    You are such a good mum, my oldest son is nearly 5 and he is non verbal (so far) I am learning as I go and I am a single dad with Otis and his little brother Eli who has just turned 2. It’s nice to see how full of life he is, he is so similar to my boy, the tablet would be glued to his face if I let him 😂 he is very sensory too (especially with peoples hair) I do worry a lot about where he will be in 5-10 years time as the thought of him being non verbal forever at this stage really scares me. I guess it’s just taking things one day at a time and not really thinking about that far ahead, he is receiving lots of help and it really was nice watching this and seeing how well you and your husband deals with the situation. Thank you

      Thanks to everyone taking their time to read this testimony on how my son was saved from Autism.
      He was diagnosed four years ago, and he's just 6, I have tried several treatments and medications, nothing was working out, this got me frustrated and depressed. I kept praying and finally God answered my prayers when someone from youtube introduced me to this doctor from his home country and gave me his contact details.
      I called and explained my son's condition after which I made an order for his herbal remedy, he asked for my address and the next day I got a tracking number for a parcel sent to me through DHL and after four days I received my order.
      It was a liquid herbal medicine and a letter containing the instructions on how to use the herbs, I called him again to confirm and the next morning I started giving my son the herbs as instructed and after one week I noticed great improvement on my son and I continued until the herbs got finished and everything lasted for just one month and now my son is totally free from Autism, he can now talk clearly, behave normally and has no more seizures.

    Hi from Sydney, Australia.I ❤ your channel. you're a great mum. I'm autistic and dyslexic with server OCD. I was serverly autistic as a child and non verbal. I repeated years one and two and didn't speak till 9.I was forced to do abusive ABA in the 90s. Where you're forced to sit still and punished cause I couldn't speak. It was because I couldn't work out how to breathe in enough to form words. Your kids are beautiful. You're doing a great job, u and dad. My advice is that when it's time to try getting them to read, put a piece of paper under every sentence. It helps a lot to focus on the line that's being read.I have one son with server ADHD and a disability that when he eats his body doesn't tell him his full. He will eat till his sick and always hungry. One child's hard 3 omg women you deserve a medal.

      @carpetstick 3 роки тому

      @@PfaffFive I know this isn't my comment but wanted to give some input as a fellow autistic; a lot of people "mask" their autism, and try to act more neurotypical, usually because they've been taught that the way they behave or act isn't socially acceptable. Masking is a really damaging thing (I've done it my entire life pretty much, still struggling to unmask and to really figure out who I am because of it), so making sure your kids are comfortable being who they are, allowing them to stim and pursue their interests and hobbies without being judgemental or anything like that would be ideal.
      Also wanted to mention that the principals behind ABA are to pretty much train the autism out of the autistic (which is not possible, since autism is a neurological difference in the brain. An autistic brain's hard wiring cannot be trained to become neurotypical!) I'm not the most educated in the subject, but I would recommend you check out people like Paige Layle and other autistics' informed thoughts about it (there are plenty of people who have gone through the supposed good ABA and have talked about their traumas and later struggles because of it).
      Anyway, sorry for the ramble, I hope you're doing well.

      Some kids that are on the spectrum have a tendency of throwing or dropping things either purposely or or accidentally when stimming. I still drink out of a "sippy" cup (non-leak/reduced leak) sports type cup/bottle due to some other issues and I'm over 30, and quite frankly sippy cups are just cheaper than the sports bottles that are sold in the water bottle section.

      @@zuloee like, you did read the comment, right? I did say that I am older than 30........ I think that should explain things...... but the point is is that some people who have some issues with hand control such as their grip and tremors benefit from using sippy cup like drink containers that are either leak proof or leak resistant and also break proof/resistant so that should one drop or accidentally throw (like I often do) don't end up having to pick up a broken cup and/or clean up a liquid spill.
      However, my point is is that sippy cup like cups are not just useful for those who are getting off of bottles as plenty of people who find them useful are too afraid of the stigma of someone wondering why the hell they are using something that is useful for them even though it is made for children but with me, I have learned to not only ignore that stigma but also educate others about things like this.
