I'm looking for a doctor that won't tell me my son's diagnosis is wrong, a doctor who will listen to everything I say and not just hear what they want. A dentist who won't sedate my son for everything that needs done on him.
We see Dr. Nhung Tran, Developmental Pediatrician, at Round Rock Specialty Clinic, about every 2-3 months. Has he been evaluated at the Autism Community Network? http://www.acn-sa.org/

Help my ex wont give my son his meds on the weekends or vacation time he has him. so my son goes days without it and comes home more upset and violent with his sisters and me. I have try to talk to his father about making sure that he gets it but got told that he can give it to himself which the doctor says no because of where he is on the spectrum. I have tired talking to DFCS where I live and got told they cant do anything because I have the child most of the time. What else can I do because… read more
It is a form of negligence called medical negligence, I believe, for a parent to not give meds. I’m shocked that DCFS won’t do anything! CPS? My ex is the same but my child is only on meds when she is… read more
Okay, I asked this question on another site. I have decided to actively seek work and try to go back to work and I sat down and really thought about this and I just keep thinking how awesome of an idea it was. So, hypothetically or realistically, if you had to go back to work, would you rather find a daycare provider or would you rather find a parent (mother or father. mother for me because its just my preference since I have a little girl) with a child with special needs to watch your child… read more
It depends on the age of the child. Initially, I had a family member. But as time progressed I felt my son needed to learn how to interact with others. Once in daycare facility he seemed to develop… read more
does anyone have any suggestions for daycare? My daughter not only is autistic but she has a developmental delay, she is blind, in pampers, and non verbal, I am having such a hard time finding daycare for her due to her disabilities, She doesn't require anything other than a diaper change, to be fed, and supervised just as you would any other child but due to her issues every single child care says they are not "qualified" to take care of her
You need a waiver if you can get one, talk to your county developmental disabiliaties office
He is more of an escape artist then anything. Always on the move am looking for a location I can send him for summer care. And 1 hour before school. Not sure how to get to work by 830 when his bus… read more
I'm going to need to work to pay for therapy for my children and I have no one to watch them or care for them while I work. If anyone has any ideas of where I can start my research, I'd appreciate it. (I live in Washington State but can, and probably will, relocate back to Utah.)
We advertised in the Special Ed Department of the local college, and got a good response from two SpEd teachers to be. By good response, I mean both actually came back to watch Luke and Kate a second… read more
My son has been diagnosed with autism for years. He has always gone to the same daycare and haven't been told about any issues with his behavior. Except last week we received a letter stating if your child does the following we have a 3 occurrence policy. 1-we will talk to you, 2-we will talk to you and ask u to take your child home to work on/fix their behavior and be excused from the center for a period of time, 3-we will ask you to leave the center. Well this week he had his issues (like he… read more

Routine, visual schedule (PECS). What motivated my son to transition to bedtime was the “clean up song”. Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere. Clean up, clean up, everybody do their share!” I used… read more
