Mine got diagnosed last week only and he is 5, you videos are giving me both hope and information. More power to your family.
You and your family are amazing! My son is 3 and was diagnosed about 9 months ago. I have dove into all things autism and trying to learn as much as I can about it. Your videos have helped so much, Thank you for doing what your doing!
thank you for taking the time to comment and sending love x
Love watching your videos. I also have a son (Vincent) with Autism. As first time parents it wasn't easy being told that my son had Autism. When he turned 18 months I noticed he wasn't reaching certain milestones with his language. We then spoke with his Pediatrician & he was officially diagnosed at 20 months. Since then he's been getting 2hr ABA therapy classes Mon-Fri & has even been going to a special school program from our county. He is now 3, almost 4 in November. He has made tremendous changes. He's learned sign language, his ABC's, Numbers from 1-20, colors, & shapes. He's so smart. Early intervention was the key to his growth. Thank you for posting & sharing the lives of you & of you Beautiful family. GOD bless you.
hello there thank you for your comment. That is increduble news, well done you for listening to your parental intution. Warms my heart to hear how well he is now doing. x
Thank you so much for your response. ☺
Oscar Molina how do you go about the ABA therapy ? Did you get a private therapist ?
What lovely parents you both are.. an exceptional family.💕beautiful
Anni Bridgett thank you so much x
This is really related with all what everyone goes through with kids diagnosed with Autism! ALL we should do is accept, love and support it! Good job, my friend!
Thank you so much xo
I have 4 year old boy, and he has autism, until now still so many questions in my head , and still scared, slowly but sure , I will learnt more and more, thanks for your video, you are wonderful mother, love from bali indonesia.
The production quality on this is PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENTARY level
I have a 7 1/2 year old son with autism. Some times I feel overwhelmed but I try to take one day at a time. Thanks for your video's
Erica Hernandez your doing a great job. It’s not easy and sometimes it’s totally overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to take time for our selves as well and to reach out and ask for help from this wonderful community that understand the journey that we are on. ❤️
Erica Hernandez I have autism and ADHD and anxiety and depression and learning disabilities and asthma
@@ComingHometoAutism Do you homeschool ? And what diet do you use with your son. My son is also ADHD. At this moment he is in a special ed class room and they call me everyday from school to pick him up. They don't know what to do with him anymore.
@@savannahjbarr hi Savannah do you take meds? My son is on 4 meds every day.
Erica Hernandez ya
May God bless this family everyday with love and support 😁
Jason Matthew thank you x
Thank you for sharing. My son was also diagnosed at 2, he is now 4. I am grieving. We have him in full time ABA but haven't seen any significant progress. A part of me feels as if I've lost my son and to just accept that he is gone. This is terrible to think but I'm trying to mentally cope the day to day challenges. I want to hope but I'm scared of heartbreak. Your video has given me a lot of hope that maybe my son can change. He is minimally verbal. I am also interested in the dietary changes you made. Thank you for sharing your journey. Your children are beautiful.
My little boy was just diagnosed ASD and ADHD June of this year. I feel so lost and helpless. We have the hardest time with his diet. He’s in his last year of preschool and I’m so scared for him and his transition into Kindergarten. Your videos have been such a blessing to me. Thank you
sending you so much love
Brilliant videos and so incredibly helpful and refreshing and reassuring.
Great film, feel like I've had a chance to catch up with Andrew, quite emotional really. Keep up the good work 💕
Mike Flannery thank you Mike. Been an adventure for sure x
Please make a video about Dylan’s diet! My son is 3 years old and I am currently transitioning him to a wheat free gluten free dairy free diet but it is so difficult since he will only eat a handful of foods. You both are doing an amazing job with Dylan, really you should be so proud of yourselves!
Isabel Zamora will do Coming soon. 🥰 I’ve just done a blog post on it as well x
I am so nervous for the next appointment. You done a really good job. Thank you for sharing.
Aleena Khan thank you for your comment. I know this is a very scary time for you right now. Try to take it one day at a time take a deep breath. It won’t be as bad as you think. Sending you a big hug xox
Aleena Khan hey you okay
savannah Barr yes I am ok . Thank you dear.
Aleena Khan your welcome and I have autism and ADHD and anxiety and depression and learning disabilities and asthma
Autism is beautiful my son has it and he is 3 and of course its a challenge but also a blessing and people like you are beautiful keep it up subscribed.
Dylan’s mom is wonderfully wonderful🥰
❤️🙏🏻
Im happy to see this channel. My son, 2.8yrs old, was diagnosed to be on the spectrum just this year (May 27, 2019, to be exact). It was devastating. Me and my family was residing in Qatar, working abroad. Due to the financial circumstances, my wife and my son needed to be back to the Philippines since the therapy is less expensive compare here at Qatar where it is ten times the price in PH. We cannot afford it. It was really hard, like I, we need to face two things. Being away from my son and my wife... And accepting that, yes, my son is in the spectrum.
Its been one and a half month since they went home to PH. My son was also 1 month old in his therapy. We are pleased by his improvement.
Wishing great things for Dylan. I know that the likes of our son is made for such unbelievable and amazing reasons. I am excited as it unfolds bit by bit.
More power to you channel! Please say hi to Dylan for me and my son, Stephen.
Ferdz Manlapig thank you for your comment and thank you for watching if I can be of any help please do let me know. I’m sorry you have to be away from your family that is hard I understand the struggle. Sending big hugs your way
Thanks for replying. 🙂 Means a lot.....😊 Luca is amazing.. My Stephen is currently doing ABA therapy program. Hoping for the best..
Ferdz Manlapig abs therapy is great you will start to see some
Progress soon x
Thank you so much
Your channel is helping me understand my grandson so much more. Thank you 😘🙏🙏
Linda from Ct Usa 👍🏻🇺🇸
Dealing with my autism and anxiety and depression and ADHD and asthma it’s hard and your son is so adorable and I hate loud noises and I graduated high school and I am 18 and when I was in school I was bullied and I hated it
savannah Barr well guess what your amazing . And those bullies are a drop in the ocean , in comparison to all the people who think your just wonderful. Well done your your going to go on and do wonderful things x
Coming Home to Autism aww thank you so much you are so sweet and I have volunteered at a daycare center and during the fall I am going to do it again I just love babies and little kids
When u start talking?
Tara, so lovely! Well done ❤️
Thanks beautiful
You are great parents . I love watching your channel.
Thank you x
Still, you have done a great job as a mother raising your children
Thank you so much 😊
I also got diagnosed at the age of 2. I have high functioning Aspergers and luckily I got diagnosed early, I know people who have gone their entire life and didn’t know.
Preference topic: Dylan’ speech progress how and when ??? When in single word and started strings words together?? When started asking questions???when started asking deep and meaningful and explanation and more….I loved loved loved his attention and attitude and posture in most recent
Please please share tips for toilet training :) my son is 3 and he got diagnosed a few months ago
I love your positivity and find your videos so interesting. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Julie Sinclair thank you so much xox
I would really appreciate it if you could do a video on early intervention. My son was diagnosed at 3 but myself and the nursery knew at about 2 years he has speech and language and occupational therapy on site at the nursery. Any tips for things to do at home to support children with ASD.
You are the best parents
Absolutely gorgeous. Have you moved to your new home? I admire your entire family and in spite of the struggle you are growing in wisdom and God Bless you all. The party was special. Lovingly, Carmel ☘️👍🙏😷
Thank you so much we haven’t moved yet we are moving in two weeks . Lots to do .. were moving in to a rental first because our house is not ready yet x
Does dairy effects in autism ? I give my baby formula milk is it okay?
Leoosand Gurung hey there. Dairy doesn’t effect autism but about 80% of children have gut issues and for some children it can upset their tummies. But if your baby is doing well and has regular bowel movements and growing , its suiting him just fine 🥰
Hi, I have Autism & I don’t like birthday things as well 😀
Ur channel is great
Colleen Caddick thank you so much . That’s so kind of you to say. Birthdays are hard but you can celebrate in your own way ❤️
Ur welcome & there r hard coz the routine is different but I put a routine in place & that helps, I find Christmas is the same 👍😀
It’s take time but worth the try everything will be okay
Day In life absolutely x
Great channel 💜 Love watching your videos! My almost 5 year old has ASD as well. He has lots of words and phrases, but has yet to speak naturally in full sentences. He also has delayed echolalia which accounts for most of his expressive language. Did your son have those kinds of language issues? How old was he when you were finally able to have a conversation with him? What about food issues? My son only eats a few different things, and refuses to try anything new. By the way...I'm sorry for the bombardment, but I'm rarely able to get perspective from any other autism moms lol This is the loneliest journey. I am thankful that he can speak at all, but I'm still truly broken inside. The despair I feel sometimes is all consuming to the point of anxiety attacks. I just want so badly for him to enjoy a normal life. I pray he achieves the amount of progress your son has. Your videos gives me so much hope. I'll be looking forward to your next one :)
Josette Hicks hi I also have a child with autism he is 4 y/o speaks few words at a time. You are doing a great job! Keep it up and I also feel down sometimes but I think this is natural but I always look the glass half full rather than anything. I try to get a break during the day to not be too overwhelmed. I get nanny once in a while to get respite. When I do this I get recharged and ready again to teach my son and apply the management from his therapies. He is a sweet boy lots of kisses I get from him and he loves playing with us. I too am hoping he will speak sentences soon. You are a great mom and a great person overall keep it up💖 You’re not alone
@@jaypeelandingin2574 Thank you for your kind words 💜
Josette Hicks u
Hi Tara, I’ve been watching you since my son got diagnosed 3 years ago! I was wondering if you were ever going to show all the old videos again? They honestly help me a lot and now that my sister is going through the same thing I did I wish they were still available for her to watch. In one of the videos I know you talked about how you wanted to try everything including a chaman. I would love if you could make a video about biomedical treatment and if you ever try it with Dylan.. Thanks so much in advance
Hi there all my videos are on my Coming home to autism clips Hm on UA-cam every single video I’ve ever made it still available to watch on there x
First of all, you guys are wonderful parents, I love your videos, they give me so much hope for my son. I keep hearing about the diet but i was wondering if you can be more specific about it maybe even recipes and tips on how to remove foods that are highly loved but bad for them. Thank you!
Bettys Eyeson absolutely we will do a video ok this once we are home from honeymoon xo
Enjoy! Thank you!
Hi Tara, is there a video where you talk about his diet?
Give me hope
My son is receiving early intervention and is turning 3 in November so we will no longer have early intervention he will be going to school the following day after he turns 3. I’m in a phase where idk how the transition to school will be for all of us. Can you do a video of how you felt once he entered school? It will be very helpful for me . God bless you and your beautiful family .
hi there
thank you for your comment, absolutely i will do a video on that as well, i am actually writing a blog post on it at the moment too x
Kimberlyn Ortiz this is great that he is going to a school. It was very tough at the start. Is he going to a specialist school? I was upset in the beginning as I felt he was only little but I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do for him to go. Once he got in to a routine and got to know the place he was fine. It really was the best thing for him x
Coming Home to Autism well the school district actually is sending him out of district in a specialized school and the problem is that it’s is too far. Maybe less than an hour away but for me it feels far because I’ve been with my son every single day through this early intervention. We are actually visiting the schools tomorrow and Thursday so maybe just by seeing them, will change our minds. They do provide public transportation but as any parent watching the news, I’ve seen all these incidents with the school buses and it doesn’t really make the situation better for me lol. Overall the idea of not being with each other will be hard. I left him with my mother in law Saturday and he just was super upset and scratched her ,pulled her hair at one point they were asking us to come home, we didn’t because he has to learn to calm down. And the same will be for once he attends school or maybe it will be different since he will be with other kids .
I am the opposite I have high functioning Aspergers and I want people to sing as loud as they can happy birthday to me and I have to have a big bash every time. I could be 100 and I will still be having big parties.
Thanks for inspiration. . My grandson also diagnosed with Autism. Same like you first child, he is now 3yrs. What do you think having one more child will be better as sibling or is there risk again ?
I guess your 2nd and 3rd child are pretty normal by grace of god
i talk a lot about having another baby and a sibling for dylan in my vidoe answering questions vaccines ect.. hope this helps x
Please tell us about diet because my son having constipation Please let us know is there need to change his milk also he is drinking powder milk
I have pdd nos which is under the autism spectrum umbrella
I would highly recommend MNRI therapy created by Svetlana Masgutova. It has got the potential of being like Hyperloop when many other therapies are like horse and buggy. It can change significantly the fundamental fundamentals.
I am autistic. I can say that it is better to say an autistic person rather than a person with autism. Usually people say a person with diabetes, a person with depression, etc. Autism isn't a disease. It is just a different way of life.
absolutely xx
Hello! I found your channel because my 6 year old was recently diagnosed ASD, and wanted to ask you if you have told your son about his condition? I am not sure if and when to talk about this with him. I hope your boy is getting better and from the bottom of y heart
Thank you for doing the videos!
Hi there welcome to my channel and thank you for stopping by. Yes we’ve always told Dylan about his autism we’ve never made it a secret as I don’t want to be something that he is ashamed of I don’t want it something that upset him instead, accepting it’s part of who he is. just like we’re all different in my house Luca has red hair , and dylan has autism. I would tell people in front of him when he was little and then bought books on it and we just spoke about it very honestly . Dylan now thinks his autism is a super power x
I am from Bangladesh..my only daughter has been diagnosed asd last month..I am in Qatar now...working here as a HR officer..my family in my country...Dr suggest me take admission my daughter in special school..my has broken..I can't accept ..because upto 2 years my daughter reached her all mylstone..now what I will do..please advise me .
My son diagnosed autistics syndrome, how to raise children with autistic
How did you change his diet pls my son Alfie is aged 9 and diagnosed with autism and dyspraxia too x
When did you son start talking ? My son is 2.5 and still not talking, he’s been diagnosed with a development delay but I believe there is some mild Autism in there aswell, they won’t test them here in Australia till he’s 3 which is fine as a diagnosis wouldn’t change what we are doing now anyway (speach therapy , OT etc) I just feel like he’s never going to talk, also did you son have trouble when he was little with general comprehension ? Like as in if you have him an Instruction or spoke to him would he always understand what you ment? we’re struggling with that aswell
hey there dont worry your son is still so young. dylan didnt start until he was 5/6 please watch our video on speech therapy it may help x
