Parenting Friends Of Neurotypical Kiddos Not Understand Neurodivergent Kiddos
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a group of friends who have been such great mom friends. But ever since Johns Diagnosis they seem to not be as helpful. They don’t quite understand the demands of therapy and ABA and the schedule juggling. They try to help but often I find them more annoying then helpful. They even try to talk to me about their Neurotypical kiddos problems at school and I try to help but also find myself getting annoyed at there problems as well. Does anyone else feel this way.

Thank you this makes me feel less alone that I feel this way. My friends are great moms but I sometimes wish their biggest struggles are only half of what I have to deal with on a day to day.

Has Anyone Checked Out Elizabeth Strickland’s Book Called Eating For Autism?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve had some mild success with taking my lovely boy off of dairy. His BMs have improved greatly and I’ve noticed some change in his behaviour.

Has anyone found any particular book or method helpful? I saw this one and might pick it up. I’d prefer something i can keep in the kitchen with me instead of a digital version.

Thanks everyone!!
