We ended up using the Little Keeper Sleeper with our son until he was fully out of diapers. A snug fit is key. We went up a size trying to get ahead of a growth spurt, and he was able to pull his… read more

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son, Logan, started sticking his hands down the back of his diaper and picking them and leaving cotton everywhere. I have recently caught him eating it and fear he will get sick. Is there something I can do to stop this bad habbit other than scolding or yelling at him? I have tried cloth diapers but school will not allow it. I tried potty training and he is not ready..

Does Your Adult Autistic Offspring Struggle With Being A Work-o-holic And Subsequent Burnout?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

As evident I'm a work-o-holic. From the time I get up until I go to bed, I'm working. A Full-time Job and at least two passion projects that I try to give attention to every day.

I know he was upset about something but can… read more

It's important that the people changing the diaper remain calm even if there is kicking and throwing of the diaper or refusal to put pants back on. If there is music or a video the toddler likes, have… read more
