In this video, a mother talks about the progress of her son, who was diagnosed with autism and mental retardation (MR).
About two years ago, the boy began to experience changes related to stress and the move. He became more picky about food, developed stims (repetitive movements or sounds), and became more restless and capricious.
After the move, my son's speech stopped developing and he became less active. At the preschool, they noticed his moodiness and inconsistent eye contact. Doctors confirmed the diagnosis of developmental delay and borderline autism.
Since the start of the course, the boy began developing conversational speech, expressing emotions, and showing interest in the world around him. His eye contact and interaction with his brother have improved.
My son became more active and attentive to his surroundings, began responding to his name, and showed interest in his phone. He stopped expressing his emotions aggressively and became more gentle. His response to his name and interactions with others improved.
The child began waking up at night, which is related to his body's adjustments. Previously, he was a sound sleeper, waking only when his diaper leaked. After starting the course, the child began going to the toilet independently, first with his parents' help, and then without it.
The child had a good appetite but stopped eating meat. He began trying new dishes, such as chicken and dumplings.
The boy improved his understanding of spoken language, began to express his desires and feelings, and stopped asking for forbidden foods.
The mother is delighted with her son's success and thanks him for his support. The family is open to new victories and successes.
It's important to note that a diagnosis of developmental delay is not a death sentence , and with the right approach and support from loved ones, a child can achieve significant developmental success. This is precisely what this video demonstrates.
You can learn about other results achieved in JUST 2 MONTHS on the course by watching a parent's video report.

Parent: Elena
Child: Anton, 3,11 years old
Country: USA
🍎1. On the street, I rarely paid attention and was caught up in what was going on. For the last year, I mostly went for walks with my phone in my hand.
🍏 Now he's walking with a phone, but he's started paying attention and showing interest in his surroundings. He can name different types of car bodies, pay attention to people passing by, and look in the direction of an object when we point it out.
🍎2. He might not respond to his name the first time.
🍏 Now he reacts much more often, but he may not respond the first time if he is very passionate about something.
🍎3. Not interested in cleaning, cooking, or other household chores.
🍏 He started helping very actively: cooking, wiping, vacuuming, etc. He really likes it when he is praised for his help and thanked.
🍎4. I wanted to eat chips and salted crackers.
🍏He stopped asking for forbidden foods. He doesn't react to them at all in the store.
🍎5. If something didn't work out, he'd get hysterical, throw things, and lie down on the floor in protest.
🍏Now she asks for help if something is wrong. But it's still accompanied by light crying, and sometimes it can escalate into mild hysteria.
🍎6. It was impossible to sit him on the toilet with a child seat, he started crying and writhing.
🍏 Right now he can't ask to go on his own yet; he doesn't understand the sensation. But he willingly comes with me if I offer, only to pee. Sometimes he can even go on his own if I ask. But he hasn't gone to the toilet yet.
🍎7. When he was happy or emotional about something, he could pinch or scratch me on the neck or face.
🍏 Now he might give me a little smack sometimes. But he still hits his older brother and sometimes bites him.
🍎8. I didn’t call my husband “dad” before, I wasn’t particularly interested in him.
🍏He began to pay more attention to me, he likes to spend time with me and play.
🍎9. He practically ignored his older brother, didn’t play with him, and didn’t call him by his name.
🍏 Now she's more willing to spend time with him, and she can come up to him and ask for help. She's starting to approach him and ask to play tag.
🍎10. It was impossible to take the phone away.
🍏It's much easier to part with it now. At home, he knows for sure that I won't give him the phone. When he comes home, he gives it to me and thanks me.
🍎11. I didn't used to like live-action cartoons, only educational and informative ones.
🍏 Now he likes to watch cartoons where there are many different characters and they interact with each other.
🍎12. He used to be more active and uncontrollable when watching cartoons, he could react very emotionally: jumping, screaming, laughing.
🍏 Now Seichps watches cartoons more calmly and reservedly, but there are still a couple of cartoons that really upset his emotional balance and excite him. I try to prevent him from watching them. But he still often watches the same cartoons over and over again.
🍎13. He used to be very categorical; if he wanted something, it was hard to convince him otherwise.
🍏 He's become more accommodating now. He can be persuaded without hysterics.
🍎14. Previously, when they told him no, he would throw toys or objects and become very emotional.
🍏Now he reacts more calmly to refusal, and if he gets upset, he just cries, but doesn’t throw a fit.
🍎15. He wasn't particularly interested in the process of putting on clothes, but he helped with his hands and feet.
🍏 He's become more independent now, but he still needs help getting dressed, but he undresses almost entirely on his own. He enjoys being independent.
🍎16. He might not look at strangers for long and ignore them.
🍏Now he almost always notices strangers, sometimes he is the first to come up to say hello, his gaze has become long and intent, sometimes even piercing.
🍎17. Rarely did anything around the house.
🍏He loves helping while cooking, commenting on what he's doing. He picks through the vegetables, listing everything. He's even started snatching spoons from me when I'm cooking. He really enjoys doing things together and taking the initiative.
🍎18. He was bad at waiting.
🍏I began to better understand that I need to wait or switch actions.
🍎19. He loved kissing and hugging.
🍏Now contact has become even more important - it is necessary to hug, have a lot of tactile moments, hold hands.
🍎 20. Over the past few months, he's started frequently plugging his ears with his fingers, sometimes even making a humming sound. At school, they started giving him noise-canceling headphones.
🍏Now he rarely shuts up. At school, I don't ask for headphones anymore.
🍎Sleep is still a problem for us. Before LTP, this wasn't a problem. He fell asleep quickly and on his own and practically never woke up. Now we have to sit with him, sometimes holding his hand while he falls asleep. It's become much slower now. He wakes up at night and comes into bed with my husband and me, and sleeps with us until the morning.
🍎 He's become more dependent on me. He's cranky and starts crying if I go out somewhere, when he loses sight of me, or if we're in the same space. He starts calling and begging for his mom to come back.
🍎 She continues to walk on her toes very often at home. There haven't been any significant changes, but when I point this out, she immediately stands on her entire foot, but soon goes back to her toes. We haven't yet found a specialist nearby who performs craniosacral therapy for children.
🍎He started chewing on everything very hard, he bites off the silicone tubes of bottles, sucks on clothes that are close to his face (shirt collar, jacket collar), and sometimes he started putting his fingers in his mouth and sucking on them.
🍎 He's become very sensitive to the touch of skin. He always has to touch my body. He reaches under my clothes from the back and strokes them. He used to only touch me like that, but now he tries to touch his dad's body too. He also loves to stroke my back.
🍏 He's become more social. He pays attention to other children on the playground and in class. He lets you play with him if he's interested.
🍏 Academically, he's ahead of his typically developing peers. He's known the entire English alphabet since he was 1 year old. Now he can count independently to 100, is beginning to master addition, and can read in English. He knows all the planets in the solar system, their satellites, and galaxies. He has a phenomenal memory and curiosity. This all helps him learn. He does this entirely on his own initiative; we don't even guide him. We simply support his interest and initiative.
🍏. He's started talking more and is starting to form his own dialogues. He asks more questions. His speech is slowly beginning to recover. His vocabulary is on par with that of a much older child, but he still struggles with unrelated phrases.
🍏 He's become very interested in musical instruments. He finds it easier to remember songs in phrases than to construct the phrases himself.
🍏 He's starting to show empathy. He apologizes when he's been naughty. This doesn't always happen, but it happens quite often. He understands and acknowledges when he's being naughty. When I react emotionally, he asks for a hug and says, "Hug." I constantly explain and tell him why this happens and how important it is to talk about it.
