My Son Is Autistic. He Is Non-verbal And Has Potty Training Issues. He Is In A Local Care Home For People With Disabilities.

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Prince Albert, SK

I guess you’re limited as to what you can say in the first part of the Q&A section. So, I will continue here. I’ll try to make it brief. I’ve noticed a change in his personality lately. He always seemed to be happy before. He’s still bedwetting. He’s also got dark circles under his eyes. He’s also quite a bit thinner than before he went into the home. Is this normal? I thought maybe it’s because of the changes he’s been through. Any ideas?

A MyAutismTeam Member

Please talk to Manager and staff and ask. I’m always asking at Care Home everyone
