thank you for posting this! i am doing a presentation about autism in my nursing class. i havent had any (that i know of) contact with autistic kids, so i dont know what stimming or hand flapping etc is, so im looking to utube for help. SO THANK YOU. and pls, dont let the insensitive comments from the utube idiots affect you! this, and other videos with austic children, can be used as a learning tool! good luck mom!

lol i would be so sad if my child came out like this, i want my child to be normal please god

[annalisa0]

@mytotallyawesomename My son wasn't born like this either - do your childhood immunization research before your child is born

sorry those of you reading the comments, I had some unpolite comments that I had not removed, but one raised a good question that I will answer. Why did I post this, of my child with a disability? (profanity removed)

Two reasons, first many people have stumbled upon it and this was their first realization that this kind of behavior can be autism. Early intervention is important, if YouTube helps, so be it. see next post for reason #2

[annalisa0]

2nd reason, now I can look at the video and see all the progress my son has made. He can talk with two words together, he doesn't point and squeal anymore. He does still stim (hand flapping) but not nearly as much as he did back then. If I didn't have videos and photos of him at his worst, it would be hard to recognize the progress he has made. My son is not recovered, but has made huge gains due to proper behavioral and medical care. See Talk About Curing Autism website for videos

He's adorable; reminds me a lot of my own son.... Ignore the pea-brains online and keep having fun with that awesome little boy!!!

@woofer0doofer I don't want to cure him of hand flapping, I want his brain to be able to process what he sees and what he hears, I want his gut to digest the food he eats properly, I want him to not have seizures so he can be safe and enjoy life. I want him to not have to work so hard to communicate whether it be through speech or typing. I want his immune system to work on fending off colds instead of attacking brain tissue. What my son has is NOT what you have.

@mytotallyawesomename or maybe they will be a pig wasting time on the internet like its father!

@annalisa0 I know u love ur son but we don't want to be cured flapping hands doesn't hurt anyone if people have a problem they can change their attitude before someone can change their natural way of being.

Thank you for posting this. I work in a self contained preschool, and another aide used the word 'stimming', something I had never heard before. This came up when I googled it, so helpful! Your son is beautiful and very lucky to have a mom like you <3

@annalisa0 Actually there's no real evidence that jags are what makes the child develop autism. Most children show signs of autism at the age of three, and it just so happens it's timed when they're immunised. But, good lord! to the first comment! He's not abnormal! He's still a human being, he can still function and he still has a fantastic mind. Just because you're not used to something doesn't mean it's wrong

@Jubbie74 i started my journey into a diagnosis with my son a year ago and this was the first video i found and now my son has been diagnosed, i found this video helped ty xx

[mrsdelapo]

Thanks for posting this video. It is so helpful (as a teacher and a parent) to see stimming portrayed in a realistic situation. Your sharing is a brave, loving, and teaching act. I appreciate it.

@multisnootyundead I think he has low functioning autism.
