I'm looking at getting my son a new pediatrician in the macomb county area that specialized with kiddos on the spectrum. My son current ped I love dont get me wrong but hes not been very helpful with tips/trick for helping me with my son, and won't give any medicine to help either with the hyperactiveness lack of sleep until hes evaluated. He wont be evaluated until sometime in nov give or take a few months.
I have tryed Melatonin, I have elminated naps unless hes sick, I put him to bed at 8 or 9pm. I do have a tv in our room, and normally turn it on with adult things like a cooking show or DIY show. I'm… read more
You can try k12.com if you haven’t already done so. I’m assuming you have used this site or something similar.

My 5 year old son has started to say vulgar language that I don't use.He likes to watch youtube and this where he's getting it from. How can I HV him stop in a way that he understands and not just fear the consequence of it being said.
Unfortunately we live in a computer age. Growing up, my mom would just take away his movies that had any language in it. That's where he would pick it up from.

When did you start noticing body odor with your son? When did you start having him use deodorant?
My son has said the same thing to me. Have you found any research?
Does anyone have any idea on how to stop an autistic child from stealing food? My daughter steals food (mostly sweets) it's not that I don't feed her or even allow her to have the items that she takes but she continues to take them without asking and hides to eat it. I've tried putting it where she shouldn't be able to get it but she finds a way. I dont by sweets often they are truly a treat but if I cant find away to stop the sneaking then we will become a treat free zone.
I have to put combo locks on the cabinets and lock up certain rooms like storage. It’s definitely an impulse issue. My daughter wants to stop but keeps relapsing. The worst part is that she lies about… read more
My 10 year old son with Aspergers is in a gifted class and tends to handle the extra work load OK. He makes friends easily but has a hard time keeping friends. He decided a year ago to join Cubscouts and we were thrilled figuring this would help him build his social skills. He has done very well. Now he has decided to join a football team and learn an instrument (violin) and continue on with his scouting. We have always encouraged our boys to be active and follow their dreams but I think he… read more
What is your worst case scenario if he does all these things? Are you afraid he'll be overwhelmed or that he'll quit or that his grades will suffer
