I'm having some difficulty with my 5 year old son at bath time. When I start the water he starts to cry and begs not to take a bath. If he's in another room he will run in and drag me out closing the door of the bathroom behind him. I've tried visual schedule and talking to him letting him know that it will be bath time later. Once he is in the bath he fine and relaxes but getting him in is the problem. He's limited verbally but so far hasn't demonstrated discomfort, he loves the pool but cries… read more
Thank you so much everyone. He won't shower but I've tried not having him hear the running water. I make sure he's in another part of the house while I fill the tub a bit. Then I slowly and calmly get… read more
I've been there with my son at the same age. His nursery took him away from the play area when he did it and in time he realised that that behaviour had consequences he didn't like (toy and play area… read more
My son is 4 years old and doesnt really show any affection with me because I am firm with him on what he can and cant do.. My wife babies him more so he always gravitate towards my wife. The challenge is I have to be firm with him because that works. I know this because when Im not around his tantrums are almost out of control. I have tried to be super sweet like my wife but his just starts to act up so I have to be revert to being firm.
One of my concerns is my son will grow up hating me… read more
HI, one thing that has worked for me is that when my son misbehaves, I take away a preferred activity. Taking away my sons iPad and only giving it to him at night after dinner if he behaves good all… read more
Has anybody tried the glueten free/ casein free diet for your autistic kids and if so did you notice improvement in your child's speech/ behavior?
We tried casein free for a short while, noticed he was upset about the restriction (denying him macaroni and cheese when that was his favorite food) I'll admit he may have been "detoxing", but I also… read more

My 4-year old son with HFA had just started special Ed December 2014. He goes there's Mon to Fri 7:45 to 10:45 am. To give him opportunity to mingle with regular kids, I enrolled him in regular daycare from 11 to 3. Starting January, I have contracted through my private insurance ABA 8:30 to 12:00, ST 12:30 to 1:00 and OT 1:00 to 2:00 on Thursdays and Fridays. These are the only openings that these therapies have so I am willing to take them. I asked the school if he would be allowed to attend… read more
No Jackie, the ABA people here don't come to the school. And my son's school schedule is only from 7:45 am to 10:45 am. His ABA takes longer than that.
My son is currently four-years old and has been in a special education preschool for two. They told me (by law) they have to enroll him into a mainstream school to start kindergarten next year because his birthday falls before July. I am going to find a church to put him in a few days a week that has a low ratio. I am very concerned about starting him in kindergarten next year. He already has behavioral and social issues in his current classroom. I was thinking of enrolling him at Prairie… read more
Thank you! I am going to wait another year to start him in kindergarten but there is no where else for him to go since NE law wants children to start school at age 5 with only two years of preschool… read more
Hi,
Now that we seem to be close to starting ABA. I want to find a good OT and ST for my son. First on the list is OT (he gets 30 min of speech at school already).
Please any recommendations would be much appreciated.
We live in Santa Clara, CA
Thanks and Happy New Year everyone!

I'm looking for a small weighted blanket that you are done using that is in good condition & you would like to sell. The weight needs to be 2 to 3 lbs & cotton material for breatheability. My 2 yr old can't sleep through the night. Since these blankets are so expensive & I don't know if he will like it I'm hoping to find someone who wants to sell theirs. Thanks.
The ones by mosaic are very affordable and come in different sizes. I had a small one for my son in my choice of the fabrics they offered for $100. It is large enough for a twin bed. Everyone has… read more
