I have been doing a lot of research on the internet lately to see if there is any other natural things that may be of use to my severe autistic 13 yr old daughter for self injury. I have seen a lot of people try supplements B6, Calcium, Magnesium, & DMG and some have had a lot of success. Just wondering if anyone has tried these with their child? and the outcomes? Any negative effects?
I've given my son B6 and Magnesium together before. After a few months, it seemed to lesson his hyperactivity. I gave him DMG when he was younger, but I don't remember how well it worked.
I was lucky could not grow a mustache till about 20yrs but was able to handle it thank goodness.
My husband received an offer for a government job in TX ( we can live anywhere in the state, where we live will determine which location he will work in) Our biggest concern is finding an appropriate school district for our son to make sure all of his needs are meet. I did research online and I get conflicting information. Some websites say TX is horrible for children with Autism others state its decent. My son's current school district in NJ is awesome. He gets all of his therapies in school… read more
You are welcome.
my 5 year old is going to start school soon. How do i get him ready for it? I'm afraid he won't be able to adjust. He has PDD-NOS.
If it's possible, go to school with him. Stay a little bit or all day, until he feels comfortable with your leaving him. pick him up after school until he's comfortable enough to ride the bus… read more
Help my ex wont give my son his meds on the weekends or vacation time he has him. so my son goes days without it and comes home more upset and violent with his sisters and me. I have try to talk to his father about making sure that he gets it but got told that he can give it to himself which the doctor says no because of where he is on the spectrum. I have tired talking to DFCS where I live and got told they cant do anything because I have the child most of the time. What else can I do because… read more
It is a form of negligence called medical negligence, I believe, for a parent to not give meds. I’m shocked that DCFS won’t do anything! CPS? My ex is the same but my child is only on meds when she is… 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. So he is now doing 4 newspaper routes but all in one day. Because people speak to him and he doesn't answer, we accompany him on all the routes. I'm 76 and there are days when I am finding it tough. So I would like to get him another job where he could work on his own without our being present. Also, he only receives 8cents a paper so that is a lot of… read more
I was lucky to work in a space by myself. That worked great but not everyone can.
I have set up my mind that it will be for my kids best interest to relocate to either Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New York, the reason I say it is because I live in Texas and my sons(ages 10,7) basically don't get any additional support besides what is given at school which I strongly believe its not enough. Schools are fine, I am happy so far with teachers. Another problem I have is that my husband is self employed(IT consultant) so he works on project to project basis which means he does not… read more
I am about to move to South Jersey toward the Wildwood, Cape May area. My son is 18. DE keeps them til they r 21 until they transition to an adult program. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
She tends to do okay once she’s asleep. Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night but she’s alert. She woke up today at 5am after sleeping since 9:30 last night. She was crying and throwing herself on her bed. It was like when she had a meltdown. I don’t believe she was in pain. She kept giving me the tv remote but she wasn’t happy with anything I put on the tv. Water always calms her down so we got her in the shower and after 20 minutes of playing with bubbles she calmed down and got… read more
Maybe she is experiencing a hard transition between sleep and waking moments or differentiating between dream and reality ...
I went through that a lot when my son was younger. HE would wake up… read more

Hi! I have a crazy idea and i was wondering if you mommies will like it! Im a makeup lover and when i do get a minute to myself i love watching makeup tutorials on youtube. So i was thinking of starting a channel where i will do my makeup ( im not a makeup artist or anything like that, just a girl that loves make up), but also talk about my day with my son, and how his theraphies went, my experience with finding out about his autism. Pretty much a channel where all of us mommies can come… read more
Personally I am just starting to reach out and talk with other parents & don't do much on social media. But, I think this is a wonderful idea and great way to keep a diary of sorts. I think you would… read more
