A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

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 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

Confused On The Education For My Autistic Son, Integrated Homeschool For Special Needs Or Normal School Education

My son won't use is Ipad, because he cannot watch TV, or exit the screen and choose what he wants to watch he as no interest on the Ipad.

Also if you guys can recommend any cheap/free apps that are great for receptive/expressive language along with any games that would be appreciated

Need Suggestions For Reward/Consequences System For 15 Yr Old Son W/ Aspergers.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Finding an effective reward system for Jack has been tough over the years, what motivates him one day ~ does nothing for him the next day. Sometimes the motivator can change from the morning to the evening. Really REALLY tough to keep up. I am now keeping full-size KitKat bars on hand to reward him with. The school is also giving him a KitKat when he attends school every day of the week. This is NOT building a healthy relationship with food. He is not overweight at the moment, but if I… read more

He was diagnosed in the 6th grade and assessed twice since then. Has gone to therapy, but says he will never go once he turns 18, Has become angry with me as he has grown older, often verbally abusive. Believes it is my fault he received his ASD diagnosis.
