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.

Do you notice that some days your child is "with you" mentally..and the other day they are off...it's like an every other day thing??

I often wonder what life will be like for my 2.5 yr old with Autism..i would love to hear from parents with older kids.did u find as they got older things got easier or harder for them??

How do you handle your toddler who has really delay receptive Language

Just in need of some of your thoughts on Clonidine? My 3yr old has started to have massive sleeping issues and melatonin has not been successful. I spoke with his Developmental Pediatrician and she suggests trying this medication. I have researched it as much as I can, but am very interested in hearing from others. has it been successful with your kiddos, worth a try or should I try a different method??? I get a little nervous with going the medication route? Thanks for the feedback

My daughter has ABA theraphy and nothing else yet. I want her to have speech, occupational and physical but not sure she would be able to handle all of that at once, plus I don't see how there is enough time to fit all of that in daily. I really need help with which is the most important for her young age. Please share your experiences or what has helped your child during toddler years. Thank you.

Hello everyone
We are at the very beginning of our journey... Since testing takes time, I wanted to be proactive and do as much as I can on my own and with help of our family and friends. How do I introduce them to the issue? How do I ask for appropriate help and support? What is the right thing to say and what is not? Is it ok to ask for monetary help (costs of therapy, dietary supplements, therapeutic accessories, etc) if yes, how to do so in a delicate manner
Thank you for all of your… read more

This question is for anyone who has a son or daughter (especially a teenager) who has been taking "Abilify". My 14 yr. old daughter has been taking Abilify for roughly 2 -3 years. At first, it really helped her. I really began noticing about a year ago that it didnt seem to be working anymore. This became even more obvious several months later after the doctor increased the dosage several times. What did your son or daughter take after discontinuing Abilify? Did it work, and for how long?

What drugs worked for you? We tried Ritalin for our 5 year old ASD/ADHD son and it had really weird affects that were scary. Any good experiences with meds to reduce agression and increase attention?

I'm so glad to have found this site! I have tons of questions but will start with one that's very concerning as of this past week-end. My daughter, Cammi, whose 11 yrs. old and has high-functioning autism/very low verbal functioning, was recently taken off of Risperdone (3 wks. ago) because of weight gain and underactivity. She was gaining weight steadily and had no interest in moving around any more. Before starting the Risperdone last year, she was very active - riding her bike, her… read more
