Potty Training Regression?
Potty Training Regression?
We took a week long vacation and oldest would not go on the potty the entire time. He wasn’t proficient before we left but he would have dry diapers often and pee almost immediately when we would put him on the potty every 1-2hrs. I expected him to regress on vacation, it tends to trigger a lot of things with him.

My Son Is 17 With Autism And Over Yea Climb Even Onto Furniture And Off. He Recently Jumped Off The Banister. Help!
I’ve tried trampoline, exercises, etc but he wants to jump off what he wants. Any suggestions? He seems to be seeking input in his feet and ankles. He’s even climbed into drawers and likes the feeling of the crunching wood. Anyone ever experience this? Every replacement doesn’t work
