Help my ex wont give my son his meds on the weekends or vacation time he has him. so my son goes days without it and comes home more upset and violent with his sisters and me. I have try to talk to his father about making sure that he gets it but got told that he can give it to himself which the doctor says no because of where he is on the spectrum. I have tired talking to DFCS where I live and got told they cant do anything because I have the child most of the time. What else can I do because… read more
It is a form of negligence called medical negligence, I believe, for a parent to not give meds. I’m shocked that DCFS won’t do anything! CPS? My ex is the same but my child is only on meds when she is… read more
We found music therapy after number of sessions helped - they have in Mencap/charity he goes to but not all the time
Starting at age 3 our child had 40 hours a week of Lovaas therapy aka ABA. It was great.
Has anyone ever heard of or used FMA fundamental music therapy for autism? I watched a video where they claim it stimulates a child's brain to help to communicate? Hope you all have a blessed day. https://autisminfocus.com/fma/
I haven’t heard of the term FMA. I do know that music therapy was very beneficial for my son. (It was very disappointing when we lost our MT due to her changing jobs due to the pandemic). He… read more
Any apps or suggestions to improve fine motor movements
Dexteria Jr.-Fine Motor Skills Development App. Our OT adviced us it's really helpful.

My daughter was recently diagnoses with autism so I am still learning about her diagnosis and some of the things that I can expect to experience. One of my biggest challenges helping her when she is experiencing a meltdown. I have tried holding her, or singing to her none of these really help to console her she pretty much has to tire out. The other day she was having a meltdown in the car and I tried offering her my hand to see if just having some physical contact with me would help and that… read more

Yesterday I took my son(autistic, processing delay issues, & speech delays) to the pediatrician for his 11 year old check up. Doctor said he is starting puberty. I expressed my concerns with him because when he doesn't get his way/what he wants, he goes from 0-1000 in a split second. When this 1st started to happen he would hit walls, kick walls & slam doors. Now hes added hitting me (& brother who's 10), pulling hair, yelling, and walking outside. Doctor suggested putting him on a very low dose… read more
Guanfacine is a non-stimulant so it doesn't have the characteristics of being zombie like. Everyone is different when it comes to medication. My son takes Guanfacine and most of the time he is pretty… read more
