** Re-uploaded from my Instagram account from January 2022. Chandler just turned 2 years old and we are currently doing early intervention services. A lot of friends suggested to upload my video to share onto YouTube as well to help others in a similar situation to us. Both my husband and I watched so many YouTube videos that other families have shared and it honestly helped us so much in terms of identifying some signs early on. I hope this is helpful and will try to update you as we continue to learn on this journey with Chandler. **

Hi everyone! Sorry the volume of my voice-overs are so low for this video... I was too lazy to actually record with my mic so volume up if you want to hear what I'm saying!

It's been a really busy start to the new year for us since we finally started therapy services for Chandler through CA's Early Start program. We've also gotten an official autism diagnosis now as well for insurance purposes which is a whole other topic of discussion. Anyways, a lot of people have asked me how we even picked up on any signs at such a young age and it was primarily because of what we saw other families share online as well. So like I said in the past, I'm going to share our journey with Chandler with all of you in hopes are spreading more awareness on autism.

These are just some of the early signs we noticed but again it's a spectrum so every one is different. Chan chan is still so young so all of his therapy services are play-based right now but we're hoping to see some progress within the next 6 months! Also, if Chandler totally ignores you the next time you see him in person, now you'll know it's really not you, it's him (but sometimes it can actually be you if you're too much into his personal space 😆)
