What do you encourage for independent play. Be have drawing and puzzles down but can't seem to find anything else she'll take interest in. She's almost 3 and electronics are not an option at this time.
Musicial instruments is a thought. I'd love for her to learn to play something. :)
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

Children can't totally control their need to go until puberty I know it sounds far out but it's not really. I remember a kid in 4th grade had an accident in class kid terrorized him for it. I recall… read more
One of my twin granddaughters would not talk in complete sentences but now 7 years later...she talks and speaks about everything. Doctors used to say she would never talk....but boy were they wrong.
I dont know if this is a autistic thing or not. I know its a weird question and might just be specific to my kid. I just noticed today. He's almost 3.
So cute! I can totally relate to things having to be "even" 😊 I'm AuDHD with OCD and anxiety.
I’m asking because I have a long time friend, love her to death, but we were on the phone for a very long time when Aziel and his ASD became the next topic to talk about. She kept asking me, “what coping strategies do we have in place for when he can’t ‘stim’?” She kept on with using scenarios that do not apply to my kid. I was getting irritated but my deep breaths and trying to understand kept me from getting mad. However, she began stating that there will be a time where he won’t be able to… read more
I find the well-meaning incorrect advice and the judging of my parenting and the lack of understanding frustrating in my social circle as well. I just remind myself that they can't relate, because… read more
The other day I watched a movie called "Fly Away" directed by Janet Grillo and I ended up thinking about my daughter and wondering if she will ever trully know what love is or find love. I usually supress this feeling because there is no need to think about it right now but this movie really broiught it back for me. She is always so happy and I hope that one day she will be able to share that happiness with someone that cares and loves her in a different way then I do. Is it selfish of me to… read more

My son's grandfather passed away today. We have talked to him about death before, but he doesn't really grasp the concept. This is the first person in his life who has died. Does anyone have any suggestions about breaking the news to him?
I lost my favorite uncle/godfather when my son was four. He and my son were great friends. When he was told that "Uncle Fred" went up to heaven, he left it at that. When we visited his grave, my… read more
My son is on an ADHD med, Vyvanse. Does anyone have experience using mood stabilizing medication with their children along with Vyvanse or other ADHD meds? How about the addition of blood pressure medication that has been seen to stabilize moodiness caused by ADHD meds?
This is a really good question, I myself take ability for mood and it hasn’t been helping, plus it wakes me up at night a lot. My son is fixing to be 9 and his always had problems with irritability… read more
