This Woman Was Diagnosed With Autism Along With Her 3 Children | Parenting Against All Odds

[@psychicrenegade]

Wow...my family has a lot of similarities! My husband and I are both on the spectrum, but we didn't discover that until we did all the research for our kids! We have four kids...the oldest has ADHD and OCD, but her autistic traits are not "severe" enough for a diagnosis of autism. Our three younger kids were all diagnosed with both AHDH and autism...the two girls are Level 1, and our baby boy is Level 2. He was actually the impetus for us learning about autism...his was obvious even as a baby, and doing the research for him, helped me realize that my girls were autistic, too, their traits just weren't as obvious. We had all four kids professionally evaluated, and that's when we realized that autism is very much genetic, and the reason all of our kids have autistic traits, is because BOTH of their parents are autistic, too! I think the hardest thing about having autistic kids...is how much they struggle with those unspoken social rules, how difficult it is for them to make friends, and "fit in," and also the decision to either homeschool them, or deal with IEPs and constant bullying at school...from both the kids AND the teachers!

It’s crazy I just recently found out that I have autism and that’s exactly how I played with my toys growing up. I was very into animals and dinosaurs and I would line them up in a straight line and pretend they were going to find water. I always knew I was a little different, but I didn’t realize these things were all related to autism. It actually makes me feel more normal and comforted because I thought I was very weird because nobody else I knew Would play with toys like that. My sister also helped me she is less than a year younger than me, but is Nuro typical and help me learn to play games like pretend. I never liked playing pretend growing up until I got better at it, but I always enjoyed playing with my animals and dinosaurs. I was also very obsessed with Pokémon and I was really good at collecting the cards as well as the toys they gave out during the first Pokémon movie. The Burger King one specifically.

When I was 12 I was diagnosed with bipolar depression schizophrenia adhd and ptsd. Now I’m 22 with a beautiful baby girl and a supportive loving fiancé. I been struggling with severe social anxiety attatchment disorder and anger issues. In a few weeks I’m going to reevaluate myself for a check up. I also have a learning disability. I went through a lot through a a lot as a kid. This woman is not alone. I have a lot of melt downs when me any my fiancé argue when something isn’t done the right way or just when something I don’t like happens. I tend to stress over the smallest things or stuff in the past happened or I stress about future stuff. Of course bills and financial stuff doesn’t really help either makes me stress more. I get anxious sometimes when my baby screams and cries when I watch her while her poppa works cause I get nervous. There are times where I ask my fiancé am I’m good mother? Am I capable of being a mom? I’m not perfect but at least my fiancé thinks so and our baby is happy with me I am blessed and happy. This video really shows that I’m also not alone and I can do anything I put my mind and heart to if I don’t let my disabilities slow me down and if I believe in myself. I may struggle but I’ll just keep pushing until I succeed. My fiancé and my daughter are the reason why I’m still here today. But more so god. Believe in yourself no matter what. Godbless

I was diagnosed 2 years ago at 36 years old with autism

[@nahtatroll]

I am autistic, though barely on the spectrum. You couldn’t tell I had it, but nearly all people I have been friends with or have dates are similarly autistic. I want to have lots of children, though I am worried that my children will have low-functioning autism. (Non verbal or incapable to function on their own) I would never want my kids to go through that, and I wouldn’t want to burden the world with that. Autism isn’t a disease but it’s certainly not a positive when it dramatically impacts your ability to experience what being a human is.

Is the ladies husband autistic too or not? Is the father of the children autistic or not?

[@anthonyruiz6365]

If none of the couple are autistic but could it be that they both are carriers of the 🧬 gene?

[@edwinhill413]

I also saw his recommendation and approach Dr Oyalo for the herbs on KZbin. The herbs has so far work positive on my child’s eye contacts and speech improvement. My child social skill is good now and response to name has improved too

[@EclecticallyEccentric]

Your child didn't necessarily lack social skills before. They lacked what are deemed acceptable social skills. And why do you feel the need to have your child make eye contact? The fact your child now makes better eye contact doesn't mean it's any less uncomfortable, just that they've gotten better at acting.

I am a 30 years old male aspie pharmacist.. and I find it agonizing to see a human (especially a child) go through what I have gone through .. That is why I think we should not breed .. no one deserve to suffer what we suffered .. this world is not made for us. This illness is passed to our kids even if not with the same severity or even it could skip our kids to the grandkids .. at the end of the day it passes to our breed .. they should not suffer .. my parents are aspies and they are narcissists.. I hate them bcz they made my life like hell and I am still suffering .. suffering from their genes and suffering from their narcissism and autism traits. Think twice ; trice ; billion times before having a kid of your own if you are on the spectrum .. you will pass it to them and the worst part is that you can not tolerate them with their autistic problems .. I mean imagine an aspie who have a normal kid to raise .. let alone an aspie with autistic child to raise. Be carefull

[@lizzvilla6468]

You're a pharmacist? Glad you could make it throught in life👍 I have a 5yo child and she's autistic also a 6yo nephew autistic as well we don't have autistic members in out family not that we know of. It hurts me that I can't communicate with my daughter she can't have a conversation.😔

[@stuntdoll]

I think my grand father had autism and so did my aunt. Possibly my mom too. For this reason I don’t think I want to have kids.

[@snowqueen24]

I'm sorry to hear that. I am currently suffering from narcissistic abuse at home, but my parents are not autistic. I tried everything to move out of my mom's house, but it backfired and I feel like I'm better off waiting to go to Heaven when it's time for me to go than to suffer from the abuse.😭😞

[@laurainrevison1162]

I'm so sorry for you. So glad I never had children. I don't want anyone to go through the world on purpose because I brought them here.

[@breannapiscitelli3941]

There’s nothing to be sorry about. I also have autism and I did not know until I was 29 years old. I don’t pity myself and I understand things just as much as everyone else just in a different way. There’s also a high chance my daughter, possibly has autism because of me. She is not even to, but whether she has autism or not, I would say that I am very good with kids. I have memories very far back, and I remember being a child. I remember not being understood, and not knowing how to express myself so others can understand me. I think most kids struggle with this but children with autism struggle a lot harder. regardless I am constantly trying to learn how to be the best parent I can be for my daughter. I got very lucky because she is very well behaved but I think a lot of that is because I understand her very well because of my autism. She’s learning needs right now and she has learned sign language and I’ve helped her learn sign language to Xpress words that are too hard to say. An issue I know that I still struggle with this day. I just tried to put myself in her shoes and do what I would do if it was my parents. I’m not good at explaining things part of my issue, but I am a very good parent and if anything, I think I have a slight advantage. Children are a lot more easy to understand than adults to me that and animals as well. There’s a lot less body language and their intentions Are very literal. I struggle with telling if someone is trying to tell me a joke. I’m a very literal person, so I have a hard time understanding a lot of advanced social structures. Or I should say I just suck at socialization. I think a lot of it is because autism as seen as this debilitating disease. It can be debilitating, but it’s only debilitating because of the lack of understanding, and how to help someone with autism. most people don’t want to listen to me because I’m not good at explaining myself and I take too long. But honestly, I wouldn’t feel bad. If anything this woman is a rockstar for how well she handles the situation.

[@laurainrevison1162]

Well..my advice. Don't have anymore children. So sick of this shit. I'm sick of doctors not helping and society blaming. Would she have children if she knew? Good luck keeping your marriage.
