My sibling is on the spectrum and went undiagnosed up until his teenage years, although our family always thought in the back of our minds that he might be autistic. What I can say is that I've seen the beauty in my sibling as he navigates life on the spectrum. For him, he is incredibly detail oriented and a very deep thinker, which has been fascinating to witness! His mind operates in ways I cannot even grasp, nor replicate! With supports in place, he enjoys school, he is learning how to drive, and he is thinking about attending university in the future! I hope that our story gives some comfort. I have definitely witnessed the power of God in my sibling's life.
@@lizzyaalexis7850 wow thank you so much for sharing! It is comforting to hear about your brother. Praying for him and your family as he keeps going after his dreams. 🙏🏻🤗💕
Thanks for doing this. You truly are helping others. I learn so much from you. It is hard when we worry about our child; very, very hard.
I appreciate you so, so much for being here !
@@LenaSheppard thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement! I really appreciate it.
❤ Thank you for the perspective.
@@carolyndalton7775 thank you for watching 🤗💕
Have you had his bloodwork done? I am a doctor and I am also a mother. The way you describe his behaviour and development I got the impression that maybe he has had low Vitamin B12 levels. Ifyou haven’t had anyone check on that I would recommend you to have that done soon. Please feel free to contact me if you want to talk more about that in detail.hopefully your pediatrician has already thought about that possibility anyways… all the best for you and your boys
@@MsEdony thank you so much for the suggestion. We just got his blood drawn today. But I’ll contact my doctor and see if checking his B12 was part of the labs. He is an extremely picky eater so I wouldn’t be surprised if his levels were off.
@@littlegirlarise_ I've been reading the comments on your video and before I comment separately, I'd love to recommend Renzo's vitamins-- Picky Eater and Iron Strong have been two very amazing supplements for my now almost 6 year old son. He is also extremely picky with food and these paired with Orgain Protein drinks for kids has helped him gain weight and regain his appetite. It's also helped with brain function and emotion regulation. ❤ (We also limit his sugar intake hard-core, if he has sugar....all bets are off and he is off the walls.)
Your sweet family is in my prayers. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much, Dana! I truly appreciate all your prayers. 🥹🤗💕
My niece has a little boy that will be three yrs old in September. I have three boys myself and i know that all kids are different. And when you experience three different personalities of little boys you pretty much can tell when something is not right. When i saw her son at 1 year old I could see that something was not quit right. I never heard him say a word, i never saw him smile, much less laugh and it was his birthday party. He really didn't look at you, but looking at his eyes , how can i put it?.......it seemed like nobody was in there like blank. I mentioned it to my husband he observed. But didn't mention it to his sister. so when we see him again he was going on two years older. Now everyone knows the terrible two stage. This baby was the same. It broke my heart. My husband finally brought it up with his sister. But she is in denial. She feels that hes just shy, and maybe allittle behind schedule. Unfortunately he will be 3 in September and till this day i have NEVER heard him say a word. My husband nor i will not mention it because my husband does not want to have a fallout with his sister because my husband told her he needed to get examined so if he is autistic they could start helping him while he's still little. And that my niece thinks that he is fine. Its her only child and maybe she just doesn't want to accept that her baby need help.
@@leticiabustamante474 praying for your niece and her son! It’s very hard for some people to see in their own children. It was hard for me. For a while I thought he would just grow out of his behaviors but through working with experts I realized that wasn’t the case. It was good of your husband to let his sister know his concerns but after that you just have to pray for them and the child. I really hope he gets the help he needs.
Thank you for sharing your experience, my boy is the same age as yours and also shows autistic behaviors. Except rather than regressing he started as a baby not developing normally until I noticed, and made some changes.
When he was born he was perfect. Only cried for a minute when he was hungry, then latched and was fine. Until we got him vaxxed he was like that. Then all the sudden he wouldn't latch and I had to force him to feed. Wouldn't drink from a bottle either, so I had to just force him to latch. Non stop crying for at least three hours a day, plus frequent crying throughout the day until he was five months. Doctors didn't help. When he was five months I had to start feeding him puree, force feeding since he wouldn't eat. He was super mal nourished and was behind on development. Started standing at 1, walking at 1 and a half. He did the hand flapping, head banging, no understanding of communication, just would make some repetitive sounds.
This went on until I got the wisdom to try to get those heavy metals out of him. Every meal I started sneaking chlorella and dandelion into his food. He improved in a couple weeks. Now we're to the point he can eat porridge still spoon fed but I don't have to force him to open his mouth, and sometimes he will hold the spoon with me to put it in his mouth, independently eat snacks that are not wet or sticky, weight is of a typical 2 and a half year old, no stimming but now he can do many gestures and imitating, as well as he plays with cars normally now with driving them, not just spinning the wheels over and over, cannot communicate well with others still but he knows words and even knows the alphabet and numbers. I believe communication will take time since he lost out on so much for his first year. I started taking him to a good daycare recently and thankfully he is developing even more with communication now. He can't say a sentence yet but recently started saying a word then babbling like he is saying a sentence or asking a question.
So from my experience I recommend focusing on getting a lot of nutrition as well as detoxing heavy metals, and working on communication as much as possible. Praise Yahuah he has been guiding me when I started seeking him, and my boy is slowly but surely getting back to normal. Hope my story helps
Thanks for sharing. Have you heard of Natasha Campbell-McBride? She is a Dr who has treated paediatric patients with neuro divergence using nutrition and seen a reduction in symptoms x
@@cherryblossom412 thank you so much for sharing. My son is an extremely picky eater but I will try and get those supplements in him. His eating is actually the number one source of stress with his autism.
I am wishing you and your son to go through this with ease and God's help, I have 3 kids ... all ADHD, not an easy journey...when I am myself also have ADHD diagnosed..... but I am holding on.... you seem to be a very loving and understanding mom, I am praying for you!
Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. I’m praying for you and your children! God truly does see you through. Sometime I think how can I handle more? But then God sees me through it. I’m also reminded by people like you that my plate may be full but so many other moms have full plates too. We are not alone. 🤗💕🙏🏻
Also, thanks for this upload and info. Can you please share eith us more video on his signs ? Will help us with our worries to asses our kida even more
@@stefanias1485 I think the biggest early sign was that even when he spoke it was never interactive with me. If he vocalized it wasn’t a conversation. He would say things appropriately but they weren’t always directed at anyone in particular.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and experiences with your son. It is so SO hard sometimes because it's a silent mental impairement/difference. A lot of people cannot tell right away that your child might have something different about them and it can make it harder, it almost feels like it would be easier if they could just see it without anything needing to be explained....for why they clap their hands out of excitement or why they don't talk as a toddler or why they don't interact the way most children do out in public. The other side is wondering why, why did this happen but you are absolutely right. You looked at all of the bright sides to this type of situation and that's all you or anyone can do. We don't always know why God allows things to happen the way they do but as long as we know He's always there with us, we can trust that we'll get through it. I related so much to your story with losing sleep over being out of control of the future......potty training was the number one stress in my life with my son, almost a year later and we are nearly finished with it. I am praying for you and your family. ❤❤
My son is almost 6 and I homeschool him and my almost 9 year old daughter. I have 2 more children under them. It's full around here but I suppose God knows that I can handle it even if I don't always. 😅 (p.s. In looking through so many videos and blogs on autism, I found that I may very well be "high functioning" autistic as well. I went through public school so I "masked" heavily but understanding that has helped me understand my son even better now. ❤❤❤❤
@@amberican927 thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s so comforting to hear from other moms farther along than me. Potty training is something I get nervous thinking about but I keep reminding myself that we will cross that bridge when he is ready and he’s definitely not ready yet. 🤗💕
@@littlegirlarise_ Yes, you're exactly right. I kept trying to force it and then giving up completely in a cycle. I wish I would have just realized he was not going to be ready and capable until later and that's okay. We're all still here, all still alive. 😅 You're already in the right mindset so, you're ahead. ❤❤❤
If I only had an incline back then. What you said made me remember. My ex husband and I took a trip together to my parents and after 2 week he went back home to get back to work, and I stayed longer. My son that for 2 months was already great with solid food to the point I barely produced much milk stopped eating all solids and only wanted milk. He was 8 months old. Even to accept a bottle took a month. Funny I never noticed I tipped toe walked until I was 52. Now that I got diagnosed a lot make sense. I'm working on getting my son diagnosed. The way you describe your son is almost to a T to me and my son. My son is a computer engineer BTW and your son is way ahead because he has a mom that paid attention and is getting the help he'll need throughout his life.
@@IaneHowe thank you so much for sharing!! That give me so much hope. 🤗💕
Unfortunatelly once a kid is autistic the next sibilings might be autistic too.. just saing so you can krep an eye on Oliver for the signs
@@stefanias1485 I know. Thankfully he is already much more social than his brother ever was. Even at a young age. Praying we don’t experience any regressions with him.
