Congestion In The Low To Medium Low Functioning Autistic

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Meredith, NH

I’ve been wanting to ask this question for awhile but can’t think how to easily word it.
For those with low to medium functioning AND non verbal....how often have you noticed your kid having congested sniffles or a congested cough?
Have they had it much or even at all in your memory?

Also, can you yawn when they are watching you and they yawn back?
I’m serious about the yawning test! Can you make them yawn just by faking a yawn?

Mind me asking what did they do for her treatments. I’m not offended if you’d rather keep that personal.
