Loved hearing dan and robert’s story. It’s the realisation of how many families out there have to support children with autism ♥️

I have just come across this channel, my son is on the spectrum. It resonates with me how the emotions can be overwhelming, but the love is always there 😊 I loved this conversation ❤

This was so lovely they are doing an incredible job as parents, just shows always trust your gut when it comes things like pushing your child out their comfort zone my parents have always done this its got me far and cleary the same for their son. Xx

Thank you so much for sharing this conversation with us

Amazing testimonial! I think people and children on the spectrum can be much more "tolerant" and accepting regarding (in this case) sexual orientation, especially because they are not so bond to social stereotypes. I also have a theory that such as many countries abs cultures in the Western world now tottally accept same sex relationships, so they will learn how to accept autistic people.

[@ComingHometoAutism]

I agree x

[@emmajohnson9097]

He mentions books that you recommended. Can you please tell me which ones they were. I'm always trying to learn and read more about autism and raising and autistic child x

Great interview, thanks for sharing

[@walidsarwary]

I have not much info on autisim and my son has been diagnosed with level 3 autism , is there a chance that child with level 3 autism can manage to live in thier own when they are adult ???

[@ComingHometoAutism]

I think they are moving away from levels as autism is a spectrum and for example some things dylan can do well at, others he really struggles depends on the day too. But I believe all children on the spectrum with the eight support can thrive x

[@whitneymason406]

Of course! My son was diagnosed with level 3 autism too. Those levels aren't set in stone, they can change as the child matures, progresses, and gains new skills!

@@whitneymason406 thanks so much , I really appreciate your answer God bless you.

@@ComingHometoAutism thank you so much , your answer give me hope .

Everything is possible. Keep working very hard with his therapists and he will be able to be happy and wild .

[@ZimmoneZ618]

Exactly! They all say autism and routine. I so much practice break of the routine in my house. I’m so sick of all the therapist who DON’T have an autistic kid and they only read books about it or worked sporadically with few on the spectrum to tell me how to raise my kid, me who crawls every day for a word, or a gaze, me who knows every inch of my son’s body, brain & soul.

[@ZimmoneZ618]

@@walidsarwary everything is possible! At 3 years old (my autistic son is also 3) they need most support so a level 3 shouldn’t scare you. Later on there are so many options for them regardless of the outcome. Right now you can only focus on helping him. Don’t think too much about the future. Will give you anxiety and depression and that’s not what he needs now. He needs a strong dad, to help him discover the world and YOU are there for him. 💯

[@walidsarwary]

@@ZimmoneZ618 I wish I was normal myself to support my son , I don't know if I am on spectrum or I have ADHD , I am suffering myself from social anxiety to to health anxiety and had experienced depression and all sorts of anxiety my entire life and now my son, I am crying every day and night for him cause I know how it feels to have anxiety, I wish I was strong I am trying alot , he is so sweet and cute , one of the main challenge I have , that when take him outside he doesn't listen and keep moving and moving and runing and he is not aware of danger like cars or anything around him . I am from Afghanistan and I knew learned about autisim. But thanks so much for your kind answer , it is good to share here what I go through and people here feel my pain , cause thier love one's also has autism like Ur adorable son .

[@ZimmoneZ618]

@@walidsarwary we all here for you. We are hundreds of thousands of parent like you 💪you got this! He only has you! I have huge anxiety and depression myself. For sure ADHD probably autism 🤷‍♀️ I struggled a lot all my life. When the autism diagnosis came I cried non stop for weeks and months. Everything will be ok! They run, your afraid of the cars, he doesn’t listen etc. but trust me 1-2 -5 years from now you won’t believe how far he will be and how much progress he will make. You can’t know so you cannot morn on that. He is happy. I made his happiness my mission and that drags me out of the self pity depression while every time. 💪💪 we got this, papa.

[@walidsarwary]

@@ZimmoneZ618 thank you so much your answer was so satisfying, it calm me down alot , I need it this answer so much , I am relieved alot as my English is not that good and can't find exact answer for question runing in my mind, but based on your experience with your child sharing your story gives me hope , appreciate alot 😊.
