Ny first born; My little girl is suspected ADHD so everyday is a battle with her impulsive behaviour and violence alongside the hyperactivity it’s hard however, she’s 5 years old and her teacher is always telling me how hard she’s trying in school especially with phonics she’s in top set for her phonics and it makes me so happy when she demonstrates to me at home with her phonics book how well she’s come on! Makes me extra proud how well she’s come on also because she was so premature and my heart just bursts everyday with her even though the days can be hard I’m so proud of her for just being her🥰🥰x

My 4 year old is autistic and he has an extraordinary visual memory 🥹. Once he sees something he just knows it forever. He learnt 20 flags in 2 days by just looking at the pictures for example. He notices things I would never even pay attention to. He also knows colours in 3 different languages and he could read from the age of 2. He’s so exceptional in many ways 🥹🥰

Good morning ladies 🌞💐. My youngest is the one that deals with ADHD, ODD, and is on the autism spectrum. I can say that he's strong-willed and determined (just trying to get all of that towards the right things).

My 12 year old is ADHD Autistic level 1 and she had straight A's and sings in shows through her voice lesson teacher, she is going to be on the track team next year and is doing very well. She helps around the house and is very good.

Mine is now 10 , and he is exceptional in video editing , strategic gaming , and is a deep empath !

My first born is a little boy of four years old. He is non-verbal Autistic. Has been since he was eighteen months old. We just had his IEP meeting and omg he is doing so many things now. His teachers are like "I'm not sure what happened but he is now playing with toys with more intention and where he didn't feel comfortable going on the slide before now he is playing like any other four year old on the playground". I seriously almost cried. He hasn't been interested in anything before. It has been hard to get him out of his shell. But honestly he is doing so many things and it makes me have hope for him.

So many things! He can put together a large 60 piece floor puzzle for the first time in less than 10 mins.
The coolest thing he does is pull up specific Daniel Tiger video clips on his tablet, and use them as ways to communicate since he’s nonverbal, or imitate the actions in the video.
Just to give one example, one night my husband was out of town which made him very distressed, and he quickly pulled up the “grown ups come back” song and played it on loop 🥹
