New to the area, I struggle to make friends here. I am a widow with no ties to this area, I was parachuted here by my company after my hubby's death. I would be interested in meeting single moms, preferentially with Aspie kids my son's age (he is 5).
Hi single mom
I live in Maryland too but my son is 43 with PDD and I have wealth of experience to share. My other son lives in Anne Arundel county.

Does anyone know where I can find college students who are working with children with autism using music?
Not sure if you ended up finding something, but there are music therapy professionals out there. You could try Play Your Part in Mission Viejo.
I'm at the store and I'm wondering if almond milk is casein free
Also I only had regular milk at home before going out today and I gave some to my son the last 2 days. Anyone know if it causes more stimming, frustration and/or over stimulation in children? My toddler has been flapping , rocking more then normal and also his stool is changing so I'm blaming the regular milk. Just wondering

My 20 month old was recently diagnosed so we are new to ASD
My brother came into town yesterday and my son is very shy of strangers. He becomes very clingy, does not want to be in the room with the stranger and is generally more fussy while they are in the house

I am trying to locate a dentist for the girls. I would like to help my daughter as the previous autism dentist we had is no longer available to us. Does anyone have suggestions? The twins are 15 years old high and and low functioning and one is non.verbal.

Does anyone else experience when power or things you can't control that your child freaks out
Teachers? Neighbors? People in the store? Family?
We tell everyone now mostly because I do not let what others think bother me. I have found in the last few years that when you tell people they identify with Autism. Most say they have a friend or… read more
OUr son is almost 4 and he is in Speech Therapy. He hasnt been officially diagnosed but he is probably on the spectrum, he talks and can communicate fine, (alot of achalasia). He can feed himself but is extremely picky! And has social issues. HE throws fit when his schedule is changed. And he will fixate on things. Cant stand strangers lol, But we feel we dont have a specific path. Hes just in therapy and is that just it? When does it end and what about school? We are looking into putting him… read more
What is your experience with Nutrient therapy? We are planning to take nutrient therapy for our son with Dr. Mensah. How long it takes to see initial results and what is the overall experience?
Yes, I was searching for the treatments and stumbled here on Mensah. @A MyAutismTeam Member is giving good guidance to me and so many others.
