What's The Best Therapy For Language Struggles?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 7-year-old still struggles with his language skills. He knows what he wants to say, but can't find the words or mixes up the words. What's a successful form of therapy to help him with this? I've heard OT, or neuro type therapies tend to help "wake up" that part of the brain. He gets a little private OT, but I'm thinking it's not enough. Any advice would be helpful.

I would try to get an IEP in his school and work on the speech with a language pathologist. All schools have them. This would be free for you and a great place to start. His IEP would have him… read more

I agree with not medicating a child if you do not have to, and I also believe that you can also medicate without making the child a zombie as well. I do not really trust homeopathic therapies in not… read more

Has Anyone Trid Neurofeedback?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I just read about it yesterday. My son is 8, high functioning maybe Aspergers, he makes good eye contact with me but not so much with other people. He plays well with other children most of the time, has some anxiety and some attention problems but nothing that we feel needs medicating.

So I am just wondering if anyone has had good, bad or neutral results from this. I am loathe to spend a lot of money on false hope cure stuff, but if it is a genuine treatment option I would do anything to… read more

Medications
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

We have had a very hard summer. My son is 9 years old , non verbal, low functioning, very irritable and aggressive all the time and has been on respirdol for quite a few years and he has had to have it increase it a lot because after a few months it doesn't help him anymore. He's tried a lot of other different meds and for some reason it made him more angry and aggressive then helping him with it. I don't know what to do anymore. Nothing seems to help. We have tried clonodine and Intuniv… read more

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son was recently prescribed Celaxa 10mg to help with anxiety issues. He's only 10 years old. He is currently on Focalin XR 10mg for ADHD. I have to admit that I'm not crazy about all these drugs, especially when you read about all the possible side effects. Advice, please!!!
