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

Has anyone had any experience with their child with Asperger's Syndrome taking German in school? My older daughter took Spanish in high school (she also has Asperger's), but my son will be taking German and I am worried because it can be a very difficult language to learn.

I need help. My son is 18 months old. He just got over having E. coli.

Any suggestions please, they’ve tried many things including melatonin but it doesn’t seem to keep him asleep for any reasonable amount of time. Both parents work… read more

My son will wander off if he sees the door open when he's at school. It's so bad that he does it anywhere from 5 to 10 times a day sometimes. He'll wander/run off when we're out shopping or at a park. Even at home I've chased him a few houses down. It scares me so much. And he doesn't get scared if he doesn't see me or his daddy anywhere around, he'll just keep on walking.

He is already in emotional therapy to work out many issues surrounding his prenatal exposures and parental abandonment and I have brought this subject up as well. I am gathering slowly that it may be a reaction to either built up anxiety or momentary anxiety that he does not know how to express or process, but I worry greatly that he will ask others to do the same thing and this puts him… read more
