Serenity
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Where does your serenity come from? Serenity for me comes when you trade expectations for acceptance. When you look at your journey and realize how much fulfillment you get from your loved ones and children that makes life worth grasping on and truly living.

How To Stop My 6yr Son From Grabbing His Genitals When Happy?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 6yr old son when he gets excited/happy. He gets really happy by yelling and grabbing his genitals. I had him checked by the pediatrician and nothing is wrong. I was told this is his way of expression and it will soon fade. Now almost 8 months later it still happens. At home we will tell him "where do your hands go" right away he places his hands to his sides. Temporary only...and all over again he does it. It is difficult when in public people don't understand why? Dirty minds....and the… read more

I googled infographics and sadly some of them actually had things like "often people with autism are gifted in music and art " and other such stereotypes

My Grandson Is Being Home Schooled Currently Because The Public School Couldn’t Accommodate His Needs
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

We are currently home schooling my 14 year old grandson because 9th grade in the public school was very unacceptable to him - the school - too many people - Chromebook’s - he was regressing and that was not acceptable to us. So homeschooling has been good so far but what we are finding out is that we think his aides were doing the work for him. We started homeschooling with pre algebra and found he couldn’t do it, (even though he got the 8th math award for the highest average). We are now… read more
