This is a true example of an incredible father. I saw your video when you were making your son face his fears by going into the water. Your kid is going to grow up and be an extremely capable individual. Such an incredible family, and very inspiring.
watching a parent care this much for his child is very heartwarming. I've no doubt that he will grow up very well with all the support and care you give him.
A bit of personal info about myself. I am 25 about to turn 26. 8 was diagnosed with really strong ADHD as a kid around 6-8. I only recently in the past couple years had to face the fact of HOW non-neurotypical I really am.... For me it has been one of the hardest challenges I have ever had to face. Not only for my ego and learning to humble myself, but also learning not to debase myself either. I've had suspicions since I was a child that I was on the ASD spectrum. Watching your videos I've had SO many flashbacks and reflections of myself in my childhood. How I behaved and how people reacted to that, or tried hard to shove me in their ideas of good boxes. For lack of a better metaphor... I cannot!.. I cannot express how grateful I am to have found your channel! Watching how y'alls perception of autism is, has helped me learn better ways of re-parenting myself, and to better accept myself and embrace my not normaness. With much love from Colorado ~Fish
Hey Fish, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad we can help! We love CO by the way... We did a 2 week trip in February through UT, CO, and MT to ski. We had a blast in CO.
as an individual with chronic depression, i needed this reminder. just today i got an incredible compliment from a friend. this video plus the compliment reminded me that i am super awesome in more ways than i am limited.
Great video Chad! It is so important to let a son with Autism about the positive qualities he has. It can get really stressful with this condition and we look at the negatives so easily. New subscriber here, you have some amazing parenting skills!
Your family is an inspiration! I am only 17 and though I’ve done some aid work in the past, you have completely opened my eyes further into the world of autism and parenting. Thank you guys for sharing your stories. Keep spreading love
I agree with you 100% Chad. Max has some incredible strengths. I lacked all sorts of motor skills and coordination, when I was his age. I'm still pretty clumsy, but I have trained a lot on my motor skills. I have done some martial arts training, which was very good. I have also danced a lot (mostly latin and ballroom), to the degree where people thought I should get a career as a dance teacher. So it's very possible to train, at least some of the motor skills. I think Max is doing great, and I think that in the future he might have good use for his current skills.
This reminds me so much of myself when I was younger. Especially the motor skill thing was so relatable for me, seeing Max on the trampoline like that was like seeing myself. I just had to comment. I did very well at sports, like soccer and skateboarding (in fact I got so good at soccer that I ended up playing on a county-team and more) but found it difficult to paint, draw and fine-motor activities like that. Another fun fact is that I was able to run and keep balance when I was only 9 months old! I'm glad you guys are so aware and try to highlight his strengths, that is so important. It makes me happy to see how much you care and try to understand your son. I'm still struggling to this day with being a "people-pleaser", as I did not get diagnosed before I was 25, so most of my childhood and during school was mostly focused on what I did wrong and what I couldn't/wasn't able to do
Max might have a future as a meteorologist! 😀I love this conversation about strengths--good reminder for ALL parents & educators to find and link every child's gifts and talents. (MK)
Being good at directions is SO SUPER USEFUL. I've always been horrible at it. It's brought me a lot of fear and anxiety. Play up your strengths Max, you got tons!!!
I think I could never be such a great parent. For starters I will start crying every sinlge time I hug him/her lol. Like they're so cute, I never want them to grow up.
Strengths to overcome the weaker abilities. We have a train sme at home and we used that for a while, but we are trying to challenge him with other subjects to find other passions that will also serve him to connect with more people. Social anxiety is becoming a big issue and learning to connect is my main area of work with him.
I've been subscribed ever since the bath video and love these videos. I'm personally battling with an autism diagnosis for myself and these are so encouraging to see the beautiful side of autism. So cool you're in WA, I see your Central Washington sweatshirt. I'm in Spokane so sending hugs from the east side, would love to see more videos and continue to follow along Max. I'm learning a lot from these videos about myself and I really appreciate what you're doing for your son. I didn't have a dad so this is really heartwarming for me, and I'm sure many others!
I really appreciate the way he looks people in the eyes so much when chatting with them. Even neurotypical people have trouble doing that sometimes. But this is a great video. It's always nice to hear conversations about how people overcome the various struggles of raising someone on the spectrum, but it's a great reminder that not every atypical thing about an autistic person is necessarily something negative. Always nice to be reminded of the strengths.
SO good! Your Max reminds me so much of my Max. We are just over the border from you guys in Chilliwack BC. My Max is turning 7 and I’m excited for him to be able to hold longer conversations like your Max can. We’ve used Max’s strength to help him in big ways as well. Max was non-verbal until age 3.5 and we got him to start speaking by using letters in a fun way. Max is hyperlexic and so letters and numbers are a big motivator for him. It’s awesome to hear how you have recognized that using his strengths to help the areas of struggle works and works well! God bless you guys in your continued journey!
Max reminds me so much of myself and in some ways the opposite. I love sports and sports stats. Stats explain the differences between the teams in black and white what it will take to win. I am the same way only because of age I can tell you about a game 10 plus years ago. The memory has really helped me to learn something in school very quickly. Max that is a huge help. I love weather also Max. I got a barometer around your age for Christmas and still have it. Being able to sense rain has really helped me in Florida where the rain really does come quickly or can completely miss me and rain everywhere around me. When a hurricane comes close I get very into following where it will hit. My brother who is also on the spectrum loves roads and telling us what to do. Sometimes he doesn't understand driving in a subdivision isn't the safest driving but it maybe shorter. The one big difference is I am the opposite my fine motor skills are fine not perfect but good. I have zero athletic ability I think it has made me respect athletes even more. I was the last kid picked growing up even though I loved Gym it wasn't due to a lack of wanting to just I have a slow reaction time. I joke whatever goes up must come down on my head or foot. Max I have no doubt you can be on your own and meet the love of your life and do what you dream of doing better than anyone in your class. Autism isn't fun but I want you to hear it from me and other people who have been in your shoes that we believe in you and I know your family does too. You can work on your weaknesses but everyone has them. Take advantage of your strengths the singular focus can make you the best in whatever you put your mind too. I hate to say it but you make good money doing something you are great at you can get help in other areas.
Can we please see a video on how he finds "Relationships" and growing new friendships? Whether that be just with friends, potential Girl Friends, Or talking to Girls in general, Or making new friends/ Communication with someone he doesn't know. As a child with Autism, I found this very hard to build on and adapt into, what others found easily and normal I found more difficult and would love to know your son's Perspective on this? Love the videos 👍
Bob, I'll ask Max. I suspect though, that this topic will be hard for him to articulate. Because he is pretty hard on people he is close to, we talk a lot about relationships and how to treat others. It might be a tough thing for him to explain.
@@jcyoungquist Thanks so much for the reply, The work you do and especially Max is fantastic. I appreciate the fact that this topic may be a hard one for him to explain, But I feel I had to put it out as I believe so many people will benefit from Max's views on this subject. Great to hear from you Chad.
That’s savant level memory! I wish my autism had good memory strengths. We’re all unique though so i should be happy with the strengths I have I guess :)
I really love your videos and all, i think i would be so much nicer if in this video you would talk directly to max and not say „max has“, „he has“... just tell it directly to him „you are“, „you have”! ❤️
I really enjoy watching y'all's UA-cam Videos! You are an Awesome Dad and Max is an Awesome Kid! My Strengths focus on Vocabulary I right now have 120 IQ for Vocabulary and when I was 10 or 11 years old I already had a Vocabulary level of an Adult. I also know about Rare Psychological Disorders that My Counselor didn't know even existed. When I was in My 1st Spanish Class as a Freshman in College My Professor thought I must have taken Spanish Classes before because of how much Spanish Vocabulary I already knew and I hadn't taken any Spanish Classes before that class, only read a children's book of Spanish Vocabulary Words.
Max reminds me of myself a little, but we have many differences. I have excellent long term memory, but it seems I remember cold hard facts, like the distances from the sun to each planet; I never seemed good at statistics, that is I didn't do well with information that kept changing. I could remember so much about things places other than Earth but I could not remember how to tie shoelaces. My coordination was always bad, I wish I could be so accurate in throwing or catching something. It seems all my motor skills need work even to this day.
i have fucking amazing long term memory (i remember shit from 7 years ago rly easily) but shitty short term memory. also i have even shittier hand eye coordination but then im fucking AMAZING at rhythm games (went from clicking at 5nps to 25 in 9 months) and hard roblox obbies n shit (le ones dat require glitches) oh and skiing is fun and turns out im rly fucking good at it too (i can do blacks after skiing for only 2.5-5 months total over 6 years) :D
anyone else come from teh bath vid?

He is in coding classes right now in junior high. The tough part for Max is that if it's school or something that requires a lot of effort, he gets frustrated pretty quickly.
Max is a studier. I'll catch him in the corner reviewing sports scores or weather highlights all the time. He studies, digests, and logs it into memory.

@crystal autistic, I am aware. Although, you do not speak for the entire autistic community. Ive heard from many people on the internet that all aba is bad. I have also heard from a lot of autistic adults in real life that aba helped them tremendously.I am curious to hear as many views on the topic as possible. While I respect your opinion, I refuse to go down the "anti-aba no matter what" debate with random people on the internet. I've been down it, and unfortunately there is usually little room for a meaningful discussion.
It's true. Max doesn't like talking about the stuff he's really good at. But the world needs positivity and we need to find strengths in each other and compliment those strengths with positive affirmation. So this video was less conversation and more positive affirmation. As far as Max needing to develop his communication skills... well, we're working on it every day. Maybe you should work on being cordial.
Questions. 1. Who said I was making money? If I am, how do you know it's not being deposited into a trust for Max? 2. Why do you call it a disability, especially when we're talking about his strengths?
@@jcyoungquist dude i call it a disability because it is. I have disability's Im high functioning special needs. the reason why I know your making money off youtube is because of ur views for video and ur subscriber count. also there are ad's playing on your video which u have to manually toggle and u get 8% of the money the ad makes.
This is a true example of an incredible father. I saw your video when you were making your son face his fears by going into the water. Your kid is going to grow up and be an extremely capable individual. Such an incredible family, and very inspiring.
Wow, thank you!
Totally agree
THANK GOD HE IS HAVING A FATHER LIKE HIM 👏🏻🙌🏻
Hes so bright so beautiful how strong your relationship is with max he is an amazing boy keep him close this world is ugly
watching a parent care this much for his child is very heartwarming. I've no doubt that he will grow up very well with all the support and care you give him.
I would love to talk with him sometime. He seems incredibly bright and nice!
He is almost exactly like how I was at that age

One word. Awesome. I am in awe at how great a Dad you are, how great the relationship between you and your son is, and how amazing Max is. Wow.
Wow, thank you!

It's really really touching. People outside may not understand how hard / how touching it is
Thank you!
ok....that soft headbutt at the end got to me. No words.....but that act spoke volumes. Great job Dad!
It's how he greets me every morning, and I love it!
Max, you are awesome!!! I know he is smart, handsome, awesome with that football - but does your dad give hugs lol Great video, big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
Getting giant hugs from Max is one of the best parts of my day. I'm SO THANKFUL he enjoys personal touch.

Max seems very good at those numbers and mechanics? Does he have interest in coding? Or any languages like HTML, Java, Pandas, etc.
He is in coding classes right now in junior high. The tough part for Max is that if it's school or something that requires a lot of effort, he gets frustrated pretty quickly.
My daughter is also diagnosed with Autism. The only symptom she have is Poor eye contact, I see Max makes good eye contact
Max's eye contact is what originally caused doctors to rule out autism. So he's always done a pretty good job, at least with those he's familiar with.
Can He MAYBE Tell us what the BITCOIN Price will be by end this year? 🤔
HAHAHA!
Hi
Does Max use a special trick to remember things or it's just naturally ? I have a hard time remembering things that's why.🤔
Max is a studier. I'll catch him in the corner reviewing sports scores or weather highlights all the time. He studies, digests, and logs it into memory.
