Infantile Autism: A day of therapy

[jthekiller111]

My little step brother is worse :(

He is much older too...

[multisnootylives1]

she is a complete retard!

[jthekiller111]

@multisnootylives1 Shut up. She has autism.....

[whatthefukisthis]

Here's my advice..... BIG FUCKING DEAL!!! There's nothing wrong with your kid. So she looks to the side, SO FUCKING WHAT!!!!

How much money are you scamming from us taxpayers?

[EaSiCerulVerde]

did you have a visit to a mental specialists? some drugs decrease attention deficit and these difficulties of maintaining her look to a specific area...

[carol3hawks]

My autistic son is 33 and has done this all his life. I believe they see things we do not

[wwefancmpunk1]

lucky she doesnt look like it

[Smallcherokeegirl08]

Have you asked her doctor about turrets syndrome? Some kids have that with or without autism. The eyes seems to remeind me a whole lot of people with turrets. Please get it checked out because there are things they can do to help stop that, and it may actually help her learn more with her autism, if the turrets syndrom gets under control. Please give it a shot. It may help and it is sure worth it to find out. It may help her to focus more. I am just suggesting this. I hope it helps. Good luck!

My daughter does the same visual stims

[CubbbieTown]

Also look at the high fives, she only does it to hear the tap, tap, tap, tap. She is absolutely fascinated by sounds and is more aware of them than the average person her age.

[CubbbieTown]

She is fascinated by sound. She taps the cards three times, but the taps increase. It mimics the sounds of the plastic toys she drops on the ground. She is fascinated by the rapid tap, tap, tap on the wood. She could use a small electronic keyboard with headphones for her to listen to herself play the keys.

[momofxantyce]

How is your daughter doing now?? Sideways glance typically means chronically low Vit. A levels. Try giving her cod liver oil. Are you seeing a DAN dr????

[gamiezion]

actually, autistics always have a different way of looking outwards.

go do some research on autism before making phoney suggestions.

[momofxantyce]

Oh, yes, you are right. Documented research from my son's developmental pediatrician, college professor, professional speaker, and researcher of issues with low Vit. A in "autistic" kids. Ever wonder "WHY" "autistics always have a different way of looking outwards?" That is a generalized statement. I have no reason to make "phoney suggestion." This is not a funny matter here and I am not selling anything for God's sakes! Our dr's name is Mary Megson. YOU do the research. I already have.

[gamiezion]

um im autistic myself?

i think i always and always will know better then you, because i AM a first hand source.

all you have is 2nd, or even 3rd hand accounts.

so really, who do you think you're fooling by pretending you know better huh?

oh and i dont care if you are or arent selling products.

all i ever claimed you were selling bullshit.

which you seem to have a good offer in.

[momofxantyce]

Ok, I am confused. So, we are both saying that people on the spectrum can have eye issus. Yes, you experience the symptoms, but do you know how this can be corrected? Have you researched this. It is unnecessary to call someone phoney who is trying to help someone. Proven documented research that children have completely lost the "sideways glance" after starting Vit. A. The rods/cones behind the eyes are damaged in many ASD people. My son is about to lose his diagnosis.Please do medical research.

[gamiezion]

having autism means i have to do little to new research into effects stuff has on an autistics body.

mainly because ive tried it myself.

anyway, you are phoney for trying to tell me how people like me and i are meant to react to something.

tell me, do you assume the same with others?

[momofxantyce]

I am sorry but I don't understand your point. So people should "just deal with it" and not ever try to correct something? In many health conditions, people do new research all the time to try and help relieve symptoms and correct the human body. It HAS worked for us and many others. Nothing will work for everyone. I try to help people because it helped my son. I could be doing other "phoney" things..instead I am trying to "pay it forward" because I care. I'm done.

[gamiezion]

you were done before you started.

my point is that you cant assume to know something when you dont.

i know food/vitamins/glutens/whatever else you can think off has no convievable effect on autism, or they someone with autism "glances side words".

i know this, because i know why i look side ways and as such i know why other autistics look side ways, it has nothing whatsoever to do with oure bodies.

[IstanbulRider]

@momofxantyce I totally agree with you.

I have a 3 year old girl with autism. Our pediatrician told us us NOT to try GFCF foods, there is no recovery, and we would have to live with it. We prefered to give it a try anyway (what could we lose?) and saw great results. Please check out my videos, before and after changing her diet. Cheers.

[AJboy700]

@gamiezion sorry, just to say, you may actually know more about autism thanks to the fact that you yourself may have experienced it. You may know why you glance at the side etc, but that doesnt mean that you will know more than everyone else when it comes to autism. Many different people have many different characteristics and different issues, some of these which you may not have come across and the oil that the other mensioned does effect the brain, it helps with concentration its not phoney

[gamiezion]

@AJboy700 *sigh* is the fisherman not most knowledgable anout fishing? is the logger not most knowledgable about logging? is a chess player not most knowledgable about playing chess?

answer me this and realise what you have just said ;)

[AJboy700]

@gamiezion i don't even know how to answer this xD but the fisherman isn't i suppose. he may be more knowledgable about than the person who isnt a fisherman, but he isnt more knowlegable than the chess player, the chess player plays sumthing different and the fisherman does something different, i get what ur saying though, but this doesnt comprehend with what i said about different types of characteristics of autism,

[AJboy700]

@gamiezion the fisherman may be the best at catching a hemming with regular bait but he may not know how to catch a whale or something like that xD (i hope that makes sense because i didnt actually think before i said that xD) either way you are making it hard for me to prove my point !!! xD

[AJboy700]

@gamiezion i have no idea what its like to be autistic, so perhaps as a first hand source you will have more knowledge on what you've been through but i don't think autism acts on its own, it also acts with ur personality, thats what i may think which may be wrong so forgive me but, say if u had a stubborn personallity, wouldnt u stay attached to being like that, and say if someone else who was autistic had a adamant or shy personality, doesnt the same process sychronise that way?

[wmaurice50]

She is so sweet that she is autistic

[mustang19898]

I have known and worked with Autistic children who have seizures. However, if an EEG came back normal, she is probably stimming. I have Asperger's Syndrome and do the same thing. When I get overstimulated, I look away at maybe a spot on the wall or at nothing in particular at all. It helps filter out the overstimulation.

[simo2017]

è bellissima..

[Mousegirl913]

Your daughter is adorable! My mom works with Autistic children and I just find then all adorable =D

[anet32147]

ps. You say: 'Give me 5.' Auties cannot understand literal sayings. Limit the words you use, and keep things simple. Best advice I ever got. Good luck.

[anet32147]

My daughter Erin does something similar. She glances sideways, and often peers through her fingers. This causes her vision to be distorted,thus'blocking'visual stimuli. This makes it easier for her to concentrate on the task that she is doing. Remember, Auties find it difficult to do various tasks at once. Looking through the fingers is called 'Finger perplexia'

[Duchessyork]

I am sorry I somehow missed that you already knew of the Autistic feature. Ok, there is another common thing I have seen, in my son, and in my niece when they were young...I have seen this. I say this truly, from the Lord, I believe she sees Angels. Have you ever asked her, what she is looking at? If I'm repeating a question, I am sorry. But as I look again, she looks like she is LOOKING at SOMETHING. Autistics are very spiritually sensitive and under SPECIAL protection, of God. BLESSINGS.

[adrishelton]

Mi son does a similar movement whit his eyes, but he moves them faster...we thought there were seizures, but doctors said there were stimming...a neurologist tested him and he didnt found seizures

a big hug to your princess

[ireneleal17]

We took her recently to get an EEG and everything came back normal. She does not show in the brain scanning that she is having any type of seizures. Yes she INFANTILE AUTISM so our fight continues. Thanks to all and god bless.

[heike1a2b3c]

I think it is just her thinking (Should I do it). My son is almost 5 now & he does that when he is asked a task that he thinks is too 'babyish' or that has done before. He will look away like that and then regroup and do it for the sake of doing it. In the video, she surely looks like she can do the task very easily but just does not want to do it. Afterall, unless she has mental retardation, that type of task comes very easily to an autistic person. Motivation is another thing.

[Duchessyork]

In my opinion, there's a lot more to be concerned about in the video, than just that "look".  She's way too quiet during this time; her need to "tap" each piece first; her lack of interaction with her mom and lack of response to her; her interest in the noise the other toys make; her pause at approx 2:07 followed by the "squint" at 2:13. My son has Asperger's and though I'm not sure from what I see here I do think, something is going on.

[xdisax]

it says in the description that she has autism, so that kind of behaviour probably isn't unusal for her

[lookyouabigailkriby]

how old she now

[ireneleal17]

She is 4 still.

[lookyouabigailkriby]

im 13 and is me bethday in octber 11

[kazza224]

could be a seizure am no dr but could just be her thinking,when people think there eyes sometimes go up towards the left or the right

[Tictionary]

Interesting. It could be an absence seizure, stimming or a tic. That's not to say it might be something else though.

[TheElliottFamily]

Hi, Irene! First of all...you ahve beautiful little girl who appears to be doing very well. I have to agree with Benedict. She appears to be doing some kind of visual stimming, or possibly some typical 'spacing out' that is often seen. I would, however, suggest an MRI - not only to rule out anything medical, but to also ease your mind. Thanks for sharing! -John

[ireneleal17]

Thank you so much for your advise. I feel sometimes we as parents are the only ones that will fight for our special kids. Sadly the only way to get some sort of info. or answers is to record them and show the proof to our Dr.'s. Thanks so much...bless your family.

[BenedictC]

nah, its very unlikely to be seizures, she must just be doing it for self stimulatory matters
