How Do I Stop Diaper Picking?
My daughter sticking her hands down the back of his diaper and picking them and leaving cotton everywhere. I have recently caught her eating it
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
TBH— I want a comparison. I guess I want to stop ignoring attention seeking just because of my emotions.
My (4) year old has limited verbal skills, but she knows "Mommy" and she will yell it at the top of her lungs if she loses sight of me. If I don't respond right away she escalates. Its incredibly… read more
My son has a finger nail lifting from the nail bed about half way up his nail. It is away from the skin but the top half is still connected. Anyone else ever experience this? Any suggestions?

As most of you may have experienced, we have been dealing with sensory-seeking challenging behaviors for a very long time, they come and go and vary in topography.

Does he take a medicine? It was listed as a possible side effect for my son's medicine. It could be out of boredom or anxiety. My son has been chewing on things lately.
Hello, all. I am seeking any tips, advice, suggestions, anything on how to manage ABA therapy with my three year old diagnosed with autism while also having another little one. I am nervous/worried about my two year old feeling neglected and want to make sure I’m fulfilling the needs of both.
I think those of us who have two or more children have been through this, I remember feeling like I wouldn’t be able to give equally to my boys when my younger child was diagnosed. If the ABA hours… read more
This is not about my autistic child but about my almsot 4 month old, she eats every hour and will scream and cry if i dont feed her, the doctors say i am feeding her too much but she has eaten like this the day she was born, should i slow down on the feedings or continue with the way i am feeding her now
My son still eats every hour, eight and a half years later. He burns his calories very quickly. No problems have been diagnosed. He is not under or over weight either.
