Also, Alphie is not ‘just repeating’. His brain is still taking in EVERYTHING, just like Poppy. It’s just a difference in processing. My daughter did not speak for two years, then started speaking when we were going down the aisle at the pharmacy - reading the labels! Complicated, medical words! Today she is 18 and has almost finished two years of college academically, but she cannot do so many simple social things, like go to the grocery store without getting anxious or lost on the way home. Intelligence is more of a wheel than a straight line. Please don’t think Alphie doesn’t understand who is lying and who is not.

I have noticed this as well and because of his autism it’s hard to tell where that comes from. People on the spectrum sometimes rub people the wrong way because they bring things back to themselves because they’re trying to show they relate and understand the topic and it can come off very self centered. So it’s hard to see his true motives sometimes especially when you don’t know this person, personally.

I feel like giving him a platform at this point is just about trying to get views and make money. Also, I think it’s perfectly valid to shut out a person who spews the venom that Stephen has been vomiting all over the internet the last few years. I am not anti Stephen based on your marriage/divorce. That’s your business. And I don’t join teams with people I KNOW let alone strangers on KZitem. But I have every right to hear and be repulsed by the things he says about trans people, minorities, misogyny, homophobia - right wing conspiracy, ultra toxic masculinity …. there is a reason he doesn’t get jobs from the big connections he has … there is a reason he got his KZitem channel taken away … even the way he so casually calls certain people ugly … meaning it literally. As in ‘a man can only be platonically friends with a woman who is really ugly. I cannot stand that you’re giving him this platform. *Also, ideally it’s great you can eliminate lawyers but lawyers and having a lawyer in a divorce ESPECIALLY when kids are involved; is often a very wise decision. It helps to take away the power of emotional manipulation which clearly is still going on here. You didn’t just split up for no reason. He tried to kill himself. I don’t know if he had relapsed or what was going on and again, it’s not my business. Bu your boundaries with this man need to be rock solid for your protection and the protection of your children.

I see two adults that were together in a toxic relationship and looking back and picking it apart to see the finer details of things and better understanding the other person and what they were going through and learning what they need to change for the next person they let into their life. They’re talking to learn, and to relieve themselves from some of the trauma.

Im an ABA and one of my favorite things to do with kiddos if I know they're just repeating me instead of saying actual sentences like "Hi, my name is Alfie" is begin to shorten it and point. So ill point to myself and say "Hi, my name is..." And point to Alfie and he will say Alfie. Then "Hi, my name.." and he will say "is Alfie" all the way down until he says tbe full sentence alone. The only "issue" is once they get down a full sentence, it does kind of become a hyper fixation sentence for a bit where they say it all the time randomly lol. But its them growing confidence in the sentence. Any confidence in any sentence for a kiddo who is nonverbal is absolutely critical for them to be confident in speech. In ABA were taught not to teach speech in a song, because it makes the kiddo confident in the song and not the words. We use a lot of visuals to speech. Like showing a picture of a cat and asking what is this? And they say cat Then i add to it by saying cats say meow! What sound does a cat make? What color is this cats fur? Ect. Theres so many words you can teach a kiddo with one picture. It is a lot of repetition, but confidence in words leads to confidence in speech. Its all a beautiful wonderful journey.

My 15 year old son is on the higher functioning side of tge spectrum. At 3, he was not potty trained, could not feed himself with a spoon or fork, and he had only 2 words. He is now about to start 10th grade fully integrated into main stream co-teaching academic classes. He has an IEP and has a support parapro for academic classes only. He has friends and so many of his peers know who he is. He still struggles with parts of his Autism. He likely always will. But he is a brilliant short film maker (Been film making since 4 years old) and loves making commercials and bumpers for existing companies. His Audio/Video teacher is blown away by his talents and abilities in film making and editing. And he is helping to lead my son into an Audio/video career. My point in saying all this...Alfie is just at the beginning of his journey. In 10 years you will be amazed at how much he has accomplished! Just keep doing what you are doing...being involved, loving parents. Cheer him on, encourage and support him with the tough stuff. And love every moment of watching him grow up into his identity. It's ok that he doesn't say "My name is Alfie". That will come in time. When my son was 5, people would ask him what his name was and he woukd say, "I'm fine." At 15, he properly introduces himself, tell the person it's nice to meet them, will high 5 his friends when he's walking down the hall at school and tell them "Hey my man". He's able. Very able. And Alfie will grow to be so able that it will make you happy and sad at tge same time. Trust me. I'm a mom of 5 and the son I'm speaking of is the last to remain at home. As our rolls as parents change its such a mix of emotions...happy/sad, excitement/worry, proud/nervous. The process of them growing up is such a whirlwind and it will go by so much faster than you can imagine. You two are great parents...you've got this! And it's because you try to provide your kids with resources and tools to grow and love and support when they stumble or struggle. Autism is a family lifestyle...embracing it is the biggest bump in the ride. After that, you are empowered to ask questions, to learn, to celebrate, to find creative solutions to struggles, to overcome obstacles and stigmas TOGETHER. My family is an Autism family...and we are proud of who we are. And I think your family is proud of who they are too. That's why Alfie's life will be a great one! Bravo to the two of you for being such amazing parents to both of your kiddos!

I made the first move with my husband and we are still together after 15 years, known each other 22 years though. Been married almost 10 years. My ex made the first move with me and left me after 3 and a half years. So I don't know if it matters who makes the first move. I think what is more important is that it is the right person and how you get through the good and bad times together.

In general, I do not think you can tell how a child will be throughout schooling when they are only 5 yrs old. While autism was not a factor, my one child who struggled and needed the most services up until 3rd grade is my child who thrived the most in the later years. When younger, he needed so many services, and there was huge academic and social concern. He just graduated high school, being the only student in his class who took 5 AP level classes his senior year. Taking that many advanced level classes are usually not allowed, but he handled it well and graduated with high honors, also being my social butterfly with a huge circle of friends.

These episodes are like therapy for you both. Wholesome! I’ve watched everything that has been made public from these two (while together and not) and I just don’t understand all the hate. For the people commenting that he’s trying to manipulate her- do you not think that applies to you as well, commenting these unsolicited opinions and trying to influence her actions/ feelings? They’re adults and both are quite capable of making their own decisions.

22:47 My 19 year old son (🙋🏼♀️ super proud mama bear here) is 6ft 4in/14 in men’s shoes and he was a premie. Blonde hair and big blue eyes…. He’s still the jolly green giant 😜 but I will say this…. I never need a ladder 🪜 and I’ve saved money never needing to buy skis! He’s got built in skis lol 😂💜 I truly think you guys are doing amazing co-parenting, which is so rare. I tried to with my son’s…. Not calling him a father he is most definitely just the donor of sperm. I was always respectful and never spoke of the donor in any negative way but kids grow up and see things for themselves. The day he turned 18 he immediately went to the courthouse to file for a surname change. I really enjoyed the episode! 💜

I've known that he's dated but there's only been 2 out of the 5 he's dated that have come out with ridiculous stories and I really hope he tells his side of the story. The 2 used his name and brand for clout neither have worked a day in their lives. One inherited her mother's home, the other sleeps on the floor of any place she can find. They're not a bit ashamed to say.... that he wanted to get them both pregnant at the same time. We're talking middle age over 30yr old women and neither knew how to use birth control? Disgusting, because he only saw the one 2 times. I want to hear the other side. All I've seen since they have talked about him is one set up a go fund me. The other is a poser trying to act like Laura. 😂😂😂😂

Whoa genuine question, Does it still count as X years sober in NA if you use in that time? I always assumed any relapse started you back at day one? I know relapse is a common part of recovery but that is still a bit confusing to me. I can see not wanting people to throw away their progress.

Laura, you’re not comparing the situation of a women chasing a man with sexually aggressive content to the equivalent, a man chasing a women using d*ck pics and w*nk videos. Maybe a man may feel less vulnerable to that content and be more likely to hook up but for both, the outcome would be the same I bet in most… no ongoing connection. Bottled water or scarf dropping or a none aggressive approach but an approach all the same, both men and women can start something like that and usually takes effort from both sides there on (if you get dressed up or choose a place for a date or cook them a meal etc). I’ve been on both sides of dropping the scarf or somebody striking up a convo and asking to meet up again and all have been long relationships. The difference is a women in Stephens shoes would likely identify that content as a criminal offence, society hasn’t caught up to it yet that women are aggressors and that Stephen was being sexually harassed regardless if he later hooked up with some of them.

People grow and change. You can’t tell how a child will change and grow over the years at 5 years old. Kids on the Spectrum are just like everyone else. They will grow and change developing along the way. Human development happens over a lifetime. And you can’t really base what a kid is gonna be like a 5 years old. Just let them grow and help and support them along the way. And enjoy the ride. Parenting is an amazing experience.

Stephen does not need to be in AA. Stephen was totes drug seeking at the end of the video… “where are they” Laura heard it… “on that note…” Stephen needs NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS. AA is NOT the right program for him. Alcohol is a drug. NA will cover that need, but Stephen needs a sponsor that knows what it is to be a pillhead. Otherwise, Stephen can step right around an AA sponsor. Subconscious sniffing.. count how many times he does it. NA also has virtual meetings.
