Research shows many parents recognize their own neurodivergence
after their child is diagnosed. Autism and ADHD traits often run in families,
and many adults start noticing those same patterns in themselves
during their child’s evaluation process.

For some, that moment finally puts words
to experiences they’ve had their whole life. For a long time, it went unnamed, unsupported, and misunderstood.
Now families have access to information, screenings,
and the language to describe what’s always been here.

We’re not seeing it in more children…
we’re finally seeing children clearly through our past experiences. 🧩💙

Now imagine navigating all of this… as a child who doesn’t even have the words for it yet.
🧩💙

It’s hard to stay in control when you’re frustrated…
We’re used to a certain way of communicating,
but those moments… that’s the Blessing!

The kiddos learn how to handle emotions by watching how you handle yours.

Shoutout to EVERY mama evolving every chance they get, in every aspect, Autism or not! I pray we all see the fruit of it in their lives when they go off on their own!

My big boy fell in love with this song instantly! It still amazes me how the autistic brain memorizes things so quickly!!

At this age, his 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 and 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘴 were still very prevalent. He knew the words; his brain just couldn’t quite form them, yet. We were also, CONSTANTLY playing and replaying songs around this time!

If you look closely, you’ll notice his hand flapping (a self-stimulating movement that helps regulate excitement) eventually turned to dancing when he noticed it (as practiced in therapy);
and one of the MANY cars he never lets go of… It’s his favorite it’s his way of finding calm, focus, and familiarity in a world that moves too fast, also known as his “𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐌.”

In the very last video, that moment where he leans sideways in his seat? 👀 That’s his that dopamine-seeking ADHD trait, the one we talked about in the last post, at work — always chasing movement, rhythm, and stimulation.

He doesn’t look any different from his peers though, right?
And that’s exactly what makes my boo so beautifully unique. 💙

💡 Awareness isn’t always about “what’s wrong with that kid.”
It’s about learning to recognize the “why” behind their behaviors…
so we can meet them with grace and patience!
