Why would you put an autistic parent through watching that, we already know

what our kids go through, it just upset a terribly upset mom already, lets

not bring parents down, we all know what our children's issues are and

this just was not needed at this time in my life... please more positive I

don't need to know about children not speaking and crying for no reason, I

know, I have to put this out of my head now, lets show some positive outcomes,

please, the people on this board know you don't need to remind us, I am

sorry if I sound upset but I am, it has just been one of those days and

seeing that little girl crying, I just shut it off...

Oh please don't feel so bad. This video is trying to make a

point...but are we all sure it's that she's in pain or how do we know they

didn't

make her get off the swing?? Sensory meltdown???

And why would any adult make a child get off the swing just to make that

child cry and make a point? Who would ever do that???

Oh why did I say that? Because years ago when I worked in the film

industry we worked on a commercial for a light FM radio station. The catch

phrase

for this commercial was " Lighten up Baby! " and we didn't come up with the

catch phrase or what had to be animated for the commercial -we just had to

work on what was wanted. It started with 3 crying toddlers (close ups of

their faces kind of animated with rotoscoped tears over the actual ones) and

then cut to them all happy and playing music with the " Lighten Up Baby " part

being said for the station. Thing is it couldn't be filmed that way. In

fact had to be filmed exact opposite. Each of the children started off happy,

playing, carefree and somehow one by one each baby needed to cry for the

end shot.

Before I tell you how they got the toddlers to cry I just want to say that

I wasn't there, it gave my director nightmares, and she was horrified that

the parents were all there and allowed what happened to happen.

So to start and I think there were 4 toddlers- each playing a toy musical

instrument and laughing having fun.

Then they had to get the crying shot.

I'll never forget this because I was compared to one of the toddlers

Baby one had a cold -all they had to do was touch the baby's nose and he

started crying

Baby two and three didn't have a cold but for both when they said " Where

is your mommy? " a few times as the mothers had agreed to hide behind some

pillars in the room -they both started crying when they couldn't see their

moms and when their moms didn't answer them when they called out " mommy! "

(can you imagine?!!)

Baby four is the one compared to me -I wasn't there but was always known

as the happy one in the studio. When they tried the same old " where is your

mommy? " he just pointed to the pillar his mother was hiding behind and

smiled and kept playing. They couldn't figure out how to get his toddler to cry

...until a cameraman recalled something and took over. He went to this baby

and said in a very authoritative tone " YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GUITAR! " as he

noticed none of the toddlers wanted the guitar because it was too heavy.

This baby just smiled and said " No...no guitar for me " and kept playing. So

the cameraman took the guitar again and said again " HERE, YOU HAVE TO PLAY

THIS GUITAR " and again the baby just said " No, no guitar for me " but by the

third time the happy baby finally broke down and started crying and saying

over and over " No guitar for me, no guitar for me, no guitar for me " as he

took his hands and rubbe d them over his head.

It was horrible- and all for that shot- for that commercial. I'm not

saying that this video is a commercial- but if the little girl is not able to

speak -and was on the swing happy at the start and end of the video -and (OK

perhaps I'm a bit of a skeptic that the pain hit while off the swing and

stopped once back on the swing swinging once again.)

And speaking of which how do we know it wasn't sensory pain from DSI???

Who here knows for sure what their child was feeling when having a sensory

meltdown??? I sure didn't!!! I know when Tanner was little if he was having a

sensory meltdown and needed to be on that swing he would scream like he

was in PAIN -like someone was sticking pins in him or something...And

speaking of which how do we know it wasn't sensory pain from DSI??? Who here

knows for sure what their child was feeling when having a sensory meltdown??? I

sure didn't!!! I know when Tanner was little if he was having a sensory

meltdown and needed to be on that swing he would scream like he was in PAIN

-like someone was sticking pins in him or something...<WBR>and perhaps that

is how he felt. Was it in his gut??? I have no idea in the world. In fact in

one of his meltdowns my sister pulled off all his clothing and his diaper

to see if one of my hairs was wrapped about any of his body parts cutting

off circulation or if he was stung by something -nope didn't see a thing but

his eyes were bugging out of his sockets and his face was bright red -and

he calmed down and unstiffened his body when we left the store where

everyone

Anyway the point is yes we all have seen our children cry- and those of us

with children with sensory issues have seen them cry like they are being

tortured. But again I don't really know for sure why this poor little

girl was crying but all I know is I would have bought it for sure she was

crying just because she had severe pain in her gut if she got the pain while

she was still on the swing swinging and held her stomach and bent over and

fell off the swing crying ( would be a universal nonverbal sign of pain

any parent would recognize as pain) vs the way they portrayed it. Content on

the swing to start - crying off the swing in the middle -content on the

swing at end. Um sensory issues to me again -so obvious but we'd have to ask

her to know for sure.

And...while watching any child cry in pain autistic or not is painful and

can make us cry -watching a baby laugh has the opposite affect.

So here are videos of babies that just learned that you are such an

awesome mommy and that you are going to be a great advocate for your child and

he's going to be OK in the future!

My daughter has autism and she was completely non-verbal and we are a huge

sucess story now!  she had 3 speech teachers and 2 of them have dropped her

because she is talking above her age now.  Also she is now hyperlectic (loves

letters and numbers)  she was able to read out loud to me at my level.  not a

4 year old but she can read anything.  she taught herself and if you really

want a nice thing.  My daughter has been very sick and you can just imagine I

am not going to talk about that right now and today she saw me folding towels

and said " what are you doing mom? "   I told her and she said " I can help you. "  

And she did.  She folded 18 towels.  this is no easy feet because she does not

have very good hand control because we believe she has autism and rett

syndrome.  Then we counted the towels and she said 18. .  . .9 plus 9 is

18.   I don't know where she learned that but she likes math too. I hold her

back a little because she gets mad

when she has trouble learning hard things.  It was nice to have her be a

kid.  She helped me with a chore.  there was no reward and I did not ask

her.  she offered. . . .  I am such a proud mama today!!!!!

Oh please don't feel so bad. This video is trying to make a point...but

are we all sure it's that she's in pain or how do we know they didn't make her

get off the swing?? Sensory meltdown???

And why would any adult make a child get off the swing just to make that child

cry and make a point? Who would ever do that???

Oh why did I say that? Because years ago when I worked in the film industry we

worked on a commercial for a light FM radio station. The catch phrase for this

commercial was " Lighten up Baby! " and we didn't come up with the catch phrase or

what had to be animated for the commercial -we just had to work on what was

wanted. It started with 3 crying toddlers (close ups of their faces kind of

animated with rotoscoped tears over the actual ones) and then cut to them all

happy and playing music with the " Lighten Up Baby " part being said for the

station. Thing is it couldn't be filmed that way. In fact had to be filmed

exact opposite. Each of the children started off happy, playing, carefree and

somehow one by one each baby needed to cry for the end shot.

Before I tell you how they got the toddlers to cry I just want to say that I

wasn't there, it gave my director nightmares, and she was horrified that the

parents were all there and allowed what happened to happen.

So to start and I think there were 4 toddlers- each playing a toy musical

instrument and laughing having fun.

Then they had to get the crying shot.

I'll never forget this because I was compared to one of the toddlers

Baby one had a cold -all they had to do was touch the baby's nose and he started

crying

Baby two and three didn't have a cold but for both when they said " Where is your

mommy? " a few times as the mothers had agreed to hide behind some pillars in

the room -they both started crying when they couldn't see their moms and when

their moms didn't answer them when they called out " mommy! " (can you

imagine?!!)

Baby four is the one compared to me -I wasn't there but was always known as the

happy one in the studio. When they tried the same old " where is your mommy? "

he just pointed to the pillar his mother was hiding behind and smiled and kept

playing. They couldn't figure out how to get his toddler to cry ..until a

cameraman recalled something and took over. He went to this baby and said in a

very authoritative tone " YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GUITAR! " as he noticed none of the

toddlers wanted the guitar because it was too heavy. This baby just smiled and

said " No...no guitar for me " and kept playing. So the cameraman took the guitar

again and said again " HERE, YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS GUITAR " and again the baby

just said " No, no guitar for me " but by the third time the happy baby finally

broke down and started crying and saying over and over " No guitar for me, no

guitar for me, no guitar for me " as he took his hands and rubbed them over his

head.

It was horrible- and all for that shot- for that commercial. I'm not saying

that this video is a commercial- but if the little girl is not able to speak

-and was on the swing happy at the start and end of the video -and (OK perhaps

I'm a bit of a skeptic that the pain hit while off the swing and stopped once

back on the swing swinging once again.)

And speaking of which how do we know it wasn't sensory pain from DSI??? Who

here knows for sure what their child was feeling when having a sensory

meltdown??? I sure didn't!!! I know when Tanner was little if he was having a

sensory meltdown and needed to be on that swing he would scream like he was in

PAIN -like someone was sticking pins in him or something...and perhaps that is

how he felt. Was it in his gut??? I have no idea in the world. In fact in one

of his meltdowns my sister pulled off all his clothing and his diaper to see if

one of my hairs was wrapped about any of his body parts cutting off circulation

or if he was stung by something -nope didn't see a thing but his eyes were

bugging out of his sockets and his face was bright red -and he calmed down and

unstiffened his body when we left the store where everyone was staring at me

like I was this horrible mother -once I learned about sensory integration

dysfunction I always thought it must have been the lights or people that

affected his sensory as a pain for some reason -didn't even think of the gut.

But for Tanner don't think that's what it was because he would stop when we left

the store -doubt the store caused gut pain!

Anyway the point is yes we all have seen our children cry- and those of us with

children with sensory issues have seen them cry like they are being tortured.

But again I don't really know for sure why this poor little girl was

crying but all I know is I would have bought it for sure she was crying just

because she had severe pain in her gut if she got the pain while she was still

on the swing swinging and held her stomach and bent over and fell off the swing

crying ( would be a universal nonverbal sign of pain any parent would recognize

as pain) vs the way they portrayed it. Content on the swing to start - crying

off the swing in the middle -content on the swing at end. Um sensory issues to

me again -so obvious but we'd have to ask her to know for sure.

And...while watching any child cry in pain autistic or not is painful and can

make us cry -watching a baby laugh has the opposite affect.

So here are videos of babies that just learned that you are such an awesome

mommy and that you are going to be a great advocate for your child and he's

going to be OK in the future!

What kind of treatment did you do for your daughter?

Thanks, Lucy

[Guest guest]

This child is real, in pain and is an awareness video for the journalists

and the GMC in the UK who believe we are all making it up about bowel issues

and autism. She is awaiting a scope for suspected AE and is just starting

out on the biomed road. The last thing her parents would do is make her

suffer for a video

Mandi sorry if you misunderstood what I was trying to say. is a parent

that is dealing with the same issues (on another message you tell this same

parent to be thankful she's not dealing with these issues) and was very hurt by

this video, upset it was posted here - and I was trying to point certain things

out to her.

I'm not saying this child isn't in pain, and I'm not even saying it's not gut

pain- I said I have a child that used to scream in pain from sensory integration

disorder meltdowns (writing it out for the newbies) and with a nonverbal child

you need to try to discover the reason why they are in pain. With my son when

he was little none of us ever did understand exactly why he was in pain- and we

tried! We did notice trends -he had these meltdowns in public places and

relaxed when we left these busy places. But he didn't talk, wasn't able to

communicate it as he acted as if he was having pins stuck in him -extreme pain-

and today doesn't remember of course. This video to me demonstrated a child

that soothed herself by rocking on the swing as that's when she was content at

the start and what soothed her at the end -again it just looked like a sensory

meltdown to me. And no underestimating how painful that can be to a child too.

Clearly a child having a sensory meltdown is in extreme pain.

I pointed out a TV commercial I worked on where they had to make the toddlers

cry to show that there are different ways to make points -and whether this

little girl is crying due to gut pain or sensory pain or because her sister

pushed her off the swing there was a point made in the video that you and others

feel strongly about.

Here's an example to show a baby crying in a funny way -but of course only if

the baby actually only cried if the car stopped:

I'm also curious who would stand there recording a child crying in extreme pain

without saying a word of comfort? (I didn't even realize it until I did hear a

woman say something like it's alright toward the very end) To me watching a

child crying in pain....alone with no comfort...that's sadder than a child

crying in pain with comfort. I'm probably not a good one to show things like

this to -I pick things apart too much I guess. But yes -do feel really bad for

this little girl for quite a few reasons.

Good morning, ! Thanks for sharing that. My son is hyperlexic, too.

It's really mind-blowing, isn't it?

I searched for this one commercial on youtube and found it. Even before learning

from this group what goes on behind the scenes I never liked that the baby cries

I am well aware of that! Autism to any degree is painful to watch, to live

it, to see it.
