They are wanting to have our daughter tested for sleep disorders, just wondering how that will work with her sensory perception disorder.will she be able to tolerate the electrodes and such through the night so they can get accurate testing done. Any one have any suggestions?
I'm curious if the light therapy worked.
I'm trying to get more information on a neurodegenerative disease called Mitochondrial Dysfunction. What I've learned so far is that many cases of "mito" are initially diagnosed as ASD because the condition is associated with many of the same symptoms of ASD. In my case specifically, I have an 8-year old girl diagnosed with ASD in 2012 (she was initially diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome) and she has ADHD. Lately, she has been really sleepy. It's not constant though. It comes and goes… read more
My son is getting treated with Dr. Goh. She is an amazing neurologist who works with kids with mitochondrial dysfunction. She has created a cocktail for the dysfunction called Mitospectra. I found it… read more
I just found out a week ago that our family is moving to Charlotte, NC in June. My husband's job will be in Pineville. Any recommendations for good public schools for a 4th grader with PDD-NOS? From scanning message boards, Union County and Cabarrus County seem to be the best options. Anyone love a particular elementary school? Thanks in advance!
As far as the best schools, it really depends on the your child. I've since enrolled at UNCC in Special Ed and I have been in quite a few different schools now. I don't think any school is going to… read more
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.
You could look into Apples Air Tags. They are really just for gps, and don’t have video or audio capabilities, but you can hang or place them almost anywhere. If your child has a tendency to take off… read more
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.

This is the solution that has worked for my child. He is 10 years old. This has worked for him for about 3 years. Prior to that, he had other medications but they did not work or had side effects… read more
My son loves to eat and eats quite a few things, but he will regurgitate his food and seems to be eating it a second time ( so gross I know). I don't know why he does this or even how to stop it, any ideas would be great.
I have a little friend w autism that had to proble as well. The OT thought it was sensory and used the tooth brush. The behaviorist thought it was attention seeking and put a plan together w the… read more
How did you get him/her into school, private or public, and how is it going? I understand that there are no actual autism schools as there are in Florida, but I am trying to figure out how public school is system works in North Carolina. Separate classes, different teachers, etc.
Can anyone recommend a high school program in Orange County NY for a child who is high function austism. We are struggling terribly through the material for earth science and algebra. These courses and regents are required for a diploma. My son needs a unique way to learn this material.
Thank you!
I have homeschooled two autistic sons who both did very well with the Teaching Textbooks Algebra 1 and 2 curriculum. It is written in simple, non-convoluted language and teaches the topic well--my… read more
