My 4yr old son internalized his feelings. He stops talking, making eye contact, and loses control. It builds up in him for weeks until he explodes on little requests like brushing his teeth or eating dinner. He'll go to his room rip apart his bed, throw his books and toys everywhere, turn off his light and sit in a corner breathing fast. If we try to stop him or talk to him, he squeals and thrashes. I have talked to his therapist and doctors. I don't know what to do. How do you get a 4 yr old to… read more
Thank you so much for all your help. God bless you too. I have seen a face chart. That sounds like a good idea to try. I will observe him more closely and figure out what's going on. Thank you again.

I googled infographics and sadly some of them actually had things like "often people with autism are gifted in music and art " and other such stereotypes
What would YOU like people who aren't on the ASD tip to know to help them interact with, understand people on the spectrum?

I would like people to know that individuals on the spectrum need to be looked after and protected. A message to people is that they can step up to help at anytime. I am glad to hear that… read more

Hello this is NOT a question about my child/ren.
I am just curious if there is anyone out there who's nonverbal child signs fluently? Meaning they have many many words (including attributes/adjectives, adverbs) and signs in complete sentences?
My question is not if sign language is taught or what else is there...just curious to see if there is even a single non-verbal person with autism who was taught sign as an communication method who… read more
