what a beautiful child-and thank God for advocates with a good sense of humor such as yourself. The music is hilarious (and very cleverly speaks volumes). It truly goes to show how misunderstood these kids are. I am 100% on your team! Bravo, thank you, and all the best to you guys!
This was a beautiful video, and it's great that you are such a proud and responsible mother who loves her son for who he truly is! That is hard to find in a lot of parents these days, beautiful little boy!
oh my!! my son would line his toy cars on his big sisters dollhouse...the same one you have here lol! my son was recently diagnosed with autism and displays much of the same symptoms as your son, i really enjoyed this one. :)
This is stimming? o.o I've always thought it's normal behaviour in children. I used to run in circles or flap or clap my hands when I was a little girl and got overly happy. Sometimes I still flap or clap a bit, but that's when I'm over excited or very nervous. I'm not autistic, though. And I've seen a lot of kids stack stuff, or flap or run around. People who say "AWW!" when you tell them about Dominic are truly idiots... -w-U All kids are happy once in a while, they just show it differently.
@akissy Yep, 'normal' kids do those things too but the difference is how much they do it, like with Dominic when he was a toddler it was almost constant, rocking, flapping, etc, there do have to be other things present to though for a person to be classed as autistic, kind of like a checklist. Alot of people don't realise it's a spectrum and it can be incredibly mild, like I have aspergers. If you have some time look it up and read through the symptoms, you might find some similarities.
@polkadotpants Yep, I've been reading. My cousin specialized in Autistic children, but I haven't seen much of her (not that I get along very much with her anyways XDD), so I haven't been able to ask her about that. It poked my curiosity, because, as you say, this is "normal" behaviour in many children. I'll have to ask her though, because I like stuff being told to me, reading can get very confusing after a while XD
thank you for posting this . My son has ASD too and you video is brilliant . Stimming is nothing more than a more elaborate smile or frown.. I love my sons happy stims . xxx
My son David is 3 and has Autism and he acts the exact same. Thank you so much for putting up this video. God bless you and your precious wonderful perfect baby!!
Love this video. My Asperger's son is just like Dominic , same hair and all! Have you guys bought him a mini trampoline yet? It's a must! My son loves his mini-trampoline, stay ball, and yard trampoline. If you don't know yet, dieting is the number one treatment going. My son responds very well to dieting, some kids don't. Best of luck Dominic. Someday we're going to rule this world.

stimming as in stimulating. some autisics find that doing simple things like spinning objects, flapping their hands, humming, rocking, etc. etc. (there's so many actions that could be considered stimming so long as it "always happens when the person feels a certain way") helps them calm down, or concentrate when too much is going on; some do it as a way of showing their happiness - their natural reaction isn't smiling, like Dominic here in the video.
This is coming from the guy who has a swasdicker as his background? Seriously are you some little fat pale kid who weighs 20 stone sitting on the computer trying to act hard? Because your not fooling anyone... How pathetic
I remember when I used to stim, people do stare, and when my mom used to tell them, they did "Aww" also, I can appear quite hyperactive. I remember when on my 12th Birthday, I went to the cinema for the first time, to see "Enchanted", I got up and began bouncing and flapping and people started laughing. I sometimes pace the room etc. I flap at the slightest things.
I know it's easier said than done but try to ignore people that stare and are ignorant enough to laugh, it's a natural response to emotion and mood, those people who laughed at you are idiots; I don't understand their reaction to your flapping, it makes as much sense as us laughing at them for smiling when they are happy or crying when they are sad! I pace alot too, and tap, flap, rock, walk on tippy toes etc, and if they don't like it they can kiss my chuddies hehe ^^
I'm afraid it was on an old CD and the person who mixed it was listed as anonymous :S If you would really really like a copy of it and maybe some of the other songs on it just let me know and I'll see what I can sort out :)
I had a hard time understanding what autism was, because it's so rarely represented in popular media, and I could never grasp my Mom's explanations. I'm very much into Japanese manga (graphic novels), and I found one recently called "With the Light", which details a family raising an autistic son. The story is very enlightening, as well as entertaining. If you've never read manga before, don't let the culture differences and right-to-left format throw you off. Give it a try, and check a library.
Oh, and the manga was very popular in Japan, where autism is even more unfamiliar to the general public than the U.S. "With the Light" was also turned into an award-winning drama series, possibly the very first media portrayal of autism in Japan. I think about five volumes have been translated into English so far. If your local library doesn't have Japanese manga, you can get copies through Borders or Barnes and Nobles.
It's a short term for self stimulation, given to behaviours a person exhibits when they do something that seems obsessive or pointless because it feels good, eg: flapping, spinning, rocking, tip-toe walking, running in circles, feeling certain textures all excessively and repetitively - some of the things mentioned such as flapping, hand regarding and such can also be a sign that the person is happy, anxious, frustrated etc x
AWESOME video!!! I am sooo... tired of all of the sad austism videos that are out there.
I have a 2 1/2 year old autistic son.
I loved the beginning of the video, when you were moving his cars and he would move them back. I do the same thing with my son when we're playing. Sometimes I turn them around when he's not looking and it is amazing how fast he can spot it and correct it. lol.
I also have a son with Autism and for the longest time did not know why he was doing these things. I stopped going out with him, because I was afraid of the "tantrums" that where happening out of the blue. People still give me the looks, but these days I just smile.
hes like ur husband /partner - they both got pretty hair - hes giving the baby a kiss hes given ur partner a hug really i dont know what u think is wrong with him - hes a 3 year old 3 year olds do this sorts of thing - sorry if some of my other posts were a bit harsh but really the kids got aa baby in the house hes 3 he is still a baby and so he lines his car up and ??? If thre was something seriously wrong with him ppl wouldnt ask u they would point and stare - and stare
How old is your son? The reason I"m asking is because my 3.5 yr old is doing pretty much the same thing, the only thing he doesn't do is line up toys. I'm pretty positive he has autism 2, trying to get him diagnosed
also i srsly suggest getting him some aspie friends. i went to a highschool for autistic kids for last two years cause i was looking for a place where i could get high daily and never do homework and still get As cause basically half the school was autistic, 1/3 was like uber pothead, and about 1/6 was kicked out of legit school for threatening to go all cho somewhere else or something. Aspies struggle massively (socialy). they struggle with aspie friends in life too but not nearly as much.
Thanks for taking the time to comment <3 This vid is supposed to be a happy one - like 'yeah he's autistic, and what biatch he's still cool' :D Hope you're well x
xOxDonna2k8xOx's comments are a little childish and rather sadistic however i do agree with her that your son is spoilt. When a child has been diagnosed with autism or aspergers, a mother is being diagnosed as a failure. Try physical disiplin. It'll do wonders.
The tantrum videos of him on here show what happens when I allow him to do what he pleases with little challenge, as I've explained countless times to numerous idiots this was on his doctor's request hence his behaviour isn't constantly like that. The only person in need of physical disciplin here is you - In which case, have a glass of shut yer cake-hole, mind your own business and in the mean time, don't reproduce. Any reason your IP is the same as Donna's?
There was no need to be so rude, i was ignorant towards the doctors orders thing. I was going to apoligise but your apolling manners has persuaded me to do otherwise.
Donna drop it already, I'm beginning think you're mentally challenged....I don't follow everything the doctors say, sometimes a parent knows better than them, however it was in his best interest and obtained him a diagnosis. Feel free to kiss me chuddies. Multi accounters who spend all day putting people down cause they get chufties from their reactions are pathetic, I'm medically considered 'abnormal' and I still have better things to do! Would you like somebody to spend time with honey? x
Yeah, like i waste my entire life putting people down on youtube. Honey i come across 100's of videos a day and the ones that waste my time recieve not so nice comments. How dare you call me mentally challenged. Don't write back to me.
How dare I? With ease I assure you - If you consider a particular video a waste of time simply stop watching duhhhhh - and find something you consider pleasurable, of use or entertaining, like how to apply so many coats of mascara your eyes look like they're lined with spider legs like baby-fingers and take pouty pictures at a jaunty angle... You're a model loooool! For what? Council-estate chic magazine?!
Do you ever shut up. I'm a glamour model/page 3 girl. I don't watch your videos everytime i comment back to you. Just stop fucking writing back to me. If that's so hard then eigther you have no life or are mentally challenged yourself.
Glamour?! Oh wow I know what glomorous is and you're not it - I'd say trashy Barbie wannabe at best; but then I don't suppose the sort ofmen who look at your pictures are much bothered how classy or tasteful you look, not when they're oggling your puppies! My sides are literally aching! Tip, if commenting in the first place gets you unwanted replies, don't do so in the first place, or is that above your capacity? XD
Glomorous ? I think you mean Glamorous. ??? Yes i am glamorous. I'm a beautiful yet tasteful lady who catches the eyes of many men. I, unlike you don't let my kid interfere with my life. I don't know why you are being such a rude bitch but i can assure you it's only giving me a good laugh. And the fact you continue to reply just shows me how unmotivated your life is. If your vid wasted my time i'm entitled to say so. I don't need to listen to your untrue replies.
First typo in the whole of our history compared to how many of yours - Oh boy do you have a warped sense of glamour! I certainly don't call caking yourself in poorly applied make-up glam - and as for the amount of 'men' you attract, there may well be many, but then they're not exactly the type I would want whacking away over me honey! Sweaty, perverted and who's highlight of the day is some tactless tart with her knockers out in a newspaper - what talent lol, IF that is in fact what you do XD
both of you must be mentally challenged. Would someone explain what you morons are fighting about please. Im sorry i called you morons but what is your deal.
You know nothing about me or what i do. Are you this bitchy towards everyone ?. At least i have a life. I cringe at the thought of being a full time mum. Omg imagine being that boring. Lol how silly of me you don't need to imagine.
I know enough about you to know that you have several accounts from which you launch verbal assaults on various users, your favourite choice being autistic children and their parents, you are a habitual liar, essentialy a sadistic fantasist most likely dis-satified with some aspect of where you are in life, creating yourself the kind of persona one can only assume you are a poisonous little slapper by, whose sole aspiration is to parade her chest for a living giving no thought to where she...
may be when she looks haggard, who IF has a child has not thought she could both bond with AND work, but then that would require a brain cell. I'm quite sure I know you enough to believe you are an attention seeking child, younger than 20 who lives on a council estate, hasn't any more than a handful of GSCE's of notably low grade and has too much time on her hands to dish out venom to people just going about their business; in short 'Donna'-kins, I know you very, very well :)
And i have a far bigger brain than you dear. You're the one missing half a cell. I don't want any more trouble. I just want to get on with my life. Honestly why, because of one comment are you warning people off me. Also i don't want to be seen as a devoted parent. I'd rather be seen as a devoted model. I don't like the idea of being a frumpy old cow with a baby ruining my life. If you do good for you. Leave me alone. God you're fucking nuts.
Trying to prove your inteligence and making yourself look EVEN more dumb, priceless! - I said you have half a brain-cell and you assume the missing amount is just another half?! That would still only make one! One comment? Leave you alone? A few on mine and AutismNet's, those are just the ones I know about so you can stop playing the victim :P It's okay though, they're all copied down with details and have a very good purpose ^^ If you go down to the woods today, la la la la la la laaaa!
I'd have loved to have made her look even more dumb! But she deleted her account and ran away - it's like she assumed I'd just lie down and take her shit! XD
Great, I love it. It's great to see a more postive image. I can't stand all this saddness around Autism. My son is so happy it was only the label he was given that made me sad. He is still the same lad.
Thankyou, really glad you enjoyed it - it's great to get feedback from someone who has a similar oppinion on the matter :) Best wishes to you and your family too - I'm mum :P x
Ah, yes! In all the world, there isn't anything quite so beautiful as a happy Autistic child! (P.S. Don't listen to Chris and Donna. They are like the millions of therapists and psychiatrists that try to normalize the behaviors, and they don't get the message that you're simply trying to teach your son self-acceptance.)
Why thank you! But don't you realise that coming from someone twice as dumb as any of my offspring, the sentiment is lost there? Ah bless, 10 out of 10 for effort honey-buns, I wuvs you too yesh I do! :)
I'm gunna kill you if you don't stop makin' a twat of me bitch. You don't know who you're messin' wiv do you so i'd keep shtum if i were you and maybe leave youtube and all bye now.
Let's face it sweetie it's not exactly hard to do :)Oh please, like I'm afraid of the likes of you?! I quake in my bondage boots! - Just in case you didn't realise, that's what we call sarcasm, big word eh? Nevermind; keep at it and I'm sure you'll get it at some point ;) x
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know what you're doin; hunni. Sarcasm i've heard of before. I'm not retarded like your son. PS Nevermind i'm sure you know isn't one word you fat ginger lez.
Thnx 4 warning me about this video showing footage of a happy autistic child. I'd rather see your child burn in a bath a boiling acid then when you take him out you peal off his skin and make him eat it. Autistic people do not deserve to be happy.
i love this video. i see many repetetive behaviors and stimming that my two younger brothers [ who have autism do]. like the running around in circles and lining things up. On of my brother is 9 years old and developmentally is around 6. But he is in a special day program at his school. the programis for Autistic children. and he is the top of his class. he is very smart and they are now letting him be in a normal kindergarten class [i think] for two hours a day. my other brother is 7 years old
and he is developmentally around 3 1/2 to four years old. he goes to a school for autistic children and is finally going to the bathroom independently. every time he has a bm in the toilet he get's ice cream. it's like a reinforcer to show him that if he goes he'll get something good in return. we even cheer for him. we are so happy when he goes in the toilet because just a year ago we were often changing his pull-ups. i'm very proud of my brothers and all their accomplishments. i hope your son
I love this vid! I love your approach. BTW...My son also does the same thing when I move his cars out of line! No meltdown about it, he just has to put it back where it was.
I know its sporadic and there is nothing to do with any family history, but I just wanna ask; is there inter-marriages in the family or other family members with any developmental disorder other than the Rett Syndrome in the little cutie ??
Hiya love, there are no inter-marriages that I'm aware of but it has recently come to light that there may be a family history - I found out that I had several Asperger's traits from the age of 6-7, though the problems I have now are not liking to be touched / have somebody in my personal space, sensory overload at certain sounds and trouble maintaining eye contact. It wasn't until my mum told me what I was like as a child that I made the connection. Nice to meet you by the way :)
my son does A LOT of these same things and everyone that does his assesments keeps telling me it's not autism. But I have researched and looked into it, and it is EXACTLY like autism... I am getting frustrated. They say he needs to be evaluated by someone at the Mental Clinic..... so annoying
Hiya love, I know it's really frustrating, especially when you consider that you know your son better than ANY doctor! Just try not to feel disheartened as regular doctors don't actually have the power to diagnose, only a psychologist. Sadly the evaluations are a big part of the process, though don't confuse psychologist with psychiatrist, the first is clinical/physical and the second is purely mental. They may possibly have stated mental clinic as sometimes the two professions work in the (cont
Same building as sometimes somebody with a physical brain disorder, such as autism can sometimes also be mentally retarded as in Dominic's case. The best advice I can probably give you is to video document your son and show these videos to the psychologist or even psychologists. Another thing to remember is they will be looking at three key areas of his developement; Social, Language and imagination/understanding. People on the spectrum are often described as having the triad of impairment (cont
Thank you so much for the encouragement and information. Well, my son scores very high with his physical and mental abilities. But his language (given he is 31 mths) scores at 5mths for receptive. He can have a car in his hand and know what it is, can point to it and label it, but if you ask him "Caiden what are you holding?"
He can't answer you. However, if you give him commands, "Caiden, help your sister; go get your shoes" etc he can do that very well. But answering and holding conversations he cannot do. He is in speech to help bring about his language. The ironic thing is he had a very good vocab before he was 18 mths then suddenly it stopped and he reverted. (I had 2 more children)
But unlike most kids who bounce back after siblings are added, he digressed more to where his sister out talks him (19mths) Anyway, thanks again for the encouragement. And I will look into having his evaluation done by a psychologist... Thanks! :)
This is a good video.. We also have an autistic son. He is a Handsome 16 year old now and in the past i have had many an argument with people who snicker in public when he stims. Though most people are very nice and understand..
One of the most embarrasing moments was several years ago in Arbys when Marc helped himself to another little boys chicken nuggets! fortunaly, the mother understood, she had an autistic child at home too!
Hello again madam! Glad you like it, I love your recent vids (he's grown so much!)and Dominic does too - but his favourite is still Thomas shouting alot, he sits there grinning and shouts his name too, usually flapping excitedly or bringing his hands beside his head, I think I have a video of that somewhere... making this video involved alot of chasing on my part - though only to keep up with him, other than documentation for his doctors I wouldn't film if he wasn't ok with it :) x
Thanks honey! To be hosest it's hard not to smile, we get some great support for our little dude; I liked the Tee idea too, though now when Dominic gets unwanted attention he lets them know, usually by pulling faces hehe :)
Hehe, I saw a really cool sticker the other day that should be the slogan for this video - it's not Autism... It's Awe-tism! Though as mums, we already know that :) Thanks for watching, I enjoyed your videos too!
thanks for posting this...i love it, and i love your take on it all..you are sooooo right when you said what he needs are the skills to communicate, patience and acceptance
Cheers for watching love :) Of course if you banish your expectations, every progress can be felt as the sweetest triumph. I try to tell myself that baby steps are steps at least, and that even if by age 5 he is at the same developmental stage he is now, at least things won't be any harder. Positivity is so easy to find amongst such brilliant people like you!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, this video is my way of showing how Dominic can smile in so many ways other than with his face :) I absolutely love your multisensory video, I don't know his name but seeing such a beautiful heartfelt smile really made my day! Hope you're well x Laura x
I laughed at the beginning of the video when you would move one of his cars and he would immediatly move it back in line, my son is the same way. He doesn't get mad, he just moves it back. Does he like to jump? My son is an expert at jumping on the trampoline. Thank you for sharing.
Hiya, luckily he didn't get mad that time but usually such a bold move as interferring with his play entails what we call super meltdowns! He also does it with things like eye contact when he doesn't want it - it's sometimes hard to know what he will 'allow' but we just take each day as it comes :) I'm really glad it gave you a giggle, I love it when people can see him how I do. He loves to jump too! He can go for hours bouncing around on the bed, the fact I run frantically around trying (cont)
to catch him only adds to his pleasure hehe. He also does what we call the frog hop, I'll be posting some videos of him doing it sometime this week, it's amazing just how much energy he has! Chad and Adrian are gorgeous, my favourite bit of your video is when Chad is napping on the couch, a familiar sight in our home :) Thanks for watching x
You're welcome :) So funny you should say that about frog hopping in the bath , Dominic does the same thing, usually because the echo in our bathroom excites him. Very cute but it drives me mad having to dive this way and that to keep him from having a bump. Having said that I suppose it keeps me fit :)
Hi there, congrats on such a wonderful approach! Many people get so uptight about the subject. Happiness and a great sense of humor are what make life wonderful. The tantrums can be hell but the smiles and laughter are pure heaven.
My son is a happy child too. I could relate to the lining up of the race cars. But now he wants LOTS of vacuums and fans! yikes!
Thanks for posting. By the way, you have a beautiful son with such a great smile! I love his tippy toe walk!
Thank you so much, it's lovely to hear such positivity from someone in a similar situation :) If anything the hard times only better define the good, and although his smiles are getting rarer, its taught us to appreciate them more. I hope for your money's sake you mean the small handheld fans! Hehe, at the moment Dom is obsessed with computer games, car engines, web addresses and telephone numbers. cont
I watched your video on autism and it was brilliant, your son is such a handsome looking boy! - He looks so exuberant :) Their lust for life is beautiful. Best wishes to you and your family x Laura x
My son is nine he has autism and is non verbal ..my son just loives carry boxes of ladies incontinant pads everywhere ..some of the look we get are truely funny !
Thanks, when people look at Dominic with a raised brow I join in with whatever he's doing to attract that attention - I may look silly but the look on his face is just magical!
brilliant! lovely kid, great message, made me laugh - video is going into the Posautive Youtube group and kids subgroup - lots more to enjoy in there...
what a beautiful child-and thank God for advocates with a good sense of humor such as yourself. The music is hilarious (and very cleverly speaks volumes). It truly goes to show how misunderstood these kids are. I am 100% on your team! Bravo, thank you, and all the best to you guys!

I know it's easier said than done but try to ignore people that stare and are ignorant enough to laugh, it's a natural response to emotion and mood, those people who laughed at you are idiots; I don't understand their reaction to your flapping, it makes as much sense as us laughing at them for smiling when they are happy or crying when they are sad! I pace alot too, and tap, flap, rock, walk on tippy toes etc, and if they don't like it they can kiss my chuddies hehe ^^

I had a hard time understanding what autism was, because it's so rarely represented in popular media, and I could never grasp my Mom's explanations. I'm very much into Japanese manga (graphic novels), and I found one recently called "With the Light", which details a family raising an autistic son. The story is very enlightening, as well as entertaining. If you've never read manga before, don't let the culture differences and right-to-left format throw you off. Give it a try, and check a library.

Oh, and the manga was very popular in Japan, where autism is even more unfamiliar to the general public than the U.S. "With the Light" was also turned into an award-winning drama series, possibly the very first media portrayal of autism in Japan. I think about five volumes have been translated into English so far. If your local library doesn't have Japanese manga, you can get copies through Borders or Barnes and Nobles.

what is stimming
queenbie3 2 years ago
It's a short term for self stimulation, given to behaviours a person exhibits when they do something that seems obsessive or pointless because it feels good, eg: flapping, spinning, rocking, tip-toe walking, running in circles, feeling certain textures all excessively and repetitively - some of the things mentioned such as flapping, hand regarding and such can also be a sign that the person is happy, anxious, frustrated etc x

AWESOME video!!! I am sooo... tired of all of the sad austism videos that are out there.
I have a 2 1/2 year old autistic son.
I loved the beginning of the video, when you were moving his cars and he would move them back. I do the same thing with my son when we're playing. Sometimes I turn them around when he's not looking and it is amazing how fast he can spot it and correct it. lol.
hsmith672 2 years ago
I also have a son with Autism and for the longest time did not know why he was doing these things. I stopped going out with him, because I was afraid of the "tantrums" that where happening out of the blue. People still give me the looks, but these days I just smile.

How old is your son? The reason I"m asking is because my 3.5 yr old is doing pretty much the same thing, the only thing he doesn't do is line up toys. I'm pretty positive he has autism 2, trying to get him diagnosed

also i srsly suggest getting him some aspie friends. i went to a highschool for autistic kids for last two years cause i was looking for a place where i could get high daily and never do homework and still get As cause basically half the school was autistic, 1/3 was like uber pothead, and about 1/6 was kicked out of legit school for threatening to go all cho somewhere else or something. Aspies struggle massively (socialy). they struggle with aspie friends in life too but not nearly as much.

xOxDonna2k8xOx's comments are a little childish and rather sadistic however i do agree with her that your son is spoilt. When a child has been diagnosed with autism or aspergers, a mother is being diagnosed as a failure. Try physical disiplin. It'll do wonders.
CaseyBaybee09x 3 years ago
The tantrum videos of him on here show what happens when I allow him to do what he pleases with little challenge, as I've explained countless times to numerous idiots this was on his doctor's request hence his behaviour isn't constantly like that. The only person in need of physical disciplin here is you - In which case, have a glass of shut yer cake-hole, mind your own business and in the mean time, don't reproduce. Any reason your IP is the same as Donna's?

Donna drop it already, I'm beginning think you're mentally challenged....I don't follow everything the doctors say, sometimes a parent knows better than them, however it was in his best interest and obtained him a diagnosis. Feel free to kiss me chuddies.

Glamour?! Oh wow I know what glomorous is and you're not it - I'd say trashy Barbie wannabe at best; but then I don't suppose the sort ofmen who look at your pictures are much bothered how classy or tasteful you look, not when they're oggling your puppies!

may be when she looks haggard, who IF has a child has not thought she could both bond with AND work, but then that would require a brain cell. I'm quite sure I know you enough to believe you are an attention seeking child, younger than 20 who lives on a council estate, hasn't any more than a handful of GSCE's of notably low grade and has too much time on her hands to dish out venom to people just going about their business; in short 'Donna'-kins, I know you very, very well :)

And i have a far bigger brain than you dear. You're the one missing half a cell. I don't want any more trouble. I just want to get on with my life. Honestly why, because of one comment are you warning people off me. Also i don't want to be seen as a devoted parent. I'd rather be seen as a devoted model. I don't like the idea of being a frumpy old cow with a baby ruining my life. If you do good for you. Leave me alone. God you're fucking nuts.

Trying to prove your inteligence and making yourself look EVEN more dumb, priceless! - I said you have half a brain-cell and you assume the missing amount is just another half?!

On of my brother is 9 years old and developmentally is around 6. But he is in a special day program at his school. the programis for Autistic children. and he is the top of his class. he is very smart and they are now letting him be in a normal kindergarten class [i think] for two hours a day. my other brother is 7 years old
imsoboredimadethis 3 years ago
and he is developmentally around 3 1/2 to four years old. he goes to a school for autistic children and is finally going to the bathroom independently. every time he has a bm in the toilet he get's ice cream. it's like a reinforcer to show him that if he goes he'll get something good in return. we even cheer for him. we are so happy when he goes in the toilet because just a year ago we were often changing his pull-ups. i'm very proud of my brothers and all their accomplishments. i hope your son

Hiya love, there are no inter-marriages that I'm aware of but it has recently come to light that there may be a family history - I found out that I had several Asperger's traits from the age of 6-7, though the problems I have now are not liking to be touched / have somebody in my personal space, sensory overload at certain sounds and trouble maintaining eye contact. It wasn't until my mum told me what I was like as a child that I made the connection. Nice to meet you by the way :)

my son does A LOT of these same things and everyone that does his assesments keeps telling me it's not autism. But I have researched and looked into it, and it is EXACTLY like autism... I am getting frustrated. They say he needs to be evaluated by someone at the Mental Clinic..... so annoying
jellatin124 3 years ago
Hiya love, I know it's really frustrating, especially when you consider that you know your son better than ANY doctor! Just try not to feel disheartened as regular doctors don't actually have the power to diagnose, only a psychologist. Sadly the evaluations are a big part of the process, though don't confuse psychologist with psychiatrist, the first is clinical/physical and the second is purely mental. They may possibly have stated mental clinic as sometimes the two professions work in the (cont
polkadotpants 3 years ago
Same building as sometimes somebody with a physical brain disorder, such as autism can sometimes also be mentally retarded as in Dominic's case. The best advice I can probably give you is to video document your son and show these videos to the psychologist or even psychologists. Another thing to remember is they will be looking at three key areas of his developement; Social, Language and imagination/understanding. People on the spectrum are often described as having the triad of impairment (cont
polkadotpants 3 years ago
Thank you so much for the encouragement and information. Well, my son scores very high with his physical and mental abilities. But his language (given he is 31 mths) scores at 5mths for receptive. He can have a car in his hand and know what it is, can point to it and label it, but if you ask him "Caiden what are you holding?"
jellatin124 3 years ago
He can't answer you. However, if you give him commands, "Caiden, help your sister; go get your shoes" etc he can do that very well. But answering and holding conversations he cannot do. He is in speech to help bring about his language. The ironic thing is he had a very good vocab before he was 18 mths then suddenly it stopped and he reverted. (I had 2 more children)
jellatin124 3 years ago
But unlike most kids who bounce back after siblings are added, he digressed more to where his sister out talks him (19mths) Anyway, thanks again for the encouragement. And I will look into having his evaluation done by a psychologist... Thanks! :)

This is a good video.. We also have an autistic son. He is a Handsome 16 year old now and in the past i have had many an argument with people who snicker in public when he stims. Though most people are very nice and understand..

Hiya, luckily he didn't get mad that time but usually such a bold move as interferring with his play entails what we call super meltdowns!
