Help my ex wont give my son his meds on the weekends or vacation time he has him. so my son goes days without it and comes home more upset and violent with his sisters and me. I have try to talk to his father about making sure that he gets it but got told that he can give it to himself which the doctor says no because of where he is on the spectrum. I have tired talking to DFCS where I live and got told they cant do anything because I have the child most of the time. What else can I do because… read more

My son puts his fingers in his ears when he hears a strange/loud noise. Lately, he also does it when he is learning something new or gets excited. Anyone else ever dealt with this issue? Thanks.

My son is 6 years old and attends school M-F. Lately every morning it has been a challenge getting our son to get dressed. He has a meltdown and fights with us. He punches, kicks, screams, you name it. If we tell him to stop hitting he has even more of a meltdown. This has become an issue not because by the time he finally calms down and gets dressed we end up being late to school. We have tried having him pick his clothes. We have also tried having multiple options available to him when getting… read more

Anyone else have this experience with their children? What did you do to stop the repetitive questions? He gets very upset when I don't respond...

He has frequent accidents at school, and the other children are making fun of him now. I'm looking for advice on potty training an autistic child effectively. It hurts to see him so sad. He doesn't understand why they pick on him.

I worry a lot because a lot of our kiddos have less than perfect immune systems. Have any of your kids gotten covid? Did they handle it okay?

Hello Everyone, I am in need of some advice. I have an autistic non verbal son. When we are out in public he likes to snatch his hand from me and start running away. We were at church this past Sunday and he just got up and ran out an open door, down the side of the building and laughing as I'm trying to catch him. This is really concerning to me because I am afraid that one day he will run away from me and get hurt. I am desperate for some help. I have been doing some research and came… read more

Like anytime Amari plays, espcially if its toys with balls or building with blocks, he doesnt actually play or build he just picks the item up and flings it to the floor..lol. Idk how to get him to actually play with things. When its a toy he actually likes he'll either just have it in hand, bite on it or observe it, push its buttons and then fling it down when hes done with it.. Why is this? Is he just young and eventually will learn to play and place things down properly?
