Angel Sense
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone ever heard of Angel Sense? If u have have u tried it? My son will be starting classes in September with BCIU/early intervention and im worried how he will do and how teachers will treat him. It has a tracker if ur kid goes missing and u can even listen in on conversation wherever they are. It snaps to clothing or backpack. Wanted to know if its worth getting for the price and is it really reliable. Its rated 5 star's. Let me know what u guys think.

@michele18- homeschool kids socialize too, it's just not as demanding to do, and there are escapes. It also allows your child to have 100% customized attention and curriculim.

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just in need of some of your thoughts on Clonidine? My 3yr old has started to have massive sleeping issues and melatonin has not been successful. I spoke with his Developmental Pediatrician and she suggests trying this medication. I have researched it as much as I can, but am very interested in hearing from others. has it been successful with your kiddos, worth a try or should I try a different method??? I get a little nervous with going the medication route? Thanks for the feedback

Which Therapies Are Most Important For Young Toddlers?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter has ABA theraphy and nothing else yet. I want her to have speech, occupational and physical but not sure she would be able to handle all of that at once, plus I don't see how there is enough time to fit all of that in daily.

Natural Supplements To Deal With Uncontrollable Laughter
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi everyone

This is is my first time posting.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Has anyone ever dealt with uncontrollable laughter.

I have recently been struggling to get my son to stop this behavior.
He Only calms down when is on clonidine. When the medication wears off he can go on and on.

Does anyone know of any natural medication, or supplements that can help keep him calm when is not on clonidine.?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
