Autism Evaluation for a 2 Year Old Girl With a Neurologist

[@kentsesesele3532]

Beautiful family. Great dad who is fully engaged.

[@thomasjarman7361]

When she was asked to give the big piece to the other kid she was startled when the Legos fell down. It’s incredible that she still remembered to grab the piece and put it back behind her towards the other kid.

[@tahirahmad782]

In my eyes and mind they are absolutely Normal children and very intelligent if I have those children I will never think of autism.

[@Livmylifelivi]

You have 2 older boys? I’ve only ever seen Rafael. I didn’t know you had another son. Is he grown?

[@rosa_frances6005]

Wym they only have Rafael right

[@renne5209]

Yes. He’s older (16+)

[@FoolyLiving]

Sorry, yes. He's an adult living on his own, and at the time of us making this channel, he was living in America and we were living in Israel.

[@philalfieri93]

Abigail does not seem to have autism to me. She does do some mimicking of her brother but that seems to be more of a display of empathy.

[@artisttjan]

lack of empathy in not necessarily a autism trait and it present differently in girls and woman as do most mental and physical illness.

[@raihazeeshan6636]

I have taken my son to a speech therapy session after seeing these videos it helped me but I am so late in identifying such things because my son is not talking much he is playing on his own most of time meltdowns is a regular thing Autism and delay speech is not the end of the world we can and will deal with it let people think what they want🙏

[@maachahisrael5224]

Hello, I am sorry to bother, but how old is your son please, we have just found out our son is none verbal, and we are crushed, he is two, it is so upsetting for my wife and I, and we are lost in a fog. If you have anything to teach us I would be more than overjoyed. My name is Mark

[@FoolyLiving]

Yes, it is definitely NOT a bad thing, and in a lot of ways its a gift. I appreciate your feedback - it is so true =)

I keep wanting to answer for Abigail. I just want to hug Abigail. I love that song A Yellow Submarine. Your Dinners are looking great. Andrea remember you are a GREAT MOMMY ❤️🌹.

She seems normal to me

[@searchstation]

Please someone help me. My daughter is two year old. She somtimes does things in a proper way but some days she is very irritating as if something is wrong according to her which she does not like. She plays with us like any orher normal child. She wants to play with other kids. She has proper eye contact i mean if we try to talk. She responds to her name. But the main thing she does not say her name yet. She says a lot of words like : daddy , mommy, mumma, and all what she likes to eat but does not frame two words in a sentence except she says comb hair , brush teeth, wash hands thats it. She knows what danger is she does not do anything dangerous. But she is not scared of thing except the sound of mixer grinder or hair dryer. She knows all the abcs 123s which is again a red flag but she also knows body parts. Immitate rhymes completely. Intrested in her gifts to open them. Plays hide and seek

[@ImInLoveWithAllocos]

What seems to be the problem ? She sounds so much better than my 2 y.o who is constantly throwing tantrums, cant say any 2 words together and avoid kisses at every cost.

[@heidigodfrey-tunno4041]

Omg she’s so pretty

[@chidinmaagodu4663]

Hello how is ur daughter now, is she talking now

[@xfifina]

Yes! She talks really well, watch their latest videos

[@ashleyboen8789]

I’m starting to think that I carry the gene and my oldest at 2, is not talking and she doesn’t really like to play with her younger sister, her emotions are hard to control, also my 1 year old, there isn’t any huge signs but she is completely different than her bigger sister, only thing is she isn’t walking or talking yet so we will see within the next year

[@FoolyLiving]

There are a lot of factors for someone having autism, but in my case and my family's situation, all my kids have autism because of genetics. There are also environmental factors to consider for cause, but genetics in our case. We were invited to join a study for mothers with multiple children diagnosed with autism. Abigail was not diagnosed here, she was considered inconclusive and to bring her back for evaluation later on. She was diagnosed later on in America at a little bit older age. It is harder for girls to get a diagnoses because they mask VERY well unless they are on the more severe side of the spectrum. In our case, because I was diagnosed with EDS, the EDS gene also causes mothers to pass autism to their kids. Very highly likely from the study we were in that EDS genes share autism genes and that is why all my kids have autism (even my older son that has a different father than my two youngest).

[@ashleyboen8789]

@@FoolyLiving yes, it’s something that’s been heavy on my mind, thinking that it’s something I’m doing wrong, or it’s something I just can’t control. I’ve decided I shouldn’t have any more kids for that reason because I don’t know the answer as to why my kids are showing signs and is put as high risk for autism, I do however think that our spectrum can be helped alot of commonalities in other families children that are going through this as well. When I saw this video it made me understand more that my child could be perfectly fine and that she’s just having a hard time expressing herself not being able to talk. I hope to see my children start picking up their communication, because it’s something I’ve been praying about for a while now, seeing your daughter talk and being able to handle her energy is something that I hope my oldest will be hopefully very soon

[@e.d.m6681]

I love the intro ❤️

[@hannahleesbrain]

Can you tell me exactly how old your daughter was? Was she exactly 24 months at this time?

[@ducatirider7]

Also wondering this, my daughter is also getting tested and she not quite advantaged as your daughter

[@alexandraaronson1672]

I didn't know you had 2 children with autism I have just seen Rafael

The stupidest comment ever. How does autism looks like LMAO

[@alexandraaronson1672]

I have a cousin with Aspergers

[@FoolyLiving]

To answer your other question, all three of my kids have Autism (Aspergers) it's actually pretty cool when you talk to someone with Aspergers because they will teach you things you didn't know about - and everything about those things heheh.

[@alexandraaronson1672]

@@FoolyLiving There is another family on KZbin, Autism Family, they too, have three children with autism and Aspergers, ASD. Have you heard of them? You have beautiful children and you and your husband are great, loving, caring parents. I love your encouragement for the children when they are frustrated with something. You don't let them give up.

[@mom2kas]

wow that looks so privative for a health care facility!

[@concertmasterntl]

Really? It’s Israel. They have some of the most advanced healthcare in the world. Maybe you’re just not used to the scenery/setting?

[@azimabaipaezu9954]

My 11 year old brother has autism and my 21 year old cousin has autism

[@Brooke-bl3yq]

3 in my family, possibly 4. To me, this little girl seems perfectly fine, that is only my opinion.

[@albanl.9629]

I would recommend to leave the kids alone! As long as insurances pay there will be an increasing number of autistic level one babies! To me all this is just hard to believe

[@BlakeBradley-q4w]

Dear friend, I saw the video you shared and was touched and deeply understand your hard work and dedication. I would like to tell you that we have a series of products specially designed for children with autism, which can help them improve their social, cognitive and perceptual skills. If you are interested in working with us to promote these products, we can work together to bring hope and help to more families. Looking forward to your reply, thank you!😘

[@martinemikita9281]

Couple things I see right out the gate... as soon as u enter the facility u allow her to do what she wants in there... its not her room, she's not at home... That is a parenting issue... I own a daycare and the parents who cannot teach children basic respect by NOT climbing on the furniture... I turn away. I don't turn them away as a mean gesture but children have to be taught to behave out in public... So what this tells me is that the parents are unable to control their children amd are relying on me to teach them BASIC principles... that's not my job. I also know if there are behavior issues in my center the parents will dismiss what I say because they don't care in a public setting so I know they won't care at home or in my center. I understand she's being evaluated but the waiting room is for the public not for evaluation.

[@FoolyLiving]

You shouldnt work with small children if you believe they should be adults and you are judging them and their parents. That's just simple truth. Re-evaluate.

[@tangowhiskygirl]

The waiting room is clearly designed to make children feel welcome and comfortable. The fact that a 2 year old climed on a colorful sofa is not a parenting problem. The fact that someone who cares for children has this kind of attitude is a big problem though.

[@instinctivejudgement]

I believe if this is your view then you shouldn't be working with children. Young kids are still trying to understand how the world works and trying to learn how to regulate their emotions. To expect a 2 year old to "behave" in public is ridiculous. They are not little robots.
