7 Aspergers In Childhood signs (YOU need to KNOW!)

Do you relate to this as a kid!?

Anyone else watch certain movies over and over and over again... and it calms them down? That's my form of "stimming". 🙄 I don't know anyone else that does this.....

There will NEVER be enough words in any language to properly express my full gratitude for you, your amazing channel, and videos!!! My son will be 12 tomorrow (Aspergers, ADHD, and Tourettes) and this video alone has described him 110% dead on! Your videos have made me step back and change some of my parenting ways! Thank you for sharing yourself and info it is incredibly helpful and has even helped us understand him better than we ever thought we could! Thank you so so very much!! 😁

I have always zoned out. I wish I had a dollar for every time I was told by my teachers to "stop daydreaming."

My 15 year old son has ADHD, Asperger & Emotional Disturbance. He was diagnosed at the age of 8. He use to line his toys up all the time when he was very young, never like to be around a crowd of people and lack of verbal skills. But, a very intellectual wise loving human being I've know. I love him sooo much ! Thank God for my son😭🤗❤. Thanks for sharing & making this video.

I loved to build "worlds" out of figures and hated to get away from it. Then I had a Meltdown most of the times.

Apparently walking on top toes is common for children on the spectrum, when we brought my son to be diagnosed we were told that was something they look at. He's 8 and doesn't do it anymore.

Lights, abrupt noises, or crowd of people who keep getting louder and louder. I have had both blowups and a shut downs.

Good video. I am fed up of being told by others that my child is just being fussy or picky or that i need to be more strict on him. My son definately ticks every box for aspergers and once i get the diagnosis i will shove it in everyones faces, i am tired of being accused of encouraging his fussyness, he is such a beautiful sensitive little boy who just needs understanding from the adults around him.

I’m very curious about the whole zoning out thing. Being hyper focused on something you almost like turn off your hearing to your surroundings it’s like ultra sound. Autism is a super power. But with every super power people have misunderstandings about. Example of my expirence zoning is reading books in a noisy classroom. Minute I’m super focused on the book, myhearing turns off to my surroundings. I don’t hear what anyone says until I turn back my focus to them. It’s really strange to think of it from a different point of view. Best way to explain it is like having the ability to turn off hearing at will.

I think the zoning out may be a coping mechanism for overstimulation. Like disassociation... I tend to do it when to many people are talking at the same time or to many noise. My family always said oh she is in a daze again.... but now as an adult I realize that is more.

The last sign is very interesting. One of my hyper focus is language. I can hear an accent and immediately duplicate it. Im currently fluent in seven languages and my daughter shares many of my traits and stims. But more strikingly to her mother is how fast she has picked up Hebrew and German.

I have learnt so much from you. We are needing a cabin built in a short while, and I actually thought "I wish I could find someone with Asperger's to do the build for me....not out of a need to help people who are struggling, but because the traits of Aspergers would make the build better!!!!

Loved the bonus #8. I had my kinder teacher call in my parents for conference because my accent did not match the area I was from. I watched a lot to public broadcasting and had developed an Northern America accent while always living in the Southern US. I still have to be careful when around people, because my speech patterns and dialects will change to match who I am conversing with even at 50.

My son Joshua has has been putting his toy cars in lines for 8 years. He actually did it today too!😁💞 Autism is so Awesome!!!🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💯

Zoning out has been my major thing. I used to flap at the same time, but now I flick my fingers. My teachers used to say 'stop trying to fly away!' My boss at work called it 'being zen', he could call my name several times and I had no idea because I was so focused on my work.

When I was little I loved the toy little people and I would always put them in circles and stare at it

Thank you, your list describes my son 100%. We'd always thought he was just being difficult but I think this changes everything.

All of these symptoms really hit home for me, it’s fascinating.

This brings back memories when I lined up matchbox cars, soft toys and Golden Books. I had obsessions that came and went, still does this day on. Very helpful video for people who are raising children on the spectrum.
