Can Anyone Share How You May Be Experiencing Or Have In The Past With Inappropriate Sexual Acting Out In Your Young ASD Child?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My grandson asks me and another very close family member to touch his privates and it greatly concerns me. He is already in emotional therapy to work out many issues surrounding his prenatal exposures and parental abandonment and I have brought this subject up as well. I am gathering slowly that it may be a reaction to either built up anxiety or momentary anxiety that he does not know how to express or process, but I worry greatly that he will ask others to do the same thing and this puts him… read more

Where Can You Buy Toys Or Gagets That Satisfy The Urge To Tear Up Socks By Pulling All The Strings Out? Also, Where Do Autistic Teens Hang
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My grandson puts himself to sleep by pulling on a sock with his mouth to start to untangle it until all of the threds are pulled out. What can I do to change this behavior.

Also, my 13-year-old grandson is home schooled and has no friends other than family and his puppy. Is there any kind of social activities he and others can attend? Are there any churches who may have Youth Meetings where kids can meet and greet, maybe dance and sing or play card and board games>

How To Get Approved For Support Services
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I just had my home visit for IHSS. I live in San Diego County, CA. I had my sons doctor fill out the initial form as requested. The social worker who is in charge of my sons case was not helpful. She had me explain all of Lucas' abilities/inabilities & basically said she needs me to right up a statement noting all of Lucas' "severe" behaviors. She said he would only be eligible for 24 hr home care. I'm confused on what they are looking for when it comes to this statement. I explained everything… read more

School Issues.....
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone ever filed a complaint with their state's board of education because the district did not resolve the issue? My issue is my son's school has not had a speech therapist on staff all year. I found out the one from last year is still in the district but in a different position...... Did the issue get resolved after this? Was your child treated differently at school after and during complaint process?

Dont You Think Its Kinda Odd That A.b.a Instructors Cant Be In Public For Services?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

how double standard is the fact that a.b.a providers cant be seen in public doing there therapy , why not its considered child abuse? wth is wrong here?

A MyAutismTeam Member

That does sound like it is specific to your provider. We also have community outings. Our ABA therapist spends as much time out of the office for visits than in the office.
