There are some grants out there. This is one that I know of http://www.uhccf.org/ but I have heard that there are others.
I think i would try to talk to my 15yo in language that makes sense to her about the importance of the role of a big sister - to show kindness, helpfulness, to boost a little sister up so she feels… read more
Is there anything besides medication that helps your child with noises they don't like? My son is 6 and hates when I cough or the dog barks ect. He yells when he heres it. Thanks all in advance for your time and input.
I know my son has used noise cancelling headphones for unpleasant noises. My neurotypical daughter has a harder time with noises than he does and she just covers her ears with her hands.
I found this… read more
Hi everyone
This is is my first time posting.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Has anyone ever dealt with uncontrollable laughter.
I have recently been struggling to get my son to stop this behavior.
He Only calms down when is on clonidine. When the medication wears off he can go on and on.
Does anyone know of any natural medication, or supplements that can help keep him calm when is not on clonidine.?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

What are some ideas, information, and other guides to… read more
I’m really out of options I feel
Moms, I want to ask how you take care of yourselves. I start to feel down again. I was diagnosed of depression years ago. Now winter, my worst season is coming. I have the feeling that it is going to be hard. I do not have family here. We moved here a few months ago. Feel lonely and disconnected. I feel harder and harder to make friends in real life. I have lots of anxieties. I saw a psychologist a few months ago, but did not help much. I feel so tired recently. Tired of myself. :(
Oh I hear you! My husband and I moved three thousand miles away from my family and it is very isolating here. I feel depressed and weepy at times. I found reading Gabby Bernstein's books (The… read more
Im a cargiver for an 26 year old man with autism. He has self harming behaviors. Mostly to get what he wants..how do you stay firm when the guy is bashing his head biting himself screaming. How do you watch that behavior. And not give them there way when there is no way of redirecting. He also grabs and pinches.
He is struggling, stressed and upset over communication. I also think by 26 you have earned what you want...just saying:) lol and self harm is always a concern. You should have been completely… read more
