I had an emotional breakdown tonight before coming across this video. I’m so tired and felt useless to my son for not understanding his needs this evening. He became so upset that he threw everything on the floor including his food and had a long meltdown. My son is nearly 3 years old. He’s nonverbal, only eats nuggets and drinks pediasure and even those things are a struggle. He has ABA and OT and is going to daycare 3 times a week to socialize but I sometimes feel so discouraged and have fears about his future 😢

It took me 3 year, 31kgs and alot of tears to "accept it" .. it's not that I ever rejected it, it was just the fear of the future, his functional capacity and what that might look like 🥺 I'm alot happier now but the worry will never fully go away I don't think

Thank you, we just got our Autism diagnosis last week and my little girl turned 4. It’s always hard especially when you have other little ones to worry about but your video gives me hope

What's with the jumper? 😮😉 Is there something we don't know?? ❤

Thank you, I have a 2 year old with speech delay and he sensory seeks all day. No diagnosis yet but it’s clear to me he his so different to a typical child. The progression with your son keeps me very hopeful in this lonely time.

I just want to thank you. I discovered your channel 2/3 years ago at a time when my son was just being diagnosed. Even though I could see the signs and had experience working with children with special needs, it was still a hard pill to swallow. Your channel helped me so much and it has been lovely to see the growth. I’ve come so far and I now embrace my son’s autism and love him for who he is. It has been such a hard journey but I’m so glad I found your channel all those years ago.

Cried through the whole thing, this is exactly how we feel. Perfectly worded. We love your channel, thank you for make me feel less alone. ❤

For all the parents out there please hear me you are soldiers u r worriors ,,, please 🙏🙏🙏🙏 do give your autistic child pets and you will alot of improvement in your kids ,,, the more you keep them close to nature the more they progress like forest walks , going in woods playing in sand swimming etc

My son was diagnosed with autism when he was 2. Now he is 4 years old but the the fear is still here. Like how my son will going to face this world. You said so much word from your heart. But I feel like the word you said I can't express to other. The felling is same. I can feel it.

You get me, and I get you 💖💙

Thank you! I really hate when people invalidate our feelings. We all process things at a different pace! 💞

Once I’ve got in touch with the actual autistic community and was able to see that my son is just like a whole bunch of people out there, and the problem is not him but rather a society that expects humans to be like factory made robots, I not only accepted but fully embraced it.

One important thing to remember, I think, is that our kids are growing up in a very different world to the one we saw. When I was born, in the 70s, an autism diagnosis was a life sentence of being seen as nothing more than a collection of symptoms and deficiencies, reinforcing a conviction that you'll never be "normal". Nowadays...even from the last five years, it's

We just got our diagnosis for my daughter tonight. Your words were so comforting😢 Thank you

Thank you so much. Bless you and your family for making these videos.

Hello guys. I was diagnosed Asperger as an adult, and might say that even if any of you guys come to a diagnosis, it does not mean that you cannot or your child cannot succeed. I am 25 yo, living in Brazil. I work as software developer, graduated, currently trying to get my master in physics and am married. I am not saying that everything is possible to anyone: everyone has their own difficulties. However the diagnosis is not a final destination or fate per say.

i can completely relate to everything you said in this video. thank you for the effort you put into your videos, it does help knowin that we are not alone and that everyone deals with it in their own way

Thank you so so much it's only been a couple weeks and I jumped right on the appointments and referralsand information seeking and have not stopped to breathe or cry. I needed to . ❤

I am so glad i came across your channel today. I really needed this ❤
