Does Autism "Go Away?"

Questions we often get often sound the same: "Do people grow out of autism? Does it go away after childhood? Is there a cure? etc." We explain our experiences with our 3 boys who are on the autism spectrum. Thank you!
Correction: I mentioned that Alistair didn't use to bang his head, but what I meant was he didn't use to bang his head in anger...it was just a stim when he was younger, but now it's gotten more violent. Sorry for the mistake.

If my autism would go away I'd be sad, sure it makes a bit of my life hard but it makes my singing, acting, arts computer knowledge better.

[@Zooxtry]

I feel like even if I could get rid of mine it would just be too late since I have all those years behind me where I grew up and learned with my autism. Basically that means if my autism were to go away I would be late on a ton of stuff.

[@pinkycherry5938]

This channel really helped me to understand my son... thank u so much .. blessings to u and ur family.

Autism goes away as offen as people born blind can see, it’s for ever, you just learn life skills to cope🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 if people say they ‘recovered’ from autism, happy for your change, it just ment you never had autism 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have an 11 years old boy.. He was non verbal for several years.. He speaks now, doesn steam, flap or rock back and fwd.. You can have small conversations with him overall he behaves very well.. my issue is that his mom had him most of the time. she took him out of the school for "home schooling" because she was scared of the bullies but now he doesn't have contact with anyone he doesn't have any type of therapy's anymore.. She says school make him feel bored and frustrated because he already knows what they are going to teach etc. And I know that if he had been taking therapy and socializing with other childrens he would be way more better than what he already is..

I hope you get somewhere with that especially since I have a friend with autism we no longer go to the same school. We’re both in high school I mean that we go to different schools in the same district not that we got completely separated. He lucky has mild autism so he only struggles with social skills. He doesn’t have problems with speech because it’s not severe and isn’t the best with eye contact but isn’t awful at that. I’m glad that they don’t struggle since fortunately we have Special Ed and a lot of stuff for kids so my friend isn’t behind. He’s not having problems and isn’t like dangerously behind with anything and is getting the help he needs to succeed. I really hope you can get there if you can if not get as far as you can with him before it’s too late.

[@HappyHoney41]

Maybe he can be put into a gifted program.

[@roshanpradeep4830]

Your story is so inspiring all 3 of your sons are with autism and your still confident and try to make them better my eldest son has autism and I’m worried about his future my youngest ok thank you for the video it gives me a lot hope ❤

[@ManasviSareen]

Your videos give us hope and understanding where we are and what are the issue with kids and what level of help they need.

[@ilovelolsurprise3419]

I have this. I sometimes cry cuz I feel like giving up. It’s not what u think.. i think I’m more on the anxiety and OCD side… true, i do get involved in clubs and stuff in school, but sometimes i don’t feel included and start to get antisocial in school, which is why I can be a nervous kid, self conscious, shy, quiet, but this is who I am, and part of a downside

[@donnanewby3386]

Autism never goes away or get better - some autistic people are able to mask their symptoms, but this takes it toll in the person's body - how would you feel to spend your whole life trying to pretend to be someone else, just to please other people.

[@loveycat5474]

Many people with autism are creative, smart, happy, and good at designing new products such as the personal computers. Why would we want this to go away.

It's definitely a problem, to some degree depending, but it's the parent's jobs and the world's job to make this place as comfortable as possible for them because they deserve to be happy and live fulfilling lives.

[@skie9140]

Noise cancelling headphones could help, stimming is okay, autism is okay, they are over stimulated which is what causes running away and such. If it's not hurting themself it's okay. Also, it's called masking and it's extremely tasking on the brain...it's not about improving it's fake (they are just trying to fit into an NT society that hate out of norm things) start talking to your kids and asking what is bothering and how you can reduce. Showers, tags, clothing, glasses, noises, lights, smells, temperature, and so much more can cause over stimulation.

[@denises3779]

It doesn't go away but with proper therapies it helps with the ticks and it helps autistic children and young adults communicate better. Also find out what they love and have them engage daily that helped my daughter.

[@jenniferferris44]

Make sure to avoid ABA a lot of us have trauma from it and any 'benefits' we it gave us didn't even last past middle school

[@donnanewby3386]

Stemming in autism helps the nervous system to self regulate - why would you want someone to stop doing this and get poorly, overwhelmed by sensory overload and have a meltdown instead?

[@markitzero12]

For me being a High Functioning Aspie it is more of adapting. With Church during Worship and when I am at place for Example like a ComicCon I have to have my headphones, for someone that is a not on the Spectrum I can describe is for me My brain will try to process every noise and every conversation going on in the whole room at once and the brain not able to filter out the junk sound waves so I use Headphones to use the Speaker diaphragm to reduce the noise and make one sound wave also what I experienced at Anaheim ComicCon when I was not talking or focusing my hearing was in a way boosting like when you don't talk in a mic on a Cellphone and the Cellphone will boost the Mic Gain . The stims as getting older I think can manifest in different ways for example like mechanical keyboard click so on my gaming rig I have a old IBM Model M keyboard on my laptop I have to use Opera GX to add mechanical keyboard sounds to the browser I have the one made to sound like a Fallout Terminal and my main stim is the leg Bounce but I do rock back and forth once in a while but I use my computer chair to do that. Even at the age 37 I still have sensitivity to loud Sound, some Taste like I can taste the difference in Milks because of the feed I am guess they give the cows and processing, some textures, and Some Smell.

I was wondering what makes autistic people happy? I have yet to see a lot of videos about that. What's it like for an autistic person when they have a good time, a joyful moment, or just does something fun? Also what does it take to make them comfortable, relaxed and at peace?

[@brettjames1992]

[@steflynn7772]

I’m just going to say no it doesn’t. But you can work on symptoms. I’m 50. It’s still there ten fold. But I started lyrica ( an anti convulsant) and it’s helping with some things. Night sweats my whole life, gone. Restless leg syndrome gone. Digestive issues getting better. One of my arms swings now!!!! Some other stuff too. When I do my B12 injections my stimming reduces greatly and so does my gait. Stimming is flushing cortisol out of the body. Meltdowns crying specifically flushes cortisol out of the body. Autism runs high cortisol. Autism is a neuro/physiological brain disorder. NOT A PSYCOLOGICAL DISORDER!!!’ Please don’t stop the hand flapping. It the body protecting the heart and fighting the cortisol.

I didn't grow out of autism, I just learned to hide it. At work, the first thing I'd do is make sure the chair I sat it would rock. If it didn't, I'd change chairs. That's how I'd get through meetings and my day. Tags in shirts are scratchy.

My next door neighbor's son acted exactly like this. His stepfather terribly verbally abused him. His stepfather left to work offshore and for three months. It was amazing that this young man acted totally normal and his hair grew back. Amazing that the symptoms stopped. As soon as he heard his father was returning , he immediately began acting autistic again. So, with this being said, is there such as a thing as environmental autism whereas an outside source could have caused his problem , and if that source is removed then the child returns to normal?

[@rozibektas143]

Hi there, I have a son who has Asperger’s syndrome. He was diagnosed with autisim age 5. I searched high and low and did everything including ABA , dietary changes and supplements. Yes we made progress but not we are going for stem cell threapy. We decided to have this procedure with stem cell institute in Panama established by Dr Neil Roodian. It’s not a cure but sure helps with managing the symptoms. I suggest anyone to check it out. Thanks

[@rozibektas143]

Hi there, returning back to give an update. Instead of going to Panama, we decided to go and have a treatment in Holland.. here is the link to the video where our doctor explains in details, the procedure he uses. I am forever, eternally grateful to Dr nills and his team. It’s been one month and two days and the changes in my son has been nothing but a sort of miracle. It’s almost like he is reborn again . For those who are considering an alternative treatment, please get in touch with Dr nills and his wonderful team who have made this journey and unforgettable one for all concerned . kzbin.info/www/bejne/bImQhJlrgMaJrrMsi=Ek--DliYOwV_4vFV
