Thank you for your video Mary, I appreciate it so much as yesterday was a bad day for me. My son, Alex is in early intervention and was told that he has autism and they believe it to be moderate. He is 25 months old. Now this is not an official diagnosis as this was a developmental interventionist and speech therapist who told me that he would be diagnosed as such. I’m on a long wait list to get that diagnosis. I was told by the speech therapist that my son will remain at a moderate level and he will never progress from that which was a bombshell to me. She also said he will most likely only have a functional job such as at Walmart but probably won’t go to school beyond high school. This saddened me so much. I accept my son as autistic because I understand that is how his brain is wired but I intend to seek intensive ABA therapy so that he may progress because I do have hope that he will excel. I’m not too concerned about the behavioral aspect since he sleeps well, doesn’t have gastrointestinal issues, and he does stink by rocking back and forth and flapping his hands occasionally but nothing that I’m too concerned about. It’s the fact that he’s nonverbal that saddens me which is why I want that side of him to blossom! I’ll be checking out your workshop. Thank you for the video!

Yep, I look back at 2 and 3 years old when I wwould think to myself how satisfied and neat my daughter my daughter was and that we dodged a bullet by her not having severe autism and it was just a little bump in the road....i could kick myself for being so naive and content I was at the time. Now, my daughter is 5 years old. She isn't potty trained. She doesn't speak unless she wants to but it's only one word and never a formal sentence. She has a helmet now because she started bashing her head on whatever surface she could find. She hits and kicks everybody else but me...but just the other day she punched and slapped me in the face. So that " sanctuary" is slowly fading away and adding one more issue to my already huge pile of daily issues lol There's no amount of words, hugs, cuddles, rocking, or attempting to soothe her and tell her she's going to be alright when shes upset and has a meltdown. I am nothing special to her and I don't stand out in a line up or group of people. I know I sound selfish because shes the one with more challenges in her life than usual. I would do anything to experience what it's like and how it makes you feel inside. Just once....then I can die a happy old woman.

Now he is four and has been treated by psycologists as if he was just a shy kid with selective mutism. The problem is that now (he is four now) things got really out of control. Sometimes me and my husband even cry when we see our son going through so much pain. Well now that things got out of control the doctors finally believe us and he is gonna start ABA intervention here in Brazil.

20 years experience as an SLP, I find it very difficult to believe psychologists cannot establish predictors for distinct outcomes (e.g. symbolic play abilities, echolalia vs. Non-verbal child). Accurate description severity at dx has critical implications for academic placement. If a child is severe, he really better be severe. Child better not be mildly affected in a small ratio class.

They can not predict very well. They kept saying they were 100% sure my son was autistic, but that under age 6 it was too early putting it in writing. So they kept writing " traits compatible with" because this is Europe and the therapy is payed for by universal healthcare aka the taxpayer. If the diagnosis isn't scary enough, you do not get public funded treatment. They could have refused to scare us parents like that though. My son was non verbal at age 4. He is 7 now, won't shut up, in 2nd grade, no autistic traits, good grades, friends, everything. Delays can just be delays. "Reverse early signs of autism" is offensive to families with autistic kids. If they can be reversed the kids were not autistic to begin with. It is called overdiagnosing.

@kathrinscharrer3923 Жыл бұрын
@@bolanleabiose5248 From what I have learned signs at that age are similar for lots of different issues. My son is not so good with eye contact. Then the biggest issue was lack of speech. The people who worked with him always thought he wasn't autistic, but the people that mattered, that came for an half-hour-evaluation and signed the important stuff, said he didn't speak because he was not interested in social interaction ( for them not playing adult professions and tea party means not being interested, I know this because my older son was the same way, only he talked so they left him alone) . The logopedics said he had peculiar social interaction because he couldn't talk. More a dispraxia thing. Once he learned how to talk his interaction was quite normal. His ( very normal) dinosaur fase was described as " restricted interest" tipical in autism. Me: same fase at the same age as his brother. Why did she think we had so many dinosaurs? My advice: take your son everywhere they tell you, but do not fall into the trap of not enjoying your child, or of letting them tell you that his improvement depends on you turning into a therapist. A mother is a mother and a father is a father and that is something to enjoy and be proud of regardless of clinical considerations. Do not let society intimidate you with what your child should be able to do at what age. I have seen more than one of the " perfect" girls, the ones that talk early, stop using diapers at age 2 ( my son stopped at age 5, and during the night he still needs them) and sit quiet in class and do all sheets in class perfectly and want to please adults turn into control freak anorexic young women, and one of them almost died. Doing everything everyone expects from you can harm more than being different. Our job is to make our children strong so they can deal with other peoples expectations without suffering. And that goes for all people, neurotipical or not. Much love from Madrid.

It is not preventable or irreversible no. You can only help them reach their best potential by early detection and intervention .. there is no promises that your child will eventually be the same as others their age, even with intense therapy. But giving them all the help support and love that they need and maybe a little extra, will make the biggest difference. Accept them for who they are , embrace them for the person they are, and never feel shame or unaccepting of their difficulties. No body gets to pic the cards that are dealt, make the most of what was dealt to you, or you will live a life of constant sorrow wishing things were different.
