I'm looking for a Dr. for my son in the St. Louis area who can "manage" his autism. In other words, look at what we're doing and give us suggestions for therapies and advice. My son is five, high-functioning, mild language delay, some stimming that we need help with, help with social skils, etc.
OT and speech/language. Most recent language eval. placed him in the low range of normal, which is giant progress for him. OT is mainly for fine motor. I'm specifically wondering if we need some ABA… read more
My 10 year old son desperately wants friends. We don't have too many kids in our neighborhood. It would be nice to find some sort of play date with group outings to periodically meet up with so he can have play time with kids his age. He does belong to Scouts but they really don't do that many outings, surprisingly.
Hi friends, can you share experiences of GFCF diet on your kids ? Does it improve speech?
That’s wonderful Information. Can you please suggest any website where I can get dosage information for 3yr old ASD kids esp for fish oil. and multivitamins. Thanks.
I am living in Malaysia
The definition of homeschool here is a center setup with small number of students. (Homeschool here may have different definition to most other countries, where it means strictly doing studies in own home).
My son is 7 years old, high functioning autism. Currently placed in nursery (preschool daycare)

Therefore I ended with Option B, seeing that it has a good ratio mixture of special and normal kids, and teachers are prepared to accept special kids
The teaching style will have more attention to… read more
For those of you that noticed positive changes do you have any recommendations as to what brands/types of enzymes you had success with? My son is a very picky eater so my concern is putting the powder from the capsules on his food as that might cause him to limit his foods even more. Anyone have any luck with the chewable enzymes that are available?
We just started using vital zymes chewables by Klaire labs, it's only been 2 weeks and I'm not sure how I can tell if it's working.
Hi,
I have 5 years old autistic son and we are leaving in Maryland.My son was receiving ABA therapies from a private company.ABA services were provided almost every working day for 15-16 months.
Unfortunately, on March 1st, our company was reverifying the benefits for the 2016 policy, United Health Care (private insurance from my husband work in Virginia) did find an error in the previously stated benefits
They are stating that this is a small group policy and it does not have ABA therapy… read more

I am having difficulty organizing my thoughts for a preliminary evaluation with the pediatrician. I feel like I have such a long laundry list I'm having a hard time approaching it. Tips?
Did you write it down? I kept a list for years.
Does anyone have good ideas for GF/CF snacks lower in sugar? (budget friendly) We will continue to let our son have all natural fruit snacks at school because it is up to once daily and it is counterproductive to have him grabbing kid's food and feeling inferior watching people eat. At home he is eating too many. We can put away but want to look at something new.
I heard good things about Now brand.
