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.

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.

We are considering a move to the Raleigh, NC area this summer. My 4 1/2 year old son was diagnosed with ASD (high function) this past December. We are currently in a really good school district in NJ and are feeling nervous about being able to find a comparable school. He currently has an IEP. Would love feedback, recommendation for schools in the Raleigh, NC.
It is assigned once you are living there! I am glad to have helped some. I like to look at all the options 😌.
My four-year-old with autistic disorder screams unctontrollably when she's angry or aggravated. I have been trying for years to teach her that I can help her if she TELLS me what's wrong, but that I can't understand her when she's screaming.

BTW, she is verbal and can speak in sentences (lots of echolalia, though.) I know she CAN tell me what's wrong… read more
