Did u dress up for this or for something else?

Respond to this video... Learning disabilities come from self doubt. When he stills the mind, and trusts his heart, he can begin to focus. It's unfortunately as simple as that. Some have a harder time with that of course, but all learning obstacles can be overcome with simple heart centered focus, because your heart i your center of consciousness, and unlike your brain, is not malfunctioning.

"an autistic child may not see his mother's face as containing information that he needs", or he may not understand the meaning of the word 'no'.. these are not signs of dysfunction, they are signs that the child has a very independent brain. This is human consciousness evolution. They are the face of the future. The label does nothing for the truth. Wake up people.

@iseeyou75 Ok my son just turned two in April.He's not really talking but he shows interested with other kids. He say lil words such as No, mommy,daddy. He does throw tantrums when he doesnt get his ways.Mostly act crazy around his grandma and throw tantrum with her since she spoils him but around me and his dad, he behaves well. Does it sound like a child with autism? Also can a child tht has NOT been vaccinated gets autism? when do a child usually start using sentences?
