In my feelings today... I cry when I watch videos of other people's kids that are autumns age talking or calling for their mom or doing the things autumn can't do.. I have an almost three year old and I'd cry tears of joy just to hear her call me mommy/mom/momma just once.

I'm sure she will, my little brother didn't speak a word until he was 5

That makes me feel better thank you. I just get upset sometimes because she can't do the things she should be able to do and I have 2 kids one almost three and one 16 months and neither have ever called me mom/momma/mommy.. I just feel I'm left out and I feel terrible I can't fix things for them where they can talk normally and do things other kids can do..

I’m sorry 😐. My niece is 4 and she has autism, she was pretty non verbal for a while but is a bit more verbal now she has therapies 2x per week. They said she is like a almost 2 yr old. They have faith she will catch up though. She will be skipping kinder and going to all day therapy when she is 5 and they will teach her then she can start first grade when she’s 6.

Autumn starts A head start program (school) in August. She is very behind on talking and other skills like feeding herself or holding a regular cup. She sees A therapist once a week

that’s great that she is getting the help she needs. You are a wonderful mom and I believe she will achieve many things in life. 💕 I do worry about my niece but I know she will be fine

I understand, savanna isnt autistic but I feel bad that shes so behind. She doesnt talk like normal 3 year olds. She doesnt play like them. She doesnt know numbers, colors or shapes. I just feel like a bad mom because of it but they say it's because of an intellectual disability she has.

That's not your fault though. I know the feeling completely. I feel bad for autumn. She can count to 5 as of like two weeks ago but doesn't say them clearly. She has A few words but only like 3-5. I wish i could fix it for her so badly. I still love her and think the world of her just the way she is, I just wish she could have a completely normal life.

i can 100% relate. Hang in there, getting her into headstart was a great step into helping her thrive, I'm doing the same thing currently but the preschool has ridiculous requirements (assessment testing). All you can do is say that you are doing everything in your ability to get her help.
Lauren🖤··
yes I agree. They are going to test autumn for head start this month or next. We are pretty sure she'll qualify though.
