I have a group of friends who have been such great mom friends. But ever since Johns Diagnosis they seem to not be as helpful. They don’t quite understand the demands of therapy and ABA and the schedule juggling. They try to help but often I find them more annoying then helpful. They even try to talk to me about their Neurotypical kiddos problems at school and I try to help but also find myself getting annoyed at there problems as well. Does anyone else feel this way. Is it part of the process… read more

My wife wants have Nerotherapy sessions for my son who is 7 to help him with communication behavior ect. It is not covered by insurance. I think medication would be better. Has anyone used Nerotherapy before and if so how was your experience with it? Thank You

My grandson is getting in trouble at school because he’s pushing or biting other kids. We’ve had many conversations, but he always gets easily frustrated and reacts this way. How do we help him?

I’ve had some mild success with taking my lovely boy off of dairy. His BMs have improved greatly and I’ve noticed some change in his behaviour.

Thanks everyone!!

Seeing how it went last year when they had cohorts and masking (non delta variant mind you) we were… read more

It seems like he wants decisions to be made for him and he will just go along with things if we tell him to. He's 18. I don't know if he just doesn't think it matters or if he really can't decide and it is a real worry for me for his future.

In home ABA therapy specifically.

Now that we are in the middle of cold and flu season (and also Covid) I wanted to get some tips or advice about giving meds to young autistic children who are non-verbal. It’s a challenge for us to even know what ails my son because he doesn’t communicate well.

Right now, he’s had a bad cold for a week and I took him to the doctor and he also has an ear infection. They prescribed antibiotics in liquid form but I can’t disguise it in chocolate milk because the taste is too strong. The… read more
