Your department of vocational rehab should be able to help you. Also if your child is still in school his school counselor should have some resources.
I am doing research on the brain and how Owen associates color. He wants everyone in “blue pants” which is technically blue jeans but any blue pants will do.
My favorite color is turquoise, and I also love lime green and purple! I experience a phenomenon known as synesthesia, which means a fusion of the senses. For me, letters and numbers are all… read more
My 12 yr old has been so bad at home and refusal school I had to make him go stay a few weeks at his dad's just a few miles down the road from me. He was making myself and his siblings late for school/work. My job already has me on a tight rope because of all of this so I'm trying to not loose my job at all. Well his dad came and picked him up and I judt had an iep meeting and found out his father has not taken him to school once since he's had him! Sadly for me. Years ago I fought my city hard… read more
I like how the school doesn’t hold the dad accountable and won’t give you an exception given that you didn’t do it. I hope you can find compassion for him on the money piece. Maybe there’s a way he… read more
My son had been taking Guanfacine for over a year for ADHD and it has been great and helped a lot. Recently out of the blue he started to have really bad anxiety and panic attacks, he absolutely miserable. My heart breaks because he is just so sad. Our neurologist advised to try CBD to help with anxiety. We added 15mg about a week ago in addition to Guanfacine and for the first 2 days it seem to help a lot, but last 4 days it seems like it’s just getting worse. In addition he is not sleeping… read more
Has he ever taken Adderall? I've been on it for about 15 years and it helps my focus and motivation greatly!

I bought a travel trailer to live in. My family is completely confused. I was living in my son's home while he moved to New York. They do not understand why I would want to downsize and become a trailer bumpkin
They don't understand that I do better with less stimuli around me. I want to decorate my trailer in all white with fluffy textures and peaceful settings. I want to have a white rock porch with benches and shade and nature and air. This is my first decision for myself since the divorce.… read more
That sounds awesome! Go for it :)
Where can we get a device to help the kids communicate more.
Just stay with one device or you'll confuse him.
My son will attend ESY in June. We don’t have any plans except a family reunion. There is a family of ducks in our community swimming pool. 😏 I am already thinking of ways to keep my son busy when ESY ends.
What activities do you have planned for your child/teen/adult?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
My son will attend a Speech Therapy Camp where they will work on social skills, literacy, motor skills, and STEM. Also, taking him to the Aquarium Restaurant, Dave and Buster's, ice skating, and a… read more
My son is 6 and says a few words only. Is non verbal autism considered saying no words? Thanks all for taking the time to read this.
I found this posted somewhere online:

Care Home give liquid vitamins to nonverbal son and which he likes taking but at the moment won't take the Omega 3,6,9 vitamin and thinking getting him smaller capsules?
How do you convince your child?
Luke and Kate were both very orally defensive as toddlers (and even through the single digit ages). But both are in their 30s now, and take pills (even big capsules) without a fuss. Good thing, too… read more
