Angel Sense
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone ever heard of Angel Sense? If u have have u tried it? My son will be starting classes in September with BCIU/early intervention and im worried how he will do and how teachers will treat him. It has a tracker if ur kid goes missing and u can even listen in on conversation wherever they are. It snaps to clothing or backpack. Wanted to know if its worth getting for the price and is it really reliable. Its rated 5 star's. Let me know what u guys think.

You could look into Apples Air Tags. They are really just for gps, and don’t have video or audio capabilities, but you can hang or place them almost anywhere. If your child has a tendency to take off… read more

Are There Items You Wish You Could Find/buy At A Store?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been kicking around the idea of opening a store that specializes in items for children with ASD and other special needs. I'm thinking things like balance beams, spin boards, fidget toys, books about special needs kiddos, the super soft underwear with covered elastic, therapy brushes - the list of things could go on and on.
So my question is - are there items that you wish you could buy at a local store instead of online?

Looking For Suggestions In Getting 6 Yr Old Dressed For School.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

Best to do it when they are young. Helps with ingraining it in their social behavior(s) early.
It works for a while, but then you have to increase the dosage every time you see them regressing.

Where Are Good Places For Therapy In Nashville, TN
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm am looking to relocate to the Nashville "area." I'm probably going to end up in Dickson Co, but don't mind to drive into Nashville or Franklin for services. I'm looking for suggestions for medical care across the board. I'll need to set my son up with a new pediatrician, OT, SLP, and hopefully ABA. Any suggestions on where to get these services would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
