My son loves stickers and bus rides but better is train journey
He likes watching Youtube videos, listening to music, making animation using Stick Node, dancing, ice skating, swimming, eating, and being tickled. Lol.
@A MyAutismTeam Member I can play by ear, too :) I can play a lot of the music from Sonic games as well as the Super Mario music 😊
My son has a habit of constantly licking his fingers and then “playing” with his saliva. I haven’t noticed him doing it in specific situations , it’s more of a constant thing throughout the day. Any tips on how to stop this behavior?
mittens, tape( fingers one by one / or some / nail polish in Amazon
if my son is playing a game on the copmuter or ps2 and he loses he has a complete meltdown, and i try to calm himm down but talking to him only makes him madder and holding him makes it worse so then my dad(who doesnt understand autism) comes to the bedroom(which has no door on it for me to be able to shut,and tells me to just spank his behind. But I dont want to teach him to hit or slap any more than he does already, anyone got advice, i sure could use it
Just let it run it's course and try to "ignore" it, making sure he can't hurt himself by matter-of-factly removing objects that could cause him harm.
My 4 year old daughter is terrified of butterflies, flies, love bugs, basically any flying insect...she used to love playing outside until she became aware of them...now I can barely get her to the car if she sees something flying around. I've read books with her about insects and also have told her they won't hurt her but she doesn't seem to understand...has anyone else encountered this problem if so what have u done to teach them about the differences between insects that don't hurt you and… read more
I have worked with children who get a the whole package (ABA, Speech, OT) and those who just do ABA. It honestly depends on your behavior analyst. A good behavior analyst will individualize ABA… read more
We are planning a family reunion and would like advice on travel in an airplane. Info on recent travels is what I am looking for. We want to go to New York next year and would like to start planning. Any advice, travel info, best times to leave from Chicago, which airline, benefits for disabled people would be greatly appreciated.
@Samala-Thank you for that information. I really wish I could drive for 13 hours but I am the only transportation and nobody else has traveled for that length of time. Also, in July, we took the twins… read more
We re planning to move to Austin TX and considering either Leander or RR school districts for our 3y.o. son with ASD. Does anyone know if either of them use a combination of play with ABA therapy? Our son responds much better when he is playing and having fun rather than working for any kind of reinforcer ( including edibles). Thanks!
I am enjoying art lessons at the moment and my son loves stickers
John is a bowler, but he likes ushering in our church. His phone is essential, because he cannot read!
Any apps or suggestions to improve fine motor movements
Dexteria Jr.-Fine Motor Skills Development App. Our OT adviced us it's really helpful.
She tends to do okay once she’s asleep. Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night but she’s alert. She woke up today at 5am after sleeping since 9:30 last night. She was crying and throwing herself on her bed. It was like when she had a meltdown. I don’t believe she was in pain. She kept giving me the tv remote but she wasn’t happy with anything I put on the tv. Water always calms her down so we got her in the shower and after 20 minutes of playing with bubbles she calmed down and got… read more
Maybe she is experiencing a hard transition between sleep and waking moments or differentiating between dream and reality ...
I went through that a lot when my son was younger. HE would wake up… read more
