Looking forward to this series! As a parent, I’ve really enjoyed your videos. Our speech therapists recommended your channel and my husband and I have learned so much! We will see a developmental specialist in December to start ruling things out for our almost 2 year old girl. We’ve heard that autism is a possibility. I would love a video from you about the difference you see/experience with autism and girls.

I love your channel and really appreciate this information. Given that this video is from 2 years ago, I understand the language you use here, but I hope that you’ll update this video to emphasize the strengths that autistic people have and remove terms like “scary” and “wrong” when referring to autism.

Thank you so, so much for making these videos available on KZbin!! My son has a significant speech delay (which I can now more confidently say is a speech delay and not autism, thanks to your videos) and just aged out of Early Intervention with no progress, thank you COVID. Especially in regards to his social behaviour it has been really, really difficult to tell if he is showing signs of autism, because he has not been able to interact with anyone outside of the immediate family during a very crucial part of his intervention and development (we live in a very high infection area, even now). The point that you make at 32:36 especially has been a worry for me because, being his primary caretaker, he does exactly as you say and of course shows all these "typical" behaviours with me, so it's lately very hard to say if he'll do these with anyone else. But you outlined every other point in a way that's so easy to understand (as opposed to a checklist, that from a parent's perspective we look at and go "yeah, but--" or "no, but--" and reach no conclusion) and really helped me to understand that my son very, very likely isn't autistic and I haven't been "failing" him by unintentionally ignoring any potential red flags. I've already watched your Teach Me To Talk upload (and made my husband watch it) and I will very much look forward to watching and utilizing other videos you may post in hopes of getting my son over his spoken language barrier.

Thank you so much for your videos! I think I’m seeing you in double towards the end..

omg, I thought it was just me! It was like a Laura ghost. :).

[@juliejefferson8197]

Excellent material once again, Laura! Thank you so much for this timely information. Lately, almost a day doesn't go by that one of my parents asks me about Autism. I am so glad to be armed with this information.

I just love your videos. So informative and helpful.

So my 5yr old son, he is listening to music so much during the day on his tablet. And if I take tht tablet to try to get him to eat or play with something else, well let’s just say it isn’t a good thing. And this happens every day, all day long. But he’s not only listening to it he dances. But he moves the same way each and every time. This isn’t the only thing that has really stuck in my mind now listening to this. I thought tht this was “normal “? I have been trying to get everyone to listen to me about these issues. They have put him on medication now for ADHD/ADD as of a month ago. I feel tht there are other problems. 😢

Do you have any tips on how to initially bring up this conversation with a parent for the first time? I feel like I might say it the wrong way and I know this is a very sensitive topic.

Recomend " the reason i jump" by Naoki higashida.. the inner voice of a thirteen year old boy with autism

[@sikititoga8795]

Ive really enjoyed the videos that have lot of grate information in understanding better.

[@ioanaopp7037]

Yeah. That's great but pretend play and playing with other kids is also age dependent.. children are starting with other kids between 31/2- 4 1/2

[@aminaathman3601]

Hi, I just came across your channel. Great stuff! I'd very mich like to get your autism workbook but as I live in Germany, shipping charges will be very costly. I was wondering if the book comes in a downloadable/ ebook form as well?

[@Alice-zj6lp]

You're amazing!

[@catpaws007]

What age is this most directed to?

[@TheBeckyOrtiz]

Not every child on the spectrum has difficulties with transitions or something new...

[@mattersfingers]

Yes mine is okay with change and transitions
