I Wanted To Ask Parents To Know How Well Their Autistic Child Transitioned From Elementary To Middle School?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Even though my son is currently in 2nd grade, I can't help but wonder about his future especially once he finishes Elementary. My son is no longer in special education classes but he does need help in a lot of things. His school work for now isn't an issue, it's the normal everyday things he needs help with.

I live in the Durant area of Oklahoma and am pretty new here. My three year old son still has no speech what so ever and has left me frustrated. Does anyone in the Durant area know of any speech therapy programs that can help my son for free or possibly not too horribly expensive?

Does Anyone Have Any Research Articles On The Use Of ABLLS Protocol?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am trying to prepare for a meeting in January when I plan to formally request my foster son's programming NOT be ABLLS driven. I want some research on the (non) effectivecy of pure ABLLS protocol for adolescents with severe ID (but anything will do).

My Son Is 10 And 5'4 He Fixated On A 300$ Spider-Man Collectable I Caved And Have It Coming For The Holidays.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I find that giving into him might be making things worse. His anger has spiked and when we had company it was too much stimulation to tree decorate. I would like some advice on what would work with fixations and anger fits?? I don't like holding him down for shots at the drs. Ect.
