Welcome back Holly. We missed you. Hope you are feeling better? Adam did a fantastic job with last video and fishing/ezra fishing (Adorable)
Thank you so much ❤️ looking forward to being with everyone tomorrow on our lifestream! 10:30 AM mountain standard time. 😊
Hey, recently started watching your videos. My son, aged 3, was diagnosed with autism about a month ago. He is quite similar to your son Simon. His biggest challenge is interacting with strangers/kid his age. Soon to start nursery in September. Watching your videos is so reassuring and makes me happy to see other similar parents to me and my wife. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you so much for watching, and sharing your story. Motivates us to keep going. ❤️ thanks again and stay in touch. ❤️
Wow my daughter is extremely similar to your son this video helped so much!
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
Ezra tiene una capacidad intelectual muy grande , el tiempo y con el amor de mamá y papa y hermanos va mejorar ❤❤❤
Agreed! Thank you ❤️
I just want to say your such a good mommy and parents 😊
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hey 👋 7 Ahead family I love your kids and I love you all 😊❤
Thank you! Right back at ya. 😊
My autistic son(4) he played with the dishwasher when he was two. Also he likes to hide little things all over the house. For example stuffs marbles or fake coins in the side of the couch or toys with have room inside.
Holly hope you’re doing better and the doctors will give you answers soon. Lots of love for all off you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much. I'm wearing a heart monitor for a month to see what my heart is doing. We think it's palpitations. We'll be talking more about it on our LIVE tomorrow. ❤️ -Holly
@@7Aheadfamily Hi Holly, this can be very trying. My friend had this recently and she had a kind of burnout with it. Hopefully isn’t something more serious. ❤️🍀
Yes. ❤️❤️❤️
I have very very slight form of autism. I'm actually obsessed with glow in the dark things. Like things that glow without a blacklight. People might think I'm crazy for saying this but one time I shined a mini blacklight on an almond and it glowed for many like five seconds. However I used to flaps my hands when I was younger as well. I broke the habit when I was seventeen. Some it might take longer or not take longer. I know that a lot of people may not be able to help it especially what over stimulated.
Thank you so much for sharing! What helped you to break the habit?
It looks like Ezra didn’t like the flickering light effect from the campfire. Maybe that’s why he wandered off that time. I don’t like flickering lights either. In fact, in my case flickering lights can sometimes be an optic migraine trigger for me. For me this may be related in part to visual overstimulation.
In my case due to the small stroke that I had around the time I was born I not only have some right hemisphere damage but in addition there is some damage to the areas next to my primary visual cortex (aka V1). For me this causes difficulties with facial recognition, impaired depth perception (to the point of almost not having any depth perception) and the tendency to become visually overstimulated. I wonder if in addition to being on the spectrum Ezra could also have something like this. Simon is right handed and shows more indications of this (such as often forgetting to put his left arm through the strap when putting on his backpack) than Ezra but it’s still possible for Ezra to have this (or something similar) as well.
In connection with this do Simon or Ezra ever not notice things on the left side of their visual field? This happens with me sometimes especially if I am unusually tired and/or stressed out.
In my case I’m on the spectrum (currently level one but I used to be level two) and I have the visual symptoms referenced above. Most people on the spectrum do not have those visual symptoms but they can sometimes go together.
I'm sensitive about food texture that are soggy or super wet, and I used to have problem about choosing things too, I would think which to choose for about several minutes
Thank you for sharing! I do hate soggy cereal. 😊
My sister and I both have difficulty communicating during high emotions. It has been like this for as long as I can remember.
I asked my mom what level autism I have and she said level two. Also, I'm very sensitive to food textures, and my favorite texture ever is wafers. I don't really care about the taste, I just really like the foam like texture. Like Ezra I can be entertained by plastic, cause I really like folding it and crinkling it. I also never wore a Halloween costume even when everyone else did. I also cut all the tags out of my clothes. I wish my mom found this video or one like it when I was younger cause she would've noticed the signs earlier. I haven't had any therapys to help with my autism, and I wish I got help when I was younger, cause it would have saved me from the issues I have now. Edit: I don't like sticky textures like marshmallows, peanut butter, chocolate, or anything like that. I also really struggle with choices so when I want something from the store, I pick a category like fruity candy, or chips, or squishy toys, and my mom picks me something from that category that she knows I will like. I also have a stim that for a long time I didn't know it was a stim, but I really enjoy sucking on hard candy, and ice. I don't do it for the flavor, I just do it for the smooth texture. I don't do it anymore but I used to suck on marbles as a substitute for hard candy.
Thank you for sharing. I love hearing your story. Be careful with those marbles, they can be dangerous if you choke on one. I like hard candies too. ❤️ -Holly
@@7Aheadfamily That's why I stopped with the marbles. They still feel cooler than hard candy though. What's your favorite hard candy? I have two favorites. I love rock candy, and jolly ranchers.
Your favorites are mine as well!!! Also lemon drops ❤️❤️
@@7Aheadfamily My grandma loved lemon drops. To me they taste like floor cleaner
Floor cleaner, huh? 😂😂😂
I have level 2 autism and I hate food textures that are too hard or well I must admit they are not actually that hard in reality but to me they feel aboslutely terrible, like yams and brown rice and sweet potatoes, I puree all my food, the foods I like are potatoes, white rice, fruits and apple juice...all pureed of course. And I also dont like anything that is sweet.
Thank you for sharing!
Your food preferences actually are very similar to Ezra ‘s. 😊
Wow. That is awesome. Thanks for sharing
@@7Aheadfamily Great!! happy to know that Ezra and I have something in common.😄
❤️❤️❤️
From descriptions I've heard from verbal autists who have meltdowns, I don't really seem to have them. I've had panic attacks that come close, but the big thing they describe that I don't experience is utter inconsolability: the meltdown continues until it has run its course, regardless of whether the original stimulus has been removed and despite attempts by the sufferer to bring it under control. My panic attacks tend to resolve once the perceived threat is gone.
This was meant to be a reply to @Alan23552 below, somehow didn't end up being a reply.
Thank you for sharing! Yes, meltdowns are no fun. ❤️
Sugar cookies are dry and, with the exception of the sugar, bland. I don't really hate either one, but I might actually go for a chunk of *raw* tomato over a sugar cookie (though I'll go for anything I actually find enjoyable first). Cooked tomato, however, I tend to actively avoid where it's the primary flavor.
It’s so good to hear your perspective! Thank you so much ❤️
Meltdowns are awful 33 and biting with level 1 I am very mild very few social issues other than I just don't pick things up well especially if they are subtle. I would play with dirt and twigs not long but a lot plenty of pictures of me doing it as a kid.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
So my son was diagnosed with autism by a general pediatrician 2 years ago (also had the ADOS test). He definitely has delayed speech and social challenges but he has no restricted interests. No obsessions. He does flap his arms when excited but definitely not for hours at a time. No strange hand movements. He does do a little verbal stimming sometimes. So without this third component, the repetitive behaviors/restricted interests, where does that leave us on the autism diagnosis? Ie it possible he was misdiagnosed? Or does the verbal stimming or flapping count as a repetitive behavior?
Flapping and verbal stimming are both forms of Autism stims❤️
@@7Aheadfamily Thank you! So I guess these stims would be considered repetitive behaviors/restricted interests?
In reviewing the CDC diagnostic criteria, I don’t believe your theory of the 3 categories equaling autism is technically correct. The CDC spells out exactly what is needed in the 2nd category (the first category being speech and social). A child could have sensory deficits and trouble with transitions, for example, but no restricted interests or repetitive behaviors , and still be considered autistic. They have to have two of the 4 criteria in the second category. Just wanted to share.

Thank you for sharing!💕💕 We appreciate it!💕💕
My feelings about tomatoes are pretty much the opposite of Ezra’s. I might eat a tomato if there is nothing else available and I’m hungry enough, but other than that I won’t usually eat a tomato especially if it hasn’t been cooked.
I was watching the shoe choice and I don’t know if you guys noticed but Ezra looked like he chose which ones by pointing to them with his feet. 😊
We did not! Thanks for pointing that out. 😊
@@7Aheadfamily Bye the way I hope Holly is feeling better.
Thank you. I am out of the hospital now.
My sister and I are both on the spectrum and we are both very sensitive to sounds.
My sister can listen to the radio with the volume turned almost all the way down which I have not been able to do since the 1980s or maybe the early 1990s. My hearing is just about average for my age.
You do very well it looks really hard work do you ever get a break😮
Yeah, we have a lot of fun to❤️❤️❤️

@7Aheahfamily I have a question for you guys what are some tips and some pointers to get my channel successful I would love to know thank you!!
Great question! It’s a lot of work for sure. ❤️ the best thing I would recommend is to get the book called the UA-cam formula and follow that as your guideline. It teaches the principles very well.
@@7Aheadfamily Thank you
@@Kenziescreativecorner9 you bet!
@@7Aheadfamily I just hit 3,000 subscribers and when I get to 100K subscribers, I think I can’t wait to get my silver play button!!
@@Kenziescreativecorner9 That’s awesome! We will celebrate with you ❤️
Making a decision at a restaurant I either need to pick it out early or I end up ordering what someone else orders.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective, it helps us understand our kids so much better. ❤️
@@7Aheadfamily that's my hope is for you and some of the people watching the channel I hope I can help the lives your precious angels. They're awesome kids and you do a great job of including them but also how the rest of your kids are treated is positive by how they treat each other.
Thank you 🙏. So glad to have you on the channel ❤️❤️❤️.
My sister and I are both sensitive to clothes (especially clothes with tags in them).
Does just staring at a black screen on a tv or just smth that changes pictures colors or design count?
I don’t know, you tell me. 😊
@@7Aheadfamily 😊
😊❤️
@@7Aheadfamily I have a question, does ezra have friends at his school or is he home schooled?
Ezra is home schooled. Every day he has therapists come over and work with him. ❤️❤️❤️
My Asperger’s syndrome, like when a child goes near balloons, I was afraid that the helium balloons are gonna pop and they almost always scare me. 🎈💥
I don’t like the sound of balloons popping either. So that makes sense.
@@7Aheadfamily even like when you take autistic kids to a fun fair where there’s a game where you can pop balloons with darts to win prizes, they can be over sensitive to the bursting noises. 🎯🎈💥
For sure! Yeah, it’s really important to know your triggers. ❤️
@@7Aheadfamily that’s right. 🙌🏻
😄
I have autism adhd and dislexia i can not stand some foods like pasta and tomatoes
Thank you for watching in sharing! So glad to have you joining us on the channel. 😊
I have issues with textuers who are to wet or dry. So in the cookie/tomatotest I had not took any of them. Btw, Simon did’nt choose for Ezra with the shoes, Ezra pointed with his feets and Simon instantly understood and ”translated” what Ezra ment 😊
Nice, you’re seeing things we missed. 😊
So with your textures issue, do you not like swimming?
@@7Aheadfamily wet or dry food, my sensitivity too textures are not so extreme :)
Btw, I have a theory that this example not is the only one there Simon understands Ezra easier than others :) I have autism and adhd to and I have more than one time experinced that other with autism understands me bettet than others do, maybe can be something you can think over if it can be the case with Ezra and Simon? :) I have no idea because I dont know you or your boys more than you show on youtube but its a theory anyway :)
You make a good point. I hope that Simon does understand Ezra better, so that we can hopefully understand him better. And Simon can clarify things for us and maybe be his voice for him while he’s figuring it out.
I'm watching this because I was diagnosed with asd at 6 years old and I have it for 18 years now
Thank you for watching!🩷🩷 We appreciate you!🩵🩵
Tomatoes are so nice especially with ketchup I don’t like much chewy foods I like crispy foods but tomatoes are different and cumber is nice too
I totally agree! Thanks watching and sharing ❤️!
I'm autistic and I realised that I sometimes elope without realising it even if I'm an adult. Here's an example to explain what mean: yesterday, I was at big event with a couple of friends. There was a big crowd and we were going around these little stands. At one point, I got overstimulated (one of my earplugs got a moved a little out of place) so, I stepped away from the crowd without telling anyone. I didn't think much about it until I saw my friend looking for me (he knows that I have autism and he knew that I wasn't able to speak at that moment due to another condition I have). Later, I felt bad for making him panic but he also knew that I just didn't think about telling him and that that is part of my autism. He also knows that I'm working on it and, most of the time, I can at least sign to him that I'm going to fix my earplugs/earphones or that I'm taking a break.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️He sounds like a great friend. We wish you the very best! 😊❤️💜
Pls make a video of simons signs of mild autism in 3yo.thank u
Thank you! We will put that on our list. 😊
Emmalina is like that she likes papers and treating paper , and crinkle them. Chews alot. Loves strings and bags too. She plays with a certain thing with toys over and over. Or something like a spoon and a wheel . She runs away too and goes and sits on chairs then runs . When she doesn't want you in room she pushes you out . She loves dish soap she eats the suds. Her flapping is clenching fists and waving hands in front of her face. She s been doing alot of auditory stimming lately. She definitely does the ear thing too. She doesn't like certain clothes either and will get them off . She's always taking her pullup down and running
Yes!!! That sounds vey similar to Ezra on so many accounts. Thanks watching and sharing ❤️!
@@7Aheadfamily I thought so even though I do realize from therapists that came for her they are all different some have similarities.
Very true!!!
Avem o mare deosebire de situatia,acelasi copil si nesupravegherea.
Nu imi amintesc prea multe...mereu ne comparam pe noi insine cu ei...
❤️
Can I get a another shirt?

How does the child of his or her parents know if he / she was correctly diagnosed with autism ? , Because shouldn't the specialist call the parents with the results ?
Yes, parents should definitely get results. I know we talked about that I believe in one of these videos. The doctor actually explains that if you don’t get all the information that you want them to reach back out and ask for more…

@@7Aheadfamily I show signs of Level 1 Autism mainly in having trouble with social interactions especially at my school for example because if someone verbally insulted me I get very frustrated very quickly making my mental state go downhill fast . Does low frustration tolerance go have to do with ASD ?
It could be, but Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by 3 specific challenges in social interaction, communication difficulties, and repetitive behaviors. An individual must have struggles with all three in order for them to be autistic. It is considered a spectrum disorder because it can manifest in a variety of ways and to varying degrees of severity. Autism affects individuals differently, and each person with autism has a unique set of strengths and challenges.
The only way to really know for sure if you have autism is to get checked out by a professional, which, if you have concerns, we always recommend.
Im not autistic but i am very sensitive to food, i hate the texture of fat on any meat ever since i was little.
Thank you for sharing!❤❤
It’s tomatoes and potatoes grapes
Thanks for sharing ❤️
How's it going
Doing well! Thank you for asking. Holly is feeling much better today. She got a heart monitor she’s wearing now. 😊
@@7Aheadfamily that's good I'm glad Holly is doing much better
Yes! Thank you ❤️
Hey it is brother allen
Hello! So glad you’re here! Thanks for watching and reaching out ❤️
Sensory input: I love playing with my beard. Food texture: enjoy melted cheese.
I can't stand peppers/anything spicy, not a fan of capsaicin.
Nice! Melted cheese is good. 😊
Do you like to put hot sauce on everything?
@@7Aheadfamily No, I don't like spicy stuff.
Ahh, read that wrong. ❤️❤️❤️
The food I can’t stand is bananas
What about in other things like a shake or something?
I can’t even have bananas and then
❤️❤️❤️
For me it is Jello
Thanks watching and sharing ❤️!
Me too, jello, pudding and stuff of that texture
Thank you! ❤️😊❤️

Me either actually. 😊
Does Ezra not enjoy eating ? He seems to always make a face unless he’s very hungry I noticed
Ezra likes meat and cheese. But we have to give him meal replacement shakes to help him get his nutrients. Because sometimes he goes through phases where he doesn’t like to eat.

Why the heck is Ezra screamimg
Ezra is from the bible (old testament)
Yea, we named him after an old testimony prophet. I don’t know why he’s screaming. It is one of his stims. And he likes to stim.
Ok how did you respond so fast
