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
Ok I hate to ask this question, but maybe I am just looking for what to say to people mainly friends and family when they ask if I think the vaccines caused my sons autism. I truly do not believe it did, my son got the biggie after his regression started. However I do have a couple of family members who lived close to us at the time it started showing and they are convinced that it was the shots and are ready to argue with me every time and have convinced other family members to put off the… read more
Definitely not in our case, I noticed tommy behaved differently to my other children, he could spend all day without interacting with me If I let him, that was when he was about a year and a half… read more
I have a 7 year old Aspie, 5 year old ADHD and a 8 month old. I was not aware of the connections with vaccines and autism and got my first two children vaccinated per the regular schedule. I am now trying to figure out what to do with my 8 month old...if you don't get shots how do you prevent serious illness?

With the recent measeles outbreak, the vaccination debate has started once again. It doesn't seem like much of a debate, however since the right not to vaccinate doesn't seem to be saying anything. Why is there no one speaking out? The only one that has spoken out on parental rights was Rand Paul.
Here's my take on the vaccination debate, as of this moment. Like every single medication or other man-made substance out there, MOST children can get their vaccines & have no major issues, but some… read more
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
anyone know if there's any science behind it? i haven't found any, but just curious
I recently came accross a big movement happening. Now they are admitting that the dtap vaccine can cause neurological disorders.
My daughter and 2 of her classmates will soon "age-out" of our state's education program for special needs children. They have "behaviors" that will prevent them from obtaining and keeping a job. There are also no affordable facilities or programs for young adults in our area. As a group we would like to develop a program similar to the one they have at school but lack the funds. I've researched online but was only shown sites to obtain funding for chartering a school which is not what we… read more
