Sleep Troubles With ASD?

I know trouble sleeping is a common problem for people with ASD. My 3 year old at least once a night (most nights) wakes up for a good 45 min anywhere from 1 am to 3 am. She doesn't cry but just starts loudly talking or singing to herself (let me tell you, a 3 year old singing "Naaaaaants igonyaaaaaaaama bagithi babaaaaa!" from the Lion King on Broadway at 3 am sounds like it'd be funny, but it's not. ).

Taking Advantage

My son is easily manipulated and wants so badly to have friends. He is a video game wiz and feels much more comfortable communicating on apps. Unfortunately he has been asked repeatedly for money from people he thinks will be his friend. I feel so bad because he believes he is helping these scammers by sending them money. Is anyone here from Evansville Indiana?

5 Year Old Suspended

Hi can anyone help me please. My 5 year old got suspended from kindergarten for biting his aid.The aid said he was under the table and he approached the aid and bit her. I am very confused because my child has not bitten since last year. He has ABA therapist 6 days a week, 2 baby sitters, his cousins and parents and none of us experienced him biting. I know my son he would not just bite you I’m guessing she just forced him to come out that table then he got mad.

I am so mad it seems like… read more
