Yeah I’ve been told to give my son a snack for a reward and I refuse to do that. I do not want him to have a bad relationship with food.. that’s something that I struggle with so why would I ant that for my son

She should go to gymnastics when she’s older!!

I find it so nice that he helped in the decision making for his party.

what did you name your robot vacuum i have one his name is rocky

Why does Tessie wear headphones all the time? And are those real headphones on our little My Little Pony?

I'm an adult and at 54 was diagnosed with autism. Have always had kind of a irregular sleep patterns compared to most non autistic people. I tried melatonin three different times over the course of about a year, gave it some time in between. The melatonin did not help me sleep better but I did get a really bad headaches the next day from it not like a sharp pain but kind of a dull almost like not a full hangover feeling but that's the best description I can give and I think people should be aware of that.

My 6 year old granddaughter has been in ABA since age 2 and it has been amazing for her. She cries if she can’t go, she loves her therapists. She has had a couple of times she had to stay home for 2 weeks or more while waiting for insurance approval and she was going nuts! She loves the structure of the day at ABA and is very relaxed when she gets home on the days she goes.

I was always different but I would say to myself I was just dumb because everything was just harder for me

To hear a parent talk about how much they adore their child’s stimming behavior is so beautiful and comforting.

She’s cute!

I got in trouble for laughing at school and people get angry at me smiling when they're serious

I have seen your video regarding sensory sensitivity disorder. I feel like disgusting whenever I see any gold, metal, silver coins, currency coins, currency notes, rusty water combined with pins near them, pins, coins near algae. Whenever I think of them or feel like touching them or seeing someone who wears earings I feel so disgusting, irritated, etc. I am not understanding how to explain my problem. Whenever I see any objects with algae, like the green color in bathrooms, I feel so irritated. Why this is happening only for me? Is this any disease? Please help me to understand more about my problem because i am not able to explain it properly 😭 😔

Goodness! Such an informative video on this aspect of raising a child with autism. ❤

Thank you for sharing your experience ❤❤❤

I am and reborn mommy

Will you please do a what I got my kids for Christmas this year I missed it last year (understandable as to why) but I love watching them each year!

Do you have heds to

Progressive ABA is trying to change this. But then if not ABA, what is your solution to curbing any troublesome behavior from people with special needs?

THANK YOU! As a parent that sent thier child to ABA and also has regrets, I know how hard it was to put this video together and speak up! It was very brave of you to share your experience. You have both inspired me, and given solace. Thank you!

I knew a family who had three children and all were autistic. The mother was in denial about the last two. When the second one was diagnosed, she lost it. The autism was so obvious.

I went to Great Wolf 2 months ago with my wife and daughter and foolishly overestimated my phone's water resistance 😔 figured since it was only getting splashed that it would be safe to carry and take pictures. It's permanently broken and will cost thousands to extract the data from. Really unfortunate. Otherwise the place was really fun and I look forward to going again in a few years when she's older.

My daughter is 13 months old and I see so much of her in Tessie here. I have a feeling we'll be getting a diagnosis by 18 months like she did. I appreciate you sharing your videos with the world to help other parents going through the same experiences.

ORGANIC

Try to tell the content quicker, I was bored half way and do not want to see the video

Thanks for sharing, I wish there was more info out there that isn’t biased either way and from people who have tried it.

I'm 47 yr female. In the process of diagnosis testing and now waiting. I'm pretty sure it's autism and ADHD . Just started looking into autism possibly less than a year ago. It would explain a lot. I'm pretty sure my mom and grandpa are. I never knew my mom to talk coherent as you do. You look like my mom when she was younger. I always thought she just didn't want me, but it may have been how her autism is . She was in her own world so it was very lonely.

its convenient！ and happy to see you enjoy your daily life~~

I saw an article that Walmart was getting Caroline’s carts

0:06. Me confidently shouting the wrong answer in school 😂

My twins are dying to go but I can't afford it.

Which kind of therapy or approach would you suggest instead of this one?

I know this is 4 years old now and you may not see it, but towards the end when you talked about feeling things that were sounds, it made me wonder if you have synesthesia or if you’ve heard of it. Those descriptions to me sound like a pretty good possibility that you are in some way. It’s a pretty interesting condition, but briefly, it’s basically when a person’s senses get sort of crosswired in their brain. For example, I have a friend with it that sees numbers in colors - every number has its own color when she sees them (independent of if they’re actually colored or not). She has always been very good with math and works a lot in accounting, and she’s always been exceptional with preparing for audits and one time she was explaining what she had been working on and how when she was going through the spreadsheet of all the past year’s transactions, she’d have to look for the numbers with the wrong colors, and I had just watched a video about synesthesia so I asked her if she meant like “when the balances are in the red”, etc., and she said, “no. I mean when the numbers are the wrong color because they don’t add up correctly. You know how they’re supposed to be the right color when they add up right?” So I told her to go watch the video I had just seen and she did and came back and said, “you mean you don’t see numbers in different colors when you look at them???” She was completely SHOCKED! She had NO IDEA that through her whole life that everyone didn’t see that when they looked at numbers, but it suddenly made sense to her why she was so much better at accounting and balancing accounts because it would be so much more work if you had to just stare at the raw numbers and meticulously go through and make sure they all added up one by one. Anyway, something to consider if you haven’t already or don’t already know. But this was a great and really helpful video because I’ve been thinking about whether or not I sould go try to get a diagnosis myself at 51. I’m pretty sure I am after spending the last few years researching it to see if it fit or not, but that’s not the same thing as a proper diagnosis.

I suspected that something was going on with my grandson when he was a newborn, but I didn't want to mention it to my daughter because I thought that maybe I was just overthinking things. He would startle very, very easily right from birth. I don't know if anyone else noticed this with their child or grandchild or if this is common or not? If we had a hard time getting him calmed down even as a small baby, I would hold him in one arm and start vacuuming with the other and he'd immediately go to sleep. My daughter and her husband and their oldest lived with me for a short time just before my daughter gave birth and a few months after. As my grandson got a little older, I noticed he was a bit behind on his milestones and eventually started lining up his toys and even his food. When my daughter finally mentioned that she had concerns about him not reaching his milestones quite as fast as my granddaughter, I felt okay to mention my observations to her. She made an appointment with his physician to discuss her concerns which led to him being tested and eventually diagnosed before he was 18 months old.

We are currently in the early stages of having our daughter test for autism or neurodiverse personalities (as I call it). We just meet an old school psychologist and omg I read her Iike a book. She was pro aba and so controlling ; making back hand micro aggression to get a reaction from us. She had the balls to tell us “why don’t you give her candy to make her do things you want “. We stopped the initial assessment and will be looking at other professionals. Be careful people! Also we wanted to quickly start the assessment as she informed us “once your child is diagnosed with autism, she will qualify for Medicaid and all appointments are covered. So it’s appointment for her from me. “ it sickness me people are trying to take advantage of disabilities!

Here's one thing I just found out: it is very hard to swim like a mermaid. But it is not completely impossible to accomplish.

I'm diagnosed Autism and ADHD

Question: anyone willing to share if during aba therapy if problems arise, as any neurological scans or test completed? If so what test were done … thank you Just looking if both qualitative and quantitative data are completed in aba

😮 I didn’t know this style of psychological method was being used (someone has access to all your wants) ! Coming from personal dependency issues , yeah I would ask for supporting or supplemental therapy to help your kid develop their own “self” and choices.

I think for you to say that this program is bad and not compare and contrast another program that parents can access is disappointing. You have parents just that want a relationship with their child. I am glad you have a great relationship with your child.why don’t you get your credentials to offer help to those parents that don’t like ABA.

Thank you for this. I have a similar pattern of achieving things on the outside that have gained me respect while secretly battling with mental health, suicidal thoughts, self harm and care of self and home. Everything I did was fueled by the desire to please others so I could be "good enough". Now I have been more honest about my struggles and stepping back from being what's expected of me and I feel others probably see that as a bad thing (like, "Now that she found out she's Autistic she's no longer making an effort. She's obviously capable. She just stopped trying."). It's hard to convey to people the high cost that comes with meeting those expectations.

It seems that Maggie no longer needs the leash and harness to deter eloping.

Lol at Maggie kaughing then just suddenly stopping and looking serious.

You are beautyful with your hair free ❤❤

Congratulations on the new job! I’d love to hear more about it

When you make these youtube videos are you masking?

They sound really interesting. For what you said about other headphones when I had on ears headphones they would start to hurt my ears after a while, I haven't had that issue with over ears headphones. For hurting your head, when I first got the headphones that I wear all the time I needed to put a layer in between because they felt like they were digging in (for around the house I just used a sweatband), that lasted for the first couple of months that I had them and now it will just show up occasionally and I put the layer in between again that day. Any in ear headphones I have had I start to be aware of them after a couple of hours, part of that is because one of my ears is a weird shape.

Just want to say hello👋🙂 and I hope everything is fine! Maybe I’ll get a pair of those headphones too! Thanks for sharing👍! Love you all and God bless✝️🙏🏻❤️🙂🌈!

Howdy happy kalloween
