The True Red Flag for Autism | www.agentsofspeech.com/micro

Ming argues the real red flag for autism isn't poor eye contact or stimming, but active unwillingness to interact. He recommends building motivation to communicate first through rewards and reinforcers, then addressing other behaviors as symptoms of low engagement.

Around 2 years old (speaker states a 2-year-old should use two-word sentences).
If at about 2.5 years the child is still not using phrases, seek assessment/see a speech therapist (speaker's recommendation).
By age 3 the child should be speaking in sentences (speaker's statement).
Chapters
All right, welcome to our Monday lives. And today we want to talk about the true autism red flag that, according to my experience, what it is about, like, what's the red flag? So to go through, like, some of the red flags that a lot of parents tell me is like, eye contact, not responding to name, you know, hand flapping, eye cornering, like. Like this, like that. Stimming with. With. With. With voices or whatever, with sounds and stuff. And also tiptoeing, you know, like, that is also a thing. Sensitive mouth or sensitive. Just profile. The whole thing is sensitive. That's also a red flag, right? But what is the one red flag that I see? And I'm like, I'm going to say about. I'm going to talk about it, right? And as a speech therapist, or what you call a speech and language pathologist, I cannot really give. I cannot. Not really. I cannot give autism diagnosis. Autistic. Like, I cannot say that. Oh, your child is autistic. A lot of parents try to, you know, like, try to make me say it. Like, oh, Ming, like, what's your experience? Like, do you think it is? Like, just tell me. Doesn't matter if it's. If it's not official, whatever. I just want your opinion, right? Nine times out of 10, I will not say anything about it. I will only say, like, that's just being professional, right? I say, like, just do the diagnosis if you can. If it's within your. Your ability, just go do it, right? What's the point of asking me when there's a way of getting it? So with that caveat, I will talk about the one true red flag that I do see it, okay? And that is the unwillingness to interact with you, okay? That's the most important thing. So you need to remember, like, all these things that are red flags for children are signs that they are preoccupied with something, and I don't want to talk to you. All right? So, for instance, like, let me go through them one by one. No eye contact means that they're looking at something else rather than looking at your face, right? That's the symptom. Doesn't mean it's a cause, okay? The cause of all this is that they don't want to communicate. They don't care, right? Second of all, not responding to name doesn't have a reason to listen to you, right? Don't want to listen to you. Don't want to engage with. You. Don't know that human interaction is fun. All right? Second of all, third of all, right, you know, self stimulation Activities, what does that mean? So when a child is stimulating themselves, they are preoccupied and therefore they wouldn't want to socialize with you. Have you ever tried stopping someone from like stopping like anyone from doing something that they are repetitively doing ritualistically? Okay, what, what would happen? Okay, you would get scolded. All right? Some people might be that they, they, they, they're very clean, they're very ocd. If you stop them and you try to, you know, intervene with their activities, what's going to happen? They freak out. They're like, dude, this is what I like, stop it. Right? So a lot of times self stimulative activities are okay, meaning like hand flapping. Okay? As in it doesn't look good. And like the general public, people would like, will start thinking, dude, what's this guy doing? Right? This is strange, this is not nice. And the parents would feel embarrassed. The people around them will feel embarrassed. That's why we think it's bad. But as an actual fact, we all self stimulate, okay? To some degree. Now don't get perverted and think otherwise. Like, there are many ways to self stimulate, right? First of all, like, you can sing, okay? You can like bite your nails, you can play with your hair, you can shake your leg, whatever. Those are all self stimulatory activities. There's no other reason why you're doing it other than that it's calming you down and it's giving you some sense, some sort of sensory input that makes you feel good, right? That's kind of the definition of that. I'm not some professor, so I'm not going to go on and try to define everything with like succinct. Succinct, whatever the word is. Like very, very good wording and everything. But what I mean is you have to understand the reason why behind it. So the true red flag is that the kid doesn't have a motivation or doesn't have the understanding to communicate with you. All right? So a lot of times I, I talked to a parent recently and then the, his daughter was very, very, how do you say it is very sociable, right? So she being so sociable, like holding everyone's hand and saying everyone is her best friend and so on, and then he's like, maybe it's autism because, you know, he doesn't, she doesn't know the social boundaries, even someone so outward. Whatever. Like extroverted can be autism, right? Well, it could be, but the, what's that called? Her willingness to communicate is so high. I don't think I Don't think, okay, that should be a consideration. What would be a consideration is to teach her what boundaries are and how to interact with people. Right? That's the thing. Okay? So sometimes when I say like, diagnosis doesn't matter, it means that, hey, whether or not a child has autism or not, you're still going to have to like, look at what they can and cannot do and try to teach them that thing that is, that is not good. Right? So why do we want to like, see red flags? Well, first of all, number one is that we want to know the red flag so that we can plan for the future. And obviously these red flags will make a lot of parents scared, right? And just pointing them out already you can see the physical grimace, like physical uncomfort in the parents face, right? They start to be scared and they're like, oh, can I reverse to kind of cure it? And there is no cure for autism, as far as I know. And then recently, as in like half a year ago, we did like a zoom talk, which probably we might be doing again, and we talked about autism with like a, with one of my students who's also autistic. And where I'm getting at this is that if a child has autism, there are a lot of ways, right? There are a lot of ways to treat autism, that particular child, and to be scared and everything. That's fair enough. You're just only being human, right? So you have to remember that if a autistic child knows that and knows why they have to communicate with you, then immediately you're solving the root problem. Okay, I know there are many facets and a lot of professionals say no. Autist, Autistic children have like, you have to look at play language and then what's that? Like sensory and whatever cognitive functions, whatever. But at the core of it, how I feel it is, is that, and this is just my personal opinion, like, you don't need to care or quote me or whatever, because that's just how I feel, right? Usually it's hard for them to communicate, number one. Number two is they don't understand why. So these two combined, it makes someone on the spectrum very like, they wouldn't want to communicate with you. So when, if you have to deal with it, you have to deal with the motivation first. That's why in Agents of speech in our courses, you want to check it out, just go there. Agents of Speech.com and check out the courses there. We talk, we talk about using rewards because an external reward will help a child understand at the very Least something that is concrete to let them know that they, in order to get something, they have to communicate. Right. So up till now, if you have any questions, please put it in the comment section and let me know. And also let me know where you're watching from. That means a lot to me. And anyways, so when the, the biggest lessons that I've learned a lot of times is that parents will ask, is this a misdiagnosis? Right. I wouldn't know. Okay. I really wouldn't know. And then another parent would say, oh, I see the red flags of children with like autistic autism. Red flags, how? What's the chance of them recovering per se? Right. And another, a lot of parents will ask me, does, like using screen or whatever, does it create autism? Does it make a child autistic or does it make it worse? Well, the latter is correct. It will make it worse because you're not teaching them to communicate. Right. And then the other thing, excuse me, is that watching something will not cause autism. Right. There was actually a, what's that called? Sorry, it's a little bit mis, not focused. So the thing is, I said that alongside with my student and then a therapist reached out to me and said, hey, Mr. Ming, I know like a nice, nice zoom talk, whatever I think you should learn about like virtual autism, right? So I looked into it and obviously like watching something will not cause autism. But recently, like the video of me talking about virtual autism on YouTube has become a little more popular and there's a lot more people just reaching out to me saying, hey man, like, hey man, like, I, I, I watched your video about virtual autism. I want to learn more. How do I solve this? Whatever. Well, the thing about virtual autism, if you watch that video is that they're, you know it, I don't, It's a, it's a new term, right? First of all, second of all, yes, we're seeing a lot more autist like diagnosis for autism nowadays. But let me just make the. Sorry, I just want to make it, see if it makes it better. No, it doesn't. Whatever. Yeah, there's a lot of research nowadays talking about like virtual autism, whatever. And there's a lot of research saying, oh, there's a misdiagnosis of autism. That's why like 1 in 50 or maybe it's even higher now have autism. Right. But we still have not enough data. Right. We just had started to have smartphones for the past 10 years and long term data isn't here yet. And we're just waiting right first of all. And I'm also trying to navigate this myself, and I'm still trying to learn this myself as well. So anyone who says that watching a phone too much will cause autism is full of crap. Don't listen to them, because autism is a neurological disorder. As a developmental neurological disorder, you cannot watch your video way into autism. And similarly, there's no cure. And you cannot do things. Do something to get rid of it. Okay, so it might have, like, symptomatic similarities if a child has a lot of, like, screen exposure. But, you know, all that may or may not be reversible. So far as I know it. It's kind of reversible. So I might get. My cats are fighting. Stop it. Stop it. Okay, so let's see the question. So Rita says, what is the child doesn't like anything to reward with? Well, that's. That's one of the biggest pains we have as a therapist, right. If we cannot find a reinforcer like or reward per se, it's very hard to conduct therapy. Okay. Gotta time out my cats, man. Causing a ruckus. Anyways. So, yeah, this is difficult. But the thing is, there must be something that you can find that they like. Usually if a child has nothing that they like at all, then it's gonna be like they're just gonna be sitting there and doing nothing. There must be an activity. There must be something that they. They like. Right? Even if it means using, like, the screen that as a poison. But at the same time, we're using it as a reward. Right? So you must find it. If you don't have it, you have to try to develop it. Okay. We had, like, one of those. There must be some kids like that, like, had totally zero motivation to do anything, even if the rewards are, like, very nice, and they still don't want it. Right. So what we did was we tried to develop some activities that they would like. There must be one or two things that we can reward with at the very least. Okay. So anything is not often, like, everything is on the table. You should consider everything, like swinging, food, snacks, anything that they like to smell, activities that I could do. Anything that they like, you must use, and you cannot compromise on that. All right. Joy says, hi from Philippines. Very nice. Tuba says, hi, I'm good, thank you. Fairy Cafe says, would you recommend removing screen time completely if you suspect virtual autism? Well, like, you can. You can remove. The only way to find out if it's virtual autism, virtual, or put in quotation marks or not is to remove the screen time. And then see if there's a change. But you cannot just remove screen time cold turkey without anything. If a kid is already addicted with something. If you're addicted with something and you go cold turkey, meaning you just cut it off completely right away, what's that going to do? You're going to have a rebound and you're going to have loads of tantrums and stuff. So systematically decrease it and use the screen time as a reward. Make them do something with you, communicate with you, and then let them have it. Okay, so Chen Junkie says, my daughter is three years old. She doesn't respond to her name and has very sensitive hearing. There are many songs she doesn't want to hear. She cried whenever she heard it. Oh, that's not very. That's not actually a question, right? Well, you know, try to not do those. That will try not to trigger her sensitive hearing as far as I know. See a occupational therapist. You know, let her wear some ear guards, like air defenders, whatever they call it, or mufflers or whatever. That would be easy. I don't think it's that expensive. Just get her one of those, you know, like a headphone, that kind. Hello. So we can give to watching poems all the time. Poem. His floor say give me phone. He knows he give me. Can I give him. Yeah, I mean, like for this one, just go back and watch for screen time. Obviously screen time is frowned upon. Like we don't want children to be on screen time. We don't want ourselves to be on screen time. Right? So yes, you can give it to them. But as long as it's as a reward right? Afterwards, afterwards, then it's fine. Okay? Don't just give it to him for free. Yeah, Rita, screen time is a good option for rewarding. Doesn't mean we give it to for free. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can't have it. Zara, Zara, please go watch the video. Search on YouTube. Like virtual autism, agents of speech. That's our YouTube channel. You can see it there and then watch the video there. Okay, I've explained it over there. Hey, money ain't a thing. It's not a thing. It's not a thing. Money is not a thing. Okay. Kui Yen says, in fact. Oh, yeah, yeah, we talked about this. Right? So gross motor training. As long as you're using like screen time as a way as a means of teaching instead of as a means of entertainment, then I think it's justified. Right? I think it's justified as long as you're using like for instance, you can use the computer for playing games, for learning, for working, for creating stuff. Dude, it's just a tool, man. So make it big, you know, like for instance, guns are not inherently evil. It's just not how we use it, stupid. So it's the same thing with technology. So, you know. Great. Thank you. Money ain't the thing. Use headphones for my son. That's good. April says my son is nearly three years old, but limited words. Can't speak. Is he speech delay? Yes. Yes. Delayed because 3 should be able to speak in sentences. Now, headphones help him go that day, but he wears them around the clock. Yeah. So you have. What you need to do is like you need to get lower and lower and lower grade headphones. Like you can find ear defenders that have like, they cover in different degrees, right. So you know, get. And slowly like fade out the amount of muffling power the headphones have. Regression. Sadly, yes. Especially those children who are on the spectrum who have tendencies for seizures. So after seizures, what happens is that like the, the brain kind of snaps and there's regression happening all the time with children on the spectrum, right? Yes. April, speech delay. That's right. Your child has it. Three year olds should be able to speech and speak in sentences. No, tuba, it doesn't. I just said it. There's no. You cannot cause autism. You're born. We're born with it. As far as we know, right now, doesn't look in the eyes. Wall ceilings. Not humans. All the time. Yeah. Then you know he doesn't understand why he has to look at you. Right. So start making him communicate with you first. Don't think about the. The eye contact, as we always say, because the eye contact will only come if he understands that he needs to get our attention. Right. So teach him to communicate first. So he needs to know that to get your attention, he either pulls you whatever, but he knows that the eyes are the places is the place to get your attention from. How can I get him to eat vegetable, fruits? He only eats chicken. Just chicken. Three times a day. Picky eater. Well, use a. Use a reward, right? And see if you can use it to reward him to eat. So cut the vegetables and fruits into very, very small pieces. Show him something he wants. If he wants it. Put the vegetable in his mouth and then give it to him. Right? Do it systematically. Give them a little bit and reward him for eating it. Right. And then slowly increase. My four year old is very tech savvy. Can manipulate my phone, laptop, listen to Songs about daily communications IQ has no interest in communicating. Okay. So very cafe. I believe you can, if you haven't just go through the micro course. It's agentsofspeech.com micro. I think it's in the link above or something. If you haven't joined it, go join it. All right. And that's because the thing about this is that if you learn about why he like about his interest in communicating, like you have to have something he wants and then teach him the way of doing it. Right? It's va. Well, I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. Right? So you have to try it. My son is two years old until one month. The other words, such karma so far I know doesn't he doesn't fall already to the development. I think it's around time you should see a speech therapist because around two years old a child should be using like two word sentences. It's not incredibly slow. It's like around half a year to like six months delay. So it's still okay. You can still wait. The latest you should go is around like two and a half. Then you should definitely go. If it's two and a half and he's still not using like phrases, then you should go. You can still wait a little bit. All right. Okay. There's no question here. Money, anything. I guess I'll just wait for you. He's not like the age of two. Yeah. So you have to train him, right? You have to train him. What do you do if a child can repeat a lot of words for shows? Well, there's actually a whole YouTube video about this. Actually you can just like search on Facebook. But YouTube is better because it's better for watching stuff. Right? So on YouTube I have a video about if a child can repeat words, sing songs, ABC like count, but won't communicate. Like, watch that and you'll understand what's going on. Or otherwise just go to agents of Speech.com micro. Just get the micro course. It's a, you know, a cheap course just to get in and learn about and I'll answer your most questions. Like all I have heard all the things like the parent just said, hey man, when I talk, listen to you talk, it's like you're describing my kid, you know, know it better and you can put it in words. That's because I've been explaining this for the past what, eight years now. And that's what I do, man. So I know what exactly are your thoughts? Sorry. My son is 2 and a 4 months. Doesn't say any word apart from mama. Mama. Oh, well, okay, then that should be speech delay. All right. And if you can go see a speech therapist, if not, then you should find someone like, you should join a course. Like watch more videos from us or any other speech therapist out there. It doesn't need to be me. And think about how to teach your child, your son, to communicate more even with gestures that we always talk about. Okay. Delos says, hi, sir, can you give us idea on how three year old can say one word? Like okay, Dallas, you can go to. We have a course about that. It's called word combiners. So if you go to agentsofspeech.com agentsofspeech.com Let me say it slowly. And then you can go there and check out that one about like sentences. It's called word combiner. So go check it out. We have a whole course on that. Because it's very like, I can give you one idea is not enough. I need to tell you everything. So you need to go there and like learn. Okay. So be in Ying. I don't know which one is your name? Sorry. Be in Ying. I guess from Malaysia. Right? Okay. Hello. My son is four years, four months and he has diagnosed mild speech delay. You can speak in sentences but unable to tell story. Clinical science are supposed to know. Yeah. So we, we have a new course coming out because it's very difficult to just teach you like storytelling skills. But the first thing that usually I do. So probably at the next month I will be making like you guys can pre order a new course I'm doing called verbal reasoning. It teaches you a bunch of stuff and storytelling is one of them. But sometimes storytelling is something that you work on from like 4 to 6, right. Preschool stuff. So what we do usually is that we make sure that the child can sequence pictures without talking first. Like are they able to what we call temporal. Do they have temporal concepts? Meaning can they put things in order of time? That's temporal means time. Right? So can I do that? Can I put like for instance three pictures and put it into a sequence? And after that we do something called like sequence description, which is teaching the kids to describe the pictures in three subsequent sentences. Like first like this, then like this, last like that. Okay, so I'm not sure if your child can do that. If your child can do that, then I will start teaching like some why questions. Like answering why questions. Why is it that? Whatever. Oh, because whatever. Like why is the table wet? Because you spilled a drink. Something like that. So after they have these prerequisite skills. I wouldn't say prerequisite, but it's like around the same that level of like language skills. I will go on to storytelling. All right? And I will always start off with story retelling first, like you telling a story a few times and tell them to tell your story back. And you will see where he just forgets or just cannot say the story as well as you do. And you will know where to help him with. Okay. Azif, I think that's your name. I'm guessing that's how you pronounce it. Can I ask him to look at mine? When I ask something, should I like, no, you should not. If you've gone through the micro course, I'm not sure if you have, then we talk about that. You shouldn't ask like, look at me first. So what are you teaching? That's, that's unnatural, right? Just because you want him to look doesn't mean anything. Then every time, if you want him to look, you have to, you have to ask. Even if it works so it doesn't. Like every time, if you say, look, look at me first, then what you're teaching, he will only look when you ask. You go. I mean, so you cannot do it. What you should do is instead catch him when he looks at you and reward and praise him for it. Which means that, you know, you shouldn't be actively teaching eye contact. You should actively teaching communication and teaching him using like words and gestures to get what he wants. And after that, when he knows that you're resourceful, he'll start looking at you because you're the source of all the, all the good stuff. But this takes like a few months, right? If you want fast results, you will go back to asking questions, right? Going back to what do you say? Like, look at me first. You didn't look at me. What these questions to, like, how to say, like make him say it. It's really impossible. Okay, so take the long term approach. Go, go to agentsofspeech.com micro and check out the micro course there. Okay. Because it's all there. Like I talk about it, you learn about it, you know what to do, you go do it and you get results. All right. So too much screen time cause speech delay? Maybe, Maybe sometimes, yes. Don't know. There is a correlation between the two. So we don't really call it speech delay. We call it language delay. Mostly it's expressive language delay, meaning the number of words, the number of sentences, how long, how many words that they can they can express. If it's weaker, it's correlated with screen time. So try to get rid of it as much as you can. But if it's for educational purposes, then okay, right. Money ain't a thing. How can I help him? 6 year old, can sing, repeat, doesn't speak in full sentences. Well, yeah, we have a whole course about that. Money ain't a thing. I don't know how to like, I'm not sure how to profile your child right now. Okay, if he says like words with you already, then what you need to do is expand the number of vocab with him, right? Teach him through flashcards, have him on a reward schedule. Teach him how to play with toys, right? Make a sequence with toys and then for each toy have like, teach him a verb for every action and the toy he needs to like the toy. And therefore he. Then he will get away from all the singing and repeating. He will start playing and start using words himself. Like any kid in the world, what they do is they play with toys and they start talking to themselves. That's when they're developing language Asif says are useless. And train them, say nobody cares. Well, of course people care. You care. Just because the society doesn't care doesn't mean that like maybe in your circle people don't care. It doesn't mean that the whole world doesn't care. In fact, if you look at like our Facebook group, there's like 7,000 people, right? And we only started the Facebook group like a year and a half ago. There's even a Facebook group, the oldest one is like 30,000 people inside about speech delay and autism. There's one like a hundred thousand people. So you know, like, this is the future. People will start talking about this, will start learning about this. It's not taboo anymore. How can I stop him from banging his head on the wall if he's angry or Moody? He's 70 years old right now. So when we talk about angry, we have to know like why the reason, what's the reason behind his anger, right? Is it to get something from you? Is it to protest? Is it to escape from a situation? Is it to release frustration? Whichever it is, you have to know and, and then you have to react accordingly. So I cannot tell you what to do, right? So it's kind of difficult to tell you at this moment, Joy. What I would say is prevention is always the key. So if you know the reason, try not to do that thing, okay? Because the more someone is able to do something in a given location, In a given context, what's going to happen is that that habit, that, that behavior becomes a habit and it keeps on, like, keeps on coming out. Because what happens is that for instance, if you're with a bunch of friends, right, and everyone's drinking alcohol, of course your likelihood of drinking alcohol is going to increase because you've done that before. Right? Whereas if you're at home and you have nothing to drink, then what's the likelihood of you drinking? Pretty much zero. Okay, so think about that. How to prevent it, how to know why your child is banging on the wall and you try to prevent it first. And then prevention is always the number one thing you can do afterwards. We can think about other things, but most important is always prevention. Because if it, if a behavior doesn't continue, it's less likely to repeat itself in the future. All right? Yeah. Well, like at this moment, if you can, then if he's still, if he's already going through therapy, listen to what the therapist has to say, right? If not, then you know, like watch more YouTube, like videos or Instagram, whatever, tick tock, whatever, I don't care. Learn more about how to teach children like, and then go about it. As I told, As I told you, right? Use. Teach him more vocabs. Teach them more vocabs. Okay. NIHA says speech, everything. Doesn't talk. He's three and a half, flat pants, very rigid. Does an active. Okay, well that's very typical ASD red flags, right? So I don't know, if he doesn't talk to you, then join our micro course first, right? Giving therapy and watching a video, is a professional always required? Of course, like as if, of course not always required. It's not required, it's a benefit. It's like therapy. This kind of thing is like a first world, like developed nation profession, right? No one in the right mind would become a therapist if you know there's other stuff to do, like for instance, you know, earning money and how to say it's like a service based business, right. You know, it's not always required. But at the same time, I'm not answering a question now. I'm answering a question. So I would say it's easier to find a therapist because a lot of times even if you know what to do when you do it, how you do depends on the kid. We have to analyze your kid space, like actions, so on and then give the correct response. So it's best, it's best that you find one who is good and will help you a lot. Okay? Salarte, I guess. Is regression ASC preventable? This, I really don't know. I don't know how to answer this question. Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how these regressions are triggered. And if you know about it, then you can try to prevent those triggers. But it's really a case by case basis. I can tell you that for some cases. I know what triggers, like for some of the students of mine, they get really angry and then they get a seizure, as simple as that. So the best way is to try to teach them to calm down whenever they're angry and then the regression will be a lot more controllable. Okay. But everyone's different. I cannot tell you how can I encourage or help my son speak more, you know, like there are loads of videos on YouTube, you know, like agents of speech.com. go, go look at the toy activities. And if you want to really want to learn, then go, go to agents of Speech.com and see about the courses there. All right. You're welcome. Money ain't a thing. Niha says if he doesn't speak. So I should stand with like, yeah, if you. If you can, then you should. Right? There's nothing. That's the best thing. Like it's my profession. Go do it. Right. Go get it. At least get an assessment so that you know where your child's abilities lies. Sensitivity to sounds isn't. Sensitivity to all kind of stimul stimuli is an autism. Autism red flag. It's not. It's a symptom. Yes, it's symptom, but it doesn't automatically mean it's autistic autism. All right? Some children are just sensitive. They have no other symptoms, you know, and that's not autism. Jenny says my two year old son just uttered mama only babbling. He also doesn't respond to anyone except for me. You understand? Whatever I say no to him. Do you think, hey, I just talked about this, Jenny, like right in the beginning. I cannot tell you whether it has ASD or not. I cannot think. I cannot give an opinion. Right. It's best that I don't because that's professional code. That's the ethics. I can't do it. I'm not the person to do it as a clinical psychologist or a pediatrician. Right. Developmental pediatrician or something like that. I don't know how it works in your. In your country. Seems like you're from Philippines, judging from your last name. I'm not sure how it works there, to be honest. I've never been to Philippines despite growing up with A lot of Filipinos, but I have no idea how it works. But a two year old son, that's only uttering mama and babbling, that's delayed language. Delayed. All right, two year old should be using phrases. Two word phrases. Yes. Then go do st as well. Niha. You're welcome, April. Hey. Okay. I don't know what, what that is about. We can't label a child. Fair enough. Yes, exactly. I guess. Yeah, fair enough, Mary. That's right. All right, so I guess if there's no more questions, I will leave you guys. If you don't have any questions right now, that's fine. Just put it in the comment section. I'll try my best to get back to you and to update you guys about what's happening. Agents of speech is that we are creating three things that's coming up. Number one is about the verbal reasoning, teaching a child to answering why, like telling stories. That's, that's a whole other course. Another one is like the social games workshop that we, we're going to do. And then the third thing is that we're going to do like a speech sound crash course to, to, to parents who want to like teach certain, a few sounds that child doesn't have. For instance L. Ss, you know, whatever. Sh. And then we'll talk about that there. All right. Okay, last question. I see. Okay. Rosemania also I guess from Philippines. Guessing from last name again. My two year old speech late, doesn't have any other red flags. Happy bubbling. I'm going to. No, stop thinking it's autism, my friend. Stop thinking about that. If there's no symptoms, no signs, then don't do it. Don't think about it. It's not there. All right. You know, like I know autism is prevalent, right. But at the same time, like at the same time it's not that common and it's not, it's not that easy to catch it. Right. It's not that easy to step on. Like you know, if you roll a dice it's, it's pretty difficult to get autism, you know, 1 in 56 or something, 1 in I don't know how many and 1 and now and like more and more like 1 in 24 or something, but it's still hard. Then you have to roll the dice three, like a six side dice three times and land on the same number three times in order to have that. Am I getting my, my math correct? I'm not sure. Probably not. Oh no, I totally got it wrong. Sorry. It's times, times times. Sorry. But anyways, it's. It's hard. What I'm saying that that's. That's what I'm trying to say. Trying to do public math is stupid. Anyways, so have a good evening, you guys. Or in the morning, if you're watching from the United States. And leave any comments, any questions below. And if you haven't, go to agentsofspeech.com, sign up for our email newsletter, or grab a course if you're at it. That'd be great. That supports our efforts in teaching more parents like yourself. And that's pretty much it, guys. I'll see you guys next Monday. Bye. Bye.
