Its amazing how you show this for awareness of autism ❤ it really helps since i have autism too and it makes me understand how to settle it! Good luck Enzra on your school ❤❤❤❤
Y’all look so chilled out in the morning’s which definitely keeps your kids chilled which is a fantastic quality to have. I just don’t know how you keep your energy levels up day after day. It’s very impressive. Btw, just an observation from afar, Ezra seems to be developing and progressing his motor skills seeing how he managed the eating on his own with a spoon and attempting to put on his shoes. The school will doubtless work and develop these skills along with everything else they do such that Ezra can progress and develop at a speed that works for him. Said it before and I am gonna say it again, you are fantastic parents to all your kids.
What a job you have every morning! It’s so great you’re both so organized to help everything go smoothly. So glad Ezra finally got in such a great school!
I didn't bother making my bed for years. Probably at least 20 years. I just started about a year ago, but I just throw the blanket over. Only so I can use the bed as a table to put things on. 30 seconds. Nothing fancy and I don't take alot of time doing it. When I lived at home, there was 5 people. I always woke up an hour before everyone, so I had the washroom to myself.
Hei. I want to thank you guys on behalf of all autistic parents out there. Thanks for sharing your private life moments so that other parents can educate. I myself had a very big help from you guys trying to understand my own daughter. She is 4 and not long ago she been diagnosed with autism. Well she is not fully diagnosed yet, we are still on a paperwork and thats why your channel was more helpful than even government instances. I started to collect the information about autism and started to browse through youtube pages in order to try to understand better my daughter and I somehow landed on your guys page. The thing that made me very attached to your page that when I look to your son Ezra it is like I am looking 100% to my daughter. All the behaviour, the sounds, the acting its samme. She is also nonverbal, just loves to sing, say meaningless phrases from TV but hardly using language on the right time for purpose. When my daughter been diagnosed I understood that I myself do have an autism too. The eyecontact, struggling with changes, anxiety, super organized and so on...though 30 years of my life I was living as normal without somebody even suspecting cause I myself never heard about autism before. I even studied economics in one of the best universities in Norway, even though I am not originally from there. I also have a piano degree. Studied 7 years in private piano school. I am sharing that with other parents so that they know that being autistic doesnt mean that your child can not do things in the future or have an education. Dont give up on your children. Play on their strenghts so that they do achieve things. You never know, maybe they will do even better than other kids. Anyway to summarize I just want again to thank you guys for sharing your life with us. And tell you that it really matters what you are doing and is helpful for some of us. We are going through the samme struggles. Thanks again ❤
This is my first time watching. I am a grandmother of a five and six year old. They are the best part of my life. Thank you so much for all this info. I learned so very much. I love your whole family. I was one of 5 girls so big families are my favorite. I will definitely be a regular follower. God bless you all, what an AWESOME job you do❤
In my former school years, those who were mildly autistic were in the learning disabled class. While moderately autistic children studied in the employment class. Students with moderate intellectual disabilities studied there. The severely autistic children studied in the autistic class, where there were also children with severe intellectual disabilities. As a student, I studied in a class with learning disabilities. Compared to a normal elementary school, the requirements, amount and content of learning were weaker. However, the Special Primary School class was stronger than the requirements and things to learn in the Employment and Autism class.
Have you tried spraying some air freshener before Ezra comes into the kitchen? Maybe that would help. I do try to make my bed most mornings. It just makes me feel good when I walk into the room and the bed is made. I love to see all your dear children. Our grandson, age 4 with level 2 autism, is such a joy. He is just starting to be "aware" of the world, if you know what I mean? Just started potty training. Fingers crossed. Lol Have a blessed day.
I was just reading online the other day that as recently as the 1950s some high chairs had a receptacle in them similar to what you would find in a potty chair. In the event that Ezra tends to “go” while eating you might be able to use a similar idea for his bowel training. Then after he finishes eating and doing anything else that he might need to do you could pick up the receptacle, take Ezra to the bathroom with you and dump the contents into the toilet and explain to him that poop goes into the toilet. Depending on where he is with following directions you might have him pull the handle to flush the toilet and watch what happens when he does. He might be less afraid of the toilet flushing sound if he is the one who flushes it. I wonder if this is anything like how Simon overcame his initial fear of the toilet flushing sound. As you transition Ezra away from the high chair maybe you can have him sit on your lap at home with a receptacle underneath to catch anything as needed. In other places like restaurants you might still need to have him wear something like cloth training pants with plastic pants over the top or some type of disposable pull-on style undergarment in his size at least until he is further along with his training.
Hi! My son is almost exactly like Ezra and on a very similar level! My son as well is non-verbal and gets fixated on a certain toy that he needs to hold in his hand and spin. And he makes the same type of humming and happy sound when he wakes up in the morning!
I love these videos where we see the real life. So much work every day. How do you charge your batteries? My son is only three. I already feel exhausted. It s great to see Ezra eating with the spoon. I can t wait to see his school. Big hug to the all family!!!
You might want to have a bucket or two available in the event that Simon and/or Ezra experience some nausea and vomiting. It might reduce the amount of cleanup required in the morning sometimes.
My son was recently diagnosed ADHD. We’ve been having behavioral problems with him since he was little. He didn’t start talking until he was 2yr 5m old and he didn’t like looking you in the eye. We thought for the longest he had a bit of a hearing problem before we’d call his name and he’d just ignore us. I just brushed it off as him being too focused on what he was doing. He would like to run back and forth in the house and twirl around and around. He’s extremely picky eater and always has been. Now he’s 6 almost 7 and his school has been saying he’s acting different from the other. He currently attends a private school with his 8yr old sister who has ADHD. But even though they both have been diagnosed with the same thing my son acts completely different. I have to pack him the same exact lunch daily and if I change anything he has a meltdown. If I pull him away from what he is doing, which is mostly wanting to play Minecraft, he has a meltdown. He throws himself on the floor and repeatedly moves his foot up and down, and gets on his knees and swings his arms back and forth crying as we try calmly him down. I can tell you 10 things my son eats and that’s it. We have to give him multi vitamins and protein supplements just to make sure he’s getting enough nutrients. When he watches tv(Minecraft) shows, he will stand in front of the tv swinging his arms back and forth and then twirls around spinning. We are getting him reevaluated because we feel like he may have more than just ADHD. his sister which has ADHD is mostly just extremely hyperactive, and acts completely differently. I just feel overwhelmed because I took my son to get checked when he was 4 and the people spent five minutes with my son, and told me that he had no issues. Now I have equipped myself with video footage of my son behaviors so I can show them. My son loves to go up to children and try to make friends, but he always comes out extremely awkward. And if he gets blown off he gets so emotional and throws another meltdown. He now looks at me in the eyes a lot more than when he was a baby. That has gotten better. But the tantrums are hard. His picky eating is hard. When he throws a tantrum because he gets pulled away from what he’s wanting to do or a change in a routine at home or in school, it can be hard. I’m really suspecting he has more than ADHD and may be a little autistic. We go in March for his evaluation. I just want to know how to help my son. My son doesn’t flap his hands though, he swings them back and forth repeatedly. When excited or upset. We just want answers and to be heard. Also he has incredible memory and knows exactly where his favorite toys are. He can name every construction vehicle. Knows about every monster truck and tells you everything about Minecraft. That’s all he talks about.
I'm a new subscriber, my son is 5 and autistic as well as adhd, we just bought our first home and it's easter/spring break now and I'm struggling to make it easy for him without school
@7Aheadfamily he is elope flight risk and tries to escape anywhere possible which is very unsafe and a danger to himself and others, he also don't just walk, he runs everywhere and anywhere and the transitioning is becoming a problem with school and home (even before we moved March 13th) and gold news is he hasn't asked go go back home but I have spent tons of money on sensory products for his play room like he has ay school (he goes to a only children with autism school) and I am actually a monitor at his school as well but I work with a 17 yr old. (Anyways) sry about that...back on topic now lol he has behavioral specialist coming to work and study him in school and home as well but he's such a love bug and he's so loveable. Maybe it's the moving and the fact that I'm all alone and I work while he's in school so I have no me time, never have and never will, his dad's a big part of hid life but he don't understand what his needs are due to his own disabilities he grew up and is still facing. Bryson loves to go outside but it's not safe for us or him until we can save a lot of moeny for a fenced in yard or he wull continue to run away and into the road, and I made sure I bought a home with a big property and our house site in the back and our yard is outfront and huge but he still gets to yhe rd after .25 seconds of me looking at something for not even that amount and he's boom headed towards the rd. Idk I watched your videos and just decided I'm going to subscribe for 9.99 so I did and this is my journey In text lol ,(: thanks for responding
I also used to put my hands behind my head like that when I was about Ezra’s age. I didn’t really have any friends at that age so I don’t know if that is related to autism or whether it is something that most kids do. I started making friends in college and my first friend (Freshman year in college) would sometimes lie down like that in the bed of his dorm room (if he was feeling unusually tired).
The only time I actually make my bed properly is when I change my sheets. Other than that I just pull up the sheet and blanket, but I never do that immediately. I like to leave the sheet and blanket pulled back to allow the bed to air a bit.
I don't make my bed, but I would love to! I'm disabled with chronic pelvic pain, so I'm always in the bed. But I do spread up the quilt and have the shams stacked up on the opposite side from where I sleep. So it's half made up, I'd say.
Simon was so cute making faces at the camera as he was eating! I'm more with your friend on bed-making. I usually only make my bed after I wash the bedding b/c its easier to put it all back on properly if I make it in a certain order which thinking about it now may also be a routine I have more then actually "making" the bed. I know I overall don't have set routines but instead subroutines (i.e I don't have a set time to shower but when I do shower I always do everything in the same order)
If you do run out of gas or your battery goes dead, or your vehicle unexpectedly breaks down an AAA membership (if you don’t already have one) would be a good thing to have. My parents have AAA and they find that it is worthwhile for them in situations like that.
It’s good that Simon has learned the word “rain”. I think I might have been as old as age six (in kindergarten) before I learned that word. If he doesn’t know the word “snow” yet you and his speech therapist can work on that.
I was raised to make my bed, but I could never do it to Mom's satisfaction, so I don't. I think it was Chloe Hayden who suggested doing it so you have a positive accomplishment to start the day. I only toe-walk because it is fun, or when the ground is wet or cold, so I never had braces in my shoes. Oh, and I don't put shoes and socks on till I get to work. Oh, right, sometimes I never put shoes on👣
It is good that Ezra is in a new school. This should help with his toilet training, cognitive development,and the development of his social skills. Who knows, he may eventually learn to say (or at least sign) a few words. Even learning to say just “yes”, “no”, and his name would be very helpful. In this fashion it’s possible to communicate almost anything provided that the other person knows which questions to ask and in which sequence. In theory the answer to almost any question can be found with a series yes or no questions provided that the right questions are asked in the right sequence. This is how the game twenty questions works. As Rudy Rucker explains in his book Mind Tools the game of Twenty Questions usually works because the Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, and Famous People questions that are usually asked work out to about one million possibilities. The answers in the yes/no sequence in any given game of twenty questions can be encoded as a binary number where (by convention) 0 means no and 1 means yes. The number of possible values in a binary number with 20 places is two to the twentieth power (which works out to 1,048,576) or about one million. Ten questions with yes/no answers will give you two to the tenth power answers (which works out to 1,024) or about one thousand. The basic idea is that ten yes/no questions have about one thousand answers, twenty yes/no questions have about one million possible answers, Thirty yes/no questions have about a billion possible answers, and Forty yes/no questions have about a trillion possible answers. The pattern continues on from there (as you might imagine).
Hi everyone . Yes, I make my bed every morning very exactly. Simon is a cute teddybear, how he is talking to the camera. I´m happy to see Ezra eating so well. He learns more and more. Oh yes, you have a very big logistics with your children every day. You are awesome 😃
If Ezra puts his index finger through the loop on the back of the shoe this should help him to pull it on more easily. I find that this works for me when I put on some of my own sneakers. Some of the Sketchers have that. Some other brands probably also do as well.
@@7Aheadfamily I probably do but not many immediately come to mind. I put my clothes for the day over a recliner in my room and that makes them easy to reach for. Also, I only take the belt out of my pants when I am going to wash them. Like most people my underwear and socks are in dresser drawers and easy to get to.
I’m Logan Kihara, I have autism. I don’t have a UA-cam channel, but I would be happy to show you how to make a bed that is in military style by that part where you ask people if you like making your bed. I’ve been in part of the U.S. Air Force (civil air patrol) for 3 years and I’ll show you the enormous amount of rewards and achievements that I’ve received on Facebook.
Which Text to Speech App. Does Ezra Use? (and) What is Ezra's Favorite Brand and Flavor Of String Cheese??? Personally I am an adult with "Level 1" Autism; So I Just want to buy myself some to try; and have like my Own Little Day in the Life of Ezra.@@7Aheadfamily
It’s good that Simon can work the zipper on his coat. I think I was in kindergarten before I could do that. With some more time and practice he should be able to do the same with the zipper on his pajamas.
I gag over a lot of foods. 90% of it being food i dont like to eat like peanut butter or toast for example. The rest is foods I need to b in the room from the start of cooking for example popcorn
I don't make my bed I should , then maybe I wouldn't be inclined to get back in it, and draw curtains I usually leave them shut in case I have a melt down with the bpd and autism I'm gonna after ger out of that laid down earlier on its 8pm UK Saturday I went to sleep at 4pm bad move rounded up at 7.30 always very thrown it feels like waking up from a general anasethic confused but I've a speaking clock that tells me day date time so I' don't panic wh when it happens now
i havent been tested for austium i will as soon after is 45 days becase they dont take medcare yet i have to 45 days then they will do a in take over the phone then sat up appment for me to get tested in huntington
You really need 2 buzz there hair with electric clippers with different sets of guards. Use a #1 on the sides & a #2 on the top. It'll be so much easier I promise!! Also the shorter u cut it the less often you need 2 cuz there hair seems 2 grow fast. But I'll admit when u were cutting it wit siccors the cuts were really bad.
That’s a good question. I don’t think he really minds eating the other food as much as the fact that he just loves eating meat cheese. But we will definitely watch for any signs of his having a stomachache because of other foods. Thanks for pointing that out.
Ezra is eight years old now. He has had many different therapies. He’s had ABA Therapy, Speech Therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and music therapy to name a few. And he has improved as he’s grown older. For example, when he was 18 months old, he didn’t even know that he could communicate with me. He has found his own unique ways of connecting socially with people in our family. We are still working on potty training. And he will use his ACC device to tell us different foods he wants or if he wants to go outside. we are teaching him spelling right now, to hopefully open that door and give him the opportunity to spell things he wants to say to us. I feel that he’s improving with the spelling but even that is a long road. It’s hard to look back and know exactly what Therapy helped him improve the most. I don’t know if I could be able to tell you which therapy was the most effective. But I do know that occupational therapy helped me the most. (As the mom) For example, when the occupational therapist came and helped Ezra stim and encouraged it to help regulate his body, I was completely shocked. I was so surprised because I had been reacting in a negative way and hadn’t realized that I’ve been doing the opposite of what I should be doing. So seeing the occupational therapist support, Ezra in his sensory overload meltdowns and in his screaming fits, helped me learn how to parent better. I hope this helps.♥️
I was like Marie when I was a kid. I woke up super early (when my dad got up) so I could have the bathroom to myself. I showered and dressed before any of the other kids woke up. There were 7 people in my family and 1 bathroom. 😂 Is there any chance Ezra is teething or having allergies/reflux issues? Any of those make my sons gag reflex way worse.
@@nathanjw940 yes but having pain or things in your throat are also sensory. Myself and my son are autistic. We know all about sensory needs. Just like the video that talks about not liking the heater blowing in their face. I’m the same way, I don’t care how cold I am, I will not turn the heater on me in the car. For me, it isn’t the smell, it’s the horribly hot air touching me and blowing in my face. I absolutely hate it and it makes my nose feel dry too. Both ways are sensory. Smell or feel…
You bet! Just in case, we don’t say it in there Adams is Yosemite, Holly’s is Olympic, Benson is Zions, Marie is channel Islands, and marks was glacier.
hey i am new to your channel. my son is autistic. he has severe problems with foods. if he has not had it before he won't want to eat it. he will gag or throw it us if i get him to try something new even if it is something anyone would love.
I don't make my bed, I grew up with dogs so what is the point. My dogs would jump on the bed the minute I finished making it anyway, so I have tried but with dogs in your bed there is almost no point to making a bed anyway.
I noticed that you grabbed a pair of underwear and some kind of diaper for Simon. Are you using the placing a diaper inside the underwear technique that my mother used with me when I was in preschool at age five-and-a-half? Or are you having him choose which one to wear on a specific day? By the way I read a short time ago online that Pampers Easy Ups are going from the PJ Masks design to a Bluey design. If Simon is regressing slightly in his toilet training you might want to get him some Easy Ups so that he can use use the toilet if he wants to but still be protected if he doesn’t make it. You shouldn’t use training pants too often though or he might get the concept of training pants and underwear mixed up. I have seen it happen with other kids on the spectrum. It happens more often with level two autism but it’s still something to keep in mind (especially considering how recently trained Simon is). You will definitely want to just use regular underwear (without training pants or other diapers) on walks around the neighborhood and trips to local parks. There will be more laundry (perhaps even a lot more) but you want to keep him as trained as possible especially since he will be going into kindergarten in the next year or two. If you must have him wear a diaper it’s a good idea to put a pair of underwear inside so he will feel wet and be motivated to use the toilet when he is able to provided that being wet still bothers him. For now this pretty much sums up my observations on this subject.
7 Ahead - I'm currently A high school Junior and the social environment in my school is extremely toxic with very disrespectful students , along with some laid back teachers & admin acting just as bad as the students . Its not just my school ( which is ranked level 1 out of 5 ) that has a bad environment but also ( Elem , Middle , High schools ) other schools within the district & in majority of the US states . The severe vast amounts of derogatory remarks , student fighting , profanity & defiance makes our world a toxic place for mankind / humanity since there are more bad people committing violence & crimes than good people . What is your honest advice on how to handle those kinds of menacing people without my mental health draining significantly ?
That’s a great question! A few things… Definitely strive to be the light, you can stand out as one who lives a higher law and sets the example, but you’re right that can definitely be draining. If you have the opportunity to get around more like-minded individuals then I would definitely do that. Sometimes choices like that don’t come till later in life, however, so you might have to be the example for a while. Try to find other groups that you can associate with that will bring you up and give you strength. Could be church groups, sports groups, our ASD Club 😉, anything that would put you around people who will bring you up rather than tear you down. Hope that helps a little. 😊
Simon looked unusually tired and seems to have a slight cough. If he is slightly sick this might explain any regressive behavior you might be seeing from him right now. It is cold and flu season right now and with changes in the weather he might have something. You may want to ask his doctor about a COVID 19 test if you haven’t already (especially if symptoms continue).
I am teaching a boy with adhd he's so genius but the only problem was writing skills don't like to write his always walking and standing. Hope you can help me about that. Thanks
My mom taught me to make my bed every day. As to whether I've made it this mo--- errr, this we--- *AHEM*. As to whether I made my bed today, there's this thing called the 5th amendment, and it says I don't have to answer that question. 😂
11:17 I heartily approve of Ezra's disdain for an oh-dark-thirty wakeup call. "Leave me alone and try again at noon". Aside from his issues with the smell of Simon's breakfast, I think you've mentioned Ezra has gastrointestinal issues? I find that if I don't wake up naturally and then eat within the first few hours of my day, my stomach hates me until late morning.
i have a 2 year old nephew (my younger brothers son) and i think he has autism. the red flags ive noticed are hand leading, hand flapping and jumping, tiptoeng, no eye contact, lining up things/toys, likes to spin things/toys, no sense of danger and i think he is non-verbal... my problem is how do i tell them to get my nephew checked by a professional?
Is it that they are still in denial? I know my brother and his are smart and tech savvy but it's their first child.. me and my brother are not that close and im having second thoughts in telling them.. we had a little misunderstanding a few years back..
I sometimes eat carrots but only if I can dip them in something that tastes good like ranch dressing. I do this with the carrots in some of the protein packs from Starbucks on the rare occasions when I have these for lunch.
I don’t really bother to make my bed most of the time, but I will do it if I expect any visitors to my apartment on a specific day. Also I will usually make my bed if I plan on doing a video call with family or friends on that day (for example).
He doesn’t have any growth delay that we are aware of. His pediatrician says that he is on the small side but there’s nothing to worry about. It is good to keep in mind that I am very short. I am only 53. And most people on my husband‘s side of the family are in that category as well. We are kind of small people.

It’s good that Ezra is starting to eat standing up. This should help him with making the transition away from sitting in a high chair while eating.

12 Steps to Potty Train Your Autistic Child
ua-cam.com/video/OurXSSny3ew/v-deo.html
I was just reading online the other day that as recently as the 1950s some high chairs had a receptacle in them similar to what you would find in a potty chair. In the event that Ezra tends to “go” while eating you might be able to use a similar idea for his bowel training. Then after he finishes eating and doing anything else that he might need to do you could pick up the receptacle, take Ezra to the bathroom with you and dump the contents into the toilet and explain to him that poop goes into the toilet. Depending on where he is with following directions you might have him pull the handle to flush the toilet and watch what happens when he does. He might be less afraid of the toilet flushing sound if he is the one who flushes it. I wonder if this is anything like how Simon overcame his initial fear of the toilet flushing sound.
As you transition Ezra away from the high chair maybe you can have him sit on your lap at home with a receptacle underneath to catch anything as needed. In other places like restaurants you might still need to have him wear something like cloth training pants with plastic pants over the top or some type of disposable pull-on style undergarment in his size at least until he is further along with his training.
Thank you so much for the ideas. ❤️
Hi! My son is almost exactly like Ezra and on a very similar level! My son as well is non-verbal and gets fixated on a certain toy that he needs to hold in his hand and spin. And he makes the same type of humming and happy sound when he wakes up in the morning!
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Yes I make my bed everyday first thing. Order helps me stay focused.
So true. Little wins.
U guys are amazing! I struggle with 2 kids, just one on the spectrum.
Parenting is always difficult no matter what kids you have. ❤️ you’re not alone. They are so worth it.
I love these videos where we see the real life. So much work every day. How do you charge your batteries? My son is only three. I already feel exhausted. It s great to see Ezra eating with the spoon. I can t wait to see his school. Big hug to the all family!!!
Thank you so much ❤️ appreciate you watching and commenting. ❤️
Does your son have autism as well? The older three kids are a big help for sure. 😊
You might want to have a bucket or two available in the event that Simon and/or Ezra experience some nausea and vomiting. It might reduce the amount of cleanup required in the morning sometimes.
Thank you for the idea!💙😊💙

My son was recently diagnosed ADHD. We’ve been having behavioral problems with him since he was little. He didn’t start talking until he was 2yr 5m old and he didn’t like looking you in the eye. We thought for the longest he had a bit of a hearing problem before we’d call his name and he’d just ignore us. I just brushed it off as him being too focused on what he was doing. He would like to run back and forth in the house and twirl around and around. He’s extremely picky eater and always has been. Now he’s 6 almost 7 and his school has been saying he’s acting different from the other. He currently attends a private school with his 8yr old sister who has ADHD. But even though they both have been diagnosed with the same thing my son acts completely different. I have to pack him the same exact lunch daily and if I change anything he has a meltdown. If I pull him away from what he is doing, which is mostly wanting to play Minecraft, he has a meltdown. He throws himself on the floor and repeatedly moves his foot up and down, and gets on his knees and swings his arms back and forth crying as we try calmly him down. I can tell you 10 things my son eats and that’s it. We have to give him multi vitamins and protein supplements just to make sure he’s getting enough nutrients. When he watches tv(Minecraft) shows, he will stand in front of the tv swinging his arms back and forth and then twirls around spinning. We are getting him reevaluated because we feel like he may have more than just ADHD. his sister which has ADHD is mostly just extremely hyperactive, and acts completely differently. I just feel overwhelmed because I took my son to get checked when he was 4 and the people spent five minutes with my son, and told me that he had no issues. Now I have equipped myself with video footage of my son behaviors so I can show them. My son loves to go up to children and try to make friends, but he always comes out extremely awkward. And if he gets blown off he gets so emotional and throws another meltdown. He now looks at me in the eyes a lot more than when he was a baby. That has gotten better. But the tantrums are hard. His picky eating is hard. When he throws a tantrum because he gets pulled away from what he’s wanting to do or a change in a routine at home or in school, it can be hard. I’m really suspecting he has more than ADHD and may be a little autistic. We go in March for his evaluation. I just want to know how to help my son.
My son doesn’t flap his hands though, he swings them back and forth repeatedly. When excited or upset. We just want answers and to be heard. Also he has incredible memory and knows exactly where his favorite toys are. He can name every construction vehicle. Knows about every monster truck and tells you everything about Minecraft. That’s all he talks about.

@7Aheadfamily he is elope flight risk and tries to escape anywhere possible which is very unsafe and a danger to himself and others, he also don't just walk, he runs everywhere and anywhere and the transitioning is becoming a problem with school and home (even before we moved March 13th) and gold news is he hasn't asked go go back home but I have spent tons of money on sensory products for his play room like he has ay school (he goes to a only children with autism school) and I am actually a monitor at his school as well but I work with a 17 yr old. (Anyways) sry about that...back on topic now lol he has behavioral specialist coming to work and study him in school and home as well but he's such a love bug and he's so loveable. Maybe it's the moving and the fact that I'm all alone and I work while he's in school so I have no me time, never have and never will, his dad's a big part of hid life but he don't understand what his needs are due to his own disabilities he grew up and is still facing. Bryson loves to go outside but it's not safe for us or him until we can save a lot of moeny for a fenced in yard or he wull continue to run away and into the road, and I made sure I bought a home with a big property and our house site in the back and our yard is outfront and huge but he still gets to yhe rd after .25 seconds of me looking at something for not even that amount and he's boom headed towards the rd.

We have a leash that has helped Ezra when we are exploring new places❤️❤️
Our new custom leash - MyBiggerHarness.Etsy.co
I also used to put my hands behind my head like that when I was about Ezra’s age. I didn’t really have any friends at that age so I don’t know if that is related to autism or whether it is something that most kids do.
I started making friends in college and my first friend (Freshman year in college) would sometimes lie down like that in the bed of his dorm room (if he was feeling unusually tired).
Awesome, thank you for sharing. 😊
The only time I actually make my bed properly is when I change my sheets. Other than that I just pull up the sheet and blanket, but I never do that immediately. I like to leave the sheet and blanket pulled back to allow the bed to air a bit.
👍🏻
I don't make my bed, but I would love to! I'm disabled with chronic pelvic pain, so I'm always in the bed. But I do spread up the quilt and have the shams stacked up on the opposite side from where I sleep. So it's half made up, I'd say.
You do what you can do. ❤️ thank you for sharing. Much ❤️
Heck no, I don't make my bed everyday. I do kind of throw the blankets and sheets into a place that is conducive enough to sleeping in later😅
Nice. 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Simon was so cute making faces at the camera as he was eating!
I'm more with your friend on bed-making. I usually only make my bed after I wash the bedding b/c its easier to put it all back on properly if I make it in a certain order which thinking about it now may also be a routine I have more then actually "making" the bed. I know I overall don't have set routines but instead subroutines (i.e I don't have a set time to shower but when I do shower I always do everything in the same order)
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I sometimes make the bed depends on what if I have time
Same. ❤️❤️❤️
If you do run out of gas or your battery goes dead, or your vehicle unexpectedly breaks down an AAA membership (if you don’t already have one) would be a good thing to have. My parents have AAA and they find that it is worthwhile for them in situations like that.
Thank you for sharing. 😊❤️😊
It’s good that Simon has learned the word “rain”. I think I might have been as old as age six (in kindergarten) before I learned that word.
If he doesn’t know the word “snow” yet you and his speech therapist can work on that.
Yes, great idea
I was raised to make my bed, but I could never do it to Mom's satisfaction, so I don't. I think it was Chloe Hayden who suggested doing it so you have a positive accomplishment to start the day. I only toe-walk because it is fun, or when the ground is wet or cold, so I never had braces in my shoes. Oh, and I don't put shoes and socks on till I get to work. Oh, right, sometimes I never put shoes on👣
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! So you don’t like wearing shoes? I guess Ezra does that quite a bit as well. 😊
Feet Bare! @@7Aheadfamily
That’s awesome! 😊
I don't like to make my bed tbh, but I don't like my bed being so untidy too, I found that I love ironing clothes lately
Thank you for sharing. ❤️😊❤️
It is good that Ezra is in a new school. This should help with his toilet training, cognitive development,and the development of his social skills.
Who knows, he may eventually learn to say (or at least sign) a few words. Even learning to say just “yes”, “no”, and his name would be very helpful. In this fashion it’s possible to communicate almost anything provided that the other person knows which questions to ask and in which sequence.
In theory the answer to almost any question can be found with a series yes or no questions provided that the right questions are asked in the right sequence. This is how the game twenty questions works.
As Rudy Rucker explains in his book Mind Tools the game of Twenty Questions usually works because the Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, and Famous People questions that are usually asked work out to about one million possibilities. The answers in the yes/no sequence in any given game of twenty questions can be encoded as a binary number where (by convention) 0 means no and 1 means yes. The number of possible values in a binary number with 20 places is two to the twentieth power (which works out to 1,048,576) or about one million.
Ten questions with yes/no answers will give you two to the tenth power answers (which works out to 1,024) or about one thousand.
The basic idea is that ten yes/no questions have about one thousand answers, twenty yes/no questions have about one million possible answers,
Thirty yes/no questions have about a billion possible answers, and Forty yes/no questions have about a trillion possible answers. The pattern continues on from there (as you might imagine).
Thank you for sharing. 😊❤️😊
Hi everyone . Yes, I make my bed every morning very exactly. Simon is a cute teddybear, how he is talking to the camera. I´m happy to see Ezra eating so well. He learns more and more. Oh yes, you have a very big logistics with your children every day. You are awesome 😃
Thanks for sharing!!❤️❤️❤️
If Ezra puts his index finger through the loop on the back of the shoe this should help him to pull it on more easily. I find that this works for me when I put on some of my own sneakers. Some of the Sketchers have that. Some other brands probably also do as well.
Very good idea. Yes thank you. We just need to get some easier ones for him to put on probably. 😊
Do you have any rituals or morning routines that help you out?
@@7Aheadfamily I probably do but not many immediately come to mind. I put my clothes for the day over a recliner in my room and that makes them easy to reach for. Also, I only take the belt out of my pants when I am going to wash them. Like most people my underwear and socks are in dresser drawers and easy to get to.
Nice! Those sound like some good routines to have. 😊
I don’t make my bed, unless I have friends over. Even though I still don’t make my bed when theyre here

You really need 2 buzz there hair with electric clippers with different sets of guards. Use a #1 on the sides & a #2 on the top. It'll be so much easier I promise!! Also the shorter u cut it the less often you need 2 cuz there hair seems 2 grow fast. But I'll admit when u were cutting it wit siccors the cuts were really bad.
You’re right, we need to do that. Thank you ❤️
Is Simon about to turn 4 years old? How is his speech going 😊
Yeah. His birthday is on the 19th. Really good. He can now communicate all of his needs ❤️
I also have autism
happy to have you here
I can honestly say I don’t make my bed everyday lol
Yeah. Sometimes I don’t either. ❤️
Why does ezra get upset when he eats ( besides cheese and meat of course ) do you think it hurts his stomach?
That’s a good question. I don’t think he really minds eating the other food as much as the fact that he just loves eating meat cheese. But we will definitely watch for any signs of his having a stomachache because of other foods. Thanks for pointing that out.
What is the zipper thing for his bed?
Ezra will run away in the middle of the night if we don’t inclose him in his safety bed. It is temporary. He will grow out of it someday, I’m sure
i like playing with cords to but i dont have any to play with
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Ty you guys are the best
I agree
Thank you ❤️
Appreciate that ❤️
How old is ezra? And what therapies has he been taking? Has he imrpoved pver time
Ezra is eight years old now. He has had many different therapies. He’s had ABA Therapy, Speech Therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and music therapy to name a few. And he has improved as he’s grown older. For example, when he was 18 months old, he didn’t even know that he could communicate with me. He has found his own unique ways of connecting socially with people in our family. We are still working on potty training. And he will use his ACC device to tell us different foods he wants or if he wants to go outside. we are teaching him spelling right now, to hopefully open that door and give him the opportunity to spell things he wants to say to us. I feel that he’s improving with the spelling but even that is a long road. It’s hard to look back and know exactly what Therapy helped him improve the most. I don’t know if I could be able to tell you which therapy was the most effective. But I do know that occupational therapy helped me the most. (As the mom) For example, when the occupational therapist came and helped Ezra stim and encouraged it to help regulate his body, I was completely shocked. I was so surprised because I had been reacting in a negative way and hadn’t realized that I’ve been doing the opposite of what I should be doing. So seeing the occupational therapist support, Ezra in his sensory overload meltdowns and in his screaming fits, helped me learn how to parent better. I hope this helps.♥️
When will the next video be posted?
Saturday Morning
I was like Marie when I was a kid. I woke up super early (when my dad got up) so I could have the bathroom to myself. I showered and dressed before any of the other kids woke up. There were 7 people in my family and 1 bathroom. 😂
Is there any chance Ezra is teething or having allergies/reflux issues? Any of those make my sons gag reflex way worse.
Interesting I hadn’t thought of that. Allergies could be an issue I suppose, I don’t think he’s teething, though.
More likely sensory to smell it could be that but sensory issues are very common
@@nathanjw940 yes but having pain or things in your throat are also sensory. Myself and my son are autistic. We know all about sensory needs.
Just like the video that talks about not liking the heater blowing in their face. I’m the same way, I don’t care how cold I am, I will not turn the heater on me in the car. For me, it isn’t the smell, it’s the horribly hot air touching me and blowing in my face. I absolutely hate it and it makes my nose feel dry too. Both ways are sensory. Smell or feel…

I noticed that you grabbed a pair of underwear and some kind of diaper for Simon. Are you using the placing a diaper inside the underwear technique that my mother used with me when I was in preschool at age five-and-a-half? Or are you having him choose which one to wear on a specific day?
By the way I read a short time ago online that Pampers Easy Ups are going from the PJ Masks design to a Bluey design. If Simon is regressing slightly in his toilet training you might want to get him some Easy Ups so that he can use use the toilet if he wants to but still be protected if he doesn’t make it. You shouldn’t use training pants too often though or he might get the concept of training pants and underwear mixed up. I have seen it happen with other kids on the spectrum. It happens more often with level two autism but it’s still something to keep in mind (especially considering how recently trained Simon is). You will definitely want to just use regular underwear (without training pants or other diapers) on walks around the neighborhood and trips to local parks. There will be more laundry (perhaps even a lot more) but you want to keep him as trained as possible especially since he will be going into kindergarten in the next year or two.
If you must have him wear a diaper it’s a good idea to put a pair of underwear inside so he will feel wet and be motivated to use the toilet when he is able to provided that being wet still bothers him.
For now this pretty much sums up my observations on this subject.
Awesome, thank you, no Simon is completely potty trained in the daytime. Just working with Ezra now. 😊
So which of the kids has a Bluey lunch box? My niece got me into that show; its so cute!
Great. 😊 Simon has the Bluey lunchbox. 😊
What time does high school start that Mark has a thing on before school that is so crazy early?
I know! Right? School starts at 7:55. But his seminary class starts at 6:40.
It looks like Simon can recognize his reflection in a mirror. Can Ezra also do this?
I think I was around Simon’s current age before I could do that.
Ezra does not like to look in the mirror, he will not do it❤
@@7Aheadfamily Maybe his school and/or his therapist can teach him about mirrors so he will understand what he is looking at and be less afraid of it.

7 Ahead - I'm currently A high school Junior and the social environment in my school is extremely toxic with very disrespectful students , along with some laid back teachers & admin acting just as bad as the students . Its not just my school ( which is ranked level 1 out of 5 ) that has a bad environment but also ( Elem , Middle , High schools ) other schools within the district & in majority of the US states . The severe vast amounts of derogatory remarks , student fighting , profanity & defiance makes our world a toxic place for mankind / humanity since there are more bad people committing violence & crimes than good people . What is your honest advice on how to handle those kinds of menacing people without my mental health draining significantly ?
That’s a great question! A few things… Definitely strive to be the light, you can stand out as one who lives a higher law and sets the example, but you’re right that can definitely be draining. If you have the opportunity to get around more like-minded individuals then I would definitely do that. Sometimes choices like that don’t come till later in life, however, so you might have to be the example for a while. Try to find other groups that you can associate with that will bring you up and give you strength. Could be church groups, sports groups, our ASD Club 😉, anything that would put you around people who will bring you up rather than tear you down. Hope that helps a little. 😊

Hi.
Hello!
Simon looked unusually tired and seems to have a slight cough. If he is slightly sick this might explain any regressive behavior you might be seeing from him right now.
It is cold and flu season right now and with changes in the weather he might have something. You may want to ask his doctor about a COVID 19 test if you haven’t already (especially if symptoms continue).

Does Ezra have any type of growth delay he’s very small for a 8 year old
He doesn’t have any growth delay that we are aware of. His pediatrician says that he is on the small side but there’s nothing to worry about. It is good to keep in mind that I am very short. I am only 53. And most people on my husband‘s side of the family are in that category as well. We are kind of small people.
