5 Signs of Autism in Infants That You Need to Know

Tessie, our 3 1/2 year old daughter is autistic and was initially diagnosed when she was only 18 months old. However we had pretty strong suspicions that she was autistic much earlier than that (she isn't our first child who is autistic) and today I talk about the signs that we saw when she was an infant that she was on the autism spectrum.

As parents to a then six year old on the spectrum, we saw many signs with our youngest child that we believe we probably missed the first time around with our older daughter. While Tessie wouldn't be able to be diagnosed as being autistic until she was 18 months old, we had very little doubt when that she was from the time she was a tiny baby, and today I share exactly what we saw that caused us to know that she wasn't neurotypical, even when she was very tiny.

Welcome to Someday I'll Sleep Autism Vlogs! We talk a lot about autism around here because as a family with four kids and one mom on the autism spectrum we believe that autism acceptance is extremely important. We also post family vlogs daily, about our lives. You'll get glimpses of what's going on at the moment in our lives, usually in a little town in Michigan, or in the city that Paul works in and where we have about a million therapy sessions each week.

This schedule isn't super strict but generally I am trying to stick to it:
Monday- Autism Sit Down Video focusing on Parenting and Autistic Kids
Tuesday- Day in the Life
Wednesday- Fun Activity with the Kids
Thursday- Day in the Life
Friday- Adult Autistic Perspective Sit Down Videos
Saturday- Day Off or News Videos (or sometimes random videos!)
Sunday- other (random, depends on what's going on)

We are a family of 7, with a Mom named Cammie and a Dad named Paul. Sadie is 11, Maggie is 9, Patrick is 7, James is 5, and Tessie is now 3!

If you'd like to help us translate and transcribe our videos we would appreciate it so very much! With 5 kids and lots of appointments Cammie doesn't have very much time left over after she finishes editing videos so transcribing is slow going around here! http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_p...
