Has Anyone Used Colored Gel Filters On Exterior Lighting?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone used colored gel filters on exterior lights for Light It Up Blue? I have the opportunity to light up the Court House in my town and I could use some advice. I'm supposed to talk to the maintenance guy tomorrow and get more specs on the type of bulb (I believe it's halogen, which poses a problem with extreme heat), the size of the light fixtures, how we can attach the filters, etc. But if anyone has this experience, I'll sure listen!

How Can We Polietly Avoid Stranger's Questions When We Need To Focus On Our Son?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Our 5 year old struggled at his cousin's birthday party, that he asked to attend for a week. He seemed overstimulated. Sensory items only helped a little. I tried to offer him a break but he said no.He wanted to be there. He struggles the most in this type of situation. He understands a lot, and is very aware.

This is so true. I also often answer by saying that he gets excited etc. It is hard to believe that an adult would behave that way. It did not come across as well meaning.

My 9 Yr Old Son Has Aspergers
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son knows he has some problems. He was moved to a school that has a BD program. He wants to get better. He wants his brain to be normal. He feels alone a lot and needs to know he's not the only kid going through this. Are there any DVDs out there for him to watch to help him?

A MyAutismTeam Member
