How And Who Do You Tell That Your Child Is On The Spectrum?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Teachers? Neighbors? People in the store? Family?

A MyAutismTeam Member

I Feel Like We Are Not Doing Enough To Help Our 4 Year Old. Where Do You Find The Help And Therapies?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

A MyAutismTeam Member

Flushing Foreign Objects Down The Toilet
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone dealt with their child flushing foreign objects down their toilets (e.g., toys, string, etc.)? We're trying to figure out what the fascination is, but more importantly, how to stop the behavior! TIA.

A MyAutismTeam Member

Dealing with it for many years. Hate to say it, but there is not a magic solution. We usually resort to locking the bathroom - even then he finds a key. Turning off water, disabling the flusher etc… read more
