm shopping, and I generally shop online, cos I find it less overwhelming. But then sometimes we don't what we've got in, and we generally get more than we need for one night, so that's when it hits!
I can only talk for myself. I thought it time that people saw It from a parent, carers view and hopefully help others to understand that a bit more patients can help a lot. Also that autism comes with a lot of other problems.
@@amandaprice7608 I visited your UA-cam channel and found some problems; your channel needs to grow due to these problems. Your content quality is very good and you are putting a lot of time and effort behind your channel but not getting good results. Because you need to do complete SEO optimization on your videos. So your videos are not ranking on UA-cam and Google. So if you want to bring subscribers to the channel and views to the videos then you must SEO optimize the videos with targeted keywords related to your content. Your video SEO score is very low. SEO optimization is very important for your channel to increase subscribers, views, likes, and comments. Also, you can turn on channel monetization by completing watch time and subscribers of your channel

Yeah I can see that as being hard. We make a weekly/monthly list of what we want for tea. It helps a lot.

I'm wondering why so many of the You Tubers talking about autism who are autistic themselves are from the UK? It seems most of them are.
