  1. I love aurora so much, I love you allšŸ’– also just wanted to say itā€™s not called Aspergerā€™s anymore (some many still use it or call it that) but itā€™s ASD now (autism spectrum disorder)

  2. If I was a gambler I'd bet she's somehow seen Pennywise!!!! It recently happened with my grandson (thanks to few of the older grandkids) and my son and his wife are experiencing the EXACT SAME ISSUE!!

  3. i worked with kids with autism. I am not seeing it at all, not even aspergers. technically the speech delay is too much to qualify for an aspergers diagnosis if no single words by age 2 and no phrases by 3. do they formally list apraxia of speech as a diagnosis? in theory if a person just can't physically talk because of another issue, but does otherwise communicate within aspergers guidelines, it could be aspergers. They also say you can't have ID and aspergers. But if you think about it, a person with Down Syndrome could have an IQ of 70. The IQ is clearly attributed to the DS, a doctor may opt to call it aspergers if the autism symptoms are mild. These videos will be really good to review if you are reconsidering the autism diagnosis. I had one student we went back and forth on the diagnosis for a few years. Around 5, he was caught up with language and was more socially connected. It wasn't until his parents renovated the house and he had a backslide because of all the disruption that it was clear it was autism. He is right on the cusp of aspergers. He just started his 3rd year at a high tech college…has a driver's license and lives on campus unsupervised….6 hours from his parents

  4. Aaron, so I get cold sores constantly. I was also using Lysine and taking the pills every day. But I recently found a medicine that has made mine disappear in like 5 days. It's called Herpicine L. it comes in a small tube, and it also has lidocaine in it to help with the pain and itching. And I have never found anything that works better than it. I hope it works as well as it's been working for me!!!!

  5. Aspergerā€™s is on the autism spectrum. World wide they are taking away labels such as Aspergerā€™s and itā€™s now levelled , level 1/2/3 etc. Aspergerā€™s is level one autism and is often high functioning. My son has it

  6. Aaron Lysine never worked for me. See if your doctor or dentist can give you a prescription for valtrex. You take one as soon as you feel the cold sore coming on and then you will never get it. Itā€™s a life saver. Hope this helps. Also sun or very cold will trigger cold sores. So try lip sunscreen.

  7. I have problems saying my Bs my dental hygienist recently told me i have a tongue tie. I am almost 60 in December. Never was told this by any dentist. That i had this. May explain why i have problems saying certain words

  8. Hey, I am new here and I saw some Videos and I was wondering why Aurora lives by your family and not by Jamie because she is her biological mom ?? Thank you for answering šŸ’—

  9. AARON, NO KISSING WITH A COLD SORE. NO SHARING OF DRINKS. THOSE THINGS ARE HIGHLY CONTAGEOUS!!! YOU KISSED AURORA'S FOREHEAD TWICE. SHE COULD WIPE HER HEAD AND THEN HER EYE OR MOUTH. NO, NO, NO!!!!
    WRITING IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I CARE. šŸ’€ā˜ 

  10. Her developing a lisp may be from hearing a friend in school talk šŸ˜… I know when I was young I often changed my speech to match friends in school I grew out of it in the middle of 1st grade.

  11. Hey I saw you were saying how the doctors are saying she doesnā€™t have autism, tho I did think that she does too, but what Iā€™ve just learned and what doctors are learning now is that girls donā€™t show the typical symptoms and traits that boys show, and girls are now diagnosed on a whole different assessment as girls with autism tend to mask there symptoms and go through life undiagnosed and miss diagnosed till there adult hood Iā€™m 22 and Iā€™m under assessment, as the modern medicine is moving on so are doctors and girls symptoms to autism compared to males are soo different little bit from an article as scientists are now doing more studys in females rather then male, all of the symptoms and traits are all studies on the males, Little girls were reported to be more likely than boys to mimic others in social situations and to want to fit in with other kids. ā€œThey often develop a way to camouflage their symptoms. Also, they tend to obsess over friendships and can develop them, or one or two close and like-minded allies,ā€ says Robyn Young, an associate professor of psychology at Flinders University in Australia and a member of Hillerā€™s team.

    Boys are more likely to withdraw and isolate themselves from others. In fact, the boysā€™ parents tended to be more worried about their sonsā€™ isolation, while the girlsā€™ parents reported more concerns about emotional outbursts such as meltdowns.2 A separate study, of children in the Simons Simplex Collection, added irritability and lethargy to the list of problems that affect girls more than boys with ASD.7

    Girls control their emotions better at school, where they act far differently than they do at home, according to several studies of children with autism and average-range IQ.2,3,4 Teachers are much less likely to voice concerns about girls than boys.2 That is ā€œpossibly because boys are more disruptive,ā€ Young said. Teachers appear to focus more of their attention on boys with autism, who reportedly struggle with hyperactivity and classroom behavior.4

    Nonetheless, girls with autism are just as impaired, or more impaired, in their social and communication skills, according to some studies.4,7 Boys and girls have similar problems with understanding social situations. But some girls have an edge on boys when it comes to using gestures and maintaining a conversation.3 please look in to it and rethink speaking to your doctor

  12. Aurora has overcome some hurdles in her life, and is coming along so well. She has a strong loving family to help her succeed. Blessings to you all.

  13. For the stuffed animals, they make empty zippered bean bags that you can use to stuff the stuffed animals in them. My 7 year old LOVES hers. Works as storage and extra seating

  14. I have had speech issues all of my life. Years of speech therapy. Now I can speak ā€œnormallyā€, but if I am around someone with a different speech issue, like a stutter, I can ā€œpick it upā€ without thinking about it. Maybe a friend at school has a lisp.

  15. I had epilepsy as a child and had my last seizure at the age of ten. Our bodies change rapidly every 7 year until you are 21 and I have been told that a lot of children grow out of epilepsy but if yo7 still have it at 21 you have it for life but she is still young so hereā€™s hoping. Sheā€™s lucky t9 have you both and all that extra support from her brothers and sisters

  16. my step mum had epilepsy and i saw from a yong child her going into seizures the fist time was very screy but i got use to it and help as when she did go into one we had to make sure she wont bang her heard i rember my dad having to roll her over on her side and wait with her until she stop shaking when she came around she was so dazed we hepled her to sit up and just had to wait till she stared to feel a littel better i hope and pray for Aurora that hers have gone and will never come back as i know it not esey to live with she is so blessed to have got you and her family in her life to help my prays will always be with her that she will stay well god bless you all šŸ’•
