Have Any Of You Hospitalized Your Child For A Med Wash?
My 12-year-old is dangerously aggressive and the meds that worked for years no longer work now that he's hit puberty. Our team is talking about admitting him to an in-patient program for 30 days to safely work him off of the medications he is taking and then add in new medications that might work better for him. Have any of you ever hospitalized your child for a med wash? What was your experience? Would you recommend it? I'm worried that the hospital experience will traumatize him, but I'm also… read more
I know this may sound like a dumb question but when the med wash happens at the hospital/ or treatment center, would / is the parent allowed to stay with their child ? This has been brought up to us… read more
Congestion In The Low To Medium Low Functioning Autistic
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.

Is There A Cure?
My son was diagnosed as Autistic less than a month ago. Since then I have been trying to read every book I can find and roaming the internet for help and answers. I recently came across a book in which the author indicated that autism can be cured with the proper treatment. Is this true? I am so confused as the books I read seem to contradict each other and no one seems to have a definitive answer. The author who indicated that it can be cured talked about changes in diet as a solution.

How Do We Guard Our Children From Harm By Fraudsters Seeking Profit For Profits' Sake, Off The Current Rise In Autism Numbers?
No matter our point of view, please, folks, keep an eye out for snake-oil sales! Always fact-check the claims of people claiming to have symptom relief answers for anything (not just autism).
Here's information on someone who spends her time promoting odd "cures" for autism claiming her son was cured... whose son IS NOT AUTISTIC... he was diagnosed in error (it happens when doctors see toddlers with some traits... right now it is evidently a 20% error rate), and they've known it was a false… read more
and as a side note studies on discrete trial (the most commonly meant definition of ABA in regards to recommended treatment./therapy) is 40% effective in studies. So don't just ONE thing/treatment… read more
