Should I let him run around naked and play in the grass outside ? Or should I make him put clothes on ? I’m just concerned about what the neighbors will say . We have a 10ft wall around so they won’t be able to see unless the little kids next door peek over which they did yesterday . I need opinions... he seems happy playing outside .
I let my now 30 yr old brother go naked outside any time he wants.
I was lucky could not grow a mustache till about 20yrs but was able to handle it thank goodness.
We moved to Lancaster County from out of state and are looking for some type of group that our Asperger's tween girl can meet up with other girls around her age?
We currently live south of Tucson, Az but will be moving to the San Diego area (closer to the border since my husband will be working on the border) and I was wondering if there were any good areas/schools for families with kids who've been diagnosed on the spectrum? I really believe that one of the major factors in Alex's improved social skills has been that he goes to a school where kids with special needs are in class with kids without special needs (at least in preschool) and was wondering… read more
Well, come visit me anytime you want to see the area, @A MyAutismTeam Member. I have a long-time friend in Temecula. Glad Alex is doing well in class. I have Rob's IEP update (triennial review)… read more
There are so many aspects and research to be done to know where a family should move to get great services and special education for their child with autism but could you help by making suggestions of how to make this determination as to where to move? OR share your family's experience where you live now? If you are satisfied, etc.
To me better services and care start with having state laws that force insurance carriers to provide for treatments. Usually it follows that there are fewer and reduced services when the business… read more
It is time for my daughter to move on from the care of her Neurodevelopmental Pediatrician and we can't seemed to find anyone to move on to. Anyone have a recommendation for a doctor with some experience caring for adults with ASD in the Northeast PA area? Could even travel to Southern NY if we found a good doctor.
No none. Seems to be a non-existent field. I am continuing to search.
Hi guys,
I'm seeking opinions on retirement locations for parents with adult children. I'll retire in another decade, but want to lay the groundwork for a smooth transition. I anticipate my adult son will live with us, so I'm looking for areas with the best services. My current location is pretty decent in terms of services, but it's too costly for retirees. All info is much appreciated!
Thanks.
Hi my son is 23 and I’m supposed to transfer to Sacramento in September. I’m petrified. He gets a day program in Florida, and 70 hours a week of care that I’m paid to care for him. Our wage is $15 an… read more

My name is JC Ellinger, and I am a writer for Autism Parenting Magazine. I am doing a piece all about 504s which, unlike IEPs, parents may be less familiar with. If you have experience or a story you would like to share with me and other families, I am open ears (and eyes)! Of course, if you are more comfortable with privately emailing me about it we could arrange that as well. Hope to hear from some of you! Happy Friday to all 🙂
I have experience with the 504 and an IEP. If we could do a private chat. My email is (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators)
