What Is A Better Way To Respond To People Who Think They Are Specialists In ASD When Neither They Or Their Kids Have ASD?
I’m asking because I have a long time friend, love her to death, but we were on the phone for a very long time when Aziel and his ASD became the next topic to talk about.

Son Has Started To Scream At The Top Of His Voice Constantly And Tense His Whole Body.
Hi, new here.

Anyone Have Littles Who Put Everything In Their Mouth?
I'm wondering if my child constantly needing oral stimulation can be related to her ASD? I didn't get a straight answer when I asked the doctor about it. Not sure if it's Pica since it's not necessarily dirt, paint chips, drywall, etc. it's more like paper, cardboard, plastic, hair, etc. She's constantly chewing on anything and everything and sometimes consumes these things.
That was not meant to be rude, I promise. I didn’t mean to insinuate that you were doing something wrong. I didn’t see anything in your post, so I thought I’d give you a shout out if you didn’t know… read more
