DAY IN THE LIFE OF MY AUTISTIC 5 YEAR OLD | NON-VERBAL AUTISM

[@SweetSugarKandy]

I have an autistic 6 year old, an autistic 5 year old and a 10 month old. This made me feel so so so seen. Thanks for making this!

[@Michaelplayz66]

I loved watching the day in the life of Gavin! He is becoming more independent each day and is doing so well. Way to go mom and dad! 😊 Thanks for sharing.

[@tayciampa740]

I have a nonverbal 6 yr old. I would die to have one conversation with him 🤕 thank you for making me feel less alone on one of my bad days.

[@rachelosborne5982]

My son's is 5.5 and I have heard twice back to back "love you" when he was 2. When he was 4 said, "go away!", and no a few times. He has also said momma a few times.

Hi from Sydney, Australia.I ❤ your channel. you're a great mum. I'm autistic and dyslexic with server OCD. I was serverly autistic as a child and non verbal. I repeated years one and two and didn't speak till 9.I was forced to do abusive ABA in the 90s. Where you're forced to sit still and punished cause I couldn't speak. It was because I couldn't work out how to breathe in enough to form words. Your kids are beautiful. You're doing a great job, u and dad. My advice is that when it's time to try getting them to read, put a piece of paper under every sentence. It helps a lot to focus on the line that's being read.I have one son with server ADHD and a disability that when he eats his body doesn't tell him his full. He will eat till his sick and always hungry. One child's hard 3 omg women you deserve a medal.

You are such a good mum, my oldest son is nearly 5 and he is non verbal (so far) I am learning as I go and I am a single dad with Otis and his little brother Eli who has just turned 2. It’s nice to see how full of life he is, he is so similar to my boy, the tablet would be glued to his face if I let him 😂 he is very sensory too (especially with peoples hair) I do worry a lot about where he will be in 5-10 years time as the thought of him being non verbal forever at this stage really scares me. I guess it’s just taking things one day at a time and not really thinking about that far ahead, he is receiving lots of help and it really was nice watching this and seeing how well you and your husband deals with the situation. Thank you

[@braynhilton5300]

Thanks to everyone taking their time to read this testimony on how my son was saved from Autism. He was diagnosed four years ago, and he's just 6, I have tried several treatments and medications, nothing was working out, this got me frustrated and depressed. I kept praying and finally God answered my prayers when someone from youtube introduced me to this doctor from his home country and gave me his contact details. I called and explained my son's condition after which I made an order for his herbal remedy, he asked for my address and the next day I got a tracking number for a parcel sent to me through DHL and after four days I received my order. It was a liquid herbal medicine and a letter containing the instructions on how to use the herbs, I called him again to confirm and the next morning I started giving my son the herbs as instructed and after one week I noticed great improvement on my son and I continued until the herbs got finished and everything lasted for just one month and now my son is totally free from Autism, he can now talk clearly, behave normally and has no more seizures.

My son was diagnosed when he turned two in may. I came across this video while looking for info. Btw he is the cutest but I am also curious was type they diagnosed him with? I’m really struggling with my son not being about to tell me what he needs or wants. My son was diagnosed with type 2 but he only says baby and uh oh very rarely but babbles all day long

[@___Anakin.Skywalker]

My son was diagnosed moderate or type 2. I put him in OT eventhough it takes all the money in the family I don't care. I live with the sacrifices because I want to see my little pinocchio become a real boy someday.

[@lynneabob6419]

Cute. I have a son who just turned 5 in January, he also has autism. His hours are so messed up we had it going then messed up again. Being up late then sleep most of the day

[@PfaffFive]

I know the feeling, anything you can do to keep him awake during the day so he gets back to sleeping at night?

[@lynneabob6419]

We try keep him awake, even if he goes to sleep about 9 or 11, he’ll only put it as a nap which he doesn’t really do during day. Then he’d stay up all night. Whatever we try do to fix it, it’s hard

[@lynneabob6419]

About 4 months ago it was finally confirmed he was diagnosed with autism and mild.

[@taposherabeya7857]

My son is 5 and exactly like this, I will always assume and I don’t know the future he will Be a quiet man but does your son say more words now? So desperate at times x

[@PfaffFive]

Hi. Yes, he says many words and asks for thing independently! A lot of 2-3 word phrases and mainly requesting food items😃

Hi. Yes, he’s 8 now! Gavin is doing so good verbalizing his wants and needs. He has a lot of approximations to many worlds that we are able to understand!

Does nonverbal always mean autism? My niece is told her 5yr old doesn't have autism

[@PfaffFive]

I’m not sure about that, I have a cousin too who didn’t talk till he was 7 yrs old and never got diagnosed with autism. He’s older now and talks just fine🙂

I finished ABA and the other stuff yes I am autistic and dyslexic and I hide my autism on school

[@PfaffFive]

Hi! Do you feel you need to hide your Autism?

[@carpetstick]

@@PfaffFive I know this isn't my comment but wanted to give some input as a fellow autistic; a lot of people "mask" their autism, and try to act more neurotypical, usually because they've been taught that the way they behave or act isn't socially acceptable. Masking is a really damaging thing (I've done it my entire life pretty much, still struggling to unmask and to really figure out who I am because of it), so making sure your kids are comfortable being who they are, allowing them to stim and pursue their interests and hobbies without being judgemental or anything like that would be ideal. Also wanted to mention that the principals behind ABA are to pretty much train the autism out of the autistic (which is not possible, since autism is a neurological difference in the brain. An autistic brain's hard wiring cannot be trained to become neurotypical!) I'm not the most educated in the subject, but I would recommend you check out people like Paige Layle and other autistics' informed thoughts about it (there are plenty of people who have gone through the supposed good ABA and have talked about their traumas and later struggles because of it). Anyway, sorry for the ramble, I hope you're doing well.

[@zuloee]

Y is he still drinking out of a sippy cup

[@Leslie_ann_h]

Some kids that are on the spectrum have a tendency of throwing or dropping things either purposely or or accidentally when stimming. I still drink out of a "sippy" cup (non-leak/reduced leak) sports type cup/bottle due to some other issues and I'm over 30, and quite frankly sippy cups are just cheaper than the sports bottles that are sold in the water bottle section.

[@zuloee]

@@Leslie_ann_h oh ok but how old r u

[@Leslie_ann_h]

@@zuloee like, you did read the comment, right? I did say that I am older than 30........ I think that should explain things...... but the point is is that some people who have some issues with hand control such as their grip and tremors benefit from using sippy cup like drink containers that are either leak proof or leak resistant and also break proof/resistant so that should one drop or accidentally throw (like I often do) don't end up having to pick up a broken cup and/or clean up a liquid spill. However, my point is is that sippy cup like cups are not just useful for those who are getting off of bottles as plenty of people who find them useful are too afraid of the stigma of someone wondering why the hell they are using something that is useful for them even though it is made for children but with me, I have learned to not only ignore that stigma but also educate others about things like this.

[@PfaffFive]

thank you for replying to this comment. You are right, Gavin doesn't have the best hand strength so he does drop his cups frequently. That's why he has a sippy :)
