My 5 year old used to often put his hands in his mouth, mostly in new situations or when he was asked to do something challenging I think. But about 2 months ago, he started doing it all the time, regardless of the situation. His classmates don't want to be around him. His teacher is always telling him to wash his hands or put hand sanitizer on them. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I’m just now experiencing this with my 2 year old. He has Autism too and don’t know what to do.
@A MyAutismTeam Member, It may be a reaction to the soap you use for doing your laundry, or even over-sensitive feet (like My Son experiences)

She seems to do it out of necessity not for pleasure.
So far the kids kitchen play set is working for a good part of the day. She seems to be walking fine from what I can tell. I did notice that one of her shoes is getting worn on a certain spot but not… read more
I'm looking for the best southern state with the best resources. We're trying not to move back to Ohio, but we're not receiving much help where we're at.
Not southern but I saw one individual say they were considering moving north. I can say that having my child involved with MMCC (Margaret Murphys Center for Children) has been awesome in Maine. We… read more

We are planning to move from Canada to San Diego. My boys are in the spectrum, one in low functioning autism spectrum with good interest in art and music and the other in mild spectrum range with tantrums.
I am seeking suggestion on which school district is better for kids in low function spectrum. Advice on advocating for getting them into school program that would help them. How does transportation work for kids in spectrum. Thanks in advance..
If you're working with a realtor, ask them. Even though I didn't end up purchasing a home, I learned a lot from a realtor that was in a city I thought of moving too.
Good afternoon! My family is moving to Greater Houston, more precisely to the Tomball / Cy-Fair / Klein area. I have a 9 year-old boy who's severely autistic. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
Thanks a lot! I wish I could bring them to Houston before moving. Logistics don't allow. But I appreciate your comments and good wishes.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my autistic two year old to stop moving and climbing on his dresser? He also pulls the plugs from the wall in his room, I put a plug cover on that’s supposed to be child proof, but it was not Haiden proof, so I took all plugs out of his room but I was hoping someone could give me ideas, because I can’t take plugs out of the whole house.
They have these outlet covers that cover the entire cord, I think they go by "Dream baby" on Amazon. I can't even get those suckers off
Not sure about the climbing, but make sure your dressers/TV… read more
