I have autism and I know the struggle of doing a lot of things. One of the biggest challenges for me is being able to communicate my emotions and thoughts. I couldn't fully do this until almost high school. It takes a strong woman to be a mother to someone with autism and for your son to have 2 mom's only makes his chances of being independent when he is my age a lot higher. He is doing great. Keep up the good work. You guys are great moms.

It makes me so happy that Jayden has such loving and supportive parents and that you've been so positive about his personality and possible autism diagnosis from the beginning. Your kids are truly lucky to have that support, no matter what the label (or lack of) is. We were told that I was on the spectrum when I was 8 and my mom REFUSED to accept the diagnosis, denied it happened, and therefore I missed out on a lot of the support and services that likely would have helped. 💙

I love how you treat your children, both you and your wife, how you raise them teaching them at their own pace and always respecting the way they are, everything about them. As a trans boy, I have not felt much respect from my parents even to my tastes since I was really young, it is so nice you give your children space to grow and develope being themselves.

I'm pretty sure I have autism and I would never have been diagnosed as a child because I would never have "needed" it; my mom probably also is on the spectrum and I did okay in places like school where they usually "catch" autistic kids because the kids start having trouble but otherwise I had my different-than-general needs met. It's all a spectrum so some autistic people will be more noticeable and some won't be, and so I think it's awesome Jayden will keep getting access to those services if they're helping him because I think all kids should have access to what helps regardless of diagnosis or not.
I love how y'all move with each individual child at their own pace because imo that's the most important part of child raising that sometimes gets overlooked in favor of general milestones. And blue heart emoji bc I'm on laptop, but keep up the good work! I can't imagine potty training one boy let alone two LOL

He is just like my son! My boy is 17 yrs now but he still has his ticks. Lines up his train collection, tiptoe walks and flaps his hands when he is tired or excited, ahead of kids his age, isn't a big touchy feely person, loves to talk about his favorite things ( science, math, mechanics, and trains ) , shows his love differently but makes sure he knows you know, etc..... anyway I feel like you guys are doing amazing! When my guy was potty training it did take a while. He would do okay during the day after about 3 yrs and at night he didn't fully potty train till 5 yrs. We would put cheerios in the toilet and have him practice aiming! He loved it and quickly learned after introducing the cheerios! Good luck! Keep up the great parenting!

Ebony you are ON POINT! You are the epitome of a great mom(mommy as your kids refer to you as) and are doing what every parent and person should do by seeing the child for them and not their potential/ concrete diagnosis. I resect that so much as I too have a disability and think it is very important to look at all aspects of a person and not just half or a quarter of what makes up their personality/ being. And also 💙
Keep up the good work💙

Unfortunately Autism is misdiagnosed a lot. However he has excelled a lot! Kids with autism are very smart . He is incredibly smart! I work with preschoolers on the spectrum and they are doing the exact same thing Jayden is doing. I love how the services are working out great for him!
