3 1/2 year old "autistic" boy, compare to video at 2 years old and be amazed!

This is "Bubba". He's 3 1/2 in this video. Hopefully you've seen his video at 2. Occupational and speech therapy for a year, along with developmental preschool have brought us to this point. At 2 (first video) he was diagnosed as "having severe speech and language development disorders, probably to include apraxia. Is probably autistic." His diagnosis at 3 was "high functioning autistic". Can't wait to see what age 4 brings diagnosis-wise!

My nephew did not start speaking until he was 5.. A year later he is the cutest, smartest and most social person in class. Thank God his mother did not have the OMG!! my kid can't talk at age 2 syndrome. Kids have been late bloomers for centuries.. Can someone please tell me what changed? Valuable tax dollars are going to these people for made up services? If your kid can't talk by 7 years old , maybe there is a problem.. BUT 2 years Old!!! What is the world coming to?

@LeePutnam1

Always nice to have the input of the experts on social and emotional development! Glad to hear your nephew was just a late bloomer. Too bad that isn't always the case.

nice, how is dealing with the fork at this age? :)

@VictorButny

LOL I saw your post on the other video, thanks for watching both. He is doing awesome with forks of all shapes and sizes... ;)

@Shazzadee (2/4) By no means the medical expert, I did some research and found that Cilantro is a natural chelator (removing metals from the body). I started buying cilantro for his salads and sandwhiches, he like the taste! The REAL awesomeness happened when I juiced the cilantro (you can also steep it into tea, but do not use a metal pot), adding it to his apple juice. I did this daily for two weeks. He has since begun READING to us and sounding out words phonetically! He is expressive! (cont)

@liquyddance That would be something to wonder about, as my son also LOVES cilantro.  He doesn't eat it as much since we moved to the south, but we started making fresh salsa and pico the summer of the first video and we'd have it just about every weekend.

Best of luck!

Irenabobena05- My son with autism is 3 1/2 and is very similar to how your son is in this video. How is your son now at age 5 or 6? I'm just curious because I wonder where my son will be 2 to 3 years from now when he goes to school.
