@autism_mom_life: Sometimes bedtime comes with a rough wave before the calm. ❤️ After taking his nighttime medication, Cash can have a period of increased vocalizations, frustration, and difficulty settling. In the beginning of this video, he’s overwhelmed and screaming while I gently run my fingers through his hair and stay with him, helping him regulate. But this is why I always want to show the whole picture. ❤️ A little while later, he’s sitting up, calmer… and by the end, he’s completely settled and happily telling me what sounds different animals make. 🥹 The hard moments can be intense, but they don’t last forever. Sometimes regulation looks like simply staying close, keeping things safe, and giving him the time and space he needs to come back to himself. This is autism. This is our real life. And this is the progress that happens in the moments people don’t always get to see. ❤️ #a#autismmomlifea#autismawarenessa#autismparentinga#autismacceptancespecialneedsparenting

I feel really bad for the other kids. They are probably overstimulated most of the time.

These comments are terrible. Your such a strong mommy. I’m sure his siblings love him and will grow to understand him.💙

He needs to be regulated. That’s not going to happen when mom won’t put her foot down.

The people who are making negative comments have no idea what it’s like to have a child with severe autism, to live like this everyday and never get a break, everyone has all the answers but I bet it would be different if the show was on the other foot. Praying for your family…

Why not just give him his meds before he gets agitated?

He's probably needs to eat. You know he's hungry.
