God bless all parents who have children with some sort of disability (Mental illnessI/medical), I have worked with them all in school systems, & lets not forget the Para's
Children under 2 years old are very sensitive to their mother's/parents subconscious state. They pick up any stress, material desire, pride, fear and etc. from their mom. What are the consequences? Autism, depression, violence and etc later on. Change within, your inner impression of the world, accept self forgiveness, love and your children will get better. And stop vaccines before they are 2 years old. the immune system is still developing-let it take its natural course...!
mercury is linked to autism!!! dont eat too much fish, especially tuna, swordfish, or dolphin... its very bad, mercury does neurological damage, and it is not treatable!!! this scares me because there is so many more autistic kids and ones with down syndrome than there was....... i believe most of it is linked to too much mercury. dont tempt fate dont eat fish.... if you dont believe me go to gotmercury,com it lets you see what your mercury intake is from the fish that you eat/.....
Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your family life and sharing such wonderful pictures and a wonderful video. I am a father of an 11 year old son who is also autistic. He is asperger's and is very bright. You have a beautiful family.
Thank you for posting a video about your son. Being a father of an Autistic child I love to see things like this. And i like to see people doing things in a positive way for their child..
I really loved this video. I had to pick a video about autism for my developmental psychology class, and now I don't want to stop watching them. You made me cry at the end, and yes...your son is perfect.
Hi, our nephew is like your child. We are very sad but he is so lovely. We wish you all the best and sometimes it will be better then everything else.... hope you know. Nice video, there is so much love in it... we wish you the best from Germany
Yes it's called 'Order of Society', everything has a place, and this is completely normal in their world. Thank you for posting something informative :)
no problem. i am going to the doctor in a couple days to see if i have some sort of learning disability or disorder, because i just got fired from my summer job because when my boss told me how to do the job right, he said it seemed as if i wasn't listening. also i loved spinning objects as a kid, and i have some other signs as well
fireguy, looking back I wish they would of given me a better diagnosis with my oldest son. i would of known how to help him better when he was overwhlemed instead of my not so good parenting skills at the time. he is a great kid always has been, stacked, lined up, seemed aloof, they held him back in 1st grade now at 14 he has college level reading, math and science skills. He is also very distant with people, as I am, he gets overwhelmed by a lot of noise and people. we are all unique.
When I first hit play I was expecting another parent putting up another anti-autism video about how they don't want their child how they want to have another child that looks just like their current child, I am very happy to be surprised. The world needs more parents like you.
You don't have to *flap flap* to have Aspergers, tells you what you know. I have three boys with an ASD, one with Aspergers, one with PDD NOS and one that is diagnosed Autistic. Do your freaking reseach! You are a waste to the gene pool I am proud of my children but disgraced by ppl like you.
Listen, FIRST off YOU don't pay for my fucking kids, we work you ass wipe. My kids don't get assistance in anyway because we MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY. Don't fucking make remarks like that, u go fucking sterlize yourself u worthless piece of shit. All you ppl make me sick, keep on making fucked up comments. I will keep on coming back. I take care of my kids, I fight for their right to have schooling and help. i don't sit on my ass and milk the system for food stamps, welfare or whatever. Stupid cow.
who the hell do you think you are saying something like that. you have no idea what that woman goes through at home trying to help her little boys........y dont u go shove those tax dollars up your ass
And you know what else? Why is it ppl like you are so fucking stupid and jump to conclusions that you pay for my children with your taxdollars? You and your buddies with the stupid mentality of a slug, do you work? Well 'if' and I say that lightly 'if' you work.... that person that is so fucking smart it is unbelievable probably has an ASD. You are predjudice and all you others that post negative comments. Keep on pointing your finger, Karma is a bitch.
The Autistic Spectrum is very broad, you may have Aspergers. Some ppl are RUDE and post that you stupid comments about flapping of the hands but that isn't a necessity. Do some reasearch, A lot of ASD ppl are antisocial that is part of the behavioral problems. Feeling alone and unable to socialize is worth the research. Hugs to you and keep your chin up,
Your son is talking to you in the video...he probaly has autism spectrum not high functioning autism, or he couldn't be talking, autistic children don't talk mainly in the age he is how old is he by the way? My son has 4 and he doesn't talk to me yet. He speaks a lot but he can't interact with people.
autism speaks funds eugenics to prevent wonderful, happy children like these? your child looks like ac sweet sensitie little boy. Congratulations you did a fantastic job raising him.
No... I think you are fucked, son. Why are you interested in even watching this? unless you just like to go around making rude comments so that you can laugh at how stupid and fucked up you are! Laugh at yourself boy!
WOW, He can talk and make eye contact, just like my daughter..Who is clearly Autistic..But they want to tell me she is Bipolar, go figure that out.. I'm so lost, and once more so is my child.
Beautiful video. Our girl was born in 1995 - back when it was 1 in 11,000. Kept thinking she was "shy." When we got a diagnosis at age 3, we thought we were heading in a good direction, only to find that insurance wouldn't cover therapies. And I never knew what to ask for. I am glad there is more awareness now for other families.
People have said they believe in miracles and pray for our daughter to recover. Seems a strange request of God. We're happy & so is she. Christ has done His job.
What a beautiful video, I feel the same about my sons. Thanks for sharing. I love the smashing cans :) Two of my guys love to smash things too, it drives their brother crazy (he likes to have things "just so")
well I am glad I can write an answer. other wine complain or talk bad. If this happen to your child you would want to read my research. people are looking for answers. There are no cures offered by medicine there are some treatments like detox this helps a lot,, but no cure all
this autism is different than AU before 1997. 2nd what we see here is brain damage cause be exposure to emr. 3rd we must focus on proper brain function. your child braim regenerates every 3 years. with help from up above overseeing the redevelp. the child over 2 year can recover. jamespowelson look for my website on yahoo search
autistic people are just tards in normal people's skin. but they're still retards, sure they can figure out long division easily in their head, or memorize a whole movie but can that get you anywhere in life when you can't carry a conversation with a stranger and have to live in total confinement? NO!
Where are you getting your information about Autism? A 20 year old movie that generalizes like %1 of the Autistic community? Rainman is not a good representation of Autism.
BTW, I guess you dont want to hear about the thousands and thousands of Autistic kids who grow up to be Autistic adults and live happy lives and raise families.
I have to thank you for this video. We have an autistic son who is now 11 years old and going back through photos and his life gives me great pleasure of seeing what he has accomplished despite doctors poor prognosis. Philip is developmentally delayed and was not diagnosed early enough to receive IBI (ABA) therapy. He is still sitting on a waitlist for this intensive behaviour therapy. Thank you for opening my heart and eyes to my own son.
You have a beautiful son. He reminds me of my boy, Connor, who you can learn more about by doing a search for "Connor Kremser" or "autism angel." Its comforting to know that other parents are out there who love their special children as much as we do. Good luck.
If youlook back on previous comments I've answered this very question several times.
The video shows what I want to show you, a very beautiful perfect child... despite the Autism. Media makes it sound like Autistic children are monsters. They aren't, they are perfect just the way they are. Thats the point. I could make a video highlighting all the "autistic traits" my son has, but that doesn't prove anything about Autistics and their abilities. Yes, abilities.
@Kristine233 i just want to say to you god bless you for putting up your video of your son it takes a lot of courage to deal with people who are negative who watch videos and say things that they know nothing about i also have a daughter with autism and i believe they are a gift from god
I can also point out that if you know what to look for you will actually be able to pick things out from the pictures too... like spinning wheels, covering his ears, obsessed with cars and lots of imagery that shows both tactile aversion and sensory seeking. But not everyone is going to be able to pick that type of stuff out without being told. Which is also kinda my point... "normal" looking may not be as "normal" as you think. But who wants to be normal anyways, thats boring. lol
That was the reason for my question. My son's docs/ot etc say NO to autism( which i always wondered about) bc they say he is too social. However, he flaps, spins, bangs on thinks has SPD and is delayed with language/has difficulty answering questions. So, i was wondering what social skills your son lacked. It just wasnt evident from the beginning clip.;-)
It can be hard to get a diagnosis before school age. They usually get a SPD when that young, mine did too. His social skills (or lack there of) didn't become really noticeable until he was school age and around peers.
He doesn't initiate with peers and does mostly parallel play instead of playing with others. He also has a hard time knowing how to play with toys unless you show him how. (loves video games though!) He also does a lot of verbal stimming (screeching, noises etc)
Hi,My son is 2 and has SPD. He is a sensory seeker. i was wondering how your son was also diagnosed with autism. He seemed social. Our doctors said our son was not autistic because of how social he was. Just wondering. Thanks for the great video. Your son is so cute.
Hi, I have three children all on the autism spectrum. It is important to remember that it is a spectrum, which means these beautiful kids come in as many varieties as normal children do. Some speak, some don't. Some can socialize, some can not. The diagnosis of autism is made when a child has a certain number or over a certain number of specifically listed symptoms. You can find these lists on Web sites like Autism Speaks.
Kristine, you have a beautiful boy, thank you for sharing him with us.
Sorry kiddo, if you want to get into a fight with adults go pick on your parents or mental ward tech. Nothing you can say will hurt me. If you had actually read anything here about autism, you would know that the children do not get diagnosed until they are 3 to 6 years old. No, I am not sorry I had them. They are a joy and make people smile every day. You should try it sometime.
Why would you say something like that? What is wrong with you? You disgust me, I have six children and each of them are unique. Sure I have three that fall in the ASD but I can't predicte the future and the reasearch is just now becoming important to those 'who deem it important' I am OCD and believe I was mildly Autistic as a child. The information wasn't out in the 70's and it still isn't out now. Be glad your mother had you so you could make a hateful statement like this.
Read his page... he admits he's a pathetic little coward who has no self-worth other than the reactions he gets from others while safely enshrined by his anonymity. Don't give him power over you by getting angry, just pity what it must be like to be a petty little piece of cowardly filth who has to hide behind a computer, do things like make fun of autistic children and rely exclusively on others to feel any validation of his insignificant existence.
I am working with autistic children in China and just wanted to say to you, that you have a lovely son. He seems to be nearly normal compared to the little chinese children in the orphanage. They are really cute, but mostly they have a lot of problems.
I guess in China its even harder to have an autistic child, because the society blame you for your child. :(
Many people here dont have any idea and give me advices like- hit the children when they dont want to do what they have to do
honestly i dont see anything wrong wit lil dude. he seems like an average cool lil guy to me. Can anyone out there tell me wats wrong wit tha lil dude, besides him smashin cans and lining things up?
This child looks and sounds typical to me. My child is non-verbal at this time. He is 4. He gets so frustrated he can't communicate that he is attacking me ferociously sometimes trying to gouge out my eyes it seems. This video makes life look very easy and harmonious. I am a very loving mom who is feeling despair about ever considering more children. When it's good, it's wonderful. When he tries to attack me, I feel very alone in my sadness.
Having a child with Autism can have its ups and downs. My son was very violent for a long time. I was depressed and it was HARD. We've found ways to combat this and help him get the sensory input he needs and help him learn how to deal with the extreme sensations, input and emotions that he deals with. Life with ANY child can be difficult, Autism or not. Parenthood is HARD. This video is to showcase the positives of my child and how much he brings to our lives.
I completely feel your pain. When our children tantrum so frequently during the day, it feels that all we do is put out fires. This may not work for you but, in October I started my child on my own home researched remedy of liquid B12, HMD (heavy metal detox), and a child's version of acidolpholus. Three days after starting treatment my son said "I feel better mama. I feel so much better," when he awoke. He rarely tantrums anymore and his verbal communication is now excellent. Good Luck.
Kimlilly07 Hello just read your post and was wondering how you are doing with your little guy? I feel for you, my little guy was also violent at times, he once came at me with a hammer at age 4. I believe it's not because you or I did something wrong, it's because he is frustrated because He can't express his wants to you. I wanted to kill myself along with my son it was so bad. Glad I didn't , My son is now 14 and he is loving, gentle and sensitive. Home your situation has improved :0).
This is a great video. I have high functioning autism...and can say that when I was younger i enjoyed playing with cans also. I used to line them up and then throw a ball at them...like when bowling.
Congradulations to the parent[s] for raising such a beautiful young boy.
Beautiful Video. I would do anything to hear my son explain his behaviors, like your son. My son, Dante' is completely non verbal. My son is also terrified of swings and McDonald's playgrounds. He also doesn't like to play with other kids. I saw your son doesn't mind swings, McDonald's playgrounds or other kids. You are extremely lucky that your son is adjusting to life, as well as he is. Don't get me wrong, I am equally proud of my son, he has come a long way. xoxoxo.
To AutieParentsUnited. I can relate. My son was afraid of many things and theyway I worked with that was I tried to expose him to the things he was afraid of until he became aware that there's nothing to fear. The first time I took Nick to the beach he flipped out screaming and kicking as we walked him across the weird feeling sand and placed him in the water, after couple times he got over it. Took him over to Grandma's pool a couple times and now he's an excellent swimmer. Thanks for sharing.
Smashing cans looks like fun. But then again I am autistic. Some people might think it odd for a child to smash cans. But really, as long as they aren't hurting them selves or anyone else, who cares what they do for fun. As a kid I would spend many hours in the back yard swinging around broom sticks pretending they were martial arts weapons.
same here, I have Autism too, its difficult but im happy the way I am, i actually dont have many friends but games are more fun anyways, all they want to talk about is make up and porn and hot peoples, i just want to play my games and become a pokemon master, i dont give a damn about fashion and im very happy bieng just me, something most normal people, from what i have seen cant...
Hi, My Name Is Diana and i just found out that my baby boy Nathan Has Autism .I think you should Know that i think he's beautiful,and i wish my boy comes out just like your boy!
I it nice to see him like other children.He is never really alone,because he can meet me.Unfortunately it is joke,it is difference between possibility and reality.Have good luck.
Thank you for posting this vid. We are lucky that our ASD son is a happy child! He's always smiling in every picture we've taken of him. At his parent/teacher meeting, one teacher said with glossy eyes, "No matter how many times he's seen me in a day, he's so happy to see me each time, as if he hadn't seen me in a long time". We are blessed he isn't screaming everytime he's touched. I've come across a google vid: Mercury, Autism and the Global Vaccine Agenda. God Bless our Children - sniff...
Please be considerate and actually READ these comments! Don't just ignore them cause they r long and ur 2 lazy 2 read them! Realize that kids and adults with autism have 2 use all the strength they have (well some of them) 2 read something like these comments, when u could do it easily? READ the comments and RATE them 2!
What's your problem? Have a bad day? People don't have time to respond to every comment, especially when you get this many. Have you noticed how many comments shes got?
He still has feelings, a personality, why cant he be treated like it? Does anyone remember the GOLDEN RULE? U know, "treat other PEOPLE the way u would like 2 be treated"! They r still people so treat them like they r. Remember, we may not be the same, but we r created equal by one great creator; our heavenly father JESUS CHRIST!!! ~miss kayler~
this is my 2nd time commenting and i have 2 say in addition 2 my other comment that he must have a very mild form of it cause he makes very good eye contact and he has great communication skills! im not saying hes not autistic, because who would joke about something as serious as this! Im just saying that u would never be able 2 tell. Thats how 'typical' he is. Why do people say things like disabilities, abnormalities, typical, normal? They r living, breathing PEOPLE!!! Not all these pther names
wow! ur son is perfect and don't let anyone ever tell u otherwise, cause he is just like everyone else! i couldn't even tell he had autism, i don't think anyone could ever tell unless someone told them. best of luck 2 u, ur family, and ur magnificent son! ~miss kayler~
I am not an expert,this is just my opinion..I think there is a genetic link in the fact that families with autism, allergies, immune issues, can't detox naturally or breakdown naturally the toxins from vaccines, food, environment, etc. Part of the problem.I think we are just "sensitive" to everything around us. Using traditional or alternative therapies to help your children doesn't mean they have a problem your tyring to fix.What I saw here was a beutiful, loving happy boy with a loving family.
I am in love with this little boy! He is a sweetheart! My little guy was diagnosed when he was 2 and just turned 9 this December. I commend people like you that spread awareness about exceptance instead of trying to remedy Autism away! My son is amazing and perfect as well and I would do nothing to change him! The video I made him can be viewed on my page :)
one doctor who provided care for amish children said in all his years he cared for them he never saw a case of autism. amish do not receive innoculations.
And I know a lot of parents who don't vax and still have children with Autism. Check the mothering dot com message boards for examples.
The fact that the Amish communities he worked in had no Autistic children could be a argument to prove Autism is genetic and they don't have it in their genetic population in that specific community. It could also mean he isn't seeing the "classically autistic" children. Many children simply are not diagnosed.
i have two patients whose children became abnormal soon after having innoculations, one autistic, another learning disabled. you may know that many parents testified of similar experiences, post-innoculation high fever, followed by autism symptoms in their children at congressional hearings on the subject a few years ago. the "experts" present said there was no scientific evidence of a correlation. i consider their opinion less than credible.
Autistic like traits or symptoms are different than actually having Autism. Metal poisoning, vax poisoning and food allergies are all also not Autism. Many people assume that these cause Autism, that is not the case. These need to be treated for what they are and not lumped together as Autism. 2 possibilities: the effects of the vax show more negative because of the presence (prior unknown) of Autism. Or they simply have a reaction to the vax itself, but it doesn't cause the Autism.
I noticed something "different" about my son was he was 7 months old. I continually brought it to the doctors attention. By his second birthday the doctor still insisted nothing was wrong and that he was completely "normal". Well my son is 2 1/2 and I had to eventually get help somewhere else.The Doc was wrong. Hes not Amish either by the way.lol
Also hiodr: "abnormalities" is pretty offensive to those who accept Autism. Unless you are saying abnormal is better than normal (which I'd agree with), but that doesn't seem to be what you were saying.
of course there are such things as "reactions".however it has been ny observation that too often this is a misleading euphemism used to blame the patient/victim for the injurious effects of some medical procedure. don't try to accuse me of being offensive by speaking the truth. there is no INTENT of offending anyone, and given the realities of the condition, the term i used is certainly quite mild.
It's true, and right now 50 families are being informed that one of their child has got autism. You can watch a movie called "The unexpected journey".
HydroN39, not exagerated.. its 1 in every 150 children. There are less adults diagnosed because we are still learning about it. Autism is also a spectrum, not everyone is going to share an Autism diagnosis with you either. You may not think they are anything other than a general quirkiness so people around you may have Autism and you may never know it.
2 days after i watched this video i noticed a building called "provincial autism something" this video made me realize there is a lot of people with autism we just dont see it
it is true, there is a very wide range of autism....some kids you really wouldnt be able to tell and some are so extreme that they do not talk at all...
I love the comment at the end of the video 'Our son is perfect'.My boyfriend has autism and I get sick of people telling him its something thats WRONG with him!I fell in love with him for the things most people seem to find difficult in him.Without autism my boyfriend wouldn't be the person I fell in love with.Autism gives a person a very unique way of being,for some reason a lot of people don't seem to see it's positive sides...
My 5 yr old son has autism. I love him for who he is, but wonder what he would have been if he hadn't been poisoned. It's been the most challenging thing I've ever done - to understand it and keep his little brother safe. He's tried to drown him, push him down the stairs and one day took a pencil to his eye, about to poke through it. He said with innocence, void of anger, but more like curiosity, "I was just trying to check things out. Go in his eye and out his ear". Yes, something is wrong.
Yikes! I've been there. I feel like I'm making excuses for this type of behavior but the answer is in your statement "Innocence". This is typical behavior for some young children with autism. I wish there were more books geared toward children with autism on appropriate and inappropriate behaviors. Your son is curious and will do inappropriate things because he doesn't understand. When my son was young he pushed his sister down a flight of stairs to see if she would bounce like a ball.
I really enjoyed your video, and I am also totally blown away by some of the comments that are posted here. It just goes to show that more awareness and education is needed to help people understand. I too have a son with autism, and it can be a difficult road to walk. Thank you for sharing a view in your life. I loved it.
In your video you say that you son is just like any other boy. I agree and would never have guessed anything was abnormal about him. Lots of boys would love to crush cans in the kitchen if their moms would let them. lol Are you sure he has autism or did he overcome the autism in some way?
KrisMayeaux: We're positive he has autism and has been seen by several specialists and has a whole team that work with him every day. You saw in the video what I wanted you to see, my perfect little boy. The way I want all people to see him, looking beyond the autism. Thats the best thing we can do for our kids, help spread acceptance and show they are like other kids.
even if he does have autism, remember that a child with autism has a bigger brain than normal people. sometimes i even wonder if thier the normal ones and we're the ones that need help. i mean all they really have is a different perspective of things, and they have extraordinairy talents.like u said..thier perfect:)
i love what you said. by the way, my little brother has autism as well, and his name is also andrew. haha, cool, right? anyway, if u wanna see a video of him singing a lullaby u can look it up on my videos. its adorable. i sincerely wish the best for your son.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
thats horrible. austism comes from parents, its because they didnt put their efforts in doing the right things for their child. just like the parent to the boy, she is too lienent, if a kid does somthing autistic i would hit the kid with all my strength just to let him not suffer in the future. the first 3 years of a new-born are the most critical years
I think I failed to post a comment saying how much I like this and that it is going into the Youtube Posautive group and its kids subgroup, thank you!
this is a very nice video. my little brother is diagnosed with severe autism. I am not sure what people are talking about Christians being intollerant. I am thankful I don't know any that are, since my father is the pastor of a Christian church and we adopted my little brother knowing he had the disability, along with many other disabilities. We love my little brother very much so, he is amazing and exactly how God planned him to be. He is perfect. And your son is too.
My son is 5. He was diagnosed with autism at age 3. He's come a long way. Visuals really help. He's talking a lot more now. He has found that words help him get what he wants faster!
You son is Perfect. So is mine. I wouldn't 'change" him either. This is a nice video. :)
well i do not know if he wants to but the thing is i just can't help it.. it is hard for them too that is just the good not the bad too having tantrums not breaking down anymore not feeling alone. being albe to say i love u and im hungry could mean anything.
they say the case of autism is unknown untill now! today on january 9 they have found out something in the body that creats auitsim my brother has it and wwhen i found out that in later years they might be able to reverse it i cried and cried love u alwasys wesly
tomboysarah: Yup, its DNA. You're born with it. If you remove DNA you no longer exist, you aren't *you* anymore. I'd never remove my son from himself, he's perfect the way he is, it show God intended him to be.
im sertain in faith that it will be reversable and my brother can;t speak and he is 6 and i love him more than anything! i couldn't live with my slef knowing that there was a way and it never happned but it is not just the dna it is revesable so they say..
Autism helps my son's brain think outside the box, be more creative, think differently, view the world differently. Would you take that away from a child just so they can be "cured"? I understand there are non-verbal Autistics, but how do you know they want to be cured as well?
I think you have created a very positive video here. I wish many people were this postive. Negative energy only hurts. It is apparent that you are positive. This will make life happier for everyone. Thank you for sharing.
I have autism and if I get frustrted I go ride me horse at full speed. no one can tuch me when im out there. i hope yer kid lerns all he needs to deal with all the stuff that goes on in his mind.
i have a son with autism, and i would like to point out that are all different, they share the tri of impairment but it affects each child different hence the spectrum. please dont listen to stupid people. my son would have not had a diagnoses if i didnt push for it cause here in london ,uk they try not to for some strange reason, problably money.
Anyway your son is cute and all our children with autism are perfect and special, we wouldnt change them for the world.
funny, i've actually told the same damn thing to an ignorant NT, that i hope he has a child with AS, to let him know what it must feel like to deal with it LOL. his response was that his children are going to be "blessed" (without "deformities" like AS, I presume); yes, he's a fundy Christian. not all Christians are intolerant (but "loving") assholes, but he is.
i help out at a local play scheme with children with disabilities. There are children with autism like your sons and also children with severe autism who will not communicate at all , why people are asking you "why you think your son has autism" is rather strange.
your a very loving mum im glad there are mums like you.
I was wondering why you think your child has autism? The autism in our world is that our grandson doesn't talk unless we try to force him and then it is very limited. He screams and hurts himself. He stems alot and sometimes he doesn't hear us. He does things over and over. He cries alot.
The point of the video was to focus on the positives of my son, not the "disability" or "symptoms". Media all too often focuses on the negatives of Autism and parents fall into the "woe is me" mode. I refuse to do that.
Many Autistic children CAN be verbal. It's a spectrum and affects all kids differently.
I looked back at your earlier comments regarding his diagnosis. But could you please tell us what some of his other symptoms are? He just seems so "normal" for lack of a better word.
Exactly! Autism doesn't have to be devastating. It doesn't have to be spun negatively, which a lot of people focus on. Would you rather a negative video featuring all his "symptoms"? What would that prove?
Kristine I agree.. as a person in my latter 50s I have aspergers, so does my friend from childhood who all through school flapped hands.. I hum and sing...Big whoop. I know NT's with worse habits :) like Spitting and nose picking Also we "B" smart :) Ilove being an aspie
DSdooley I was diagnosed this year at the late age of 56 with asperger's . two of my life long friends who are also nerds and very successful are also just diagnosed. One has a son iwth a phd. We all have advanced degrees and very happy. We like who we are. Older aspies who are successful just are not diagnosed. We can fool the best of psychologists , we learned to adapt to the NT world
I'm not saying your son doesn't have autism, but could you please explain why you believe he has it? Has he been diagnosed? What are his other symptoms? It seems to me that, based on the small amount of information you've given here, he's just a regular kid who thinks it's fun to smash things. Again, I'm not saying he doesn't have it. Just wondering what else is behind your belief that he does. Thanks.
I could spin it different, but that's not the point. I could have done a video on his screeching, rocking, hand flapping, meltdowns, diet restrictions, or ST, or OT, or the SN classroom, or the team who works with him learn appropriate social interactions and how to deal with emotions... the list goes on and on, just like for the other Autism parents.. that isn't the topic of this video, I'd rather show you the side of my child that we LOVE and CHERISH. Because he is just like any other child.
KRistine you are far better than the mother who titled her utube autism took my son. She is the most negative mother I have seen..Thank God for lovely moms like you who love and believe in her child.
Raiders1393: Waters and swimming is a great Sensory Activity. Many children with Autism also have Sensory Processing Disorder (as my son does) and sensory stimulating activities can often be really fun! (Like smashing cans and swimming)
Thank you for showing the world such a lovely video!
My son is also autistic.

Children under 2 years old are very sensitive to their mother's/parents subconscious state. They pick up any stress, material desire, pride, fear and etc. from their mom. What are the consequences? Autism, depression, violence and etc later on. Change within, your inner impression of the world, accept self forgiveness, love and your children will get better. And stop vaccines before they are 2 years old. the immune system is still developing-let it take its natural course...!

mercury is linked to autism!!! dont eat too much fish, especially tuna, swordfish, or dolphin... its very bad, mercury does neurological damage, and it is not treatable!!! this scares me because there is so many more autistic kids and ones with down syndrome than there was....... i believe most of it is linked to too much mercury. dont tempt fate dont eat fish.... if you dont believe me go to gotmercury,com it lets you see what your mercury intake is from the fish that you eat/.....

I am glad there is more awareness now for other families.
People have said they believe in miracles and pray for our daughter to recover. Seems a strange request of God. We're happy & so is she. Christ has done His job.

diva4211 1 year ago
I can also point out that if you know what to look for you will actually be able to pick things out from the pictures too... like spinning wheels, covering his ears, obsessed with cars and lots of imagery that shows both tactile aversion and sensory seeking. But not everyone is going to be able to pick that type of stuff out without being told. Which is also kinda my point... "normal" looking may not be as "normal" as you think. But who wants to be normal anyways, thats boring. lol
Kristine233 3 years ago
That was the reason for my question. My son's docs/ot etc say NO to autism( which i always wondered about) bc they say he is too social. However, he flaps, spins, bangs on thinks has SPD and is delayed with language/has difficulty answering questions. So, i was wondering what social skills your son lacked. It just wasnt evident from the beginning clip.;-)
adamshull 3 years ago
It can be hard to get a diagnosis before school age. They usually get a SPD when that young, mine did too. His social skills (or lack there of) didn't become really noticeable until he was school age and around peers.
He doesn't initiate with peers and does mostly parallel play instead of playing with others. He also has a hard time knowing how to play with toys unless you show him how. (loves video games though!) He also does a lot of verbal stimming (screeching, noises etc)

Having the ability to talk has nothing to do with social skills, or Autism really. Thats a stereotype that parents liek me are trying to eliminate.

Hi, I have three children all on the autism spectrum. It is important to remember that it is a spectrum, which means these beautiful kids come in as many varieties as normal children do. Some speak, some don't. Some can socialize, some can not. The diagnosis of autism is made when a child has a certain number or over a certain number of specifically listed symptoms. You can find these lists on Web sites like Autism Speaks.

Having a child with Autism can have its ups and downs. My son was very violent for a long time. I was depressed and it was HARD. We've found ways to combat this and help him get the sensory input he needs and help him learn how to deal with the extreme sensations, input and emotions that he deals with. Life with ANY child can be difficult, Autism or not. Parenthood is HARD. This video is to showcase the positives of my child and how much he brings to our lives.

I completely feel your pain. When our children tantrum so frequently during the day, it feels that all we do is put out fires. This may not work for you but, in October I started my child on my own home researched remedy of liquid B12, HMD (heavy metal detox), and a child's version of acidolpholus. Three days after starting treatment my son said "I feel better mama. I feel so much better," when he awoke. He rarely tantrums anymore and his verbal communication is now excellent. Good Luck.

Smashing cans looks like fun. But then again I am autistic. Some people might think it odd for a child to smash cans.

I am not an expert,this is just my opinion..I think there is a genetic link in the fact that families with autism, allergies, immune issues, can't detox naturally or breakdown naturally the toxins from vaccines, food, environment, etc. Part of the problem.I think we are just "sensitive" to everything around us. Using traditional or alternative therapies to help your children doesn't mean they have a problem your tyring to fix.What I saw here was a beutiful, loving happy boy with a loving family.

one doctor who provided care for amish children said in all his years he cared for them he never saw a case of autism. amish do not receive innoculations.
hiodr 4 years ago
And I know a lot of parents who don't vax and still have children with Autism. Check the mothering dot com message boards for examples.
The fact that the Amish communities he worked in had no Autistic children could be a argument to prove Autism is genetic and they don't have it in their genetic population in that specific community. It could also mean he isn't seeing the "classically autistic" children. Many children simply are not diagnosed.
Kristine233 4 years ago
i have two patients whose children became abnormal soon after having innoculations, one autistic, another learning disabled. you may know that many parents testified of similar experiences, post-innoculation high fever, followed by autism symptoms in their children at congressional hearings on the subject a few years ago. the "experts" present said there was no scientific evidence of a correlation. i consider their opinion less than credible.
hiodr 4 years ago
Autistic like traits or symptoms are different than actually having Autism. Metal poisoning, vax poisoning and food allergies are all also not Autism. Many people assume that these cause Autism, that is not the case. These need to be treated for what they are and not lumped together as Autism. 2 possibilities: the effects of the vax show more negative because of the presence (prior unknown) of Autism. Or they simply have a reaction to the vax itself, but it doesn't cause the Autism.
Kristine233 4 years ago
I noticed something "different" about my son was he was 7 months old. I continually brought it to the doctors attention. By his second birthday the doctor still insisted nothing was wrong and that he was completely "normal". Well my son is 2 1/2 and I had to eventually get help somewhere else.The Doc was wrong. Hes not Amish either by the way.lol

Also hiodr: "abnormalities" is pretty offensive to those who accept Autism. Unless you are saying abnormal is better than normal (which I'd agree with), but that doesn't seem to be what you were saying.

of course there are such things as "reactions".however it has been ny observation that too often this is a misleading euphemism used to blame the patient/victim for the injurious effects of some medical procedure. don't try to accuse me of being offensive by speaking the truth. there is no INTENT of offending anyone, and given the realities of the condition, the term i used is certainly quite mild.

I love the comment at the end of the video 'Our son is perfect'.My boyfriend has autism and I get sick of people telling him its something thats WRONG with him!I fell in love with him for the things most people seem to find difficult in him.Without autism my boyfriend wouldn't be the person I fell in love with.Autism gives a person a very unique way of being,for some reason a lot of people don't seem to see it's positive sides...

My 5 yr old son has autism. I love him for who he is, but wonder what he would have been if he hadn't been poisoned. It's been the most challenging thing I've ever done - to understand it and keep his little brother safe. He's tried to drown him, push him down the stairs and one day took a pencil to his eye, about to poke through it. He said with innocence, void of anger, but more like curiosity, "I was just trying to check things out. Go in his eye and out his ear". Yes, something is wrong.

Yikes! I've been there. I feel like I'm making excuses for this type of behavior but the answer is in your statement "Innocence". This is typical behavior for some young children with autism. I wish there were more books geared toward children with autism on appropriate and inappropriate behaviors. Your son is curious and will do inappropriate things because he doesn't understand. When my son was young he pushed his sister down a flight of stairs to see if she would bounce like a ball.

I really enjoyed your video, and I am also totally blown away by some of the comments that are posted here. It just goes to show that more awareness and education is needed to help people understand. I too have a son with autism, and it can be a difficult road to walk. Thank you for sharing a view in your life. I loved it.

In your video you say that you son is just like any other boy. I agree and would never have guessed anything was abnormal about him. Lots of boys would love to crush cans in the kitchen if their moms would let them. lol Are you sure he has autism or did he overcome the autism in some way?
KrisMayeaux 4 years ago
KrisMayeaux: We're positive he has autism and has been seen by several specialists and has a whole team that work with him every day. You saw in the video what I wanted you to see, my perfect little boy. The way I want all people to see him, looking beyond the autism. Thats the best thing we can do for our kids, help spread acceptance and show they are like other kids.

even if he does have autism, remember that a child with autism has a bigger brain than normal people. sometimes i even wonder if thier the normal ones and we're the ones that need help. i mean all they really have is a different perspective of things, and they have extraordinairy talents.like u said..thier perfect:)

thats horrible. austism comes from parents, its because they didnt put their efforts in doing the right things for their child. just like the parent to the boy, she is too lienent, if a kid does somthing autistic i would hit the kid with all my strength just to let him not suffer in the future. the first 3 years of a new-born are the most critical years

this is a very nice video. my little brother is diagnosed with severe autism. I am not sure what people are talking about Christians being intollerant. I am thankful I don't know any that are, since my father is the pastor of a Christian church and we adopted my little brother knowing he had the disability, along with many other disabilities. We love my little brother very much so, he is amazing and exactly how God planned him to be. He is perfect. And your son is too.

My son is 5. He was diagnosed with autism at age 3. He's come a long way. Visuals really help. He's talking a lot more now. He has found that words help him get what he wants faster!
You son is Perfect. So is mine. I wouldn't 'change" him either. This is a nice video. :)

tomboysarah 4 years ago
tomboysarah: Yup, its DNA. You're born with it. If you remove DNA you no longer exist, you aren't *you* anymore. I'd never remove my son from himself, he's perfect the way he is, it show God intended him to be.
Kristine233 4 years ago
im sertain in faith that it will be reversable and my brother can;t speak and he is 6 and i love him more than anything! i couldn't live with my slef knowing that there was a way and it never happned but it is not just the dna it is revesable so they say..
tomboysarah 4 years ago
Autism helps my son's brain think outside the box, be more creative, think differently, view the world differently. Would you take that away from a child just so they can be "cured"? I understand there are non-verbal Autistics, but how do you know they want to be cured as well?

yes your son is perfect - you are lucky to have him and him you and yours, keep smiling x

i have a son with autism, and i would like to point out that are all different, they share the tri of impairment but it affects each child different hence the spectrum. please dont listen to stupid people. my son would have not had a diagnoses if i didnt push for it cause here in london ,uk they try not to for some strange reason, problably money.
Anyway your son is cute and all our children with autism are perfect and special, we wouldnt change them for the world.

funny, i've actually told the same damn thing to an ignorant NT, that i hope he has a child with AS, to let him know what it must feel like to deal with it LOL. his response was that his children are going to be "blessed" (without "deformities" like AS, I presume); yes, he's a fundy Christian. not all Christians are intolerant (but "loving") assholes, but he is.

i help out at a local play scheme with children with disabilities. There are children with autism like your sons and also children with severe autism who will not communicate at all , why people are asking you "why you think your son has autism" is rather strange.
your a very loving mum im glad there are mums like you.
morleyso 4 years ago
I was wondering why you think your child has autism? The autism in our world is that our grandson doesn't talk unless we try to force him and then it is very limited. He screams and hurts himself. He stems alot and sometimes he doesn't hear us. He does things over and over. He cries alot.
What are your treatments?
mjm70x7 4 years ago
The point of the video was to focus on the positives of my son, not the "disability" or "symptoms". Media all too often focuses on the negatives of Autism and parents fall into the "woe is me" mode. I refuse to do that.
Many Autistic children CAN be verbal. It's a spectrum and affects all kids differently.
Kristine233 4 years ago
I looked back at your earlier comments regarding his diagnosis. But could you please tell us what some of his other symptoms are? He just seems so "normal" for lack of a better word.
dsdooley 4 years ago
Exactly! Autism doesn't have to be devastating. It doesn't have to be spun negatively, which a lot of people focus on. Would you rather a negative video featuring all his "symptoms"? What would that prove?
Kristine233 4 years ago
Kristine I agree.. as a person in my latter 50s I have aspergers, so does my friend from childhood who all through school flapped hands.. I hum and sing...Big whoop. I know NT's with worse habits :) like Spitting and nose picking Also we "B" smart :) Ilove being an aspie

DSdooley I was diagnosed this year at the late age of 56 with asperger's . two of my life long friends who are also nerds and very successful are also just diagnosed. One has a son iwth a phd. We all have advanced degrees and very happy. We like who we are. Older aspies who are successful just are not diagnosed. We can fool the best of psychologists , we learned to adapt to the NT world

I'm not saying your son doesn't have autism, but could you please explain why you believe he has it? Has he been diagnosed? What are his other symptoms? It seems to me that, based on the small amount of information you've given here, he's just a regular kid who thinks it's fun to smash things. Again, I'm not saying he doesn't have it. Just wondering what else is behind your belief that he does. Thanks.
dsdooley 4 years ago
I could spin it different, but that's not the point. I could have done a video on his screeching, rocking, hand flapping, meltdowns, diet restrictions, or ST, or OT, or the SN classroom, or the team who works with him learn appropriate social interactions and how to deal with emotions... the list goes on and on, just like for the other Autism parents.. that isn't the topic of this video, I'd rather show you the side of my child that we LOVE and CHERISH. Because he is just like any other child.
