Autism usually starts showing around age 2. It’s different in everyone though. Depending on where you are on the spectrum depends on the type of life you will have. I can understand what they’re saying. It’s sad that some people don’t have the right support system. I guess there is still a lot of stigma attached to autism. I struggled growing up with autism. As an adult I do so much better. I live a normal - ish life. I have my routines. I’m married. I’m a student. And I’m going to be a mother. I don’t think I could achieve this if I hadn’t of had my coping mechanisms and my husbands encouragement.
The only problem I have is that they’re so negative about autism in general. I don’t agree with that. I get that they couldn’t cope but they went around the situation the wrong way. It makes me a little bit angry. They need to start with being positive. Positivity rubs off. My baby brother has a worse form of autism than me. He’s 6 years old and he responds so well to positivity. As the elder sibling I love encouraging him and letting him know when he’s done well. My mum makes sure that she sends me what progress he’s made. He’s doing so well.
I’m not only proud of myself for how far I’ve come but I’m also so proud of my brother. He’s still got a long way to go but I know I can help guide him. My husband and my brother get on so well. I think that’s helped him because he can see a visual of how to be with both females and males.
I think that these boys in the clip are quite high up on the spectrum. Unfortunately there is a side to autism where others have it “worse” but the parents need to learn better techniques to learn to cope. It’s not all one sided. It’s about team work and figuring out what works. The negativity from the parents is abit gross. It’s not about forgiving. The son has a condition. These parents need training big time
