Will your autistic children be leading it? If not, I'm not interested. They know what's happening in their brains. You only know how it affects you, and respectively, that is not helpful to us autistic people.

[@yushi911]

My son was diagnosed at 3 to be on the spectrum. We wasn’t verbal until 3.5. I definitely understand the concerns and all the questions parents can get. Unfortunately, in Quebec (Canada) the specialists doesn’t give a classification as part of their diagnosis. We were being told that our son son autism is “too mild” to get any public services. He isn’t mild, he scores all the typical autistic behaviour: never respond to his name, like lighting up , flapping, hate loud crowds and sounds, food texture was a huge problem, hyposensitivity, none verbal, play in parallel, etc. But the public services is limited so they just serve the super autistic. Knowing that, we start with the private sector: speech therapy, ergo for food texture, phychoeducator, physiology, etc, etc. I am a working mom. I had no life. I was too busy to be depressed. With all the specialists, we made a plan and goal weekly and adjust them according to my son’s responding and progression. My husband was very involved and without telling me he resigned and took a new job but closer to our house. I had an agenda fill with specialist meeting and reviews. Our psychoeducator even visit our son at his daycare and tech him how to play with other kids and not in parallel. I was lucky coz my daycare has a speech therapist services as there other kids who needs the services. And fortunately our insurance cover partially the cost. We were told to be prepared to send our son to a special needs school. All I want, it was a normal life. All our free time we spend it with him and we were welling to go at any kids party as my son has. O sibling, we really want to help him socialize. A miracle happen. If all the specialists praise our efforts, i believe we only help ou son to develop his capacities…he still on the spectrum. At 4 years, he is fluent in English(daycare) and French(home). He is gifted in art, science, history and mathematics. At 6 years, he start reading a lot of books by himself. As people say, autistic people has only one interest. It kind apply to him also. He loves dinosaurs, so he learns from books and youtube all ….but ALL about them and their era. How tall, weight, food, forces, etc. He can speak about them every day for 6 months. When he done and he has nothing more to learn, he finds a new subject of interesting: animals, Minecraft, world war 2, etc. He is 9 years and knows more things than me ( i am an engineer)… Fortunely, he likes to have friends but doesn’t know how to interact with them. That’s were I help him. We build a tree house with climbing net, the kids say it’s our street coolest thing. He has a lot of friends coming and spending all day climbing outside and improving the project. I would never know my son’s autistic level, but i will always be there for him.

That's so amazing to hear. I am in Ontario and I can understand the hesitancy of doctors giving autism diagnosis since it requires the govt to provide financial assistance. At what age your son started saying few words and when did he join mainstream school?

Ezra still isn’t talking, and we have him doing full-time ABA at home. Simon has started saying if a few words now and he is three, he is just starting preschool, it is an all autism preschool.

[@user-zj6yh7oc2p]

@@7Aheadfamily I hope Ezra finds a way to communicate. Simon is doing really well. He is very stable in a long journey too. I can understand we become very impatient at times when we see they don't progress like other kids but I have accepted the fact that they are special in their own ways. So I am just assisting my daughter to reach her maximum potential. She has got the same diagnosis that Simon got i.e. Level 1 in repetitive and restrictive behaviour and level 2 in social behavior.

Being an Autistic adult, I explained to people that they call me "mild" Autistic because they experience me in a mild way, but to me, I don't experience Autism in a mild way. I'm Autistic all the time, not some of the time. My Autism isn't mild for me, it's hard, all the time. However, I have come to understand how to be more comfortable with myself. When people say someone is mildly, moderately, or severely Autistic, what said people are actually saying is THEY experience an Autistic individual "mildly", "moderately ", or "severely--- to the Autisitc individual, it's not mild, it's not moderate, it's not severe, it just "is what it is" all the time. What does get easier though is when we (Autistic people) acquire more-and-more social skills. Autistic people don't acquire or learn social skills intuitively, we can learn them. Though, even when we know lots of social skill-sets, we still lack what I call "social sense" (aka..what NT people call "common sense"). Though, many Autistic people I know are intellectually very advanced---especially as they mature.

Thanks for this informative video. I'm 23 and was tested for autism as a child, but they said I didn't have it despite having some of the traditional signs of autism (picky eater, speech delay, early reading etc). They thought I was so smart that I was being "manipulative." Now I'm an adult that struggles socially. I believe I might have level 1 autism or possible ADHD.

[@nate6511]

Some of those symptoms are also typical for HSP (highly sensitive persons), and there's an overlap between that and giftedness (especially early reading wouldn't really be considered a hallmark for autism). If you're struggling, read up on all possibilities - and the different tips (because those differ per "label). That way you can pick and choose the coping methods that work best for you.

[@JunaidWolf3]

Autism isn’t always picked up early on in life for me it wasn’t til 21 but when I was 3 or 4 I was tested and there are records however we lost the papers but most times people don’t know I have it despite not being able to do eye contact that well however I do have problems talking with people and I’ll get easily distracted or overly excited over things that most people won’t

I’m finding your videos interesting and helpful. My nephew was diagnosed with autism when he was about six years old - he was labeled as “suspected autism” for a couple of years prior to that. It took them a while to make the official diagnosis, for some reason. Maybe because he tends toward the milder end of the spectrum in some ways. I’m seeing some parallels with your younger son, especially. Anyway, these videos are helping me understand my nephew better. Thanks!

My daughter was diagnosed with autism. She started speech and occupational therapy. It took a long time to get stuff done. She can be challenging during therapy sessions. I wonder if she will improve. I must have faith. I wish her insurance would cover more sessions but I am grateful for any services she gets. I wish there was funding, scholarships or free programs so all children with a disability would receive support. I dislike the fact that is all about money in this country. So sad. If children don't get support autistic symptoms can get worse overtime. Some children that are autistic and are level 1 or high functioning deserve to get support too but most insurances don't think so.

[@7Aheadfamily]

That can happen, Unfortunately. Are you in the USA? Some state does their own thing, but some state have pretty good services.

[@ammogan]

We autistic people need understanding, we don't need to be "improved" to your standards. Sure, there are autists with comorbidities where the comorbidities need to be improved, but that is not autism. To all autism moms; do better. We cannot be cured, and if you ask your children they would tell you they wouldn't want to be, I wouldn't want to be cured. I could live just fine if people allowed me to simply be me, with my hand flaps, strange mannerisms (that hurt no one) strange phrasing, sensory sensitivities, etc, if people just understood me and allowed me to be my weird self. Don't try to change us, embrace us PLEASE!

[@nathanfortier7478]

Also, diagnosis can vary from country to country. I live in Canada and I was officially diagnosed with High Functionning Autism. Basically, where I live, they talk about levels of functionning instead of actual levels. High Functionning autism is the equivalent to your Level 1, Low functionning autism is the equivalent to your Level 3. To make it easier, I have the same diagnosis as Simon. Also, I was only diagnosed at 18 years old for a variety of reasons so, had I been tested at Simon's age, I might not have tested at the same level. Levels in autism can change through time, it's not because you have a low functionning autistic child that your child will be low functionning forever, they can grow and learn a lot if they have the right support which can lead to them getting re-assessed as mild or even high functionning. I'm considered high functionning because of everything I can do but, it doesn't mean that I don't struggle. I don't "look autistic" unless I stop masking so, most of the time, I'll get weird looks from my peers if I leave class randomly or if I can't hold a conversation with someone other then my best friend (who happens to also have autism although he's at a higher functionning level then I am). They don't understand that I might leave class for 15 minutes if I'm getting overstimulated (teachers can't prevent me from leaving since it's in my accessibility plan at my school). All levels of autism are hard to deal with so, if you've read this far, please make sure to respect everyone and keep an open mind, you'll find yourself having a lot more fun in life and you'll learn a lot.

[@7Aheadfamily]

Love that Nathen thank you! It is good to hear also, about how Canada talks about autism using high functioning, and low functioning Terminology. So cool, to see your progress over the years! Gives us and I’m sure many other parents a lot of hope. 😊

[@dambigfoot6844]

When I was in 3rd grade or about 9 years old I was told about Asperger’s. It kind of does seem like “High Functioning Autism” gets ignored by school systems and supports. I have a desire to be social but really was never given specific conversational training. Also another big one I later found out was where to look when you walk past somebody you are directly facing and walking towards.

[@7Aheadfamily]

❤️ thank you for sharing!

[@kimmyera174]

I think the high/low is falling out of favour though. Personally, based on myself and how ive seen some other autistic people. I just categorize Autism by the level of *severity*. Meaning how much it actually affects their day to day life. I consider myself mild, since I can usually hide it in public (and even just normally) except for some slight mannerisms, not usually common in neuro-typical people. I knew a friend in high school and I would say he is moderate, seems to have slightly lower intelligence, but nice, and speaks and moves with a stammer usually (we both liked roblox at the time actually, lol... yknow, when it was good? circa 2011). But even with mild, I still have day to day issues with socializing, and certain senses are off-putting at times, including being outside. The worst thing is really the lack of support for mildly autistic people, if they need it. I feel we deserve to live in day-to-day life too, despite little differences.

Still struggling after 1.5 year to make him understand these things. He's on level 2, need based verbal at the age 3.9 But, after realising that I appreciate all the neurotypical kids, it's a blessing to be born as a neurotypical wherein you don't have to struggle this much to understand and communicate with near and dear ones!

My son is diagnosed with autism. But pretend playing and communication with him is exactly the same way like your neurotypical children. I don’t know if he is diagnosed properly or not. He shows some signs like walking tiptoe, or attention to certain things and not paying attention to things that he doesn’t like. Talking in high pitch sometimes. But he has a best friend. He can play very well with other children and share his without any problems. Understand my emotions and when I go through rough time.

[@crissyoi]

I’m right there with you. My daughter was very recently diagnosed with level two autism and she is about to turn four in May. She doesn’t have any stimming behaviors, no tiptoeing or hand waving. She is not nonverbal and she’s clearly able to communicate her needs with me, but she refuses to potty and prefers to have a diaper change, she won’t answer yes or no questions, she’s really not interested in actually having a conversation with anybody unless it’s to communicate something she wants or something fun she’s looking at like naming her numbers, letters, toys, animals, shapes, etc. She does have some violent behaviors, but not self harm. It’s more like meltdowns and tantrums where she’s not able to emotionally regulate very well so I’m hoping that once we can get her into speech therapy and occupational therapy and ABA that will help her. I’m a first time mom so I’m not really sure how much of this is related to her diagnosis versus how much is just her being the average threenager. I feel so lost :(

[@natsmukherjee]

@@crissyoi I can feel you. I was a 1st time mother too. And did not understand what to do. He got diagnosed at the age of 5 but I saw signs way early that he was not exactly behaving like other children’s of his age. In some aspects of his growth he was too high achieving for his age and in some aspects he was too low. It took even the psychologist quite a long time to determine whether he is autistic or not. He is being diagnosed since he was 3 and a half years old. Because most of his behaviours are as a neurotypical child. I would suggest of it’s possible for you, you should do a child parent therapy where you could get to understand your child and how to communicate with her. This one therapy helped me the most to understand and to make a bond with my son. Now all of his speech therapy and occupational therapy has stopped and they started with Heilpädagogik therapy. Now I have to see how much it will help him.

When I was in school there was still a distinction between Asperger’s and Autism. In 3rd grade I was told about having Asperger’s. After that I went to a class for a couple days with a kid who would now be considered to have “Level 3 Autism” but all I knew was that he had Autism. He would lick my arm hairs and kept repeating the name of his cat in a funny way “bumpa bumper bumpa”. I would laugh uncontrollably with him but I generally knew that me and him had a difference.

i am a woman and autistic. i was diagnosed at 23. i was diagnosed with so many other things as a child and went through ridiculous psychiatric treatment. i have trouble with a lot of sounds in day to day life but i wear earplugs. i love to swing, spin, and bounce, they help me feel evened out and happy. all behavior is comminication, even if it seems "bad" autistic people have strange ways about voicing their needs because wires get crossed sometimes, at least that's how it is for me. this is such a random comment lol. but anyways you have a beautiful family and i wish the absolute best for you all

@7Aheadfamily can i ask your opinion on why your son closes the doors and I am guessing he does this regularly. My son does this all the time and puts on all the lights in our home even in the day. The moment you open a door or turn off the lights he has a melt down. He is very violent at 2yrs and 8 months. I sometimes have to let him keep the lights on as we can go back and forth for a long periods of time and it becomes very tiring with everything as you already know.

[@7Aheadfamily]

Thank you for watching and sharing. ❤️ yes, Ezra hast to close the doors, but I’m glad he hasn’t figured out the light thing. 😊 That is interesting as well that he wants the lights on, it seems like most of the time autistic individuals say they like it more dim, so that is surprising.

I just wished people understand that different does not mean better or worse, or less or more, is just different. They have now and will have in the future different struggles. But Simon will experience a set of struggles that Ezra likely won't and vice and versa. Also the levels on support is not set on stone they can change, a low support child can need more support in a future depending of situtations and a high support child can learn to be more independent with the right help. Acknowlegding some things, ability to mask, trying to live in both worlds brings a new set of struggles and suffering, because we see clearly what people judges us for and say we lack. Our disability is not visible on us, so we receive way less compassion and understanding for it. So it really bothers me when people say low support child or adults struggle less, they just struggle in a different way.

[@RM-jc1gr]

*Just upon the subject of pretend* I remember feeling that to dialogue with another child (while playing pretend) felt like an unpleasant interruption that required upkeep. So, in essence, a chore. My imagination was So plush but the dialogue caused for me to have to break from that. Which felt like a constant glass of cold water on the experience thus diminishing to the enjoyment in it. It sort of felt like multitasking: (maybe this is the deficit issue for some.) Although, I'm wondering if it may also have to do with the part of the brain that engages real time application of speech once the eyes have become fixed/engaged? You enter in, as it were, into the world of imagination but also into the swelling sensory experience and that distances you from being in the moment. (Note: my personal experience is that in certain areas I can excel in multitasking but in other ways I malfunction. Haha!) It seems to stand out that there is a bit of a glitch in the particular area of coordinating a smoothe coupling with external stimuli (especially during pretend play) due to its improvisational nature. I can't put my words together properly enough - but..It seems to be a coordination issue between the eyes being fixed/engaged plus what all of that entails (or invokes in the mind), staying in the moment via processing input/output of speech, (and for what seemed to be the hang-up for me, in particular) the improvisational requirement. Which now has me questioning: What is it about the improv nature that trips me up? My mind Did have the ability to improv which was perfectly demonstrated by my vast imagination. So, It must be about coordination. Conversations usually come from resolved thought, so not as confusing to navigate. Improv is open-ended, making something up on the fly. Random to some extent. I would say that it requires a skill that an autistic person doesn't manage with ease. It could be represented functionally by an ability to keep one foot in imagination and the other in the real world all at the same time. A coordinating factor. I think the cause is due to a slower processing ability possibly due to the particular Type of information. Once you engage (eyes fixed), the interaction from a playmate starts coming in too fast and too random to relate quickly enough to any resolved thought to process and reply. You then must work to play pretend to keep up and its very tasking and unpleasant. This makes me now question the parameters to what separates regular conversation with playing pretend. The hiccup for me seems to be exclusive to the nature of improv. Improv has its own criteria for what constitutes it. It is separate from, say, a regular conversation. A regular conversation typically comes from a resolved collection, or pattern of thought, whereas improv seems to be pulled from a mixed bag of open-ended possibilities without known links. Again, the Ability to improv Is there (given the capacity to imagine), so this may be simply an issue of coordinating that Type of rash sequence in an efficient manner. Maybe it would be beneficial to take an improv class to stretch that out some? An exercise. To be honest though, that sounds Terribly uncomfortable for me. Haha!!! Upon remembrance: I would much rather play in silence and get lost in the lushness of the objects, the feelings they produced, and my very creative imagination as to be interrupted and brought back down to earth. Haha!! I'm still like that to this day. If I'm watching something, or engaged, I would much rather to do it in silence.

My 12 year old cousin Elijah has autism and he was diagnosed on the severe spectrum when he was 4 years old and when he was 2 & 3 years old he could still kind've talk but he had a really bad phobia of shots which caused him to develop severe autism. I also have another cousin called Gardy who's on the spectrum because he has dyslexia and struggles with vocabulary pretty bad and they had to put him on the moderate spectrum because of it, but Gardy doesn't have autism in general they just had to put him on the spectrum to get the help that he needs. Elijah on the other hand doesn't really talk but he can say Hello, How are you, I'm good, I'm okay, but sometimes I help him learn new words and I teach the difference between right and wrong. Elijah has trouble with social interactions and he doesn't really like going outdoors in his neighborhood and he usually likes playing with his toy cars and watching T.V. Shows, Elijah will only go outside unless he's with his friends at recess during school and sometimes he would go out there out hang out with his 8 year old brother Gabriel, Elijah has trouble making friends around his block but me and Gabriel are his main friends. Elijah sometimes makes verbal noises and loves touching people's faces but he is very fun to play with. Gardy knows how to talk in complete sentences but he has doesn't really like going outdoors to play outside either, He sometimes like to play on his PS4 and loves paying roblox, Gardy likes to social interact with people in our family and his friends from school, he gets pulled out of class so he can get the proper help for his dyslexia. Autism is not a disability, It's different ability, People with autism don't deserve to be bullied because they deserve the same respect as us. Dyslexia is not a bad thing either, and people don't deserve to get bullied for that either. Autistic Kids deserve to be treated with respect by other kids too because they're very smart and they're fine the way they are.

*I NEED ADVICE!* My son is two and he is verbal but lately when i ask him questions he'll ignore me or has selective hearing, i think. His grandpa will ask him how dinner was or how fun a toy is and he'll just look around and not answer so I'll tap him and ask a few times and then sometimes he will answer or get sidetracked. Another thing is when i pick him up to explain something to him face to face about why something is bad he will cry or want to be put down rather than look me in the eyes and listen. I tried to chalk it down to him being two years old but I'm a bit worried.. I can't send him to a specialist until he's five or so (that's what I've been told) he is very smart and vocal every day and knows all his shapes, colors and numbers but has focus issues. Maybe I'm over thinking but i don't know if it's a normal thing for two year olds to have focusing issues alot or not. If something is peaking his interest, he'll be all in and focus but when he's unitrested, it all goes out the window.

[@7Aheadfamily]

First of all question where do you live? In my opinion that’s absolutely ridiculous that you can’t send your child to a specialist until they are five years old. If you are in the United States, you can send your child to a specialist as early as the day they are born. And if you want to have your child, have an assessment for autism, then you can get that at 2 years old. It sounds like you have some legitimate concerns. Does your pediatrician say that you have to wait till he’s five years old until he can get assessed for a neurological disorder?

[@d.n.8919]

Whoever said he’s too young to see a specialist and get testing is wrong. Early intervention is key. By the way, if he is autistic, many autistic kids only want to engage in conversations that “have value,” meaning the conversation is interesting to them. Autistic people aren’t very keen on small talk that serves no purpose except to be “polite” in the eyes of society. Try talking to him about his interests more.

I watched this video 3-4 months ago when I was in dilemma if my daughter had autism or not. Now when she is 2 I can see so many similarities with Simon. She also makes animal sounds when prompted but she has stopped doing it because she doesn't think it's fun anymore. She has added few words in her vocabulary like swings, up and ball. She can count to 10. Although she can't say clearly but anybody can figure out that she is counting. She has learnt to solve few puzzles. She can arrange alphabets but she doesn't find them interesting. She learnt to drink water from cup, eating from spoon/fork. She responds to her name but still avoids eye contact for long. Sometimes she surprises us for instance last week her speech therapist got amazed at her eye contact. The toughest job for parents is to keep their autistic kids engaged in activities because they get bored pretty easily.
