Does anyone know of a good app for learning to spell? My daughter can read but when it comes to writing out words she skips some sounds all together. She usually gets the first letter and the last letter but has trouble with vowels in between and sounds like "ch", "sh", "th", etc. It would need to be something good for a 2nd grader, nothing too easy like "cat", "dog", etc. She can memorize words for a spelling test but loses them if she is trying to use them in context.
Thank you, @A MyAutismTeam Member!
Does anyone know of auditory integration therapy in Sacramento CA?
And yes he is still in public school. He has been his whole life. As far as I know.. He has been well taken care of and looked after.
Out of pure desperation, my wife is seeking possibilities with alternative treatments. One of mom's in school (we just started LEAP program) recommended and said it did miracles for her. I honestly find it hard to believe, too good to be true and opportunism of the 'doctors', exploiting our desperation and fear. But i'm open to all opinions, please
Thanks in advance,

Anybody who promises a "cure" is overhyping their treatment. But that does NOT mean that it's all just snake oil and you should just stick to pharmaceuticals and ABA. Pharmaceuticals have their… read more
Some very personal stuff has been happening to my son. Law related. We have been denied help because he has Autism (Asperger Syndrome). I need to talk to some people with older AS kids. Thank you.Cheryl

Yes. Some kids with ASD have significant sleep issues likely tied to circadian rthyms. Many of the meds used in sundown syndrome are the same ones being tried for autism. As a supplement, melatonin… read more
can anyone recommend a non/delayed vax friendly pediatrician in the schaumburg area??? I'm having the hardest time finding one!!!!

My son is 7 years old. a good friend offered to give my daughter (age 9) a horse. She can either choose an adult (that would need to be trained) or a colt that she can have in 3 years. My worries are that my son with ASD would get hurt around the horse. He is not scared of anything, however reading about hippotherapy, horses are very therapeutic. Any thoughts??
I think I will look into some places close to home that does hippotherapy. I don't think it is safe to have a horse in my back yard. Gaetano has already sneaked outside and into the fish pond.
Personally, I have been telling my son, and at some times with a louder voice, not to do something that he isn't allowed to do or something that can cause injury to himself or others. I try to explain it to him that if he does something that can cause injury to himself or others, it can make ouchies or pain, maybe even go to hospital.
My husband yells at Orion in a stern voice and after 3-5 times, he feels that if it's a danger to Orion, he'll spank Orion's outer thigh near the buttocks and I… read more
All an ASD kid is thinking.. I'm getting spanked. they don't relate it to the behavior at all (again talking classic autism) this is why punishment is just cruel.
I tried the alarm and acupuncture and did not work. He has no any physical problems. His Dr. said will grow out of it when his body starts making ADH hormone at night. Did any body tried chiropractor, hypnosis or biofeedback for this issue and what is your experience?
Oh gosh i can't remember, sorry
