What It's Like Disciplining a Child With AUTISM | Autism Mom VLOG

Today we're diving into the complicated world of "discipline" and correcting behaviors in children with autism. I'm sharing my positive reinforcement approach and why there are some methods I would never engage in.

When you said “ it’s almost like punishing her for being autistic” wow Vaughn, I love your thought process. You are an amazing mother. Anne is so beautiful and so sweet, God saw fit that you were the one to be her Mother. Many blessings to you both . ❤️❤️❤️

First time single mom to twins and autism is involved. You have single handedly helped me become a better, stronger parent. Thank you

My son is also on the spectrum. He wasn't diagnosed until elementary school. I believe that parenting is a process of learning your child and helping them become their best self. My son hopped on furniture, turned my couch pillows and clean towels into forts. He would be in a full body sweat watching TV because he acted out everything they did on TV. So many behaviors that others wanted me to spank him for but I gave him grace and space to be himself. As an adult away at college on his own the first year my mother's day card said thank you for being the only one who allowed him to just be himself. Keep doing what you know is best.

1st. Let me just say that you are BE-U-Ti-Ful and your skin flawless. Now let me watch the video.

It's so crazy to me that your Autism Mom videos help me deal with taking care of my sickly mother. Although my Mom is not Autistic, she's had two strokes which had left her developmentally challenged in certain areas. You've shown me that dealing with someone, who has a disorder, no matter what disorder it is' is about approaching them with patience, love and understanding. You are a true Role Model and I appreciate you.

"Development, although disordered, is still happening" Honey you just pulled at my heart strings 🥰 Thanks for this video.

KOREY WAS PUT INTO SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT "HE" WAS GOOD AT.... IT MADE HIM MORE CONFIDENT & SECURE💛

Vaughn you dropped soooo many gems in this video!!!

That’s the same reason I started my channel! I was diagnosed as an adult and I didn’t find resources on late adulthood diagnosis for autism. There almost no content on it from people of color. I love how you care for Anne. Repetitive behavior is very common in autistic individuals. I would encourage you to reframe the view of “problem behaviors” but instead “behavior you don’t understand yet” there’s always a reason. It could be her way of Stimming which should be encouraged as long as it’s not harmful to her or others. She might like the texture of the books or the sound from ripping it. Autism is a neurotype and has to do with the way our brains are wired. So some behaviors may be apart of who she is. Sometimes suppressing behaviors can be harmful to autistic individuals. I hope you take my words kindly and I’m in no way criticizing your parenting because I know you’re an awesome mom! I just wanted to share a point of view from a Verbal autistic person

I took my daughters marker and fussed at her for drawing all over herself. The next day she fussed at me in her own way while I was putting on eyeliner. 🥺 It dawned on me she didn't understand the difference and I apologized. So I definitely can relate to having to check yourself, because these kids are smart as heck. It's a fine line differentiate between childhood phases and things they can't control.

I just love how you break this information down. I am not a mother but your insight on things really helps me and provides understanding and another perspective ESPECIALLY when I do see parents and their children. You constantly remind us that we have no idea what the situation is and to be mindful of that instead of judging the parent OR the child.

[@NaturallyNelly612]

First off Hey family!! I love the autism vlogs. I am not an autism mom nor do I have anyone in my family on the spectrum. I love these vlogs because whenever I do encounter a child on the spectrum I now know how to act toward them. We all wana give our kids the best...now I know how to respond. Thank u Vaughn for these vlogs.

[@Thedramaqueensoph]

Please please please could you add captions. I would love to watch and be able to fully understand. About a month ago, I started working for a charity thats for autistic and adhd kids. We give them a safe place they can be themselves, and use art and crafts as therapy. I’m loving it :)

[@nicosiamathews6001]

I don't have any children but I totally appreciate you being open and educational. The part when you discussed your desire to allow her to be a child brought tears to my eyes!!! I was like girlllll go ahead and cryyyyy!!!! Awesome Vaughn! 👍🏽

[@user-lo5fq9uv6n]

Hi I to am a mom of a autistic son, who is 13 years old. I totally relate to what your going through, I’ve experienced that with my son as well. Often times they tend to get fustrated because they cannot communicate their feelings. One thing I do with my son is have him to write down his feelings, this way I understand him and he knows it. Also use pictures, and words to help her understand, you mom and also herself. I did this with my son when he was young like anne, and it helped him a lot. I promise you overtime anne will mature and definitely help with her development.

[@erikaa906]

Watching this video, the word “beautiful” comes to mind. The way you care for your daughter is truly touching. Anne is blessed and there’s no doubt that she’ll have the best life experience simply because you are her mother ❤️

[@flygirl1612]

Accepting her for who she is... Being a teacher and a parent of a child who has a learning disability is something that I had to learn. Thank you for your bravery and courage for stepping in front of the camera and inviting us into your life. Thanks for the reassurance 😢🤗

[@REEstylesIT]

As a former Special Ed teacher it's always so insightful to hear parent's perspectives on what systems are in place to help their children navigate in life. It broke my heart to hear you speak on feeling or being judged by other parents because they don't know your child's condition. Wishing you the best always. Xo, Ree

[@mdooms76]

If a child is non verbal, is this something that changes over time. I've noticed Ann singing words very well. 😊

[@valerieg.9242]

The best thing about your videos is that your content you make relevant considerations for all parents. Thank you for sharing so much vulnerable information 🥰
