When my daughter was going into grade one, the first four months were spent weaning her from therapy and it was a challenge to go from centre to school.
That be being said, it was 8 years ago and… read more
Hi there all, we're looking to highlight the experiences of people on the autistic spectrum struggling with public bathrooms. i.e. the sensory overload from air dryers and automatic flushes. We think this is a really important issue that is not in the public conversation so please get in touch if you want to share an experience around this.
The hand dryers are bad but predictable. The auto flush toilet nearly derailed potty training for two of my kids. We had to go back to pullups while on vacation at a popular theme park because of… read more
Do you have any suggestions for a good southside of Chicago public school for students with autism. My grand sons are 5 years old and will be starting kindgergarten this year. I just wanted them to get into a school in which they will be able to receive the therapies that they need as well as a good education.
Thank you in advance
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.

This song really helped my son.
How did you get him/her into school, private or public, and how is it going? I understand that there are no actual autism schools as there are in Florida, but I am trying to figure out how public school is system works in North Carolina. Separate classes, different teachers, etc.
Hey guys, my Evelyn is outgrowing her Goodnites size XL. We have tried depends but they don’t hold as much urine at night. What are some recommendations of diapers that you guys have tried that work for your kids? She’s about 130lb and we still haven’t mastered potty training so in the meantime we have to use pull ups. Thanks!
My daughter is 115lbs and is still wearing the XL goodnites from time to time. (Usually only for her period at night)
Have you tried the Costco Kirkland adult incontinence underwear?
I don’t really… read more
Grandson is 4recently diagnosed with autis. He will be starting kindergarten in Sept. He is supposed to be attending a charter school not sure if that's best. The other option is public school
If that Charter school can provide things like speech/ occupational therapy/ Physical therapy theses are the services that children on the Autism Spectrum need. Best of luck😊
When my daughter was about 6 she used to continuously take her pants off which is a similar situation. I agree with what Alyssa439 suggested. Such a great and positive approach.😊
However, when we… read more
