Hello, we've heard great things about the school districts in Irvine. My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with moderate ASD. She's been in a special day class in San Leandro, CA and has been in every type of service since she was initially diagnosed (private OT, ABA, Speech and music therapy). The school has offered the basics, and not even OT! After sending letters she will finally have an assessment. She is transitioning to Kinder. At this point we are willing to move wherever services are… read more
I cannot help you with good schools in Irvine. But I can tell you. California has a lot of fantastic laws that protect parents, especially when it comes to getting records And most importantly all the… read more
Hi, I am also in California. My son is not yet school aged, but I was just hoping to offer some resources. Have you been in touch with Regional Centers? https://www.dds.ca.gov/rc/ That is where I… 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
What essential oils have you used with a 2yr child with autism & allergies? What was the effectiveness?
I didn't know that the EO Desk Ref and Aromatherapy for Healthy Children existed. Will order it right away.
Thanks for all of your ideas. My next EO order will be robust.
I say just be careful.
does anyone use essentials oil on their kids with ASD
I use EO's on my son. Cedarwood, vetiver, lavender and frank. All in a blend-for a base. He has adhd as well so that helps to calm him. For autism, I use different things for him based on the kind… read more
I read somewhere that essential oils helps the ASD population. Do you have any to recommend for hyperactivity/impulsiveness? If so, how is it used?
@A MyAutismTeam Member can you add something?
I know it's not crazy, but whenever my friends who have 'typical' kids see this, they crack up. They know me well so we laugh together. :)
I'm from a more natural-living location, and some of my friends have suggested using essential oils to alleviate some of the issues we face with autism. Below is a snippet from a website dealing with medical use of oils... Has anyone done this, had success with it, or failed miserably with them?? Thank you!
"Note - Since many with ADD/ADHD, asperser's, or autism are highly sensitive to odors and sometime touch do not force the application of oils if it is a negative experience as this will… read more

I just started using essential oils on my son and noticed a big difference in his attitude and the way he is able to focus now....I was wondering if anybody else has used them
We use essential oils with my son and they are awesome
Does anyone recommend a certain multivitamin? I see a bunch of different vitamins that contains extra omega 3's, iron, etc. My daughter is a picky eater so i know she doesn't get all the nutrients she needs. She will only eat gummy vitamins. We have tried the flinstones kind but they seem a little bit too hard to chew. I will talk with her MD and see what he thinks but i thought i'd try here as well...thanks!
Thank you for the responses! I think i may give the Omega3 supplement a try. If she lets me give it to her.
