I am a 14 year old girl with autism, and its so surreal to see the difference between boys and girls with autism (before you come at me, I’m aware all kids with ASD are different, I wasn’t even diagnosed until age 12) I am the star student in my math class, and I love numbers too! I vividly remember making an entire personality guide for each number (1-18) However, my special interest is the Gerudo tribe from Zelda, and I took the time to learn an ENTIRE FICTIONAL LANGUAGE just because its my special interest. I bet Sawyer loves to tell all about his numbers, just like I could tell you anything about the Gerudo Tribe! Sarqso! Sav’orq!

[@SIeepz_]

Omg I love Zelda too

[@user-bd9ku3hp8k]

Zelda amazing

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

I really can’t get over how far sawyer has come, not only since you moved but just in the last year alone. He’s just blossomed. His vocabulary is absolutely amazing! I’m so glad you ended up getting him some headphones, it seems to have made the world of difference to his sensory overload issues when out & about. He really is a charming young boy, & I have no doubt in my mind in the years to come he will continue to blossom into a wonderful young man. Did you ever get answers for the school Griffin had that accident at? The school Sawyer is now at? How is Griffin getting on now? As I know things have changed for him too! And your youngest? How is her speech coming along? All the best :) love your nails by the way, very pretty!

[@maasdiner]

sawyer is super gifted that is such an amazing gift to have!

[@miriamkling3346]

I love to hear about your children's progress. Thank you for sharing.

[@NotSatya2010]

Sawyer has done so much better

[@albussnape2]

Sawyer’s progress is so impressive! I still love hearing him speak! Hope one day to have a vlog with Wyn, and one with Harrison! ❤ to all 😊

[@teresabowden6165]

Sawyer is a very smart and handsome little boy. You and Will are wonderful parents to all your children, Sawyer has come a long way.

[@user-yn1yu9le2f]

I have watched you fir a long time and I am autistic my self and im in 7th grade and I can only remember my 7 times tables and 8 times tables up until 3 and his maths surprises me so much I l love him I also have ADHD as well me and sawyer are part of the audhd community 🥳

[@theiasadventures6920]

I am 9 years old and I just got diagnosed with autism and adhd and it is so nice seeing other people who have autism and adhd

[@MiranLyrics]

Same, but I'm 11. 😊

[@LilyDavies-el8cn]

Same i have autism and adhd and I’m 9

[@Gonkygong]

Don't share your ages online like this, you may end up being hurt by adults and older teens who look for kids online to harm

[@elfstarsaka]

My son is like a mix of Griffin and Sawyer - he has Griffin's mischief but he loves letters and numbers like Sawyer does. (And yes, he is exhausting lol)

[@valerielowery5453]

Awesome to see how Sawyer is doing!! ❤️🙏🏻 Love the day in the life.

[@rachelnelson3923]

My son is 7 with autism and ADHD as well. I wish he loved math but he hates doing the work. He learned every country and their flag and capital and was working on regions, states and territories then all of a sudden he was over it and obsessed with birds. He has since moved on to fruits and vegetables. 😂 He has so many capabilities but you can’t push him to do anything he doesn’t want to do or he shuts it down. I’m convinced he’s part cat( his favorite animal)😂

[@leafylinnea2074]

Man I wish I had accommodation like that. I would just wiggle around and cry in my desk. I didn’t have a diagnosis so at school everyone just thought I was a sensitive odd kid even though something was definitely different in my brain.

[@leafylinnea2074]

@shitukabir1635 sorry i don’t think i understand what you were trying to say

[@AnimalLover-ic8kj]

Sawyer has grow so much!!! I remember when he wouldn’t even respond to you and now he is ❤ great job sawyer

[@thats_justanna22]

Sawyer has came so far! You can see how much he has grown. I also have ADHD but I am 12. He is super charming and cute. His vocabulary is so good. And Sawyers math skills are very impressive. I can tell he will get far into the future! He is a little solder! ❤️❤️❤️

[@elleb7523]

How are you and Will doing? I love hearing kid updates but I also am a cheerleader for you two. I can see in your faces how hard it can be for you guys too

He’s doing so well guys! You’re a superstar numbers guy Sawyer!! The kids at my school inAustralia like Number Blocks too! He’s so healthy Emily he looks great.I think he’s eating well it’s not easy when there’s sensory issues and his diet is pretty good! He’s an awesome kid. And you guys are great

I take melatonin too, its vital or il get no sleep, one nighr i forgot to take it and i was up all night, and night my legs fill with energy so i always take talkes when i need in my room

[@raymondguido5780]

sawyer has come so fare good job

[@jociir2650]

My son takes Guanfacine as well and it’s helped a lot. He tells me his mind is more clear and he can think better. Also guanfacine isn’t recommended to take melatonin with

[@beautifulvictory9683]

Curious: Protein seems low? What about getting a mini Dash waffle maker & get Kodiak batter? Protein bars for kids? Protein drinks? Make Cottage cheese ice cream?

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

@Bee-gl2dy Yes, Emily has said on many, many occasions that Sawyer just won’t eat new foods, he would rather starve himself & that worries her greatly, she’d rather he eats, & I believe she spoke to his Drs who agree that although it’s best to keep trying, don’t deprive him & just keep giving him his safe foods. I did wonder though if he would try a little scrambled egg mixed through his rice, for the protein element? However, i do watch some family channels on here with adults who have autism who are now fantastic eaters & often try new foods, they make a game out of it & love it! Sawyer is still little! He may grow to be a little more adventurous :) x

[@tanagiberson4770]

he would be able to taste the difference

[@KimIlSung84]

@Bee-gl2dysince you worked with them why did he take the medicine through a syringe? Just curious

[@user-zj6yh7oc2p]

Hi I am new to your channel. I think Sawyer has amazing skills and he might be super successful in life. I have a 2 yo daughter who says about 100 words but she is still far behind her speaking milestones. Did your boy have any speech delay? When did he start talking?

[@YPSNagid]

I wonder if he drew 96 because three numbers are opposites (upside down from the other). I have Hyperacusis and remember you mentioned the brand of the hearing protection in another video but I don’t remember. Could you provide the name again? Thank you.

[@Ben-hg4dl]

This is awesome . How did you get speech therapy ? is it through private insurance or at school ? what about the music therapy ?

[@OneRandomDragonLover]

I have autism too, and unlike Sawyer, I absolutely DETEST being touched for any reason AT ALL. Haircuts, tapping my shoulder to get my attention, the list goes on and I hate all of it. The only people who are allowed to touch me at all are some family or very close friends. The only time I opt for being touched is when I hold my mum's hand when we go out of the house. I also hate being looked at by most people. I hate it when they watch what I'm doing, when they look at me during and after asking a question, that list can go on forever as well.

[@M.Equines]

I have Autism and ADHD u came up on my fyp I’m now obbssesed everyone ik with autism is AMAZING at maths I suck lol 😂 love yall ❤

[@blo1314]

Im glad guanfacine works for you guys it made things worse for us...little scary. I love, love, love that he is so verbal!

His pj's are so cute 🥰 lol😊

[@caitlynmarks2680]

Question for you with the toe walking did you ever think of anything gut related i was toe walking when i was little and about 10 years ago i got diagnosed with celiac disease which means I can’t have gluten. Just a thought

[@DogLover1718]

Does he choose to wear the ear defenders all day I only wear mine when it’s to noisy

[@nathanjw940]

Honestly I think part of why autistic kids like math it's a fact. I like work with clear policies to follow grey areas are confusing and I always get it wrong. Math has the same process and it doesn't change. Writing was tough because my thoughts were mine and who's to say that art is bad vs good. I can write a research paper but creative writing was very difficult to get started.

Maybe u should try a reward system every time he tries a new food and if he likes McDonald’s see if he’ll like frozen chips and microwave burgers also a shop in my town do a fake McDonald’s meals and I’m also picky with food trying to figure out what I like

[@tays_rep]

That won't work if he doesnt like the food then he literally CANT eat it. He's not just being stubborn.

[@Noura0919]

Your lucky at least he likes blueberries which has a little of good antioxidants

What music do you use

[@Hollie_bradley17]

my friend has autism and i have nystagmus syndrome and my ears are very sensitive and we wear ear defenders at party's i may not have autism or anything but i do have very sensitive hearing so basically when a microphone squeaks and hurts your ears think of that but with every loud noise sometimes im not as sensitive but other times i am and my friend he has autism and he doesn't like loud music so he wears his ear defenders at a party or even in his house because he has a younger sister that scrams all the time and he doesn't like it

[@Hollie_bradley17]

@shitukabir1635 are u a bot because that makes no sense

[@Castle._.A]

I think having a disability is being just like a superhero!!❤

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Disability doesn’t need to have any negative connotations :) It is a disability in the sense of Sawyer needing additional help & guidance, so he gets the right support for him. It’s a misconception that just because the word disability has been used, that it equates to something negative.

[@jociir2650]

There is nothing wrong with the word disability !

[@lolalre]

just like the other replies said, there's nothing wrong or negative about the word *disability*

It is a disability. There's nothing wrong with that.

Have you heard of gluten sensitivity and casein sensitivity? My son is allergic to these and our doctor said it makes his autism symptoms worse. So she’s recommending we start a gluten and casein free diet. We are at a loss because that’s all he eats. But our doctor said that a lot of children with autism have these allergies. I was curious if your child has ever been tested to see if he has gluten and casein sensitivity.
