We have downstairs neighbours who are always complaining. I have tried percussion instruments but he just breaks them. I have tried getting him to bang on the couch instead. He’s not interested. Help!
Oh wow we have the same problem!!! Let me know if that works for your guys.. we have thought of buying a crash mat but they are very expensive and whenever he hits the floor it’s not the same place… read more
I have an idea to start a school/center for kids and adults that are non-verbal or struggle to communicate and are NOT getting the academic rigor that they so deserve. What do you think
It would be for a students or adults that need a way to express themselves that traditional schools do not usually allow them or expect them to be able to do so
I’m at the beginning stages of my business venture so I would need some students to see if I can ignite the creativity. Ideas include: art, music,… read more
Email me: (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) if you are interested in seeing if I can ignite the spark that already exists in your child!
My son is on an ADHD med, Vyvanse. Does anyone have experience using mood stabilizing medication with their children along with Vyvanse or other ADHD meds? How about the addition of blood pressure medication that has been seen to stabilize moodiness caused by ADHD meds?
This is a really good question, I myself take ability for mood and it hasn’t been helping, plus it wakes me up at night a lot. My son is fixing to be 9 and his always had problems with irritability… read more
My son is very picky and sometimes he just doesn't want food at all. I'll offer food over and over, his favorites, new foods, fast foods, junk foods, sometimes NOTHING works and he just won't eat. Sometimes offering junk food or fast food does the trick but he mostly just doesn't seem to want food. We're giving him pedicure, he's always been a skinny mini (his dad was SUPER skinny as a kid too) but I know that he's almost underweight so I want to know if this is common? What are some of the… read more
Thank you so much for your comment
My son loves to eat and eats quite a few things, but he will regurgitate his food and seems to be eating it a second time ( so gross I know). I don't know why he does this or even how to stop it, any ideas would be great.
I have a little friend w autism that had to proble as well. The OT thought it was sensory and used the tooth brush. The behaviorist thought it was attention seeking and put a plan together w the… read more
My daughter recently was discharged from an inpatient facility, they put her on chlozapine because of her increased aggression. The weekly blood draws were difficult, we had them come to the house… read more
I have a very picky eater - I allowed him to get very hungry and offering him healthy food and eventually ate. Don't be scared won't eat for 2-3 days as long as drinking something - it is fine
In home ABA therapy specifically.
I highly recommend it, the sooner the better. My son started it when he was 3 almost, 4, but I wish I would have started sooner. It made a big difference for us as a family. He is 12 now, and… read more
I’m worried he might climb over the fence after and we cannot find him
I recommend exercisers that work on the individual fingers, like grip masters. https://prohands.net/
Here is a website, just to give you the idea of what I am talking about. Musicians use these to… read more
Does anyone have any idea on how to stop an autistic child from stealing food? My daughter steals food (mostly sweets) it's not that I don't feed her or even allow her to have the items that she takes but she continues to take them without asking and hides to eat it. I've tried putting it where she shouldn't be able to get it but she finds a way. I dont by sweets often they are truly a treat but if I cant find away to stop the sneaking then we will become a treat free zone.
I have to put combo locks on the cabinets and lock up certain rooms like storage. It’s definitely an impulse issue. My daughter wants to stop but keeps relapsing. The worst part is that she lies about… read more
