Starting Kindergarten, they forced us to send her to a live skills program, Pathways in Jefferson 45 minutes one way because again the school stated they "couldn't accommodate"… read more

Our son is non speaking but does FC so he told us when we moved to Vancouver Island from Manitoba, that everything was perfect but he had to work.

My 7 year old transition verbal (he is saying words but struggles to find the right words at the correct time) son has severe behaviors. I am concerned because when he gets frustrated he head bangs.

If you by chance read this, thank you for speaking to me today, it somehow made me feel like I'm not alone, so thank you.

Has any one has success with white noise, pink noise brown? My son already takes meds to sleep but it’s the falling asleep that he has issues with. It was suggested to try a noise machine but when I started to research- so many. I had no idea. Has anyone had better success with one compared to another.

Hello everyone
My son is 4 years old in December this year. His primary care doctor refer him to autism evaluation.
I tried to contact most of hospitals in our area, but they have long waiting list until 1.5 years or 2 year.
Do you have anywhere I can bring him to evaluate soon? We live in Ohio. I don’t want to wait long time because I think he need to go ABA therapy asap if he has autism.
Thank you so much.
