I've been trying to find a support group for parents of adult children on the autism spectrum for a long time. My son and I live in a small town, so resources are very limited.
There are several fb groups.
Trying to have all therapies that what the doctor suggested my daughter has severe autism. Speech , OT, ABA and she goes to school. Now I need PT ? I am so frustrated it is so hard to combine all of them together at the same time …
The therapy center my son goes to has all the therapies there for him. It is a ABA therapy center.
I work in early childhood education and while we can’t diagnose we can screen and refer. I did our screenings on my daughter and with the results consulted for a screening and have been placed on a wait list. Unfortunately in our area the wait list is almost 2 years long. I am struggling to get support from those around us as it’s hard for them to believe she would have autism. My parents especially, I know it’s contributing to outdated views. Any advice?
Unfortunately there is a waitlist everywhere around here. It’s something we struggle with in our job as we often have to refer for further screenings. I know she has autism, I just find it hard… read more
Does anyone recommend a certain multivitamin? I see a bunch of different vitamins that contains extra omega 3's, iron, etc. My daughter is a picky eater so i know she doesn't get all the nutrients she needs. She will only eat gummy vitamins. We have tried the flinstones kind but they seem a little bit too hard to chew. I will talk with her MD and see what he thinks but i thought i'd try here as well...thanks!
Thank you for the responses! I think i may give the Omega3 supplement a try. If she lets me give it to her.
I am enjoying art lessons at the moment and my son loves stickers
John is a bowler, but he likes ushering in our church. His phone is essential, because he cannot read!
He’s 5 yrs old, formally diagnosed last year, talks but not clearly and has just started school. He goes to sleep well then after a few hrs he’s wide awake, just walking around and chatting in his own way. They are so tired, I’m afraid it may affect their marriage and this little boy (& his elder sister) needs both his parents together. Any suggestions please, they’ve tried many things including melatonin but it doesn’t seem to keep him asleep for any reasonable amount of time. Both parents work… read more
does he take any naps? Does he eat at night ? food can create energy. Have you tried melatonin? or some Lavender spray, they have pillows on Amazon. We tried all of it right now we have her in… read more

I’ve heard that too much screen time causes autism. And that you can improve autism by spending more time with your child.
Screen time does NOT cause autism. Autism starts in the womb, caused by nothing other than the fact that we are all created to be who we are for a reason 😊 The world needs neurodiversity! Screen time… read more
