He is beginning to mimick a few words and phrases, but he still can’t communicate his needs verbally (he is 6) and is beginning to use a speech device and having success with the speech device so far

So that’s actually not true! Autistic children are very different, and my son is what is called an under responder! Over responders certainly would be over stimulated and need a decrease in bright contrasting colors and more cool neutral tones in their cal ing environment, however my son is constantly under stimulation and needs the extra stimulation to process information and learn! There are many stereotypes with autism, and unfortunately one of them is that over stimulation is the only presentation, however it gets even more complicated that just over and under stimulated! For example my son is over all and under responder, however he is an over responder orally and with temperature, though temperature and pain are not often discussed, they usually stick to the 7 main sensoria’s categories! He loves textures on his skin, however his mouth is very over responsive, and he cannot eat food because of this. He also enjoys very extreme and over powering smells including bad smells!

I do have an old video on an OT session somewhere, I don’t really do videos anymore but it goes into this a bit, his old OT explains it in the video somewhere.

He is laughing lol

There is a herbal recommendations I got about dr Oyalo and his herbal remedy which work perfectly on my sons improvements from nonverbal to verbal and his and social skill till now

Sorry I was very new to editing videos and my son liked this song and helped me pick it, I will put something alerting people in the description

Yes, but not in a long time

He is turning 6, he is still mostly non verbal but is beginning to get some echolalia and words for labeling, just not for communicative purposes, he also can use a yes no touch chart sometimes for communication, he also cannot follow simple one step directions quite yet, he still is globally delayed and does not interact with other children outside of his brother, and it is not in a playful or typical way But, he also has so much more awareness and interaction with his family, he has more of an interest in being with us, and he is experiencing more and more things. He is still disabled and always will be, but he is also coming along and growing and progressing and becoming a sweet young man lol. We also have found out since this video that he has 5 genetic variants, several of which are associated with autism, one causes CDLS, the NIPBL gene, which commonly causes autism as well as other symptoms he has (slow growth, IDD, chronic vomiting and severe feeding issues, raynauds, etc).

@@louderthanwordsInclusivity thank you so much for sharing this. Hes very similar to my 2.5 year old I wish you all the best

Mona words have more power than you think. When people ask if he's autistic just say I doubt it. If you truly feel he is believe it or not he can be delivered. Look up Richard Lorenzo ( Roc church) or Pastor Richard Lorenzo)

Well whether it is autism or not, the fact that they are already getting support they need is great! If they do get diagnosed with it, then just remember that it is identifying a neurology that is already present, to help equip you and the medical and educational system with the knowledge to meet their needs! I know that there is more to it than that, but just take things one day at a time.❤️

@@louderthanwordsInclusivity Thank you for the advice I think that in about 1 or 2 more years I might be flying to Virginia Beach for magnetic e therapy....

@@julianrichy5830 Lorenzo yes I saw his videos . He's really good

I’m glad you found it interesting! That’s why I made that actually, because I had never seen another child like mine until I saw a child a the therapy clinic that was diagnosed, and that’s when it clicked that he really likely was autistic (we already were waiting for his eval, but I was still thinking that it was just a delay and unique traits)-I very much wanted to put this out there so that another parent like me at that weird place before knowing can also see another child like theirs, especially since modern parenting can be so competitive, and it can feel like you’re doing something wrong when one of your children just aren’t meeting the milestones, despite doing things the same. He is going on 6 now, and is still very similar, but he will mimic a word here and there or phrase like, “happy birthday” when he sees us bringing groceries in (bagged items) or handing items to each other or eating pastries, and he has much more interaction now, as far as pulling us where he needs and such things. There definitely are other things that can cause a presentation similar to autism, however Autism seems to be the most common cause of such a presentation regarding disabilities, at least most commonly diagnosed.

I want to share about a herbal recommendations I got about Dr Oyalo on KZbin and his herbal remedy which work perfectly on my sons autism. speech and social skill has improved till now

He has 5 genetic variants, including NIPBL (Cornelia De Lange) which is being studied by SPARK for Autism. He is not up to date on his vaccines, a decision we made in conjunction with his ped due to his multiple genetic variants.

@@louderthanwordsInclusivity that is not what I meant. I don't mean how many he gotvor is getting for a possible treatment. I meant how many of the standard issued 💉before the diagnostic of autism. Example the vitamin k shot immediately after birth that hospitals tend to push and give as routine then when you go to the doctor he 1month or 2 later they push another then another than another etc. My son was born 2 years ago and he still can't talk, he did receive vitamin k shot only. I didn't know that the vitamin k shot is not a vitamin, it is actually a synthetic drug meant to coagulate the blood for excessive bleeds(original intent). This not a normal shot and there is very little info on ingredients and side effects of this.

@@mynamemylastname7179 no I’m saying we delayed vaccines due to his complex medical profile

@@mynamemylastname7179 he didn’t get hep b, or the others at birth,

@@louderthanwordsInclusivity what about the vitamin k shot, that synthetic shot is suppose to coagulate the blood after birth so that they don't have excessive bleeds. This shot actually goes to the brain passing through the brain barrier that regulates the bood circulation to the brain (it is not suppose to go past the brain barrier). Therefore synthetic matarial of the shot reaches the brain. Have you spoken with a specialist doctor about the possible side effects of this shot. Normal doctors won't say or admit that this or any other shot is a possible cause of anything.

that’s not the case actually for many-that’s the exact reason that the old DSM used to include infantile autism as a specific diagnosis with, PDD-NOS, and Asperger’s. because there was a subtype where symptoms presented in infancy, prior to the initial regression. also, most states actually don’t ALLOW evaluations that young, 18 months is the earliest, and many state wait until 2-3 unfortunately. So there is this “initial regression” that occurs among many autistic people, some evidence even points to most, and many will present with NO observable symptoms until this initial regression, often occurring at around 14-2.5 years old. Now my son and others like him who presented traits in infancy, obviously did have observable “features” and delays, however at 14 months old my son woke up different one day. the milestones that he had reached had disappeared, and it was like a different child, despite him already being in therapy since 7 months old and having recognized delays. Therefore, when this occurs with children who had no delays, met all the milestones typically, with no atypical behaviors, it often IS the first sign of autism for these children. this is a pattern that has occurred since it’s recognition in the 70s, they still aren’t sure why, it obviously doesn’t mean children aren’t autistic prior to the regression, but no, autistic people do not necessarily have traits that can be observed in infancy, though sometimes they do. This however doesn’t change the barrier to diagnosis before 2

Walmart! It's a folding hammock chair!

@@louderthanwordsInclusivity aw no I'm in the uk and we dont have walmart. Its so good. My asd boy would love it too. Thank you x

He is doing great! He is 5.5 now, and he has more interaction, he still doesn’t have a reliable method of functional communication developed but he is beginning to mimic some words, he is coming along in his own time🥰
