I'm looking at getting my son a new pediatrician in the macomb county area that specialized with kiddos on the spectrum. My son current ped I love dont get me wrong but hes not been very helpful with tips/trick for helping me with my son, and won't give any medicine to help either with the hyperactiveness lack of sleep until hes evaluated. He wont be evaluated until sometime in nov give or take a few months.
I have tryed Melatonin, I have elminated naps unless hes sick, I put him to bed at 8 or 9pm. I do have a tv in our room, and normally turn it on with adult things like a cooking show or DIY show. I'm… read more
You can try k12.com if you haven’t already done so. I’m assuming you have used this site or something similar.
We just moved to Rockwall , Texas and out looking for a good pediatric psychiatrist for our son who is autistic with ADHD and OCD , does anyone have any recommendations for a Dr in the Dallas area ?
I wish I could give you an answer. I am in Forney. Very close to Rockwall. I am new to the autism spectrum issue. My daughter was only recently diagnosed. She had been diagnosed as developmental… read more
My 5 year old son has started to say vulgar language that I don't use.He likes to watch youtube and this where he's getting it from. How can I HV him stop in a way that he understands and not just fear the consequence of it being said.
Unfortunately we live in a computer age. Growing up, my mom would just take away his movies that had any language in it. That's where he would pick it up from.
We have been doing ABA at home now for almost a year & I sometimes wonder is it helping or is it not ??

When did you start noticing body odor with your son? When did you start having him use deodorant?
My son has said the same thing to me. Have you found any research?
Does anyone have any idea on how to stop an autistic child from stealing food? My daughter steals food (mostly sweets) it's not that I don't feed her or even allow her to have the items that she takes but she continues to take them without asking and hides to eat it. I've tried putting it where she shouldn't be able to get it but she finds a way. I dont by sweets often they are truly a treat but if I cant find away to stop the sneaking then we will become a treat free zone.
I have to put combo locks on the cabinets and lock up certain rooms like storage. It’s definitely an impulse issue. My daughter wants to stop but keeps relapsing. The worst part is that she lies about… read more
My son age 3 whom is on the spectrum , is getting in the mirror and pulling his pull up to look at his private area. He climbs in the bathroom sink when he can or tries to get in my daughters room because she has a mirror that stands to do this. Has anyone encountered this behavior and what can I do to help?
Glad to hear it!
My son was playing with a neurotypical child and felt the need to say "I have autism." The other child said "No you don't." I am happy that my son is accepted by this child but saddened that there is this "stereotype" of autism. Each and every child is gifted, not handicapped. I explained to my HF ASD son that some kids don't understand that it is a very broad spectrum. I also explained that he could tell this boy that kids with autism are smart but their brains are just wired differently… read more
That other child probably doesn't really know what autism is. I would take that exchange with a grain of salt. Just like if your son said "I have a unicorn" and the other child said "No you don't"
