  • I agree that we never give up! My grandson is so much like your son. He can articulate well when he does speak. He uses single words (labels) for food, and favorite things. Though sometimes it is very hard pulling words out of him. Lately his teachers say he isn't focused at school.

  • @ckcarlson1 I wish we had a portable SPECT scan to see how the brain fluctuates throughout the week.....I think in some cases of autism, there are some rapid fluctuations of blood flow, etc....it's like a cerebral roller coaster ride for the person...always stuck between this plane, trying to get to the higher functioning one...keeping brain healthy is critical..so it can better make those connections..

  • have you tried PECS, look it up on here, its an amazing communication tool. Autism is a visual world. He looks very happy here! you are doing a great job

  • Yes, tried pecs, but he doesn't seem interested, not to say he won't be interested next month or next year...with severe autism, it's important not to give up, I've read stories where a 30 yr. old autistic man began saying his first words, and nobody could figure out why, it just happened....miracles are always possible at any age.

  • love you Jamers

  • That video was utterly precious. I am curious---has he said any words at all, ever?

  • I was wondering if jamie had any communication device that he uses on a daily basis to communicate his needs?? Such as pecs?

  • wonderful, his sister seems nice, did you make him applebread?

  • i live near the border of torrance but i can work with people like jamie as i volunteer

  • @kgaccount who the 30 year old man

  • Wonderful moment ! Made me cry with happiness.

    Greetings from the Netherlands..

  • He may have his own confused mind but you can actually see that he has a sense of love...

  • Ahhhh this makes me so happy!!! I've watched a lot of your videos and seeing this improvement really makes me smile :)
