Nonverbal Autism does not just mean no words, it can be limited words or repeated phrases. She does not primarily use verbal words to communicate. Gestures, hand leading, pointing, babbling, screaming, sign language, and communication devices/cards are her usual go to methods to ask for things. This was definitely a proud mama moment!! 🥹 #asd #autism #autismawareness #adhd #autismacceptance #specialneeds #autistic #autismmom #autismfamily #aspergers #autismspectrumdisorder #autismspectrum #autismsupport #autismlife #autismparents #autismlove #sensoryprocessingdisorder #differentnotless #neurodiversity #autismspeaks #autismdad #actuallyautistic #disability #autismo #anxiety #mentalhealth #downsyndrome #autismcommunity #love #autismadvocate

For reference, she is Autistic and Nonverbal, she does not and did not understand when I initially asked and showed her to just blow it out, she has yet to learn how to do that on command. When I tried to show her, she actually sniffed it up further. But we had this nose sucker and have been using these since she was a baby, literally saved the day! Omg I was genuinely scared and amused at the same time because she actually didn’t put it up her nose, she was eating out of her bowl with her mouth and accidentally sniffed it up. Which she has also been doing since she was a baby because it took her longer than expected to learn how to use utensils. Anyways Thank You @Frida Baby + Frida Mom for creating this amazing nose sucker! lol This is NOT a sponsored video, we actually use this product 💛 #toddler #asd #autism #nonverbal #toddlersoftiktok #momlife
