Answer: When my ds was getting up constantly we bought a sensor you attached to the wall (we put on our tall computer case). Plug in the other part of the sensor in your bedroom and it will wake you up when someone walks in front of that sensor. My ds is to old now and we can't "pretend" it for the dog anymore... he knows it is for him and wants to play with it. So it's been put away, now 9 out of 10 times I sleep on the couch in the living room. ;O)
Thank you! He is sleeping well again... It seems to be best if he has a workout that day... gets that extra tired energy out.
My daughter is 8, she's been dry during the day for 5 years. She has maybe had 10 dry nights ever. I've tried restricting fluids, a chiropractor, pleading...I'd welcome someone's miracle cure.
Teach them how to wash everything. Learning something new was captivating enough, but the added responsibility of being the sole difference between sleeping on a clean dry vs, wet smelly bed was a… read more

Is there any other mothers out there that has a child with autism and has them in swimming lessons?

How do u know if your child needs ABA?
It’s usually the recommendation of the Dr who diagnosed. If it’s something you’re considering then you’d have an evaluation done just like with other services like speech and OT
Was the person you talked to about Dr. Goldberg a patient or a parent of a patient?
My son is a 25 autistic with aggression and destructive behavior please help
Thank you so much, sorry for the late response.
So, I saw this add for a program for our kids that claims 100% positive results. Apparently, it is tailored to each individual child to take specific steps to improve their behavior, diets, social skills, etc. without the use of ABA. I had a one on one call with the founder last week and she claims to have a daughter on the spectrum that has learned to thrive through her program and her website touts other testimonials of people who have seen social, emotional, and verbal improvements in their… read more
