It was like I was hearing my story being told. From his being the easiest labor and delivery of all my children, to being a second son in over 3 generations of only one son, to him wandering off and going missing, to him being so incredibly handsome. The only difference is I suspected early and he is getting early intervention, ABA, occupational and speech therapy. He is presently non-verbal and this video has encouraged me further in my faith that he would speak coherently in Jesus name, Amen. Your mom is a strong beautiful woman. More blessings in Jesus name.

[@EsteeOkeke]

Yes, autism can be properly managed when it is diagnosed early. Diet also helps. You really need a whole lot of money for that. I'm talking from family's experience. Little Boy was diagnosed with ASD when he was a year old. Before he talked, it was only prayer. They had to get a private tutor for him to teach him things ranging from basic home activities to school activities. He also had a special diet different from the family's, that is, no artificial food, not even sugar or spicy in foods. He has been on natural food till date. He will be 6yrs this year and I must say, he is always among the best in his class which is not even a special school May God continue to strengthen you and your family ma, AMEN!

[@margaretuk2320]

OMG your mum is discribing your brother as my son. I live in London with my only son and two daughters. My son is in his early twenties living with Autism. Thank you for sharing that story,i cried but happy tears because your mum mentioned things that made me a stronger mum to my handsome young man. God bless always. Beautiful Mum you have.

[@bomsysspot]

Oh! Nigeria medical system I weep. They almost killed me during pregnancy, even told me my son didn’t have balls, as a first time mum thinking and fear were my everyday reality until I travelled out and they showed me how perfect my child was,that was when my peace came back. I genuinely pray that for those who decide to remain back in this nigeria will not be victims of our careless health system. Mummy Ada Godbless you for keeping your faith alive.

i came to america at the age of 8 i am now 34 living in Virginia, all my family are here. God bless my grandmother for bring us all here, we go to ghana sometimes but with the knowledge ive accqured here about children sometimes i was i can go around villages and small towns in ghana to help mothers on certain things about children and not blame everything on witchcraft. at time i dont blame them so much with that mind set about certain behavior because thats how they were raise. for example growing up i never saw a special need child i didnt even think such children existed in ghana because they were hidden. for example after giving birth some women go thru post partum but in the small towns and villages help is not there. Mama God bless you for sharing your story. Ive learn alot growin up being a wife and a mother to 3 kids and i always PRAISE our MOTHERS AROUND THE WORLD

[@deinstar2884]

Thank you so much @adaeze for bringing your lovely mum to share her experience with us. I love her frankness and words of advice. Handling a child with autism is difficult even abroad however there are facilities and caregivers provided for them in their system; they have a support system so it comes of much easier than it is here in Nigeria but certainly not without challenges! Children with autism can do so many things including cooking, painting, clean up etc! They should never be hidden or excluded from everyday life it society just like mama has adviced. God bless you and your dear mum for sharing with us🥰

Thank you Adaeze. I really enjoyed every bit of this interview and didn't want it to end. I was excited to hear that there will be a part two. Autism is very common here in the UK. There are good schools and support for parents. In fact the government pay parents of autistic children to look after them and even provide brand new cars, respite and suitable accommodation to them as part of the support process. Your family especially your mum is an inspiration to have taken care of this child in a Nigeria setting where these supports are not available. May God reward all ur efforts 👏👏👏

God bless you mummy. Hv not watch video in a while now,but when grace sent me this video,l just had to watch. Sometimes ,people dont understand, They think you are not prayerful Or you are not doing enough,or they will share millionsof prayer links with you,which make me really sad honestly. This day's l just have to concentrate on my son,the stress is real,but l belief God will come through for me,doing my best, and therapy

[@amysalako5627]

Wow so emotional, God bless you mommy, mommy said she went to the hospital and the next day it disappeared. That is God showing himself and reminding you that I see you. God has given you the strength and will continue to give you the strength. So sad there is no one or board in Nigeria to hold accountable for the negligence of the hospitals. I had twin boys 10 years ago. Twin B was born with down symptom and also on the autism spectrum and that’s how God reminded me He is with me. It has been God all the way. He is meeting his milestone slowly but surely. Adaeze well done sis 🙌😍🥰💕 you are a great big sister. I know how awesome my older daughter and his twin brother care and love him. They do enjoy the pet names a lot 🤣for that reason I hardly call him by his name.

It's so sad that Nigeria's medical negligence and mistakes has affected a lot of people without them knowing it. I guess the baby was suffering from severe milk allergy that the doctors couldn't diagnose. All these could have been prevented if the doctors knew what they were doing. Who knew if it was the injection they gave him that caused damages that led to his autism diagnoses? May God help us all. Nigeria medical system is a jungle. So sad.

[@Keesha]

Thanks so much for sharing! Unfortunately diagnosis of ASD still has a long way to go even in developed countries. I too received a late diagnosis for my son in NYC. As an educator though I hope to see a move towards all classrooms being inclusive of kids with ASD so parents don’t have to struggle with the extra costs. Teachers just need to be trained with a small toolkit of skills that actually benefit all learners- not just kids with special needs. And mummy is right… early intervention makes all the difference. A friend of mine was able to get a diagnosis for her daughter at 2 and got her early intervention and now at 11 her daughter is so good with her social and emotional awareness and everything. Blessings to you and mum for sharing ❤️

[@user-tr8nm4vb8k]

I got so captivated by this video for so many reasons. Mama at this age is a born again who understands speaking the scriptures over every circumstance, chai! May God preserve your salvation. Another reason is mentioning one of my lecturers in medical school, Dr Ulasi; and of course the renowned cardiothoracic surgeon of UNTH, Dr Ahaji. Finally ASD; I can completely relate bcos I have kids with similar diagnosis. Mine is a bit different bcos both achieved walking earlier than their mates, but the abnormal behaviours and speech gave the alert. Indeed they are so pretty. In my number of years in the medical school, I heard ASD but never saw a case. I love the part mama said speak the scriptures over them, this I do without ceasing. Indeed Elroi never sleeps nor slumbers.
