My daughter is so much like Connor. Watching him when he was younger gives me hope about my daughter growing up and learning how to manage her traits better and how to make her more comfortable.

I was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD as a kid, but after working with kids on the spectrum I saw myself in them so much that I started to doubt my diagnoses…after getting evaluated recently as an adult, I was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD and they removed my ODD diagnosis. I love your videos and I see so much of myself as a child in Connor when he was young. I’m so glad you were able to get them all diagnosed early and get the right supports. They are lucky to have you as parents!

What's your point

[@EnriqueMartinezTrashTrucks]

@@meditogofilmproduction consequences if you do that

[@morganmuldoon]

​@EnriqueMartinezTrashTrucks autistic kids don't do these things to disobey, they don't need consequences.

[@EnriqueMartinezTrashTrucks]

@@morganmuldoon that’s true but they have to be careful

[@morganmuldoon]

@@EnriqueMartinezTrashTrucks right but they shouldn't get punished or have consequences for urges they can't control, that's why he just told them to stop it.
