My son is 26 years old and has severe autism! He has epilepsy a form of muscular dystrophy, epilepsy and a feeding tube! He’s a true blessing to me! When my son was diagnosed at three, resources weren’t as prevalent as they are now! Thank you for addressing this issue within our community!
Ppl really need to research about autism it's really hard to deal with not only for the individual who has it but for the caretakers too bc I'm a parent of an autistic child he's nine now and he was diagnosed at 3 but he's achieved and conquered milestones that I didn't think he would so I wish the best to All the kids with autism and their caretakers God bless and stay strong!!
@@purposedpatience6597 idk what realm of the spectrum ur son is on but I have a question since he's older......is he more independent and understanding of what he needs to do for himself? It's just very hard I'm just so worried about when his father or myself isn't around how he will survive in this cruel world! It's very saddening to me (hell I'm tearing up now)
Yeah..my sister's 5yo son is autistic, & now ADHD. She loves him & takes good care of him..but it's hard, expensive & lonely. She's often overwhelmed & occasionally suicidal. He's her only child & she's devastated that their lives will forever be "abnormal" while she watches the normalcy of her friends & their kids. She's not having more kids out of fear of having another special needs child. I try to help her focus on his abilities instead of his disabilities. 🙏🙏for you all❤
So True it's extremely hard I have a 2 year old on the spectrum I can't even take her with me to the grocery store so many things cause her to get overstimulated and she has alot of meltdowns it's very stressful all the excessive crying. I could tell something was different because she was my second child and she did alot of repetitive things and she makes humming sounds to keep herself calm.
@@aleesharenea1477 I feel u and it was the same for me with my son when he was that age but u are going to have to get her use to being in public it may take a while but she'll get use to it and then just like every kid in the world she'll start wanting and asking for everything they see in the store! Lol! but may God bless you with strength, patience and grace! and I wish ur family well!☺️
Great job Excepting what was going on and getting her the help that she needs because honestly growing up and not knowing and just finding out at 34 is tough so you’re doing an excellent job keep it up💜💜💜🧩🧩🧩🧩💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes that’s exactly what I said because before I started the video I left a comment saying that I can already guess what it’s gonna be about I was pretty sure that we were going to talk about the black community and how disability is a thing that we don’t like to talk about!This is coming from someone finding out that they have autism at the age of 34 years old and realizing how tough it’s been and it didn’t have to be!🥰💜🧩Call parents please don’t ignore the signs black parents pacifically I don’t know about other parents I just know about those because that’s who raised me
Much love for Ms. More. As a parent of a young man with Autism, information, support and hard work helps in great way. To all caregivers and parents who have children with Autism you're special. Ms. More you son sounds like my son when he's happy he flaps his hands. I hate to say this but I'm so touch it got me crying like Black Tony for real! We need more like Maria she so encouraging, understand and Inspiring! Thank you Mr. Smiley!
Good content . I am so blessed that my daughter got diagnosed early and I felt like everyone listened to me . The doctors and teachers . So far we have had good support in our community
@Kathy Hall-Miller . She was 3 when she got the diagnosis of sensory processing disorder . Then the therapist raised other concerns and when discussed with the pediatrician she immediately took me serious and did a referral to a behavioral health pediatrician . Around the same time I reached out to the school and asked for Eval . The early childhood program diagnosed her first at age 4 then the specialist did another in-depth eval and agreed
Maria was great in explaining Autism. My daughter is 13 yrs old and is on the spectrum..She's non verbal, so communication is alil challenging but the therapy and school, and even the speaking devices and most of all myself the has made a difference in my daughters life as far as learning to speak, and her emotions and behaviors. I really love this clip. Thank you Maria.. ❤❤❤❤
She’s so right. An IEP is a legal document that we as teachers have to follow. The accommodations your child can receive are so helpful in ensuring academic and social success. Be your child’s advocate no matter what. 💙
I haven’t begin to watch the video yet but I can guarantee that I already know what they’re gonna talk about because is the exact reason why I’m 34 years old and just finding out that I have autism I’ve always known that something was a little different about me and I’m sure my mom notice to but we know how that is so let me see how this video goes🥰💜🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩
With the gradual using of dr Oyalo herbal recommendation for autism, whom I met on UA-cam, my son is totally free from Autism with his speech cleared and social skills ok as he now respond to orders and act right.
I have a great-nephew 7 years old he is on the low end spectrum of autism. I heard of it but just thought he was acting out are just being bad at the age of 3 or 4. I spanked his little legs and my niece his mom got him tested. I end up apologizing to him because I didn't know anything about Autism and my niece educated me on it and now I know better when I see a child acting out I don't judge them like I use to ... I would say, he or she needs a whippin... now when I see it. I now say, he or she may be autistic...and I am more empathetic and know that it should be discussed more and educate our selves more when we see this in public or anywhere. Its not just a "Black Thing" it affects everyone. I love him sooooo much more now than before and he loves me just as much.... #LovetheAutisticChild... they are very articulate and sooo amazing I enjoy him so much ❤
There are tons of calming video's on UA-cam for Autistic kids to watch. They tend to get "over-stimulated", and have "Meltdowns" 'Ted-Talk" has great video's, to watch to get a better understanding about the diagnosis.
My child has it the school board doesn't care neither do the teachers I get no help because she's not a bad child it's awful I'm tired and past my breaking point 5 years ago
Look online for resources. There's Facebook groups, community support groups etc. Both u & him need support services. My sister moved out of a zip code where her son was in a school with excellent Special Needs services & he was thriving. Now she's experiencing the same thing u are in her new school district. The key is to live in communities with the most academic, social & psychological support services..and stay there. 🙏🙏for u.
Autism in black children was never talked about when I was younger, but it was the 90s. I had my diagnosis back in 1995 which explains why I always have negative feelings towards myself and I ended up turning to drinking later in my adult life. Especially when all the men I can easily attract are always either nerds/geeks, losers who are worse than I am, and broke men. My preference in men no matter what race is athletic men who know how to manage their finances.

It's important to not use functioning labels when discussing Autism. There's no such thing as "low" "mild" "severe" or "high" functioning Autism. A person is Autistic or they're not. Their support needs are what should be the focus not functioning.
I get what you’re saying but as a person with high functioning autism, it’s more beneficial for someone like me to say high functioning so ppl don’t stick you in a box & mistreat you. I can’t relate to the labels “special needs” and “intellectually disabled” that ppl repeatedly say. Those labels feel like curse words but some Autistic ppl are that. It’s a double edged sword & bc it’s a Spectrum everything won’t fit everyone. I believe in self-preservation
@@SandyCheeks007 I understand where you're coming from as well. If I tell someone I'm Autistic and they treat me different it comes from their ignorance of what Autism is. I've been called "high functioning" and don't wish to be called that. It doesn't accurately describe Autism for me. I read somewhere that only 30% of Autistics have an ID. "Special needs" is an outdated term from my understanding and conversations with disability advocates. Functioning labels are rooted in ableism and I won't participate in that. Continuing to use them only gives allistic (non-Autistic) people the okay to use them as well. I'd rather not. I don't see myself any different from other Autistic people. I may not experience life the same way but we are what I call neurokin. So if someone wants to group me in with them I don't really mind. It'll be an educational moment at best
Fat Joe, Toni Braxton, Tisha Campbell, DL Hughley, Monica Calhoun, Stephanie Mills, Alexis Skyy..all have special needs children. They're all proud parents & advocates. Snoop Dogg supports & participates in Special Olympics. I say this because people admire celebrities for their talents..but we rarely see admiration of their talents as parents & advocates of Special Needs children🙏❤
@@rahbeeuh That's how it sounds to u. There's nthn wrong with saying "special needs" when there's the "Special Olympics" & to me saying "disabled" indicates physical disabilities, instead of both physical & mental didabilities.
What are autism treatments? Vitamins,supplements, diet holistic treatments? And causes? Thank you my heart and prayers are with the autistic and their care givers. Blessings
I personally, do not want my son on medication. His pediatrician recommend Melatonin when he was 3, to help religate his sleep pattern... He's 7 now. I've have no issues.
I knew something was different with my son from the time he was 3 months old beating himself in the head with his rattle until I switched to a pediatrician who took my concerns seriously and had him tested at the age of 3 1/2y/0. Early diagnosis is one thing but once u get that and are approved for treatments get involved as much as u can and don't expect to have the tss, therapists and such "fix" ur child.. you and ur family involvement r a vital part of their progress. Without ur involvement in this teamwork network, ur child will never grow. It takes a village and the village does involve you. And if the ppl who are assigned to ur child don't take the time to educate and support u then don't be afraid to let them go and look elsewhere. The team that's right for ur child is the team that revels in ur involvement. With all this being said, expect to continue to fight for services and the welfare of ur child especially if they're nonverbal and always trust ur instincts if u think something may be going wrong. Saving the peace is a nice thought but saving ur baby from possible abuse and neglect is everything. Miracles, progress, success and happiness can be the future for u and ur family but only if ur willing to work for it and like with most things, it gets better and easier with time. Love and peace parents .. You got this!💜💖💙
@@rahbeeuh yes they did. They supported the jabs that's somehow caused black children to get autism more than any other race. That's a coincidence I'm not believing in
@@kinglionsdivinemathematics4573you can't be serious 😂 Vaccines do not cause Autism. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition someone's born with. It existed long before vaccines were even created. Plus if you knew what you were talking bout you'd know that Black children have historically not been diagnosed with Autism at the rates of White children. Same thing goes for Latino children. Also, Black children don't have Autism more than any other race. Wherever you got your information from is incorrect. There's literally no proof of what you're stating.
@@rahbeeuh the only fear I have is that this development could cause hereditary future generations of autistic individuals. MENTAL WAREFARE AT ITS FINEST. I could be wrong about the it being hereditary but I have seen families of autistic individuals
My son is 26 years old and has severe autism! He has epilepsy a form of muscular dystrophy, epilepsy and a feeding tube! He’s a true blessing to me! When my son was diagnosed at three, resources weren’t as prevalent as they are now! Thank you for addressing this issue within our community!
So true. My daughter is 31. I say the same for my family, resources weren’t as prevalent then as they are now.
Thank you Mr Ricky smiley for covering the story on Autism
Mr. Smiley is a great guy. He really tries to help the black community to know what's going on.
Ppl really need to research about autism it's really hard to deal with not only for the individual who has it but for the caretakers too bc I'm a parent of an autistic child he's nine now and he was diagnosed at 3 but he's achieved and conquered milestones that I didn't think he would so I wish the best to All the kids with autism and their caretakers God bless and stay strong!!
