I was born with autism before it was recognized as a developmental disorder, and wasn't diagnosed until I was in my 50's. I was fortunate to get help from teachers, neighbors and a school nurse, who taught me what I needed to know about social rules and being kind to friends. Discovering autism at an early age is positive since so much can be done to assist your child. Today, I'm a mother, grandmother and an advocate for young adults on the spectrum of autism. I taught myself to process faces
@@noreenbakht7877 I can't speak for Ruth, but Autism does run in families. It isn't a guaranteed that an Autistic person will have an Autistic child. I theorize that the increase in Autism is actually just that they are getting better at testing and there is more awareness. I think that if they looked into the child's family they would find undiagnosed Autistic adults.
to teach social rules is the job of parents. Your parents failed to teach to to behave in the socially acceptable way, therefore your school had to help you and do what your parents failed to do.
My son has autism. He’s 18 now. Lots of time and patience. He didn’t start talking until he was 12 . His speech is coming along nicely. I haven’t had speech pathology. He’s doing okay. He understands everything people say. His brain is developing really well.
I have learned that we truly need to savor every day with our babies. Mine is almost a year old now and I stopped(for the most part)trying to find out "what's wrong with her ,or why does she do this or doesn't do that",etc. She is precious in every single way and I am going to enjoy and not question the things she does and the ways she acts
my son was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder at 2 1/2. and so many people call autism sad. but sooooo many children that are autistic are sooo happy. yes they dont talk but they have their own way of communication. if your child does not talk you should try sign language. i taught this to my son and it helps to know what he needs.
thank you for that outlook! I work with autistic adults and the world needs more parents like you! Thank you for loving and accepting your child! It brings tears to my eyes to know the opportunities your child will have with you in their life. There is a special place in heaven for parents like yourself.
I am from Northern Ireland. I was diagnosed just a few years before this newscast was originally broadcast. According to a news report that has since been deleted but I was lucky enough to see 2 years before it was deleted, I didn’t develop normally and I was late in many developmental milestones, such as holding my head up, babbling, crawling, etc. I didn’t talk until I was 3. I have attended a Mainstream school since the age of 3 (albeit in an Autism class with mainstream integration for some parts of the day, like some other people in the same class). I was in two Special Education classes (one from P1-P4 and one from P5-P7). Just like I just said, many people in these Autism classes, including myself, were integrated into mainstream for some parts of the day. I’ve basically had the best of both worlds for about 10 years, since I started primary school in 2011. I thank all the people who have supported me in Primary School and Secondary School. Without them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Outside of school, I only had a few friends (mostly ones who lived in the same street) who were nice to me and enjoyed my company. Some of those friends were friends with my sisters (I have 3 sisters, 1 older 2 younger, I’m the only boy in the house), and some of them are teenage boys like me. One of them, who we’ll only call “D”, lives in the street I currently live in. From the day we met (which was a few days after I moved into my current house), we were good friends and we got along well. I haven’t seen him in a long time. All of these outside-of-school friends are neurotypical, and yet we still got along okay. Another friend, who we’ll call “K”, was only mean to me once. The rest of the time, he was nice to me. We talked about our interests, made stop motion videos, played video games and had fun. It was nice. Any other person outside of school, or any non-autistic person at school who wasn’t in my Mainstream integration group would either ignore me, make fun of my autism or just be confused by me. The people in my Integration group were the only Mainstream people who didn’t bully me until I got to Secondary school. I didn’t really talk to many Mainstream people who weren’t in my Integration group anyway. It was only when I reached secondary school when this stopped. For a brief while in P5, I was in my Integration group full time, however I couldn’t really cope so they took me out of there not long after. However, my P5 mainstream teacher (who we’ll call Mrs K) continued to be my integration teacher for the rest of the school year. Looks like Autism support mixed with Mainstream integration was the best thing for me in the end. I’m now in Year 11, where the Learning Support centre at my school is called “Learning Centre”. Once again, I’ve had some Mainstream integration for some parts of the day as well as learning support classes. I’m doing some Entry Level subjects and 5 GCSEs. I think I am well fit to do these things. Although everyone with Autism is different, I think the support in school and the support my family have always given me at home, along with me being diagnosed early, have made me the person I am today.
Even a monkey can be taught to behave in a socially acceptable way. This is what autistic people should understand - there are rules of politeness they must obey.
I was the opposite of Valerie, I knew that something was different with my son but my family and friends said that nothing was wrong. This was back in 2007 so I had no idea what Autism was. I cried when they told me, I was terrified. My son is approaching 17 and is an honor student who will be going to college for chemical engineering 😊
Something tells me that boy hidan is high functioning.That wobble thing he does I used to do as we'll.Im a 21 year old with High Functioning Autism and I've been undiagnosed for the past 20 years of my life until1 year ago!
It's hard for 1st time mothers to realize the signs because they've never raised a child before, much less a "normal" functioning child. As a grandmother now, I see signs of autism or HFA in my 15 month old grandchild....I realize things that aren't "normal" bc I raised 2 "normal" children. My daughter is finally starting to agree with me. We took our concerns to the pediatrician and we were totally dismissed by the Dr and she actually got mad that we even suggested it! We go back to the Dr soon (and will be seeing a diff Dr)...if they don't at least listen to us this time, we will be switching peds! It was unreal and just unbelievable the way we were treated!
This happened to me as a child, by my pediatrician, after a school therapist suggested we seek a "mild developmental disorder" diagnosis. But the doctor thought that I was "too functional". I did not have friends around for my parents to really see the difference in me. I was bullied by teachers even! Finding out at 32 about autism has been like a lightswitch for me... Too bad I was not given proper social skills as a child. I did get diagnosed with ADHD but it is not the full picture. I cannot keep a job, partly due to my "hyper-excitable" sensory brain, partly because I cannot socialize and eventually, no matter how hard I work, I get fired with no reason given. But I know when a boss does not like me, based on how I read emotions. I predict my termination and try harder. It really is quite traumatic.
You are a wonderful parent, it is so nice to see a parent that thinks of an autistic as a blessed child rather than something negative that needs to be cured...
There SEEMS to be an increase in autism because the diagnosis has been expanded to include conditions like Aspergers and because people are more aware of it. It wasn't even a diagnosis until I was grown , but I can remember relatives and neighbors and classmates who fit the criteria. There was no diagnosis then, so there is no "increase" from that time, because there were ZERO kids being diagnosed then.
I'm autistic, too. I'm glad you put "correct" in quotes. Besides the sensory pain and some of the isolation, I would prefer that my neurology not be weighed-in on by NTs at all. I've noticed that a lot of the criticism I get contains a strong objection to the aesthetics of my way of thinking/behaving. When I boil it down, people usually don't give a crap about changing the things that actually make me less productive.
Praise this teacher..parents and who ever is around children /adults with Autism..the first thing they need is..PATIENTS...no yelling.. screaming ..just stay calm and that..people that have autism do not make load sounds,,quick movements..change of anything..you have to add new things to them slowly,,so they can except new things..my opinion only..
So sad the reporter acts like it's something terrible to have autism! My 6 year old son is one of the happiest kids around. He 's a smart, funny, sensitive, carring boy and he 's doing well in school. Sure, he's picky when it comes to friends, sports or interests and we had to find a different and new way to communicate with him so he wouldn't get (so many) anger attacks. But as a family we made it work. Teachers, strangers, friends and family... everybody likes him and accept his sometimes crazy ways of doing things! Autism is a part of him and we wouldn't change a thing if we had a choice! His two sisters do not have Autism. But i think the therapy is a good thing!
I find when they do express themselves ...I wouldn't say anger ..trying to communicate to us how they are feeling ....I admire the parents who get involve with there child...NZ...
Disappointed with the reporter like she written them off...They are special in there own way ...if teach them right they can overcome these obstacles with the help they need ....To those who judge and say they not normal define normal,our world is not normal the pple are not normal there's crimes been committed is that normal etc...look around ... my thoughts...
I love my daughter, it was hard at first because I did not know why she was so upset. When I learned more than I was able to understand better what she was going through and we are all happier because we can change to better fit her instead of trying get her to fit into our world. We do try to add more things or her to better understand socializing so she can build friendships and she is able to get a long with her class peers. She still only hangs out with kids that have the same interest as she does. She is doing much better with socializing the two years ago. She would not sit next to any of her peers at lunch and she would only draw at recess and not run or play. I have no idea why everyone sees Autism as a bad thing. These kids are amazing at so much and they hold so much knowledge it takes everyone they have contact with by shock. My daughter at two and a half could just start rattling off all of the different dinosaurs and what each eats, if they are a Theropod which means they have three toed feet and they have sharp teeth for ripping meat. She is also a great artist. They do not realize how special these kids are.
Hi 👋 my daughter Harley Rosie is showing signs of High Functional Autism shes just turned 2 years old this April gone & my wife has High Functional Autism too & Harley is getting better we still working on it but Autism is not a disease its just you see things a bit differently & my wife loves your videos they so educational lol 😆
Christy, when you have the time I recommend you this movie: search on youtube "Son-Rise: A Miracle of Love (The True Story of Raun Kaufman)" - it's about the parents who created the Son-Rise therapy for their autistic child and they've been working with thousands of other autistic children ever since. It's the only therapy I believe in 100% and I can assure you it will also transform you as a parent. It's the most loving, respectful and accepting approach you've ever seen.
Also, I was diagnosed with autism when I was a teen, while I do not have autism (I didn't get diagnosed with nothing 3 times after). I had to go to schools with autistic children and it was just horrible. Please parents, before giving your son a label.. wait until he gets more mature. JUST because he/she shows a few signs, doesn't mean he/she has it, you could be ruining his/her life with the label. Also, what you think has HUGE impact on the diagnosis.
Treatment has to begin as early and intense as possible. These kids will need all the help they can get once they hit their teens and tweens. They can become easy targets for bullies.
People with autism are human too. They are part of our society with their very own unique qualities and capabilities. Stop treating Austism as a wretched disease and claiming people with this trait are 'sick' and should be 'fixed'. Instead, we should help them to be able to maximise their potential and help them to overcome some of their difficulties such as communication. Austistic people had contributed to the society as much as 'normal' people did. Some people are born with lower IQ but with outstanding special skills, some with high IQ, and all these people are complement to one another and made up our society. So, why are some ignorant people denying the place of autistic people in the society? I'm just frustrated with the stigmatised view of autism. Just sharing a piece of my mind.
My son is the same as Heiden in this video. He’s 15 months old at the moment and he’s saying words making animal sounds and is right on track but he does show some signs of ASD. Like not responding to his name very well. He was worse at 12 months like Heiden and then he greatly improved by 14-15 months like Heiden as well. He still has little moments when I worry about him but I cant distinguish if it’s actually autism or just him?? It’s all so tricky. This video gave me some hope tho. Even though I’d love him unconditionally either way. My biggest fear at this moment is regression. I don’t want him to learn all of these new things and wake up one day like someone has taken it all away from him. That’s what makes me the most sad.
I have autism, and I know that over time I learn how to "look" at the world in the "correct" way. I have learned through alot of pain how to be more or less an acceptable maybe admirable being. I have had to learn how to think. I'm sure this therapy works to rid of the problem (not thinking righ) autism all together.
My 7yr old has it. I noticed a decline in his speech around 12 months. My kid was an early learner and was full-on walking by 9 months so i knew something was up. I fought with his dr and ended up calling a specialist myself. He was enrolled into a program that gave him various therapies and after not talking at all, was talking again at 3. He still has some issues, but he is thriving! He's doing good in school and has lots of friends. I noticed the same issues arising in my now, 22 month old son around 12 months as well. Same thing, was learning fast, talking in sentences, walking early, them a steady decline. Its heart-breaking honestly especially when I realized they got it from me. I had no idea. My younger son started therapy last week so I'm hoping they can help him as well.
My son started having early intervention services at 18 months old and he didn't get any better overtime with the exception of adding maybe 2 additional words to his vocabulary. He still does the excessive stimming behavior and finger flicking, he does the screaming, hurting himself, speaks a lot of unintelligible words, walks on his tip toes and spends most of his days turning light switches on and off as well as walking in circles.
Jake Jones My son is 3, he turned 3 in February. Sorry to hear about your daughter, it seems as though these programs just don't work. What type of behaviors does your daughter do?
this video breaks my heart my son is going to be 2 years old in feb and he might be autistic i've called several places including north valley regional center and they havent help be out with hes therapy or even call me for a evaluation i hope my son gets help like this kids ;(
It's just one step in front of another. A lot can change from now until their mid 20s when the plasticity slows down.Another fabulous resource is the book Kids Beyond Limits by Anat Baniel,it's fabulous. Good luck on your journey and sucess.
Asperger's Syndrome is so hard to diagnose. I was diagnosed at 9 and my undiagnosed cousin is 11 and she definitely has it. I wouldn't change a thing about any of us. I happen to be friends with a kid who is low functioning and cannot speak, and I would never want him to be any different.
I have 8 children of my own, and all of them are normal children, so when my younger brother had his first child I noticed that his child had autism when he was 6mths because he was not developing the same way as my children did. I did research where I learned to understand that with persistence parents can really help their child, I wish they would make this information very widely available.
Anyone posting rude or hateful comments about this ya'll should be ashamed of yourselves.....and you could learn something from these kids and their parents, things they go through...like everyone thinks their lives are sooooo hard. The world is such a negative place and it is only like that because we 'people' make it that way. Try something new like being nice and being thankful..the world would be much more peaceful.
My name is Molly I am 20 years old and I have a pre-autistic condition called P.P.C.D since I was 4 years old, since I was a kid i would have outbursts and now that I am older I am self conscience about how i act and how my emotions affect others around me
"I wouldn't want to cause the Pain & Anguish of having another child diagnosed on the spectrum" :/ I didn't have pain or anguish when my son was diagnosed....
Most of the problem of and solution to autism-spectrum "disorders" lies in the diet. I'm not exaggerating. Look it up: Dr. Natasha Campbell-Mcbride, Gut And Psychology Syndrome (GAPS)
i have a friend with autism, he is a 7th grader! he can read pretty big words, i was impressed with his progress, he can understand what you are saying, and hes not violent! The only thing is that he says random things, and says hes a professional easter bunny. he can also remember VERY well!
+SuperTrudog Yeah my son who didn't talk when he was three can now tell me the exact dates when the family did things years back when he wasn't even talking because he was always looking at the calendar. He remembers every date.
Wait, im a grown man of 30+ and sometime when i sit alone thinking, i throw the cover of a can on the table just to hear it wabble like that baby... im not kidding you...
@@mayelaine2 Because their incompetent parent allows it - never distracting, never removing the offending object, never slapping for stimming, never disciplining generally. No child can do something for hours unless their parent condones it.
@Samantha Cole You can and you should, if the stimming stops the child from interacting with his environment and from learning. Without the ability to learn the child is doomed. Do you say that a child must not be exposed to a dentist, as it is cruel - and should get instead all his teeth rotten? Maybe a child with an injury should not be operated on, since there will be pain? Or blood tests are abuse? If a good slap takes the child out of his shell and fascilitates his learning - this is a good slap.
@@monikebrand5087 every autistic child unknown has some sort or gastrointestinal problems one way or another. On top of food allergies and things like that but I guess some are luckier than others right? Some are still in diapers in their 20s and are still nonverbal and sometimes even violent, not just to themselves but to any one around them.. it's sad either way bc they are so gifted in other ways but still cant use their full potential whatever that may be...
I'm not sure how old this video is, but the attitude has changed towards ASD since then. ABA and other similar therapy is no longer the 'Monkey training' it once was.. Therapy is thankly more child lead and based on getting involved in what interests the child instead of giving treats of repeating wanted behaviour.
When I look back sixty years to the 1200 children with whom I attended secondary school, I could say without any doubt that there were at least 12 children among them would nowadays be considered to be on the Autistic Spectrum. All these children were verbal, and high functioning enough to be within the normal school system. None of these children were diagnosed with Autism. It was thought of as a condition of major severity. There were thirteen criteria, and no child who was high functioning, and verbal, would pass those criteria. Eventually, by the mid 1980s, a diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome was given to children who were less severely affected. What I am telling you here is that Autistic Spectrum Disorders have not increased; they are simply better recognised. When we look back into the past, certain historic personalities leap out at us as being probably on the Autistic Spectrum. Michelangelo, Mozart, Samuel Johnson, Lord Byron, Hans Andersen, Einstein.
None of the famous people you mention were autistic - this is nonsense what you think. Mozart was very communicative - don't mistake a talent for autism.
@@svetavinogradova4243 you have obviously never been around many Autistic individuals. There are lots of communicative Autistic people. There are lots of variances in Autism.
@@jvance6 I hope you know the son mple truth that autism is a theory and has never been proven to exist. The ridiculous attempts to present some famous people of the past (so they cannot object and sue) as autistic only show that people are clinging to the "autism" thing as a desired exolanation.
@@svetavinogradova4243 there have been lots of genes connected to Autism. It's an established diagnoses. I dunno whether this random dead person was or wasn't on the spectrum neither does the original poster, because they used the word probably. Some of these famous people reading their histories it does indicate that they had Autistic traits. The reason why people like to use successful people as examples of Autism is because too often in the past Autism was portrayed as a tragedy. Autism is just a different way to process the world.
It's easy to talk about other people's kids when you don't have to actually raise them. There's no pity party and most people criticize and demean parents with autistic kids, somehow blaming them. When you see parents reaching out for help, it isn't because they feel sorry for themselves or their kid, its to get help for their kid. This is just something you don't know anything about unless you actually raise an autistic kid. Explaining it to someone who has no idea is futile.
I really hate how the reporter called a meltdown a temper tantrum. There's a difference. It makes it sound like this poor kid who is having a hard time look like a spoiled brat. That is just rude
All meltdowns are temper tantrums. She is correct. You can check - give the child a painful spank at the first signs of "meltdown", and pour a glass of cold water over his head - after three sessions like that the "meltdowns.- which are really temper tantrums aimed to control environment - will disappear.
When the child learns that his "meltdown" results in adverse consequences ONLY and no perks - the child's subconscious control tool becomes useless and stops being used.
@@svetavinogradova4243 Have you actually met any autistic people or read anything they've written about meltdowns because it's not the same as a meltdown. Punishing an autistic person during a meltdown does NOT help, it can actually make things worse. A non autistic person can have a breakdown too and they have no control over it either.
I believe that this is all meant to happen.We can't change human nature.Autism is something beautiful and mysterious.It can be fatal and full of suffering.I know my fair share.However given the chance I would never cure it.Nature is something not meant to be changed.We aren't god.Only when we declare ourselves such.Then that is when we meet our demise.
I don't like the tone of this story, all this talk of "epidemics" and how "wrenching" it was for that mother to discover she had two kids on the spectrum, how she's "leaning towards optimism because Hyden is a good kid" as if kids with autism aren't good. We're not diseased, and we're not a tragedy, I wish people would stop treating autism as a death sentence.
your right people need to stop looking for a cure because there isnt one there is nothing wrong with us we might get angry over little things and have learning difficulties doesnt mean were a freak of nature. what i hated the most was the word autistic people shouldnt be calling someone with autism autistic. where not a jar so u can just label. there basically saying its the way u are so get the over it when saying autistic
Vaccines cause autism. There is no agreed on definition for vaccine encephalopathy, however in this disorder, children commonly experience developmental regression and seizures within one to 14 days after administration of a vaccine which may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism or seizures. But vaccine court likes to claim the autism was caused by the encephalopathy. Not the vaccine. That way they can avoid compensating the victims for autism. It's just word games.
Here are four ways autistic conditions are caused and confirmed by statements from the current President of pharmaceutical giant Merck's Vaccines Division, by US Government agencies, by the US Federal Court and in formally published academic journal papers. If you read nothing else I strongly recommend you read this PDF Download - [Text of May 5th 2008 email from US HRSA to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News]. In it the US Health Resources Services Administration [HRSA] state to CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson "We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures." childhealthsafety.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/attkisson-cbs-hrsa-email-exchanges-autistic-conditions-vaccines.pdf
Hi Vash, they think it's bad because they don't understand it. They believe that most people who have an ASD diagnosis will be a burden on their families and on society at large, because they haven't been following the research. We do really well when we can get help for the (old model) underlying, or (new model) causal health problems. They're scared, that's all.
This video is a shame. Behaviors, behaviors.. time to move past it. Maybe 11 year ago they didn't know better, but now when it's so much information out there staying ignorant is a choice.
There's a ton of stigma because of outdated reports like this. Those kids are teens and adults now. They can tell THEIR side of the story which would clear up a lot of stigma if people listened to us.
More are getting diagnosed because they changed the guidelines in 1994 to include more symptoms, symptoms that include all of us, more symptoms means more diagnosed with it, doesn't necessarily mean they have it however.
The mother with the non Autistic child also had more facial expressions and a higher tone while talking to her child then the mother of the child who had a diagnoses... *Making one mother more interesting to watch and captivating the attention of the child. Body language and tone of voice goes along way when it comes to communicating and interacting with baby's :D
We call this "autism" but what does that really mean? Are these behaviors even related? Why is it lumped under one umbrella? We don't even know the cause...how can we presume to know if symptoms or behaviors a child exhibits are even related to those of another - especially when they differ so greatly in their intensity.
I do believe in genuine autism diagnosis' and admire families who go through the struggles. But...if not answering to your name, playing with a tin lid and starring at play objects signals autism then that could be half the population. People don't spend enough time with their kids these days so it easier to blame it on something else. But I am by no means saying that about all parents who suspect autism, some parents can spend 24hrs a day with little result. Kudos to those parents.
My oldest son has autism and it does not effect our life at all ever since I started trainng him at BMX riding. JJ is non verbal he does not talk. The autism specialist said Jay Jay would never ride BMX, he has been riding for 5 years now check out his new video ua-cam.com/video/j033YHpZJ6s/v-deo.html
What has changed is, again, the guidelines they go by. More kids are said to have it today because docs go by the updated guidelines as well as occupational therapists. The symptoms these kids have today wouldn't have given anyone any thought yrs ago because the symptoms to look for didn't exist yet. These guidelines tell us if a child lines toys up they may have it & people go by this, yrs ago if a kid lined up his toys no one gave it a 2nd thought & the kids grew up fine.
Hi, I know it’s been 4 years. May I ask, are they doing well? With friends? Socially? My son is 18 months, he hasn’t been able to pronounce even a basic word, he is avoiding glances, he didn’t pointing, and rarely respond to his name. Thanks.
My son 18 months, rarely react when his name is called. He also seems like avoiding eye contact. Tomorrow, my wife and I is going to bring him to a specialist to check on him. I pray so hard that he is normal. 🙏🏼
@@rabeeatahir661 Hi, the Dr said my son showing many red flags but will be truly diagnosed when he is 3 years old. He is now 2 and a half years old. How ever the Dr suggests us (and my wife) to send him for therapy and we did. The Dr also suggests to send our son to kindergarten for social development which we did also.
I think that my niece has that kind of disease . But I am reading now a book called"story of my life "by Helen Keller: blind, deaf, dumb child . She have the same symptoms at the beginning before a great , clever, loving , private teacher Ms Sullivan succeded in opening her mind . Parents can't always have the capacity to cure:.they have to ask a special teacher : Mrs Sullivan have been recommended by Graham Bell to the parents who believed him.
The GAPS protocol is a complete game changer with anything neuro, gut or immune based - can't recommend it highly enough. My youngest has gone from nonverbal at 5 to a chatterbox and improving in all aspects of his life - he now has a much more positive future ahead of him.
There is no cure... To try to cure is like to fit an object inside your head that doesn't fit, or compatible. Try to make a blind born person to see with therapy.... Wtf... Aaarrg
even if there was a cure i wouldnt take it because there has been lots of evidence that people with autism can read otger peoples minds. for example int the video the woman asked what shape do u want the boy said circle and the other woman said thats what i was thinking
What if they are 5 yrs old? Can their brain be re-wired? My daughter was in private daycare and these so called providers did not discipline her and it was in a french daycare. We speak english at home more often. She was there from 2 - 3yrs old. She is behind but she learned so much with us within 5 months after I took her out of that stupid daycare. Do not go for private daycare, if so make sure they operate like government daycares. I am from Quebec. Government daycares are better and record everything by law. If your kid has an issue, you are notified, right away whereas private they may not because they rely on your money.
early treatment is essential, but once they make it to public education all the early effort goes out the window. If your child is on Medicaid you can hang it up because getting testing and help becomes a finger pointing, not my job circle of BS.
I don't think it's so much about integrating new things slowly as it's about doing it when the autistic person is more open. For example, if a child is motivated by bubbles, you can play it for a while the way he likes it and then blow some bubbles in an exciting way on a puzzle you want to integrate. It's much more likely the child will be more open to play with the puzzle afterwards. I completely agree with you concerning the attitude of the person working with the autistic person!
I will tell my husband that fixing his gut will magically make his 100+ missing genes (the absence of several of which is causing his autism) come back. What food do you propose to make the scramblases come back? Scramblase eggs? BTW if you don't know what a scramblase is please look it up. Biology and naming is hilarious. But seriously the man is missing 4 out of 5 scramblases and that is really not good.

The official page of this therapy is autismtreatmentcenter (dot) org . Here you'll find information about the details of the therapy, videos with parents who use it with their children. And just as a note, after discovering this therapy I left everything in order to be a volunteer using this therapy every day with a beautiful child. It simply makes me happy:)
"The relationship between labor induction/augmentation and autism must be considered." - I am the parent of 2 boys on the spectrum, and neither of these alleged influences are a factor.
I study child psychology and despite what they're trying to sya in this clip it is extremely difficult and controversial to diagnose so young. Not responding to your name, repetitive play, these are things that non-asd children may also exhibit. Also unlike the shitty journalist is advocating children with autism can be amazing and it should not be regarded so negatively as many others have also pointed out. Stigma is probably the reason why that mother refused to believe her son may have autism. I hope she apologised to her mother!
To tell you the Truth They are observing everything's that they can take in their little brain , and they are very smart. my Grandson is smart . ( he can take pictures from a cell phone and download game he very good and even know how to use the tv remote control it did not take him 5 times before he got it o no ONLY ONE TIME. THEY ARE JUST TOO SMART (5yrs old ) I love him. any thing that is new it takes no time to learn what ever it is. but once joy of something is gone that's it I forgot to mention he knows how to use a caulate
Autism has been studied deeply in the '50-ies and even nowadays we cannot honestly rule out a psychogenic cause of this super-pervasive disorder of lots of our children. Unfortunately Autism seems to be rather frequent in USA and Great Britain more than in Mediterranean Countries, perhaps because of in those places there is a different culture, less advanced, but les "dis-humanizing"? We do not know, but the problem of Autism must be faced and not ignored by citizens
@@ruflig You have stronger feelings and experience your senses differently. You have trouble with socializing. You have trouble with carrying out higher order thinking tasks
We're looking to build a specialist centre to support families affected by autism. Please help us by taking a few minutes to complete our survey at www.familiesaffectedbyautism.co.uk/surveys/
1 in 150 ? So nobody was concerned with those numbers when 60 minutes did this story and it was up from 1 in 500. So today it's 1 in 50. Maybe even worse than that. Maybe 1 in 25. Headed for 1 in 2. And still no crisis? What's it going to take ? This isn't normal! This isn't going away either. God help us.
Christina,my son was diagnosed at 9! Their brain is pliable still,it's not too late,it's not your fault,it breaks your heart because you love them so much and you're afraid for them.
I was born with autism before it was recognized as a developmental disorder, and wasn't diagnosed until I was in my 50's. I was fortunate to get help from teachers, neighbors and a school nurse, who taught me what I needed to know about social rules and being kind to friends. Discovering autism at an early age is positive since so much can be done to assist your child. Today, I'm a mother, grandmother and an advocate for young adults on the spectrum of autism. I taught myself to process faces
I have one question
Is autism person kids in future also autism??
@@noreenbakht7877 I can't speak for Ruth, but Autism does run in families. It isn't a guaranteed that an Autistic person will have an Autistic child.
I theorize that the increase in Autism is actually just that they are getting better at testing and there is more awareness. I think that if they looked into the child's family they would find undiagnosed Autistic adults.
to teach social rules is the job of parents. Your parents failed to teach to to behave in the socially acceptable way, therefore your school had to help you and do what your parents failed to do.
@@svetavinogradova4243 lol at this as an example of a "socially acceptable" comment.
@@donnyrosart8714 Yes, it is.
My son has autism. He’s 18 now. Lots of time and patience. He didn’t start talking until he was 12 . His speech is coming along nicely. I haven’t had speech pathology. He’s doing okay. He understands everything people say. His brain is developing really well.
I have learned that we truly need to savor every day with our babies. Mine is almost a year old now and I stopped(for the most part)trying to find out "what's wrong with her ,or why does she do this or doesn't do that",etc. She is precious in every single way and I am going to enjoy and not question the things she does and the ways she acts
Couldn't agree more :)
my son was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder at 2 1/2. and so many people call autism sad. but sooooo many children that are autistic are sooo happy. yes they dont talk but they have their own way of communication. if your child does not talk you should try sign language. i taught this to my son and it helps to know what he needs.
thank you for that outlook! I work with autistic adults and the world needs more parents like you! Thank you for loving and accepting your child! It brings tears to my eyes to know the opportunities your child will have with you in their life. There is a special place in heaven for parents like yourself.
I am from Northern Ireland. I was diagnosed just a few years before this newscast was originally broadcast. According to a news report that has since been deleted but I was lucky enough to see 2 years before it was deleted, I didn’t develop normally and I was late in many developmental milestones, such as holding my head up, babbling, crawling, etc. I didn’t talk until I was 3. I have attended a Mainstream school since the age of 3 (albeit in an Autism class with mainstream integration for some parts of the day, like some other people in the same class).
I was in two Special Education classes (one from P1-P4 and one from P5-P7). Just like I just said, many people in these Autism classes, including myself, were integrated into mainstream for some parts of the day. I’ve basically had the best of both worlds for about 10 years, since I started primary school in 2011. I thank all the people who have supported me in Primary School and Secondary School. Without them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
Outside of school, I only had a few friends (mostly ones who lived in the same street) who were nice to me and enjoyed my company. Some of those friends were friends with my sisters (I have 3 sisters, 1 older 2 younger, I’m the only boy in the house), and some of them are teenage boys like me. One of them, who we’ll only call “D”, lives in the street I currently live in. From the day we met (which was a few days after I moved into my current house), we were good friends and we got along well. I haven’t seen him in a long time. All of these outside-of-school friends are neurotypical, and yet we still got along okay.
Another friend, who we’ll call “K”, was only mean to me once. The rest of the time, he was nice to me. We talked about our interests, made stop motion videos, played video games and had fun. It was nice.
Any other person outside of school, or any non-autistic person at school who wasn’t in my Mainstream integration group would either ignore me, make fun of my autism or just be confused by me. The people in my Integration group were the only Mainstream people who didn’t bully me until I got to Secondary school. I didn’t really talk to many Mainstream people who weren’t in my Integration group anyway. It was only when I reached secondary school when this stopped.
For a brief while in P5, I was in my Integration group full time, however I couldn’t really cope so they took me out of there not long after. However, my P5 mainstream teacher (who we’ll call Mrs K) continued to be my integration teacher for the rest of the school year. Looks like Autism support mixed with Mainstream integration was the best thing for me in the end.
I’m now in Year 11, where the Learning Support centre at my school is called “Learning Centre”. Once again, I’ve had some Mainstream integration for some parts of the day as well as learning support classes. I’m doing some Entry Level subjects and 5 GCSEs. I think I am well fit to do these things.
Although everyone with Autism is different, I think the support in school and the support my family have always given me at home, along with me being diagnosed early, have made me the person I am today.
@Mp It apparently “heals” autism? Grow up. There is no cure for autism. Grow up, parent in denial.
I'm sick of people treating Autistic disorders like a disease. I'm more concerned about the cure for prejudice than a cure for autism.
Even a monkey can be taught to behave in a socially acceptable way. This is what autistic people should understand - there are rules of politeness they must obey.
Please remember that this is an old show when not much was known about ASD. I know this is old because Leslie Stahl is younger here.
Please take note of how old this video is. The mercury in vaccines theory has been disproved.
I was the opposite of Valerie, I knew that something was different with my son but my family and friends said that nothing was wrong. This was back in 2007 so I had no idea what Autism was. I cried when they told me, I was terrified. My son is approaching 17 and is an honor student who will be going to college for chemical engineering 😊
Something tells me that boy hidan is high functioning.That wobble thing he does I used to do as we'll.Im a 21 year old with High Functioning Autism and I've been undiagnosed for the past 20 years of my life until1 year ago!
Blessed Spear how does that work?
My son does that too. He’s 3 and has mild autism. He used to obsess over spinning lids, plates, bowls etc. He still does it once in a while.
please god. Make kids like these have hope. amen
God
They do! 💖💕
zev daman Yessss Lord God give these children hope and strength ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
They do. My grandson who I raise has autism and he is my sunshine! Sometimes are difficult but we pull through.
They do. Just because they think/behave differently doesn't make them hopeless. Autism isn't a tragedy.
It's hard for 1st time mothers to realize the signs because they've never raised a child before, much less a "normal" functioning child. As a grandmother now, I see signs of autism or HFA in my 15 month old grandchild....I realize things that aren't "normal" bc I raised 2 "normal" children. My daughter is finally starting to agree with me. We took our concerns to the pediatrician and we were totally dismissed by the Dr and she actually got mad that we even suggested it! We go back to the Dr soon (and will be seeing a diff Dr)...if they don't at least listen to us this time, we will be switching peds! It was unreal and just unbelievable the way we were treated!
This happened to me as a child, by my pediatrician, after a school therapist suggested we seek a "mild developmental disorder" diagnosis. But the doctor thought that I was "too functional". I did not have friends around for my parents to really see the difference in me. I was bullied by teachers even! Finding out at 32 about autism has been like a lightswitch for me... Too bad I was not given proper social skills as a child. I did get diagnosed with ADHD but it is not the full picture. I cannot keep a job, partly due to my "hyper-excitable" sensory brain, partly because I cannot socialize and eventually, no matter how hard I work, I get fired with no reason given. But I know when a boss does not like me, based on how I read emotions. I predict my termination and try harder. It really is quite traumatic.
You are a wonderful parent, it is so nice to see a parent that thinks of an autistic as a blessed child rather than something negative that needs to be cured...
There SEEMS to be an increase in autism because the diagnosis has been expanded to include conditions like Aspergers and because people are more aware of it. It wasn't even a diagnosis until I was grown , but I can remember relatives and neighbors and classmates who fit the criteria. There was no diagnosis then, so there is no "increase" from that time, because there were ZERO kids being diagnosed then.
I'm autistic, too. I'm glad you put "correct" in quotes. Besides the sensory pain and some of the isolation, I would prefer that my neurology not be weighed-in on by NTs at all. I've noticed that a lot of the criticism I get contains a strong objection to the aesthetics of my way of thinking/behaving. When I boil it down, people usually don't give a crap about changing the things that actually make me less productive.
Praise this teacher..parents and who ever is around children /adults with Autism..the first thing they need is..PATIENTS...no yelling.. screaming ..just stay calm and that..people that have autism do not make load sounds,,quick movements..change of anything..you have to add new things to them slowly,,so they can except new things..my opinion only..
So sad the reporter acts like it's something terrible to have autism! My 6 year old son is one of the happiest kids around. He 's a smart, funny, sensitive, carring boy and he 's doing well in school. Sure, he's picky when it comes to friends, sports or interests and we had to find a different and new way to communicate with him so he wouldn't get (so many) anger attacks. But as a family we made it work. Teachers, strangers, friends and family... everybody likes him and accept his sometimes crazy ways of doing things! Autism is a part of him and we wouldn't change a thing if we had a choice! His two sisters do not have Autism. But i think the therapy is a good thing!
I find when they do express themselves ...I wouldn't say anger ..trying to communicate to us how they are feeling ....I admire the parents who get involve with there child...NZ...
Disappointed with the reporter like she written them off...They are special in there own way ...if teach them right they can overcome these obstacles with the help they need
....To those who judge and say they not normal define normal,our world is not normal the pple are not normal there's crimes been committed is that normal etc...look around ... my thoughts...
I love my daughter, it was hard at first because I did not know why she was so upset. When I learned more than I was able to understand better what she was going through and we are all happier because we can change to better fit her instead of trying get her to fit into our world. We do try to add more things or her to better understand socializing so she can build friendships and she is able to get a long with her class peers. She still only hangs out with kids that have the same interest as she does. She is doing much better with socializing the two years ago. She would not sit next to any of her peers at lunch and she would only draw at recess and not run or play. I have no idea why everyone sees Autism as a bad thing. These kids are amazing at so much and they hold so much knowledge it takes everyone they have contact with by shock. My daughter at two and a half could just start rattling off all of the different dinosaurs and what each eats, if they are a Theropod which means they have three toed feet and they have sharp teeth for ripping meat. She is also a great artist. They do not realize how special these kids are.
Facts I was thinking the same thing!!! She dumb af
If I had high functioning autism i would feel ashamed of my self
Hi 👋 my daughter Harley Rosie is showing signs of High Functional Autism shes just turned 2 years old this April gone & my wife has High Functional Autism too & Harley is getting better we still working on it but Autism is not a disease its just you see things a bit differently & my wife loves your videos they so educational lol 😆
Christy, when you have the time I recommend you this movie: search on youtube "Son-Rise: A Miracle of Love (The True Story of Raun Kaufman)" - it's about the parents who created the Son-Rise therapy for their autistic child and they've been working with thousands of other autistic children ever since. It's the only therapy I believe in 100% and I can assure you it will also transform you as a parent. It's the most loving, respectful and accepting approach you've ever seen.
Trust me, if you have a kid on the autism spectrum, it IS a HUGE deal.
It's hard not easy only ppl deal with know exactly what that mean u feel like u died every day
Also, I was diagnosed with autism when I was a teen, while I do not have autism (I didn't get diagnosed with nothing 3 times after). I had to go to schools with autistic children and it was just horrible. Please parents, before giving your son a label.. wait until he gets more mature. JUST because he/she shows a few signs, doesn't mean he/she has it, you could be ruining his/her life with the label. Also, what you think has HUGE impact on the diagnosis.
Treatment has to begin as early and intense as possible. These kids will need all the help they can get once they hit their teens and tweens. They can become easy targets for bullies.
People with autism are human too. They are part of our society with their very own unique qualities and capabilities. Stop treating Austism as a wretched disease and claiming people with this trait are 'sick' and should be 'fixed'. Instead, we should help them to be able to maximise their potential and help them to overcome some of their difficulties such as communication. Austistic people had contributed to the society as much as 'normal' people did. Some people are born with lower IQ but with outstanding special skills, some with high IQ, and all these people are complement to one another and made up our society. So, why are some ignorant people denying the place of autistic people in the society?
I'm just frustrated with the stigmatised view of autism. Just sharing a piece of my mind.

corect!
My son is the same as Heiden in this video. He’s 15 months old at the moment and he’s saying words making animal sounds and is right on track but he does show some signs of ASD. Like not responding to his name very well. He was worse at 12 months like Heiden and then he greatly improved by 14-15 months like Heiden as well. He still has little moments when I worry about him but I cant distinguish if it’s actually autism or just him?? It’s all so tricky. This video gave me some hope tho. Even though I’d love him unconditionally either way. My biggest fear at this moment is regression. I don’t want him to learn all of these new things and wake up one day like someone has taken it all away from him. That’s what makes me the most sad.
I have autism, and I know that over time I learn how to "look" at the world in the "correct" way. I have learned through alot of pain how to be more or less an acceptable maybe admirable being. I have had to learn how to think. I'm sure this therapy works to rid of the problem (not thinking righ) autism all together.
My 7yr old has it. I noticed a decline in his speech around 12 months. My kid was an early learner and was full-on walking by 9 months so i knew something was up. I fought with his dr and ended up calling a specialist myself. He was enrolled into a program that gave him various therapies and after not talking at all, was talking again at 3. He still has some issues, but he is thriving! He's doing good in school and has lots of friends. I noticed the same issues arising in my now, 22 month old son around 12 months as well. Same thing, was learning fast, talking in sentences, walking early, them a steady decline. Its heart-breaking honestly especially when I realized they got it from me. I had no idea. My younger son started therapy last week so I'm hoping they can help him as well.
How did you know they got it from you? No one knows yet the cause of ASD...
@@___Anakin.Skywalker because I too was diagnosed with it and had no idea. There are multiple people in my family with it so yes it can be genetic
My son started having early intervention services at 18 months old and he didn't get any better overtime with the exception of adding maybe 2 additional words to his vocabulary. He still does the excessive stimming behavior and finger flicking, he does the screaming, hurting himself, speaks a lot of unintelligible words, walks on his tip toes and spends most of his days turning light switches on and off as well as walking in circles.
So sorry. My daughter is 5 yrs 9 months. She's gotten intensive therapy and schooling for two years now. Not much progress. How old is your son now?
Jake Jones My son is 3, he turned 3 in February. Sorry to hear about your daughter, it seems as though these programs just don't work. What type of behaviors does your daughter do?
The positive about this report is that early diagnosis is a key for success.
this video breaks my heart my son is going to be 2 years old in feb and he might be autistic i've called several places including north valley regional center and they havent help be out with hes therapy or even call me for a evaluation i hope my son gets help like this kids ;(
DULCE AGUIRRE did your son get evaluated?
How is he
How is he?
It's just one step in front of another. A lot can change from now until their mid 20s when the plasticity slows down.Another fabulous resource is the book Kids Beyond Limits by Anat Baniel,it's fabulous. Good luck on your journey and sucess.
Asperger's Syndrome is so hard to diagnose. I was diagnosed at 9 and my undiagnosed cousin is 11 and she definitely has it. I wouldn't change a thing about any of us. I happen to be friends with a kid who is low functioning and cannot speak, and I would never want him to be any different.
I have 8 children of my own, and all of them are normal children, so when my younger brother had his first child I noticed that his child had autism when he was 6mths because he was not developing the same way as my children did. I did research where I learned to understand that with persistence parents can really help their child, I wish they would make this information very widely available.
I was diagnosed with autism at 3 years old. I also can't imagine being diagnosed with it at a later age like 12 years old.
@Mp Oh, okay. But I'm not taking any herbs to heal my disability. I wouldn't be myself without it.
Anyone posting rude or hateful comments about this ya'll should be ashamed of yourselves.....and you could learn something from these kids and their parents, things they go through...like everyone thinks their lives are sooooo hard. The world is such a negative place and it is only like that because we 'people' make it that way. Try something new like being nice and being thankful..the world would be much more peaceful.
My name is Molly I am 20 years old and I have a pre-autistic condition called P.P.C.D since I was 4 years old, since I was a kid i would have outbursts and now that I am older I am self conscience about how i act and how my emotions affect others around me
I love what this woman is doing ❤️❤️ Aww, it warms my heart to see such success
"I wouldn't want to cause the Pain & Anguish of having another child diagnosed on the spectrum" :/ I didn't have pain or anguish when my son was diagnosed....
20 minute tantrums? Hah! Mine's having one now that's been at least 40 minutes!
Mine has some that last up to 3 hours non-stop!
Most of the problem of and solution to autism-spectrum "disorders" lies in the diet. I'm not exaggerating. Look it up: Dr. Natasha Campbell-Mcbride, Gut And Psychology Syndrome (GAPS)
I wish you patients and a happy life.
You've won a trophy.
It's not a tantrum it's a meltdown, there's a difference
i have a friend with autism, he is a 7th grader! he can read pretty big words, i was impressed with his progress, he can understand what you are saying, and hes not violent! The only thing is that he says random things, and says hes a professional easter bunny. he can also remember VERY well!
Funny how a person with a mental handicap is better at school work than a normal child...? RIZE OF THE AUSTISTICS!!!
lol, OH YEAH!!
+SuperTrudog Yeah my son who didn't talk when he was three can now tell me the exact dates when the family did things years back when he wasn't even talking because he was always looking at the calendar. He remembers every date.
I think every kid is unique and very special. I have Asperger Syndrome and I wouldn't change anything a bit
Wait, im a grown man of 30+ and sometime when i sit alone thinking, i throw the cover of a can on the table just to hear it wabble like that baby...
im not kidding you...
Autistic kids do this for HOURS.
@@mayelaine2 Because their incompetent parent allows it - never distracting, never removing the offending object, never slapping for stimming, never disciplining generally.
No child can do something for hours unless their parent condones it.
@Samantha Cole You can and you should, if the stimming stops the child from interacting with his environment and from learning. Without the ability to learn the child is doomed.
Do you say that a child must not be exposed to a dentist, as it is cruel - and should get instead all his teeth rotten?
Maybe a child with an injury should not be operated on, since there will be pain? Or blood tests are abuse?
If a good slap takes the child out of his shell and fascilitates his learning - this is a good slap.
“...typical of a healthy young boy”
I think you mean “neurotypical”🙄 My daughter with autism is perfectly healthy.
Yep. That's completely wrong. We are not healthy just because we don't have autism. And autistic children are definitely not unhealthy.
Facts...u can tell the reporter is an ignorant fool
@@monikebrand5087 every autistic child unknown has some sort or gastrointestinal problems one way or another. On top of food allergies and things like that but I guess some are luckier than others right? Some are still in diapers in their 20s and are still nonverbal and sometimes even violent, not just to themselves but to any one around them.. it's sad either way bc they are so gifted in other ways but still cant use their full potential whatever that may be...
I'm not sure how old this video is, but the attitude has changed towards ASD since then. ABA and other similar therapy is no longer the 'Monkey training' it once was.. Therapy is thankly more child lead and based on getting involved in what interests the child instead of giving treats of repeating wanted behaviour.
@@exvaxmama there are plenty of autistic children that have no gastrointestinal or allergy related problems at all.
When I look back sixty years to the 1200 children with whom I attended secondary school, I could say without any doubt that there were at least 12 children among them would nowadays be considered to be on the Autistic Spectrum.
All these children were verbal, and high functioning enough to be within the normal school system.
None of these children were diagnosed with Autism. It was thought of as a condition of major severity. There were thirteen criteria, and no child who was high functioning, and verbal, would pass those criteria.
Eventually, by the mid 1980s, a diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome was given to children who were less severely affected.
What I am telling you here is that Autistic Spectrum Disorders have not increased; they are simply better recognised.
When we look back into the past, certain historic personalities leap out at us as being probably on the Autistic Spectrum.
Michelangelo, Mozart, Samuel Johnson, Lord Byron, Hans Andersen, Einstein.
Best comment ^
None of the famous people you mention were autistic - this is nonsense what you think. Mozart was very communicative - don't mistake a talent for autism.
@@svetavinogradova4243 you have obviously never been around many Autistic individuals. There are lots of communicative Autistic people. There are lots of variances in Autism.
@@jvance6 I hope you know the son mple truth that autism is a theory and has never been proven to exist. The ridiculous attempts to present some famous people of the past (so they cannot object and sue) as autistic only show that people are clinging to the "autism" thing as a desired exolanation.
@@svetavinogradova4243 there have been lots of genes connected to Autism. It's an established diagnoses. I dunno whether this random dead person was or wasn't on the spectrum neither does the original poster, because they used the word probably. Some of these famous people reading their histories it does indicate that they had Autistic traits. The reason why people like to use successful people as examples of Autism is because too often in the past Autism was portrayed as a tragedy. Autism is just a different way to process the world.
It's easy to talk about other people's kids when you don't have to actually raise them. There's no pity party and most people criticize and demean parents with autistic kids, somehow blaming them. When you see parents reaching out for help, it isn't because they feel sorry for themselves or their kid, its to get help for their kid. This is just something you don't know anything about unless you actually raise an autistic kid. Explaining it to someone who has no idea is futile.
I really hate how the reporter called a meltdown a temper tantrum. There's a difference. It makes it sound like this poor kid who is having a hard time look like a spoiled brat. That is just rude
All meltdowns are temper tantrums. She is correct. You can check - give the child a painful spank at the first signs of "meltdown", and pour a glass of cold water over his head - after three sessions like that the "meltdowns.- which are really temper tantrums aimed to control environment - will disappear.
When the child learns that his "meltdown" results in adverse consequences ONLY and no perks - the child's subconscious control tool becomes useless and stops being used.
@@svetavinogradova4243Uh, no... meltdowns are uncontrollable and form of being overwhelmed. Autistic adults can and do have meltdowns too.
@@Marcydalmatian It is all easily controllable by firm measures.
@@svetavinogradova4243 Have you actually met any autistic people or read anything they've written about meltdowns because it's not the same as a meltdown. Punishing an autistic person during a meltdown does NOT help, it can actually make things worse.
A non autistic person can have a breakdown too and they have no control over it either.
My boy has ASD and thru early invention I have seen such a difference. My son is two and will be three in sept
I believe that this is all meant to happen.We can't change human nature.Autism is something beautiful and mysterious.It can be fatal and full of suffering.I know my fair share.However given the chance I would never cure it.Nature is something not meant to be changed.We aren't god.Only when we declare ourselves such.Then that is when we meet our demise.
Nature is something not meant to be changed so we shouldn't be vaccinating babies and causing many children to suffer neurological conditions.
Thank you for sharing.,interesting.
These are great research and studies. It is a must that people should know that autism is not an epidemic and vaccines don’t cause autism.
I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 18 because my parents blamed all my problems on me and my visual impairment
I don't like the tone of this story, all this talk of "epidemics" and how "wrenching" it was for that mother to discover she had two kids on the spectrum, how she's "leaning towards optimism because Hyden is a good kid" as if kids with autism aren't good. We're not diseased, and we're not a tragedy, I wish people would stop treating autism as a death sentence.
I had a friend who thought most American women had autism because they were fake and shallow. Poor guy needs every ounce of weed he can get...
Oh my goodness thank you....I consider my sons autism a gift...it is not a disease
your right people need to stop looking for a cure because there isnt one there is nothing wrong with us we might get angry over little things and have learning difficulties doesnt mean were a freak of nature. what i hated the most was the word autistic people shouldnt be calling someone with autism autistic. where not a jar so u can just label. there basically saying its the way u are so get the over it when saying autistic
Vaccines cause autism. There is no agreed on definition for vaccine encephalopathy, however in this disorder, children commonly experience developmental regression and seizures within one to 14 days after administration of a vaccine which may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism or seizures. But vaccine court likes to claim the autism was caused by the encephalopathy. Not the vaccine. That way they can avoid compensating the victims for autism. It's just word games.
Here are four ways autistic conditions are caused and confirmed by statements from the current President of pharmaceutical giant Merck's Vaccines Division, by US Government agencies, by the US Federal Court and in formally published academic journal papers.
If you read nothing else I strongly recommend you read this PDF Download - [Text of May 5th 2008 email from US HRSA to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News]. In it the US Health Resources Services Administration [HRSA] state to CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson
"We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures."

This video pissed me off. Terms like normal an healthy are not okay. Like what the fuck. My child is perfectly healthy.
Hi Vash, they think it's bad because they don't understand it. They believe that most people who have an ASD diagnosis will be a burden on their families and on society at large, because they haven't been following the research. We do really well when we can get help for the (old model) underlying, or (new model) causal health problems. They're scared, that's all.
Haha! We saw both Sally's when they worked in Denver!
This video is a shame. Behaviors, behaviors.. time to move past it. Maybe 11 year ago they didn't know better, but now when it's so much information out there staying ignorant is a choice.
There's a ton of stigma because of outdated reports like this. Those kids are teens and adults now. They can tell THEIR side of the story which would clear up a lot of stigma if people listened to us.
Autistic people sometimes feel overly stimulated by eye contact. I used to have the same problem.
More are getting diagnosed because they changed the guidelines in 1994 to include more symptoms, symptoms that include all of us, more symptoms means more diagnosed with it, doesn't necessarily mean they have it however.
I literally just got diagnosed today.
Congratulations 🎉
I know I'm a bit late, but still congrats on your diagnose.
Jessica Vance It’s all good lol, thank you :) I’ve come a long way since then
The mother with the non Autistic child also had more facial expressions and a higher tone while talking to her child then the mother of the child who had a diagnoses... *Making one mother more interesting to watch and captivating the attention of the child. Body language and tone of voice goes along way when it comes to communicating and interacting with baby's :D
We call this "autism" but what does that really mean? Are these behaviors even related? Why is it lumped under one umbrella? We don't even know the cause...how can we presume to know if symptoms or behaviors a child exhibits are even related to those of another - especially when they differ so greatly in their intensity.
I do believe in genuine autism diagnosis' and admire families who go through the struggles. But...if not answering to your name, playing with a tin lid and starring at play objects signals autism then that could be half the population. People don't spend enough time with their kids these days so it easier to blame it on something else. But I am by no means saying that about all parents who suspect autism, some parents can spend 24hrs a day with little result. Kudos to those parents.
My oldest son has autism and it does not effect our life at all ever since I started trainng him at BMX riding. JJ is non verbal he does not talk. The autism specialist said Jay Jay would never ride BMX, he has been riding for 5 years now check out his new video ua-cam.com/video/j033YHpZJ6s/v-deo.html
What has changed is, again, the guidelines they go by. More kids are said to have it today because docs go by the updated guidelines as well as occupational therapists. The symptoms these kids have today wouldn't have given anyone any thought yrs ago because the symptoms to look for didn't exist yet. These guidelines tell us if a child lines toys up they may have it & people go by this, yrs ago if a kid lined up his toys no one gave it a 2nd thought & the kids grew up fine.
Early intervention is KEY with autism. I have 3 with ASD and they've come so far with treatments and therapies.
Hi, I know it’s been 4 years. May I ask, are they doing well? With friends? Socially?
My son is 18 months, he hasn’t been able to pronounce even a basic word, he is avoiding glances, he didn’t pointing, and rarely respond to his name.
Thanks.
@@kimballchoo mine are doing very well! You can see in our recent videos how far they’ve come.
Why do they act like autism is BAD, anyway?
because it will end the person up with a disability
My son 18 months, rarely react when his name is called. He also seems like avoiding eye contact. Tomorrow, my wife and I is going to bring him to a specialist to check on him.
I pray so hard that he is normal. 🙏🏼
Can you update please,
@kimball
@@rabeeatahir661 Hi, the Dr said my son showing many red flags but will be truly diagnosed when he is 3 years old. He is now 2 and a half years old.
How ever the Dr suggests us (and my wife) to send him for therapy and we did. The Dr also suggests to send our son to kindergarten for social development which we did also.
Any update?

This has worked as well for my child.Thank God
I think that my niece has that kind of disease . But I am reading now a book called"story of my life "by Helen Keller: blind, deaf, dumb child . She have the same symptoms at the beginning before a great , clever, loving , private teacher Ms Sullivan succeded in opening her mind . Parents can't always have the capacity to cure:.they have to ask a special teacher : Mrs Sullivan have been recommended by Graham Bell to the parents who believed him.
The GAPS protocol is a complete game changer with anything neuro, gut or immune based - can't recommend it highly enough.
My youngest has gone from nonverbal at 5 to a chatterbox and improving in all aspects of his life - he now has a much more positive future ahead of him.
NO! I have high-functioning autism, I wouldn't want my parents to "cure" it if they were given the chance.
There is no cure... To try to cure is like to fit an object inside your head that doesn't fit, or compatible.
Try to make a blind born person to see with therapy.... Wtf... Aaarrg
even if there was a cure i wouldnt take it because there has been lots of evidence that people with autism can read otger peoples minds. for example int the video the woman asked what shape do u want the boy said circle and the other woman said thats what i was thinking
Nicholas tolmie I never heard that before.. hmm..
@gamelvr1 ...such as many scientific discoveries or inventions? #educateyourself
What if they are 5 yrs old? Can their brain be re-wired? My daughter was in private daycare and these so called providers did not discipline her and it was in a french daycare. We speak english at home more often. She was there from 2 - 3yrs old. She is behind but she learned so much with us within 5 months after I took her out of that stupid daycare. Do not go for private daycare, if so make sure they operate like government daycares. I am from Quebec. Government daycares are better and record everything by law. If your kid has an issue, you are notified, right away whereas private they may not because they rely on your money.
thanks for uploading this video
Thanks for sharing
Maybe some, but a lot of it is troubles in social interaction.
early treatment is essential, but once they make it to public education all the early effort goes out the window. If your child is on Medicaid you can hang it up because getting testing and help becomes a finger pointing, not my job circle of BS.
Amanda Loree that’s not true, I have therapy for my child he is in public education and Medicaid
I don't think it's so much about integrating new things slowly as it's about doing it when the autistic person is more open. For example, if a child is motivated by bubbles, you can play it for a while the way he likes it and then blow some bubbles in an exciting way on a puzzle you want to integrate. It's much more likely the child will be more open to play with the puzzle afterwards. I completely agree with you concerning the attitude of the person working with the autistic person!
If you fix the gut, you fix the problem.
I will tell my husband that fixing his gut will magically make his 100+ missing genes (the absence of several of which is causing his autism) come back. What food do you propose to make the scramblases come back? Scramblase eggs?
BTW if you don't know what a scramblase is please look it up. Biology and naming is hilarious. But seriously the man is missing 4 out of 5 scramblases and that is really not good.
I recently heard its 1 out of every 68 children.
Bruceann Yellowega that is correct. I have 3 with autism.
The relationship between labor induction/augmentation and autism must be considered.
Wow…I think we have some very sick people commenting here!

I wonder what the final outcome was.
1976- More than 500 people receiving swine flu vax are paralyzed Guillian-Barre. After decline cases since 1922, Pertussis rises 1976-1980 coincides with increased vax. West Germany ends Pertussis vax. 1977- Dr Gordon Stuart of U of Glasgow published report saying most adverse reactions to vax go unreported. 1980- issue 'Mutation Research' notes children re-vaxed smallpox had "chromosomal aberrations in white blood cells" leading to conclusion smallpox vax is mutagenic (means causes mutations.)
The official page of this therapy is autismtreatmentcenter (dot) org . Here you'll find information about the details of the therapy, videos with parents who use it with their children. And just as a note, after discovering this therapy I left everything in order to be a volunteer using this therapy every day with a beautiful child. It simply makes me happy:)
"The relationship between labor induction/augmentation and autism must be considered." - I am the parent of 2 boys on the spectrum, and neither of these alleged influences are a factor.
I study child psychology and despite what they're trying to sya in this clip it is extremely difficult and controversial to diagnose so young. Not responding to your name, repetitive play, these are things that non-asd children may also exhibit. Also unlike the shitty journalist is advocating children with autism can be amazing and it should not be regarded so negatively as many others have also pointed out. Stigma is probably the reason why that mother refused to believe her son may have autism. I hope she apologised to her mother!
This is a very interesting story about Kids who have Autism
He look's beautiful that boy looks handsome.
To tell you the Truth They are observing everything's that they can take in their little brain , and they are very smart. my Grandson is smart . ( he can take pictures from a cell phone and download game he very good and even know how to use the tv remote control
it did not take him 5 times before he got it o no ONLY ONE TIME. THEY ARE JUST TOO SMART (5yrs old ) I love him. any thing that is new it takes no time to learn what ever it is. but once joy of something is gone that's it I forgot to mention he knows how to use a caulate
he knows how to use a calculator .
Whether her son receives a diagnosis of ASD or not, his being as she described 'such a good boy' at one year of age isn't predictive either way.
Exactly
Autism has been studied deeply in the '50-ies and even nowadays we cannot honestly rule out a psychogenic cause of this super-pervasive disorder of lots of our children. Unfortunately Autism seems to be rather frequent in USA and Great Britain more than in Mediterranean Countries, perhaps because of in those places there is a different culture, less advanced, but les "dis-humanizing"? We do not know, but the problem of Autism must be faced and not ignored by citizens
I absolutley hat how america is handling that term
Theres nothing wrong with them cause they have autism my dad has autism he is smart
Your comment makes me so happy. I have autism and I want to be a mom some day.
@@ruflig You have stronger feelings and experience your senses differently. You have trouble with socializing. You have trouble with carrying out higher order thinking tasks
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Any parent can do this with their child autistic or not, you dont have to go thru all kinds of BS therapies that cost thousands of dollars
Omg my son whose 14 months old doesn’t respond whenever I call his name though he makes eye contact tries to say some words.
We're looking to build a specialist centre to support families affected by autism. Please help us by taking a few minutes to complete our survey at www.familiesaffectedbyautism.co.uk/surveys/
Im 30 and had signs of it early but never diagnosed.
Ttttttttttttttuuuuooo
1 in 150 ? So nobody was concerned with those numbers when 60 minutes did this story and it was up from 1 in 500. So today it's 1 in 50. Maybe even worse than that. Maybe 1 in 25. Headed for 1 in 2. And still no crisis? What's it going to take ? This isn't normal! This isn't going away either. God help us.
Christina,my son was diagnosed at 9! Their brain is pliable still,it's not too late,it's not your fault,it breaks your heart because you love them so much and you're afraid for them.
