Learning Adam was autistic was actually a real awakening moment and made me realise just how fascinating and truly awesome people on the spectrum are! I love my little prince for who he is ❤

Yes!! I agree

Hi, I was diagnosed at 2 with autism and speech delay. I’m still autistic until this day. Because of being an individual with autism, I also did my masters on special education and honours in Early Childhood and Special Education just to prove the world that there’s no such thing as outgrowing a disability. This is something that Allah gave to test you, and also test your child. May you forever continue to be consistent with being resilient. I’m not a mum but I work with children around Adam’s age and also they’re autistic too. It just takes a lot of thinking and patience. My speech isn’t the greatest but I try. Sending you lots of love and dua to you all 💕

The Māori word for autism is takiwatanga which translates to, ‘in his/her own time and space It’s such a gentle and empathetic way to describe the kind souls that is the autistic children/adults we meet Thank you for sharing Manal, how lucky for you all to have each other and for Adam to have you all, I think your perspective as a parent was so refreshing to me for so many reasons, I hope we can live in a more neurodiverse affirming world inshallah where we continue to find a place in their world rather than the other way round 💞

I have an incredible amount of respect for you Manal for making this video!

I heard someone once say: When you have a child with special needs, you basicly have a person of Jannah amongst you. This beautiful little boy, this wonderfull human being is so so loved by Allah. And will, godwillingly, be your ticket to Jannah aswel. Just keep being the amazing mum that you are. Keep educating yourself, to help him get his needs met. You're doing great so far. Just by aknowledging and getting him the help he needs ❤

My Darling Sister Chinutey.. Your son is amazing. I know many Autistic peoole who are very highly successful in becoming Qur'an Hafidh, Professors etc... The reward of raising someone with a unique condition is raising a person of Jannah, and what is the reward for the parents - the highest of Jannah for what they endured patiently.. May Allah make things easy for You and your husband.

Allah SWT does not burden you with more than you can handle. In fact Allah gave you Adam because you are the best parents for him. May Allah ease our journey through this world and give us the best in this life and the here after. Thank you for sharing. Adam you clearly are a clever little boy ❤Allahu Mubarak

My son is 3 and was diagnosed when he was 2. My son’s middle name is Ayan which means ”Allah’s Gift” & he is truely a gift from Allah. I love everything about him ❤ Alhamdulillah 🙏🏽

Our son is also autistic...exploring special needs with regards to islam has given me so much peace and contentment in this situation. I now feel lucky and blessed that Allah chose to gift me this person of jannah that's constantly surrounded by angels. SubhanAllah what a blessing. He smiles at me and I feel Allah's mercy towards me. Allah makes no mistakes he's exactly as he was intended to be. I consider his autism a great blessing ❤

Manal, Aamir, I don't know if you'll see this but both my brothers have autism and are nonverbal. One great hope and joy I look forward to is to be able to meet them in Jannah and be able to hear them talk to me and reminisce all those times where I wish I knew what they were thinking. It brings me to tears to comprehend that. Insha Allah may Allah reunite us with our loved ones and may He bless you and your beautiful family Allahumma Ameen

I’m an autism momma of 2 boys, I honestly didn’t see the signs at first I just thought he was different as a one yr old. I have a 5 yr old nonverbal boy level 3 and 4 yr old level 2 with ADHD. Sending you a big hug. It can be stressful at times but just be patient things will get better slowly but surely. ABA therapy has helped us a lot!

ABA therapy is very effective, but super expensive in the U.K! It’s not even a thing, and the U.K. government seems to want them to remain the way they are. Unfortunately It’s the rich that benefit form ABA

May Allah always protect Adam, Ameen ❤️

Your son is so lucky to have a mama so ready to advocate for him🤍 MashaAllah thank you for sharing

I'm a Registered Behavioral Technician. I work with children on the autism spectrum. It is surely the most rewarding job seeing my kiddos improve from being non verbal to have full on conversations with me during therapy sessions!

The autistic people in my life are the most beautiful and precious people to me. They are the reason that I am becoming a clinical psychologist. Fight for him, love him and remember that Allah will protect him. I had dedicated my learning to ASD because they deserve the BEST.

Thank you so much for sharing! You’re doing an incredible job mA! Adam seems like the sweetest little boy mA! A little flower from jannah in your home. So insightful and so proud of you and Amir for taking a positive and proactive approach. It must’ve been so tough to digest at first but seems like you’re getting through this with beautiful patience mA.

I am not a mother, but I remember meeting a woman who had an autistic son and she said the most beautiful thing. "I thank Allah SWT for him every day because he's going to be my ticket to Jannah". You are blessed, Manal! Masha'Allah Allahuma Barik

Thank you sooooo much for making this video, raising awareness and opening up 🤍🤍🤍 sending so much love for you and your family!

Allahumma Barik. This is such a beautiful video. You’re such an amazing mother Manal ❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much for sharing this! I am currently going through something similar with my toddler and knew there was something different around a year old. However, NHS and health care professionals have not been quick to help us with getting a diagnosis/assessment. I am glad to hear your concerns were validated and you manage to get a diagnosis. Allahumabarik you can tell Adam is so lucky to have a mother like yourself who talks about him with so much admiration x

Youre Incredible!!! Your son is blessed to have you mashallah. May Allah reward you jannah for literally being the best mom ever. May Allah bless you infinitely my beautiful sister ❤️

What a beautiful video and so well put with raw honesty but complete faith and sabr, wishing you and your family all blessings xx

You are an amazing mum ❤. So much respect to you for sharing this. May Allah bless you and your beautiful family x ❤

This video is so precious ! Thank you for sharing your son's autism journey... I'm currently experiencing the same journey with my 2 years old daughter and I remember when the doctors told me when she was 18months I was just feeling so desperate not because she might be autistic but more being scare on how the world would treat her. Al hamdoulilah she has started therapies and I see her blooming every single day. Having a child on the spectrum just means you have a special child with their own superpower ! Being present and educate people around you is wonderful. Hang it there mama life for them will be beautiful in sha Allah

You're such a sweet mum and I love how you're protecting and nurturing him! As a ND human, thank you. ❤

My respect for your has always been there but the way you speak about this has definitely heightened it so much!!

Thank you for sharing! That was very brave of you. You are hella strong and you've got this InShaAllah. It sounds so scary to have him out there in the world... But you've already begun helping him and so many others by spreading awareness! MashAllah Adam is so loved and thats the #1 best thing for him ❤ love you ❤ and making dua in last ten days that his journey through life on the spectrum is without hardships and that you all have the strength to continue being the way you are because you're doing everything right Alhumdulilah ❤

Thank you so much for sharing this. My son was recently diagnosed and I know how brave it is of you to share this, especially since you didn't have to but chose to.

So much love for you and your family! May Allah SWT always protect Adam ❤️

Thank you so much for opening up Manal ❤

An absolutely incredible mum you are Manal, Allahuma baarik. May Allah protect your family. Allahuma ameen

You're a great mum, Manal ❤ Sending you hugs 😊

Mash'Allah what a beautiful smile your son has. May Allah bless him much 💔♥️

Thank you for using your platform to share your experience and your story. Awareness goes such a long way. I have nephews that are on the spectrum and have autism. I absolutely love them. My oldest nephew with autism is our gentle giant. He’s now 22 yrs old. He’s a genius at statistics and sports, he’s my human gps when on road-trips. You’ll never get lost with him in your car. Autism in my opinion is just another way of saying "their way". They learn at their pace, speak when they’re ready, do things in their way/order all while they teach us during the process. You’re not alone. There’s a large community with amazing children like Adam and we’re all blessed to be a part of their lives and them in ours. Embrace every moment.

Thanks for sharing and I am sure Adam is lucky to have you as his Mom and hope he will turn good Insha Allah

You hit the spot sister..I am so glad I came across this. I'm waiting for my three year old to be assessed and you have expressed everything I am and was feeling. Thank you!

Hi Manal, it brings me so much joy to hear your story and especially during Autism Acceptance month (in the US). I have been working with children on the spectrum in the field of ABA for over 4 years now and finding this field was truly life-changing! I love seeing the progress that all my kids make and watching them learn new skills like learning to communicate or emotional coping strategies is the best part. It’s truly the most fulfilling job I could have ever dreamed of. I am currently studying to receive my master’s in special education and am studying to become a board certified behavior analyst. I would also like to mention that if there is anyone out there who is looking to learn about treatments, I would suggest looking into an ABA provider. Also, do some research to find local resources, if you are living in California there are lots of resources out there. Finding resources is really important and crucial to the development of neurodiverse kiddos, so it’s important that we really step up and advocate for our little ones by taking the time to find resources for them. Early intervention is crucial as children learn so much during their early years. I am truly so happy to hear your story, as this is something that I am very passionate about. Sending a big hug from California 💙🌈

My nephew is now 14 and was diagnosed with autism early and was non-verbal. My twin sister, his mother, lived in a rural area in the US and didn’t have the resources of experts or many specialized services but Thank God He provides. I had my first child 17 months after he was born and it sparked something in him. He began talking and interacting so much. God blessed us with him and I’m so grateful. Your son sounds so to be true blessing as well.

You are amazing manal. Allah SWA Made you Adams mum for a reason. Having an autistic child is not easy but is very rewarding and a very interesting journey. I wish I had videos like this when my son got diagnosed all those years ago when no one knew what autism was. He is 16yrs now and thriving. May Allah protect your beautiful family and make this journey with Adam easy and full of barakah. Amen.

May Allah continue to bless and increase you son and your family!!

Allahumma barik! This was wonderful to see. I`m a teacher and it is very important to learn about autism and other diagnoses to met the child/ren where they are and give them support they might need. May Allah bless your family and your wonderful baby boy. Allahumma amiin. ❤

Thank you so much for sharing with us! I’ve learned a lot about autism just from listening to your story. I also learned to be mindful and respectful when making comments about one “will grow out of it”.

The fears are totally real. Thank you for bravely sharing . I really appreciate it . I know ALL the feelings . May Allah bless you this Ramadan and Eid .

Part of the reason Adam is thriving is because you, as his mom, were so accepting of whatever comes and pushing to find answers. For others, it may not be something they want to hear. Your calm personality made it a safe space for your friend to share her observations and give you support. Thank you for sharing.

I been one of your followers for years, and my son, who was born just 2 months after Adam, also has ASD. This video resonates with me so much and you are being exactly the mother I hope I can be to my son.

I felt everything you said! It gets easier! My son is so loving and gives the best hugs ❤

Your friend is what we all need. Thank God for her. Wish your lovely family all the best .

You’re doing great mama. Having parents like y’all setting him up for success InshAllah he’ll have a wonderful adult life.

You're so strong mama. Thanks for sharing. May Allah make it easy for you and your family Bithnillah Aameen.

Alhumdulillah he is special my dear, I work with children with additional needs. Love the children and being able to help them become independent young people. Your young man will be amazing, their is so much support out there. You will be fab Xx

Thank you so much for posting this video. I'm going through the process currently getting my daughter diagnosed. This video was so comforting x

hey love my nephew is also autistic and I know what you're going through specially as a mother its hard but trust me its a gift from God and he sees how much patience and gratitude you have towards his blessings and tests. May Allah make it easier and best !

Hi Manal ! I’m so happy for you for speaking about this! I also have a special needs child ❤ he is almost 3❤ Allah has blessed us in a very different way ❤

I love you and I can’t tell you enough, but this video is not just a video this video serves a purpose for so many parents out there who are in the dark or afraid. Thank you for sharing Manel. You are absolutely the best.

This is so personal and thank you so much for sharing this experience with the world❤️❤️ جزاج الله خير

An incredible amount of respect to you for bringing this to attention and talking about it. Kiddos on the spectrum are beautiful and so special and this isn't talked about enough in the Muslim communities in my opinion. May Allah put barakah in you and your family's affairs.

I would have loved a mom as understanding and sweet as you growing up with autism! You’re doing great ❤

Thank you for sharing Minal. It’s very common for people to be dismissive of certain behaviors and say “they will grow out of it”. I think it’s their way of avoiding putting in extra effort or their way or not wanting to acknowledge that a child is different. There is nothing wrong with a child being neurodivergent and nobody should love their child any less because of it. Being neurodivergent has many stigmas but getting your child help is the best way to ensure they are the most successful and happy! I am glad that Adam has you as his mommy! Your so sweet and caring and I know you will do everything in your power to support little man 💓🫶🏽

Thank you for sharing Manaal! This was so helpful and close to my heart

this made me so emotional i dont even know why but when you said you want to find out so you can create a world where he is understood and no one misunderstands 😭🥺 how precious he is Ma Sha Allah Allahumma Baarik, may Allah make it easy for you, your son and family and protect you all from every sort of evil out there Ameen ❤️

Dear mommy i want to tell you how blessed we are to have such a unique person in our lives that we are blessed with to call our children, truly children are a blessing of the Lord 😊❤ here a mommy of a autism spectrum boy, ASS in dutch. My son also has a TOS (Google translate says language development disorder for English 😅) but to see him as my son of 4years old with a older sister and younger sister giving everybody so much love just fills my heart with joy! I was so lucky that our hospital send a person to my home who saw my son and said he needs to go to a special day care, where he could be himself and learn everyday something new! I know about the people who say, yeah but they just put him in a box, i always know this comes from a place of love but I try to explain that this box works because he needs a special school to go to and they need to see if your child fits this box, most people understand after the explanation! I am not ashamed to say that he was 4years old and then stopped wearing a diaper, it is on his terms on not on ours! I hope for every parent who goes trough this that they day positive and really look at all the beautiful things different children with different needs bring! God Bless you!

Ma shaa Allah your children are blessed to have you ❤

Thank you for charing your video, I’m going through the same struggle as you, but Allah has plans for everything.

I worked with people on the spectrum for a few years and I can relate to what you were saying about him being a big-hearted boy. They also were some of the genuinely nice and loving people I’ve ever met. May Allah bless Adam in all aspects of his lives and give him the strength he needs to face the world. May He also make it easy on your beautiful family mashaAllah Allahuma barik ❤❤

Allahuma barik Manal you are so brave and you are such a beautiful soul! Adam is very blessed to have such a loving mother ❤️ so proud of you and you’ve grown to be such a captivating woman

Salams. Firstly you are an amazing parent recognising your sons need and are doing a great job learning the process. I work in a school in UK as TA and we see parents overwhelmed at the process of getting their child diagnosed. It's a long and slow process unfortunately. So many health professionals involved and lots of appointments to attend. SLT, behaviour psychologist, play psychologist, dietitian, health care workers, gp etc.. But getting help earlier on is the best thing to do. Look into schools that can cater for your child's needs and acknowledge him as an individual person and not just another child with Special needs. It all comes down to funding which the school setting will need to apply for in order to get him the help he needs at school. This will help calm your worries .I know it's a ruthless world out there but I have seen children be so mindful and kind towards their peers with additional needs. There's alot more awareness nowadays then there was even 5 years ago . Take each day as it comes...the good ones and the not so good ones .. You are blessed to see the world through Adams perspective.

So proud of you Manal ❤ may Allah protect your little ones

So inspiring of you to share with all of us and educating us. Both you parents are doing an amazing job Allahuma barik laha. May Allah swt reward you, Aameen ❤

We have the sweetest nephew who is autistic and Masha’Allah he is loved and an amazing human being. InshaAllah England has great structure developed to help him in his and your journey. May Allow swt bless your family

thanks for sharing I have been working with neurodiverse kids for about 10 years and early intervention is the best. May Allah continue to protect him

Just want you to know that I got so used to hear you say Allahuma Barik, anytime you mention Adam, it rolls of my tongue! I will inshaAllah ALWAYS praise God when seeing your children May Allah bless your family ❤
