I'm wondering if my child constantly needing oral stimulation can be related to her ASD? I didn't get a straight answer when I asked the doctor about it. Not sure if it's Pica since it's not necessarily dirt, paint chips, drywall, etc. it's more like paper, cardboard, plastic, hair, etc. She's constantly chewing on anything and everything and sometimes consumes these things.

We can't just ignore something like this so he gets our attention for sure… read more

It is possible that my son's toileting woes are due to encopresis. I'm trying to get him regular in the hopes that I can help him complete his toilet training. Has anyone out there been able to do this with a teenager or adult?
@A MyAutismTeam Member...doctors orders were to increase fiber supplements (metamucil in drinks or chocolate chews), increase fiber in diet if possible, and do 2 capfuls of Miralax daily while on… read more
