This is Tristan he is almost three years old. Recently found out he's autistic. I've started recording more and more videos of him doing what he does during the day. if anyone has any input to certain things he does with his behavior, please leave a comment. This is all new to us. If i understand correctly he's stimming. Sorry, I don't have a very steady hand with our tiny camera. The voice you hear in the background is his daddy talking on the phone.

  • There is no support to show that vaccines cause autism. In fact, it was discovered that the guy who did the study showing a correlation actually was giving false information. It is a coincidence that autism symptoms can sometimes appear around the time children get their shots. This is not to say we don't know it is not caused by environmental toxins, but not vaccinating kids puts them in more danger of getting dangerous childhood diseases than vaccinating them does.

  • It's almost like hes laughing at something.. Paying attention to something else in the room... may sound very Stupid but young kids apparently do happen to see spirits?

  • Multiple studies have been done since the one linking autism and vaccines, and the conglomerate of evidence does not support a connection. Wakefield, the researcher who "discovered" the link was found to be guilty of fraud for falsifying data because he was paid by a law firm that wanted to sue vaccine manufacturers. Obviously injecting kids with something that contains mercury is a bad idea, but the MMR vaccines no longer have it and kids continue to be diagnosed with autism.

  • @autismmommyof2 It is highly possible that some individuals are more sensitive neurologically than others to ingredients in vaccines and/or the environment, leading to autism or autism-like symptoms.

  • @yasmie52 Please go and learn the common symptoms of autism and stop telling someone not to get intervention for their child. Autism is a real disorder, with real symptoms that can affect their everyday life, and several decades ago people just treated them "like any normal kid" and they did not get the help they needed, and therefore they did not reach their full potential. Severe autism requires therapy. Please don't live under a rock.

  • @karter005 Also, many people with autism are sensitive to sounds and pick up on sounds in their environment that most of us don't notice.

  • @teebles47 And since the CDC and government continue to say, "We still don't know what causes autism," there is also no support that vaccines might not be the cause of some cases of autism. Don't simply accept everything you hear; check into it for yourself. :)

  • @karter005

    You're a fucking idiot if you believe that, or in in ghosts.

  • Dannimyatt, alot of kids with autism like to have a routine. It kind of gives them a sense of peace. My oldest son who has autism learned to function through life through routines. Once he got adapted to his environment he started dropping routines. Although he is obsessed with his hygiene and transformer movies it doesn't affect his every day life. My second son is very clumsy and like to walk on his tippy toes and at the table he behaves the same way as this young child , I think it kinda cut

  • I cannot agree sir, I believe in a genetic predisposition to the disorder which can be triggered by the way vaccinations are dispensed (multiple vs individual as previously done). I've been in too many rooms where each one of us parents (sometimes thousands) can link our child's regression down to the days following the last set of injections. :(

  • Also he was obsessed at one point with thomas the tank engine and could tell me the names of every single train I showed him. He now draws all the time every day constantly. He just always wants to draw. He wakes in the night a lot and gets so upset if his dad decides to take him to bed instead of me as he's used to me taking him. I have posted one video on here if you search for aspergers it's uploaded by dannimyatt2004 today. Can anyone please help? No one has even said to us that it could be?

  • My 4 year old does exactly the same things. And he won't talk to people he doesn't know. He's very clumsy and always knocks his drinks over, has bad balance. He still can't ride a bike he tries pedalling backwards no matter how much you tell him and show him how to do it forwards. When he talks it's difficult to understand some of his words. He repeats sentences over and over. And we struggled to get him out of nappies till he'd just turned 4! Does anyone think this could be autism or aspergers?
