Thank you guys so much for your patience in me making this video I know it has been three months since I last discussed Domonic possibly having autism but you guys have been his biggest cheerleaders and we love you so much. Thank you guys for making this process so much easier and for excepting Domonic as he is I cannot wait until Domonic realizes how much love he has around the world we truly appreciate you guys and for every autism parent out there you are truly amazing and so are our children. Keep striving for the best! #ProudAutismParent #AutismAwareness
Different not less. I have 2 autistic girls. High functioning. My oldest is 7 and didn't start talking until she was 5. My now 5 yr old has speech delay as well
I’m sooo happy he was diagnosed early. I have a 15 year old non-verbal autistic son. He wasn’t diagnosed until 4 1/2 and I feel we lost so much time. He will be fine. God only gives special children to special parents. It will be challenging but you will be fine. Support groups help also. I’m willing to listen as well.. prayers to you and Dominic
Domo Wilson when I saw the notification, tears wanted to come but I remembered a quote that I have kept seeing since you first mentioned this. “God choose the strongest women to become autism moms” ❤️
I would suggest following fatheringautisum on here. Their daughter is low functioning but they post really helpful videos and different types of therapies and apps that help.
It gets better my daughter was diagnosed at 2 years old. She’s now 8 years old and she’s literally the smartest person I know! She’s starting a gifted program at school.
Alexis Surrell I think they should be treated differently, not in the sense that you should feel sorry for them or anything, but they think and learn different. My brother has 1 child with autism and one without. How we interact and treat them are different, but not in a bad way just in a different way. And that’s ok, it’s ok to be different ❤️
My little cousin has autism and he’s literally so smart he started school at 2 and they help him so much the so adorable he’s goofy and so sweet Dominic has no difference
My older sister has mild autism and has been thriving. She’s working, going to college, and has been successful in maintaining really good friendships.
This boy in my class has autism and some people make fun of him because he laughs at everything but I make sure they don't make fun of him because everyone deserves a chance in this world.❤
I have a question. I have a cousin who has autism. Very disrespectful to his mother, hits animals, ANY time he doesn't get what he wants screams beyond belief, very disrespect to random people, I tried to tell his mother to tell him to stop yelling at ME because he was making me feel very uncomfortable. He is 6 btw. His mom was trying to say that he has autism and that is okay. Is it okay? I really need advice
@@bazanmi1310 This sounds like it's high functioning or he's not disciplined at home. Try and find things that calm him down or hobbies he may be interested in. Discipline him as well but don't be too harsh on him.
My granddaughter goes for her evaluation on Friday. I'm the one who noticed something was off (she wasn't talking and was regressing with things she used to be able to do.). That was a year ago and we've had a speech pathologist, etc. since then. But I don't know what to expect. I don't know what it will mean. I'm so scared for my grandbaby. I love her and would gladly surrender my life for her. Her mom works 12 hour days so she's with me most of the time. But she is so loving and loves playing with kids. She has irrational fears that are hard to understand sometimes. But anyway, now I"m just rambling. Thanks for sharing. You give me hope.
Bazan Mi that doesn’t sound like autism but the spectrum is quite vast. It really more so just sounds like a discipline problem. The fits that my child has had was reared with disciple and the things he used to do, he doesn’t anymore.
Michelle Taylor that’s how my baby started out...wasn’t doing the things he used to. Everyone kept telling me “he’s just a boy and learning other things” but I knew something wasn’t right. Turns out, because he used to get sick a lot as a baby, his inner ear wasn’t draining and he couldn’t hear! Once we got that established, we had to work with his delay to get him up to speed. He still avoids eye contact and has some moments to retaining certain tasks but once he gets something, he gets it! It’s a learning road ahead but I’m sure he and your little one will make full “recoveries”.
@@guerlineguerrier2392 Exactly I hope people stop bringing that shit up... let it go please.. not only that respect what she asked she asked for you guys to stop bringing it up and even asking about it... that shit is gone like 99 and 2000 ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
Don’t let this get you down he is a very intelligent. Having autism just means that he will view the world differently, it doesn’t make him any less smart.
My goddaughter has autism. She is now 20 and in college, friends and lives with her boyfriend. She is a artist, drives herself everywhere. Even has a job, she's high functioning autism as well. He's going to be fine. 😊
So it makes you think what's really "different" ? In the sense that she's able to do what the next person does. It's amazing, everyone is unique and we're all human. I love it, it's beautiful reading all of these stories.
My brother has autism, and he is a 12-year-old, they diagnosed him at 2 years old. I think it is a coincidence because his name is Dominic. Your son will be great. Lots of love!
I love that you say what’s “different” about him instead of wrong. Wording is so powerful. I love that. Domonic is so loved. He’s gonna be just fine with you as his mommy. 🖤
💯💯 She is such a beautiful person inside&out I love her and I know that she is a great mother, daughter sister and friend to the ppl she comes in contact with i love how humble and welcoming she is❤❤
My son is blind and autistic and non verbal. He has an underdeveloped optic nerve and needs hormone replacement injections at night I wonder if it is the same thing as my son.
I have never clicked so fast!!! I have Asperger’s (“high functioning” autism) myself and I’m here to tell you, it gets better!!! As long as you continue to be an amazing mommy like you have, he will continue to improve! I love y’all! 😍❤️
“He is my heart, I am his voice” I’m also a autism momma to a son! My boys 3 since September and was diagnosed in July! Dominic has you for a mommy we all know your going to do everything it takes to get him services and a early start on ways to help him!
Awww Cecelia that is so sweet. And you two can relate. My children uncle has autism and he's extremely smart. He's very good with numbers. ✔ Can you subscribe to my UA-cam channel Mychelle Wiltshire
Soooo AMAZING!! I just wrote her two messages telling her to check y'all's channel out and welp...here you are!!! You guys are such an amazing family and provide so much valuable information!! God Bless!!
My Son which is now, 21. Has High Functioning Autism. When he was Diagnosed at 3.. He had no Verbal.. Didn't speak till 5.. Prayer is Powerful! When my Son was Diagnosed @ age 3....I was soo Heartbroken. It hasn't been a Easy Journey. But, it has a Worth it all. Early Therapy is Key! Speech, OT, PT, and ABA Therapy.. ABA Therapy, made a Huge Difference for my, "Christian". He Graduated in 2017, From High school With a 4.3 GPA.. The Next Year, He Graduated from Career Center... He is Higher Functioning.. And, he is Amazing!❤ God will not give you.. What you can't Bear🙏❤ Keep the Faith! Keep being the, Strong Woman/Mother that you are!! You, and the Lord has This🙌🙏💪
Sally Mae this was so beautiful! Can anyone scrolling through the comments translate Sally Mae into Spanish? I know a mom that needs these words right now
@LocsUnloaded....Thank You! God is Real...And, He is A "Healer"..."Faith". Is the Substance of things Hoped for..And, Evidence not Seen...May God Bless you, and Everyone Reading my Post🙏🙌..Have A Blessed Christmas,and a Happy New Year's🙌🙏😍
You are so inspirational. My son is 5 and just starting to say words. He's just started aba therapy also. I often wonder about his future so im glad to see he can live a regular life
@@LAKERI100 ....Your Son Most definitely has a, "Future"...God made him ",Unique" for a Reason! Remember , "Einstein" didnt speak, till he was age 5....Aba did Wonders for my Son....It Advanced his Speech...Helped totally with his, Behaviors.....And, Also Remember...God is a, Healer...!🙏...Keep the Faith! And, stay prayed up...It's not a Easy Journey...It's worth it all...God will only Give us...What we can "Bear".. Push for Inclusion in, School...It's very Important...You want your Son, to be around "Typical" Kiddos...It makes a Difference.. Also, learn about IEP's in School.. Socialization is very Important for our kiddos...I can go on.. If you ever need to pick my brain.. I have helped a lot of, Parents... My Mother tell me, it is my calling.. God uses all of us...Through our, Tests, and Trials......Knowledge is Power.....
My son was diagnosed at 2 dont shelter him, love him and treat him as any other child. My son is now 13 and in a regular class doing regular BOY things. Dont give up hope, dont stop pushing for him. You can do it ma. My son runs cross country, plays soccer, AMAZING GAMER, he writes plays TYLER PERRY is his inspiration. Always speak positive and twll him he can do anything he wants. You GOT THIS MAMA 😍
LoveJah Azure That’s about the age my nephew was when he started talking. He was diagnosed around 3 though. They said he would never talk and at 12 he’s reading, writing, and talking in complete sentences. He’s also the funniest kid lol, he’s so honest.
Seeing Domo cry at the thought that Wicky wouldn’t be able to do normal things broke me. He will grow up to be an awesome person, because he has a mother like you. He’s gonna do great things, autism will never define him. 😇
giselleavalos right.. I’ve came across brilliant kids that have autism. And when I say brilliant I meant brilliant.. autism is just a name... it doesn’t define that individual.
Autism doesn’t make him any different he bleed red, he feels, and he will be loved like any other human ❤️ your amazing for taking the time and helping him mature into the lil man he is your an amazing mother domo
Reading you guys and gals comments has literally brought tears to my eyes, my son whose 7 have severe non-verbal autism, he's also been diagnosed as intellectual delayed, adhd, plus he's social and mentally delayed. Please keep me in yall prayers, its a stuggle everyday..sorry for the long post.
My Son also has Autism. Always remember when getting your son anything and everything he needs. You are his voice... Don't let others tell you differently!
That's Awesome...my brother has autism too and smart as heck and funny at times, i think they're special and strong in the greatest way, you never know how great they will become
My son has autism. I'm not going to say it gets easier in time. There's days where you just want to throw in the towel. One thing is patience and you have alot of that. Keep up that support system. Melt downs can occur anytime. Having something familiar helps my son.
Autism doesn’t define him! He will be just like everyone else and live a full life! No worries mama, only positive thoughts for this gorgeous baby boy of yours. He is SO lucky to have you!!! 🦋🦋
My brother is high functioning autistic as well and he's my inspiration for majoring in psychology! My brother started talking fully at 3 and initially we thought he was deaf before tests ruled that out, of course. Long story short it was also hard for my mom to accept and she was always very protective of him as any mother is over her children, but eventually her protectiveness caused him to be more dependent than what he's capable of, so continue to be the great, involved mother you are! Just make sure you allow him to learn and thrive to his full potential as you discussed because he's only as strong and capable as his support system! I've followed you since facebook days and you've grown into an AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL person and mother! Continue being true to yourself and Wick!! I LOVE YOU!!!
My son has it and is super smart but yeah he has a very hard time expressing his emotions and things like that. He was slow in speech but he getting better with speech therapy Nd things like that.
Watching him is amazing he literally never looses his smile it’s amazing. He was just sitting there playing with his toy with a smile on his face it’s just amazing. You are amazing he is amazing. I love you guys so much!
I have autism too and it’s hard. I’m on the low spectrum of it, but it still affects me. I don’t really tell anyone, but my family was and still is really supportive.
My older brother has autism and trust me it will be hard, but what things in life aren't? Not to mention, some people with autism have special talents that make them even more unique. My older brother (15) can remember every single line from a TV episode after watching it once , without reading captions or a script. And a lot of other autistic kids are really smart, literally have me struggling to catch up to them in class. Your boy is a beautiful gift from God, and he always has a plan. God bless you two, been watching your channel for years now and seeing you grow as a person has been eye opening and inspiring ❤️
I've always believed that autistic children are human beings. Are very gifted an extremely intelligent our societie is so quick to slap a label on our children. But with a little work you can see what their potential and talents are
Omg thank you guys so much ! I agree to me they are smarter than people and parents give them and it’s more denial and once we are all on board it turns out great !!! I love my job and it’s amazing the progress that happens day by day ! He will be amazing ❤️❤️🧩
I’m an ABA ( Applied Behavior Analysis ) therapist, and I work with kids who have autism. Between the ages of 2 all the way to 15 and so we focus on Applied behavior analysis as a form of treatment , and I study behavior in order to put into place appropriate behavioral interventions. So ABA uses positive reinforcement in order to increase desirable behavior and improve skills of the kiddo. I’ve just got into the field but, I’ve heard a lot of stories my clients parents told me and it beautiful , how they’ve seen improvements with their kiddos, the kiddos social skills are improving and learning independence. I truly think your son would benefit greatly from ABA therapy. Kiddos with autism are geniuses no doubt 100% always alwaysssss embrace that ! I love you btw ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
With My son, Early diagnosis helped with his Autism therapy so much. So knowing this so early, you’ll be able to help him get everything he needs faster and help him become an even greater kid! Sending love and light to you and Dominic! Autism Mamas are strong! 💪 💚
Thank you for sharing. I’m a young mom and my daughter has a rare diagnosis (doesn’t have a name, doctors here don’t know anyone else with it) , she has mental and physical delays at 6 years old. It was hard to process at first and open up about but now I know I’m not the only mom going through something like this. It’s crazy how many people can relate. The more I open up to people/clients (I’m a nail tech) I’ve gotten so much more information. I’ve met parents, teachers, drivers, principals, who have all worked with kids with special needs. I haven’t talked much about my daughter on my channel but I hope too. Last year I felt lonely (even with my husband & daughter) and this year after opening up with others I feel like a different person. I hope to share our story and be relatable to those who think they’re on their own. Thanks again for sharing, your not alone and It’s okay to be sad sometimes too, keep your head up 💕
My boyfriend had autism and he is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met. He is also EXTREMELY talented at art and is going to school for it!
We just kept trying and trying I'm not gonna lie I gave up a few times but the last time we tried we were persistent for like 2 weeks straight i went through countless underwear I cant even tell you how many pairs I threw away,and just one day he went into the bathroom and did a number 2 all on his own I was so ecstatic I had to take pics of it lol...so my only advise is to not give up and let the frustration get the best of you because they are so smart and they can do it and to top it all off he's never had an accident in the bed not once 🙏I wish the best to everyone and dont give up..
My twin brothers and husband have autism. Those small victories are my absolute favorite, like the other day I got my husband to eat mushrooms he HATED mushrooms. So for him to eat it and enjoy it I cried 💙
My son has autism and was diagnosed at the same age. It can definitely be a challenge at times, but it is so worth it when I look at his smile. He amazes me every single day. Early intervention was a HUGE help and then when he turned 3 we got him into school. He is considered non-verbal but is starting to slowly say some things. God bless you and ur adorable son. Just remember you are his biggest advocate!
I swear to you that boy is the biggest blessing you can ask for. He is so smart and adorable. I am so glad I have been on this journey with you. You have inspired me so much and so has your son. I really wish I could just sit with you in person and just have conversations and share ideas and advice. You are also a blessing! Thank you for being you and sharing your stories.
Honestly I kind of knew/saw he had autism when he was really small. He reminds me so much of my brother and he also has high functioning autism. He was delayed in talking and had a speech impediment. Fast forward he’s now 24 has a job, and talks better than me lol. Really he talks too damn much now lol. We’re still working on the driving part, but I can say he still does play with LEGO’s and still makes different noise or sound affects from when he was small because it comforts him. When he was small he would only like to play by himself, barely had friends, but he finally found a friend!!!! I was so happy 😀 . He a very blunt straight to the point person. We still be scared sometimes on what will come out this man’s mouth lol, but he’s the sweetest person ever. Took me a while to understand why he was so different, but it showed me how to love and understand all walks of life.
PrincessTurner you pretty much described my oldest son!! Just this morning I had his younger sister all dressed up for her recital and was saying how cute she looked and I called him over and asked him “dosnt your sister look cute” and he said with a straight face “ she only looks 10% cute I don’t like her shirt and the bells on it” HONEST TO A FAULT!!!! They can’t help it lol
My son is 3 and he has spectrum 3 autism. 💙 & He doesn’t talk at all. I use to compare my son all the time to other kids. I’ve accepted it. He’s in speech therapy and occupational therapy etc. he will start talking when he’s ready #AutismRocks
My son is 3 too he wasn't talking now that he is started school he has 3 favorite words no, please, and ma and I just went to his play I was crying cause the school is for autism none of did much but they had glow sticks why the older kids were reading and reacting scene from the Grinch it was a beautiful thing to see they're not treated differently and they wanted everyone to be a part of it.
Jade Griffin I sometimes get teary eyed because I want to hear mama or ma for once... like jeez am I ever going to hear it? I know it takes time though. They also put him in school but it’s only twice out the week. He also has melt downs. We can’t even go to Chuck E Cheese because he doesn’t like the crowd and noise. I just don’t know what else to do 😔
@@taylord7261 I know every child is different but my son still have meltdowns he wasn't too good at school when he first started in August he kept hitting the kids now he hugs them when they're crying my baby does the same thing in Chuck e. Cheese you might have to start at something as taking him to the park let the little kids play with him and open him up some things we think they'll enjoy is probably just too much for them just find a child around his age and go to the park so he won't feel crowded it all just take time I'm a mother I got tired of tempertantrums really quick and just gave into what he wanted & then I woke up knew I couldn't give him everything I didn't say no I explained to him on his level you can't cause paw patrol says it's not good for you.
Jade Griffin omg yes! I literally give in to what he wants because the temper tantrums are horrible. Especially in public, I just let him get whatever he wants so people won’t stare or think he doesn’t have any home training. I’m actually looking for some play groups in my area for him to attend, he likes to play alone. Even at school he stays to himself, It feels so good talking to you ❤️ thankyou for that
DL1982 Peters Thankyou so much! I really needed to hear that.sometimes I feel like I’m not a good mother but then I realize I’m doing the best I can at getting him the help he needs. In OT they are teaching him communication skills. Instead of screaming for what he wants or getting mad and throwing things. He’s learning patience and self soothing etc. I carry a paci with me every where we go.
Awww he’s so cute. My son is now 11 and he was diagnosed when he was 3 and god has truly blessed me with this loving kid. I felt the same way when I found out about my son, but he’s the life of the party everywhere he goes leave love on everybody’s heart. He’ll be fine boo😘

Didn't speak till 5..
Prayer is Powerful!
When my Son was Diagnosed @ age 3....I was soo Heartbroken.
It hasn't been a Easy Journey.
But, it has a Worth it all.
Early Therapy is Key!
Speech, OT, PT, and ABA Therapy..
ABA Therapy, made a Huge Difference for my, "Christian".
He Graduated in 2017, From High school With a 4.3 GPA..
The Next Year, He Graduated from Career Center...
He is Higher Functioning..
And, he is Amazing!❤
God will not give you..
What you can't Bear🙏❤

Exactly my son is 14 with autism he has been diagnosed at the age of 3 with it . just gotta stay positive.
@@carlaj322 my son is about to be four!!! found out at 2 like DOMO!
My son too, he’s amazing!
My son didn’t talk until 5 sometimes he sounds just like him when he started speaking... therapy is great
LoveJah Azure That’s about the age my nephew was when he started talking. He was diagnosed around 3 though. They said he would never talk and at 12 he’s reading, writing, and talking in complete sentences. He’s also the funniest kid lol, he’s so honest.
Seeing Domo cry at the thought that Wicky wouldn’t be able to do normal things broke me. He will grow up to be an awesome person, because he has a mother like you. He’s gonna do great things, autism will never define him. 😇
My baby cousin has autism and he’s the smartest kid ever, you’re not alone domo we’re all here for you💗💞💞💓💖
giselleavalos right.. I’ve came across brilliant kids that have autism. And when I say brilliant I meant brilliant.. autism is just a name... it doesn’t define that individual.
Savahnaah Reye and they make it seem like the kids can’t do anything
Autism doesn’t make him any different he bleed red, he feels, and he will be loved like any other human ❤️ your amazing for taking the time and helping him mature into the lil man he is your an amazing mother domo
He’s so precious God bless his little heart autism doesn’t make him any different please don’t cry Domo
Reading you guys and gals comments has literally brought tears to my eyes, my son whose 7 have severe non-verbal autism, he's also been diagnosed as intellectual delayed, adhd, plus he's social and mentally delayed. Please keep me in yall prayers, its a stuggle everyday..sorry for the long post.
My professor in college has autism and she's high functioning 😊 she's my favorite and she is extremely smart
Kylie A. I hope domo reads this
Having a child with autism is a gift remember that
when he gets older have him watch the good doctor, shows him that he can truly be anyone he desires to be.
MyLeah Dudley-Ellis yess! I love that show !
I just started watching the show yesterday and every episode makes me cry it’s such a good show and teaches u a lot
One of my favorite shows.
Exactly what I was thinking!! ❤️
I recommend Atypical on Netflix! That one also taught me a lot about it.
My Son also has Autism. Always remember when getting your son anything and everything he needs. You are his voice... Don't let others tell you differently!
My younger brother has autism and he is so smart and he's a freshman in high school god bless him❤
Caitlin 🖤🖤
Aww❤️❤️
My little brother has autism and now he’s the smartest dude I know. He’s so good with computers and games.
Jazlyn Holle sane I have autism and am good with computers and games
My was diagnosed with autism and dealing with ADHD and the loss is his brother
I agree..children with autism are very bright. 💜🔮💜🔮💜
@@hannafox1979 that's great. How are you with graphic designing?
That's Awesome...my brother has autism too and smart as heck and funny at times, i think they're special and strong in the greatest way, you never know how great they will become
He wasn’t tryna share no pretzel in the beginning 😭
My son has autism. I'm not going to say it gets easier in time. There's days where you just want to throw in the towel. One thing is patience and you have alot of that. Keep up that support system. Melt downs can occur anytime. Having something familiar helps my son.
My son has autism an he's a smart boy an the sweetest. Autism doesn't defy him or your son
My triplets do as well
Star maria They are 7 years old ❤️
My son is autistic and he’s the smartest, most loving, sweet boy ever. You aren’t alone ♥️
They are the sweetest ever
Who else loves Dominic?💚
Domo is the best mom ever💜
💚💜❤
Ximena Mercado 🥰
My father has autism but he's still a good dad and I love him
Charlee FI the ribbon doesn’t only represent cancer it has puzzles with different colors on it which clearly Speaks autism
Girl I am so happy you’re educating and helping others. There just isn’t enough information out there and I love how positive you are being about it!
Autism is a mystery that hits everyone different. Patience is the key. Love your kids to the fullest.❤💙💛
Him being in school and around other children will definitely help him 💯
Duece Momm yes that’s all they need tbh
Autism doesn’t define him! He will be just like everyone else and live a full life! No worries mama, only positive thoughts for this gorgeous baby boy of yours. He is SO lucky to have you!!! 🦋🦋
My brother is high functioning autistic as well and he's my inspiration for majoring in psychology! My brother started talking fully at 3 and initially we thought he was deaf before tests ruled that out, of course. Long story short it was also hard for my mom to accept and she was always very protective of him as any mother is over her children, but eventually her protectiveness caused him to be more dependent than what he's capable of, so continue to be the great, involved mother you are! Just make sure you allow him to learn and thrive to his full potential as you discussed because he's only as strong and capable as his support system! I've followed you since facebook days and you've grown into an AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL person and mother! Continue being true to yourself and Wick!! I LOVE YOU!!!
When they did the abcs together omg my heart melted 💕😩🙏
They’re smart kids, they just can’t communicate their words.
Linda Smith not all kids with autism are non verbal some of them learn to just learn how to speak later
I meant to say, They have trouble articulate what they want or feel.
My son has it and is super smart but yeah he has a very hard time expressing his emotions and things like that. He was slow in speech but he getting better with speech therapy Nd things like that.
Yes very smart
My friend daughter didn't talk until she was 3 or 4 now she can't stop lol but every kid autism is different
It’s crazy... I remember when she was first pregnant with him. He is so fucking cute!! 💓💓.
He's starting to look more and more like you girl!
My brother has autism. Children with Autism is so smart and talented🖤.
Watching him is amazing he literally never looses his smile it’s amazing. He was just sitting there playing with his toy with a smile on his face it’s just amazing. You are amazing he is amazing. I love you guys so much!
I have autism too and it’s hard. I’m on the low spectrum of it, but it still affects me. I don’t really tell anyone, but my family was and still is really supportive.
His hair is everything, he is sooooo adorable!
My little brother is autistic and it’s hard but stay strong ❤️
It sure is my son is four and it is extremely hard ❤️much love to your brother
Little Dom was NOT coming up off of none of his pretzels.

Right🤣 He was like you can have some kisses😂😂
My older brother has autism and trust me it will be hard, but what things in life aren't? Not to mention, some people with autism have special talents that make them even more unique. My older brother (15) can remember every single line from a TV episode after watching it once , without reading captions or a script. And a lot of other autistic kids are really smart, literally have me struggling to catch up to them in class. Your boy is a beautiful gift from God, and he always has a plan. God bless you two, been watching your channel for years now and seeing you grow as a person has been eye opening and inspiring ❤️
I’m a teacher for autistic children and they are amazing
I've always believed that autistic children are human beings. Are very gifted an extremely intelligent our societie is so quick to slap a label on our children. But with a little work you can see what their potential and talents are
awesome ! my stepbrother is severely autistic. thank you to you and all other teachers who take the time and care to work with them ❤️
And you ma'am are amazing,thank you for your work💕
Omg thank you guys so much ! I agree to me they are smarter than people and parents give them and it’s more denial and once we are all on board it turns out great !!! I love my job and it’s amazing the progress that happens day by day ! He will be amazing ❤️❤️🧩
He is going to succeed. Domonic is beyond smart and let’s not forget adorable ❤️
This is how many people will vote for Domo 2020

I’m an ABA ( Applied Behavior Analysis ) therapist, and I work with kids who have autism. Between the ages of 2 all the way to 15 and so we focus on Applied behavior analysis as a form of treatment , and I study behavior in order to put into place appropriate behavioral interventions. So ABA uses positive reinforcement in order to increase desirable behavior and improve skills of the kiddo. I’ve just got into the field but, I’ve heard a lot of stories my clients parents told me and it beautiful , how they’ve seen improvements with their kiddos, the kiddos social skills are improving and learning independence. I truly think your son would benefit greatly from ABA therapy. Kiddos with autism are geniuses no doubt 100% always alwaysssss embrace that ! I love you btw ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
With My son, Early diagnosis helped with his Autism therapy so much. So knowing this so early, you’ll be able to help him get everything he needs faster and help him become an even greater kid! Sending love and light to you and Dominic! Autism Mamas are strong! 💪 💚
Rightttttt💜💜💜 ot,st,pt mt and aba are the best they help them advance when caught early!!
Welcome to the Autism mom club 💜 He is a special boy.
When he was saying his alphabet my heart just smiled. He’s seems like a blessing to have. 😃😃
Thank you for sharing. I’m a young mom and my daughter has a rare diagnosis (doesn’t have a name, doctors here don’t know anyone else with it) , she has mental and physical delays at 6 years old. It was hard to process at first and open up about but now I know I’m not the only mom going through something like this. It’s crazy how many people can relate. The more I open up to people/clients (I’m a nail tech) I’ve gotten so much more information. I’ve met parents, teachers, drivers, principals, who have all worked with kids with special needs. I haven’t talked much about my daughter on my channel but I hope too. Last year I felt lonely (even with my husband & daughter) and this year after opening up with others I feel like a different person. I hope to share our story and be relatable to those who think they’re on their own. Thanks again for sharing, your not alone and It’s okay to be sad sometimes too, keep your head up 💕
My boyfriend had autism and he is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met. He is also EXTREMELY talented at art and is going to school for it!
this gives me so much hope to find love one day. i’m always scared no one will love me bc of my deficits :( but thank u.
My son has mild autistic characteristics and we had a hard time potty training him he was almost 4 but when he got it! He got it🙏💙
mines 5 an still tryna potty train I'm worry bc in kindergarten everyone has underwear an he be the only one in pullups
We just kept trying and trying I'm not gonna lie I gave up a few times but the last time we tried we were persistent for like 2 weeks straight i went through countless underwear I cant even tell you how many pairs I threw away,and just one day he went into the bathroom and did a number 2 all on his own I was so ecstatic I had to take pics of it lol...so my only advise is to not give up and let the frustration get the best of you because they are so smart and they can do it and to top it all off he's never had an accident in the bed not once 🙏I wish the best to everyone and dont give up..
My son is now 10
ANNA'S LYFE same my brother is just now learning to potty train and he’s 7 , but he’s the best kid I ever met . My brother has severe autism.
My twin brothers and husband have autism. Those small victories are my absolute favorite, like the other day I got my husband to eat mushrooms he HATED mushrooms. So for him to eat it and enjoy it I cried 💙
Autism isn’t a bad thing, it just means a person is extra unique ❤️
The sweetest comment ever 💗💗❣️
this is so kind. thank you.
Amen. Different isn’t bad.
Just Means you aren’t following the same norm.
You are Special💞

My daughter was diagnosed at 2 too but she went to the school for the autism and now she’s talking 🙏🏽
Glenda Rogers how old is she now ?
Bundi K TV she’s 5
My son has autism and was diagnosed at the same age. It can definitely be a challenge at times, but it is so worth it when I look at his smile. He amazes me every single day. Early intervention was a HUGE help and then when he turned 3 we got him into school. He is considered non-verbal but is starting to slowly say some things. God bless you and ur adorable son. Just remember you are his biggest advocate!
Aww he’s gonna be so smart when he grows up I can tell this won’t stop him.
Omg hearing him say his ABCs and numbers made me smile so hard.
I am a teacher for children with autism trust me his future is bright!
Sydney Guyton this gives me hope for my 2.5 even though you wasn’t talking about her
I swear to you that boy is the biggest blessing you can ask for. He is so smart and adorable. I am so glad I have been on this journey with you. You have inspired me so much and so has your son. I really wish I could just sit with you in person and just have conversations and share ideas and advice. You are also a blessing! Thank you for being you and sharing your stories.
I love my cyber nephew period with his handsome self. He gives me so much life and happiness everytime you post him and I love it. ❤️❤️
I couldn’t stop smiling when you were talking about him finally starting to say words 😍💝💝 God bless you both, you’re such an amazing mother!
His cute lil smirk while he’s playing w his toy lol 🥰 the cutest.
A lot of people with autism are very smart and unique in their own special way
May God bless you and your beautiful son
Honestly I kind of knew/saw he had autism when he was really small. He reminds me so much of my brother and he also has high functioning autism. He was delayed in talking and had a speech impediment. Fast forward he’s now 24 has a job, and talks better than me lol. Really he talks too damn much now lol. We’re still working on the driving part, but I can say he still does play with LEGO’s and still makes different noise or sound affects from when he was small because it comforts him. When he was small he would only like to play by himself, barely had friends, but he finally found a friend!!!! I was so happy 😀 . He a very blunt straight to the point person. We still be scared sometimes on what will come out this man’s mouth lol, but he’s the sweetest person ever. Took me a while to understand why he was so different, but it showed me how to love and understand all walks of life.
PrincessTurner you pretty much described my oldest son!! Just this morning I had his younger sister all dressed up for her recital and was saying how cute she looked and I called him over and asked him “dosnt your sister look cute” and he said with a straight face “ she only looks 10% cute I don’t like her shirt and the bells on it” HONEST TO A FAULT!!!! They can’t help it lol
My son is exactly like this he has taught me so much I'm glad God chose me to be his Mom.
Renee G 10 percent cute??😂😂 that’s adorably honest
Renee G Lol I swear, it cracks me up 😂
My son has Autism as well. He’s 9 now and he’s so smart
Please potty train him, he has to have consistency, and routine, please stick to a workable schedule, coming from a nurse of 30 years
With a mother like you I bet he is a very smart kid. God bless you two🌹🎄
Kasa Semo he is potty trained...but thank you for the advice
That fresh cut tho... I couldn't take my eyes off his hair he is so fly..... He is going to be a heartbreaker... Blessed and highly favored!!!!
My aunt has autism she is such an amazing person and has taught me a lot Dominic is gonna grow up and be such a good man!!🥺
I love his hair like that! It makes him look like a little man:( he's growing up fast:(
My son is 3 and he has spectrum 3 autism. 💙 & He doesn’t talk at all. I use to compare my son all the time to other kids. I’ve accepted it. He’s in speech therapy and occupational therapy etc. he will start talking when he’s ready #AutismRocks
My son is 3 too he wasn't talking now that he is started school he has 3 favorite words no, please, and ma and I just went to his play I was crying cause the school is for autism none of did much but they had glow sticks why the older kids were reading and reacting scene from the Grinch it was a beautiful thing to see they're not treated differently and they wanted everyone to be a part of it.
Jade Griffin I sometimes get teary eyed because I want to hear mama or ma for once... like jeez am I ever going to hear it? I know it takes time though. They also put him in school but it’s only twice out the week. He also has melt downs. We can’t even go to Chuck E Cheese because he doesn’t like the crowd and noise. I just don’t know what else to do 😔
@@taylord7261 I know every child is different but my son still have meltdowns he wasn't too good at school when he first started in August he kept hitting the kids now he hugs them when they're crying my baby does the same thing in Chuck e. Cheese you might have to start at something as taking him to the park let the little kids play with him and open him up some things we think they'll enjoy is probably just too much for them just find a child around his age and go to the park so he won't feel crowded it all just take time I'm a mother I got tired of tempertantrums really quick and just gave into what he wanted & then I woke up knew I couldn't give him everything I didn't say no I explained to him on his level you can't cause paw patrol says it's not good for you.
Jade Griffin omg yes! I literally give in to what he wants because the temper tantrums are horrible. Especially in public, I just let him get whatever he wants so people won’t stare or think he doesn’t have any home training. I’m actually looking for some play groups in my area for him to attend, he likes to play alone. Even at school he stays to himself, It feels so good talking to you ❤️ thankyou for that
DL1982 Peters Thankyou so much! I really needed to hear that.sometimes I feel like I’m not a good mother but then I realize I’m doing the best I can at getting him the help he needs. In OT they are teaching him communication skills. Instead of screaming for what he wants or getting mad and throwing things. He’s learning patience and self soothing etc. I carry a paci with me every where we go.
He will talk. Give him time. I went through the same thing. He is special.
Awww he’s so cute. My son is now 11 and he was diagnosed when he was 3 and god has truly blessed me with this loving kid. I felt the same way when I found out about my son, but he’s the life of the party everywhere he goes leave love on everybody’s heart. He’ll be fine boo😘
He’s still sooo perfect 🥰 Remember Autism is not a disability it’s just a different ability 💯 You got this mama! ❤️
He’s such a cutieeeee... he’s like a little grown man I love him especially with the bunnnn 🥰🥰
He isn't different, he is just the way he is supposed to be.
What a wonderful mother and how amazing it is that we can see her and her son grow together! Love you Domo and Dominic you keep on shinging!!! ❤️
