  • Half the time the kid does not even have autism. Many parents want their child to be so-called diagnosed with it, so that they can get money from the state and stay home. And do not call me crazy. Because I know women that wanted to get a disability check here in CA. plus all the other benefit's,because they wanted to stay home and not work. They live with their boyfriends and do not tell the state,or they would lose there money and housing.There are a ton of women doing this.

  • There are so many levels and kinds of autisim that no 2 children are alike. I have 2 grandsons, (brothers), with autism and they both show differently. One is non verbal but very smart. The other is verbal but not up to the level of other kids his age. He can talk and say what he wants but doesnt understand simple commands and doesnt know his colors or numbers. He is 5. His brother is 3 and not only knows his colors but knows his numbers as well. He cant tell you but he can show you.

  • I have Asperger's, I do not feel its devasting. I have a job, drive, and going to college. you have a lot of nerve to say that autism is a problem that causes divorce. As for my "repatative and bizzare" stimming behaviors thats used to gain access to my world. In my world I'm not shunned n frowned upon. You know what? I'm happy that my imgination will never die, I can memorize number, and love science. I wouldn't cure my autism if I could! Maybe I find eye contact "bizzare" ever considered that?

  • @TheTayTalks your doing better than me, I find it hard learning to drive and I don't have autism.

  • @pugwash84 I still don't like driving lol

  • @xithbaby Nothing to do with drugs used during labour. I have one child, who has a diagnosis of ASD. NO DRUGS were ever used by me during the pregnancy and labour. Not even so much as a cough drop! I was paranoid about all that stuff harming Baby.

    People need to stop feeling like those with ASD need sympathy or compassion. From what I can tell, they really don't see what the big deal is. This vid makes it sound like a death sentence. It isn't!!

    - Proud to be a parent to a child with Autism!

  • You make it sound like a disease. It's not a disease it's a way of thinking differently, you see things differently, and you develop differently. I have it and I just learned to deal with it.

  • since when bitch since when?

  • I don't see why they use the word "risk" for autism.

    It's not like it's some infectious disease that hinders health.

  • autistic children are so special yes they have their quiet ways but if you take time and let them show you their way they grow much faster in confedence. My grandson has it, we find short talk like coat for shopping instaed of a story about why you need the coat, saying i love you darling your so clever it does help them. Parents fall apart when they dont let other family members help out to let them get a day out by themselfs to keep the marriage alive dont try to do it all by yourselfs

  • my neighbors have an autistic boy, they divorced because the husband cheated cause he was a dick or maybe his wife was a fatass to begin with but they never blamed the boy and have 2 other kids who are normal, autism is just a lack of communication,eye contact and abstract behavior, dosent mean there fucking stupid! so this video is a bit off with the facts

  • This needs removed. FUCK THAT BITCH. sorry. my son is my greatest joy. hes taught me patience, compassion, and to find joy in simple everyday things.

  • @n0x524 my oldest was diagnosed with AS last year. I always knew - but he is super intelligent and somehow managed to mask it. I would like to agree with you - my son taught me how to be a parent and every day,even as a teenager, brings something new. mostly acceptance and tolerance, on a funny note, we always just thought he was eccentric and odd like the rest of us lol. he's a great kid.

  • @n0x524 - actually it's your comment which needs to be removed! If you can't say what you need to say without using language as appalling as yours, don't say it.

  • I hate to say this but parents of a child with any disablity are more likely to divorce. It's not just autism. I hate when people generalize.

  • You can get a free screening test on-line at ISMYCHILDDELAYED. My son passed the test, but has a 50% speech delay.

  • its not devistating :O

    omg thats hurtfull to us

  • @nakita13williams it could be devastating to some families. not being able to communicate or know what their child is thinking. maybe not being able to see them do certain things. it wasn't meant to be hurtful i am sure.

  • @loufromlou that lady is still horrible :(

  • @nakita13williams yeah i agree though. she definitely made it sound like people with autism ruin marriages, and are kind of a nuisance. you are right. she could have been more optimistic about it. people are born with all sorts of difficulties but you just have to do the best you can to help them lead a "normal" life. it doesn't have to be devastating if you have a good attitude about it.

  • @loufromlou she makes it sound like we were a mistake if she was my mam then....

  • @nakita13williams I am sorry. You were certainly not a mistake. Everyone has a purpose here. All life is beautiful and has meaning. Sorry she hurt your feelings.

  • @loufromlou its ok she probably didnt mean it but she could of thought about it before she spoke but i forgive her

  • Actually, some recent study found that parents of autistic kids are no more likely to get divorced.

    As far as checklists are concerned, the M-CHAT is better validated than the CHAT mentioned in this video. Also, some autistic kids do point at objects... but rarely if ever point at something just to share their interest (e.g. at an elephant walking down the street - they might stare at it, but won't point to show their parents, when normal kids would be "mommy, elephant!").

  • my son has a diagnosis of autism and has since 18 months and still fails this screening now at 24 months but has changed leaps and bounds with therapy over the last 6 months. I took my son in at 9 months noticing something wasn't right. I am glad I didn't listen to family who told me it was all normal.

  • My son passed his Autism screening at age 1 1/2 from his doctor, then he was diagnosed with Autism at age 3. You bet I am mad at his doctor. And, maybe all the damn vaccines he had to get for school messed him up.

  • @MySonHasAutism: Unfortunately, screening is never going to be 100%. An autistic child can behave identically to comparable neurotypical children for 5 minutes, and pass a screening. It is also extremely doubtful that a vaccine would cause this autism- Autism can remain relatively dormant for years. This is why many doctors use the PDD-NOS label until around age 5.

  • I would think it has to do more with the medications they give you while you go into labor, it seems pregnancy is now a "In-out" procedure.. I had my daughter and I had to REFUSE it. They wanted to give me all sorts of stuff, some of it I didnt even know what it was. I had a drug free birth, like it should be. My daughter is healthy 100% :)

  • Comment removed

  • @josecitoperecito That is very true my cousin has mild autism and he is 3 but let me tell you he can get on the computer watch thomas on youtube on by him self and he can go on games for kids

  • Sorry, but my daughter has moderate autism and is nonverbal, relies on grunts, screams and signlanguage to communicate. To have a screening to see if the child points or looks at what another is pointing at is rediculous, in my opinion, because my daughter points, is very intelligent, and if asked on a picture graph where something is she will point at it. She is three now, and that I can remember she has always pointed. Everyone is different and presents differently.

  • there are gifts with it as well,

  • Devistating? For who? Not the Autistic Child... We are just fine thanks!

  • @nagaempress I think the use of the word devastating is meant as an expression regarding the inability of the child to recognize or show affection. (Not saying that's every case)

  • @Stephernova I take devastating to mean devastating as in "The end of the world" I have 4 Autistic kids its not devastating just challenging.

  • this is truly the best!

    -med student-

  • If only other countries could follow this example..

    Med. student aswell.

  • Thank you! This is the best info out there for a worried mother. The example of the doc doing the screening was invaluable.

  • thanks.
