We All Have COVID here unfortunately. Luckily the kids are handling it much better than me as an adult. I apologize for the long gap without posting.
I have been dealing with a lot regarding Yi and Damen. I pulled Yi from Therapy after having some issues with not being on the same page regarding goals and we are waiting to start a new clinic for PT OT and Speech. He is getting a Speech Device. And he is really coming a long way.
I have had some negative comments on some videos with certain videos getting more attention than I intended, and many of those comments either are insulting my son by saying he is going to end up in an institution, saying that he must be neglected or a “drug baby” to “end up like this”.
And while I am fully aware of the ignorance that this spews from, I have come to a point where I am not sure if I feel ok allowing him to be the center of videos that will garner those types of negative comments. Is it fair to him for me to allow stranger to insult him before he even knows what the internet is? I just don’t know where I am going with this channel moving forward.
I do plan to continue with helping others that have Autism in their lives in whatever way that may be and sharing whatever experience I am able. I just think it may look a bit different. I need time to recover from COVID, and then time to figure out what the game plan is from there.
Thank y’all so much for the support y’all have shown us and continue to show us❤️
Sorry for the wait y’all! However, now we are on the other side of our Virus, we got the video up, and hopefully are going to be on Schedule and uploading regularly from this point on! It was really hard to edit this because all of the footage was just so dang adorable! But I know y’all don’t want to watch 35 minutes of Yi playing, no matter how precious he is, so it had to be done!
Yi has Had 2 Seizures worse than what is usual for Him this week, and now Me, Yi, and I believe also Damen by the sounds of him coughing tonight, have come down with a pretty bad virus.
I will be posting weekly on the channel from now on, but with all of the the things that are going on this week, I will just upload a few shorts of some of our days until I can get our video up❤️
First off, I want to start by Thanking every single person who has offered their support, who has trusted me enough to reach out, and share their stories and/or struggles with me.
It feels amazing to have such an understanding community of people to connect with, and I appreciate every single one of you❤️
I am currently working on a video for Yi’s 3.5 year old update, to show how he plays and experiences the world now after a year since the last video.
Now that things are calming down with Damen’s Appointments, I plan on uploading regularly as well as alternating every week on the type of video I am making, whether it focuses on Autism, Homeschooling, or a vlog type video, and honestly whatever else I feel like experimenting with.
I would really appreciate y’all’s feedback through this process so I know what y’all like about the new videos, what y’all think could be done to improve them next time, and what content will impact and benefit y’all the most from here on out ❤️🤟
