After the first minute or two she is fine, but mama leaving Is so traumatic for her. I’ve tried everything, schedule cards, social stories, quickly leaving, and slowly leaving. Any advice?
She tends to do okay once she’s asleep. Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night but she’s alert. She woke up today at 5am after sleeping since 9:30 last night. She was crying and throwing herself on her bed. It was like when she had a meltdown. I don’t believe she was in pain. She kept giving me the tv remote but she wasn’t happy with anything I put on the tv. Water always calms her down so we got her in the shower and after 20 minutes of playing with bubbles she calmed down and got… read more
My son has had bouts of something like nightmares and I let him climb into my bed, talk to him and tell him he can let me know what is scaring him, and that I will keep him safe, etc. It is scary. We… read more

Has anyone ever heard of Angel Sense? If u have have u tried it? My son will be starting classes in September with BCIU/early intervention and im worried how he will do and how teachers will treat him. It has a tracker if ur kid goes missing and u can even listen in on conversation wherever they are. It snaps to clothing or backpack. Wanted to know if its worth getting for the price and is it really reliable. Its rated 5 star's. Let me know what u guys think.
You could look into Apples Air Tags. They are really just for gps, and don’t have video or audio capabilities, but you can hang or place them almost anywhere. If your child has a tendency to take off… read more
He’s 5 yrs old, formally diagnosed last year, talks but not clearly and has just started school. He goes to sleep well then after a few hrs he’s wide awake, just walking around and chatting in his own way. They are so tired, I’m afraid it may affect their marriage and this little boy (& his elder sister) needs both his parents together. Any suggestions please, they’ve tried many things including melatonin but it doesn’t seem to keep him asleep for any reasonable amount of time. Both parents work… read more
does he take any naps? Does he eat at night ? food can create energy. Have you tried melatonin? or some Lavender spray, they have pillows on Amazon. We tried all of it right now we have her in… read more
I've been trying to find a support group for parents of adult children on the autism spectrum for a long time. My son and I live in a small town, so resources are very limited.
There are several fb groups.
Taking into consideration that my daughter is 3 years old what strategies do you use to calm your child from a meltdown when the reason is unknown or a trigger has been set off & they need help calming down???? Breathing exercises or counting to 10 don’t work for her as she is 3 & nonverbal w/ ASD level3.
A child proof space with some favorite ideas where, maybe a big bag chair, soft mat or couch cushions. Sometimes a walk or swinging. Occasionally a favorite video or song. Space and time. Sometimes… read more
Does anyone deal with on going issues of allergies? Not food allergies but flare ups of severe hay fever? It's been documented that allergies and autism are linked but I need solutions. Anyone?
Allergy shots are a possible option but I'm not convinced that his allergies are from pollens and dust mites. I almost feel like its from bacteria and mold spores in the air because when the humidity… read more
