The doctors are wrong

I really need some advice and helpful tips.🥹

Dontay you need to educate yourself on Autism . People with Autism are smart and talk. Some are non-verbal. You need to listen to the experts.

Hey Donte, please don’t let your feelings get in the way of your sons help

Give him more fruits and vegetables to eat its helped me tons

I have 2 kids on the Asperger & Autism Spectrum. Very smart! Early intervention is key! I been doing this for 18yrs very educated on this subject because I’m living it!

Dontay I'm a 54 year old woman who is old enough to be your mother. And I absolutely love your channel. So you need to know that what I'm about to say is in no intent to judge you or attack you ok? I loss my eldest daughter 6/3/20 of covid she was only 31. She would've been 36, 7/19/24 if she lived, and I miss her so much. To make a long story short I see the same signs in Leo that I saw in my Okema at his age. And when you said the " hand flapping " that's the same thing my Okema used to do. If you notice him "roccking back and forth" then that's another sign. Also, repeating everything you say is another. And another sign is the humming. It doesn't matter if you and your child's mother is healthy. One thing about autistic people is that they have a repetitive behavior change is not good. It has to be done slowly. And their attention span is very short. This is just my experience. I WOULD DO ANYTHING, I MEAN ANYTHING TO HAVE MY CHILD HERE WITH ME!!!!😢. So don't be mad at your child's mother. Just like you know him she does too. It maybe a hard pill to swallow that your child has autism, but you need to get out of your feelings and do what you got to do for your son. I can tell you love him and that you're a good father. Just thank God you still have your child and that you can get the help he needs now that he's still young. YOU GOT THIS DONTAY. And GOD GOT YOU ❤❤ 🙏 🤲

I have autism and I’m living a good life. I travel overseas and I’m doing good. Can I have a learning disability too but I drive and I do a lot.

When my mother was working, she was an educational consultant so I have seen classic signs of autism and when I watch videos with you and him, I can tell that he has it, because he echoes a lot of what you say and that is a clear sign of it. I'm sorry, that might not be what you want to hear but it's very true. You and his mother should work with his doctor and the school system to give him the best life and education possible so he can live up to his full potential and become something wonderful. It is very possible and please don't think that diagnosis is bad because it isn't.

BRO I KNEW HE WAS AUTISTIC TWO WEEKS AGO! 😂 YOU HAVE MILD AUTISM TOO DONTAY.. ITS OK ! THATS WHY I LOVE YALL IM GETTING MY DIAGNOSIS MONDAY TOO😂❤

What you said about autism is not correct. There are different levels of autism from mild to severe. Austistic kids do speak as well, my own god child has mild autism and she learned to speak well and went to school. Two years old is the age they diagnose because of the development of the brain at that time. If you watch The Lavigne Life their child Jerry was diagnosed with mild autism and he started learning early from his mom and he plays piano, dance class, super smart in school and at games to even beat adults. BUt some other signs is not having good eye contact, may close their ears because they don't like loud noises, tantrums over small things because they can't express their feelings as well, humming sounds sometimes and so forth, also lining up items love to see things in order. On The Cryer Family his son DION was diagnosed as well with autism and the mother Luv'd by Erica did a video about it but the father Mr. Cryer can't accept it either or mentions it on his channel when he has his son from the mom. Then you have the Jacksons Family on the tube their son Justin, Jr has autism and he plays, says some words, he knows his colors, animals, but can't communicate as well, doesn't pay attention as well and throws tantrums and he has 5 other little brothers so you can see the difference. THING IS, work with him and see if he learns, gives eye contact, picks up speaking more, not having different behavior, the thing is to catch it early so if its a mild case he can overcome it more. Don't let your pride get in the way. All of autistic kids are amazing and some are even geniuses, and do amazing things in life. so start teaching him and working with him.

I think you were in denial if the doctor tell you something believe it no parent wants anything to be wrong with their child but you have to listen. I have a 15-year-old child who’s in special education she’s very intelligent, but she needs those classes because she’s not good at a lot of things and she learns at a slower pace. We can’t be in denial. Something is going on with our children, it will hinder them.

Listen to the professionals and take advantage of the programs that can assist your son. Autism or not, he deserves your full support so that he can be the best that is within him to be as all children deserve. The decision is ultimately up to parents however what do you have to lose by following medical advice for now?

My son has autism also & he acts similar to your son, my son is 9 years old, but with early intervention he’s coming along way

Him being smart does not mean he does not have autism. Dontay please listen and yes do more with him.fresh fruits and vegetables. So far you are at least 2 years behind with him. Yes he does need to be in SPED.

Listen to the doctors. They know the science and research, and have years of training. I observe signs of Autism. Please give your son what he needs. These are the most important years of his life. If you love him, don't deny him what he needs. I would love to see you reading to him and you having longer conversations with him. And never allow him to skip school. I think that you mentioned that in another video. I'm an educator.

As someone who has worked with kids for 9 years with autism, I've observed it. You dont need to give him any medication. Autistic kids on meds usually exhibit behavioral disorders. Accept help and advice because I've seen many guardians with your view, and their child falls through the cracks and before you know it, its too late. At the very least, work with him at home much more. It can help significantly. And I know you adore your son, but if you know that you know it's just not your thing to work with him, vet out some specialists and let them do it. That delay will not improve by itself.l, but it will with time, effort, and patience of you and his mom. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with people who have autism. Sone of the most brilliant, wealthy, inventive people in the world are autistic. As far as special ed goes, i would make sure you stay on them abd let them see you're a concerned and active parent. Examine their program and see exactly what theyre working on with him through the day. Your son seems well behaved and quiet and he could be in a program with kids who are behavirial or with more needs...and as a result, he gets inadequate attention. You both should address that accordingly.

Your denial is going to hurt him more than help him. Listen to the experts.

Autism is a spectrum. At his age it doesn’t matter what the label is as long as he gets the support he needs. Speech therapy would help him in addition to you and mom doing more. You seems to be too focused on the label. The earlier he gets support the better. If he is fine and gets support, it won’t hurt him.

Hi Dontay, I understand about wanting to protect your Son. But being in denial your actually hurting him more. His Mom and you need to come into a happy medium about this. Autism has many different level of spectrums. And it will be good to get a speech therapist. I have a Grandson that have it and your son do show some signs. They all don't act the same. It is better to get help sooner than later. And I have to correct you on something Dontay. Kids with Autism are very smart,they just have a different way of learning. Don't be upset just support Baby Momma for your Son's best benefit. God Bless all three of you. And my God guide you both to do the best thing for your Son.

Man you need to fish that creek
