We are in need of a loving person to spend time with our daughter on a regular basis (Mon - Fri) sometimes weekends. Pays $8 an hour. She's a sweetheart, but, I am sick. Thanks!
My son is also going on 24 yrs. and is high functioning. Does your daughter use the internet or know how to text? Maybe they can be pen pals and share interests. 😊
Not sure why that posted twice
I'm am looking to relocate to the Nashville "area." I'm probably going to end up in Dickson Co, but don't mind to drive into Nashville or Franklin for services. I'm looking for suggestions for medical care across the board. I'll need to set my son up with a new pediatrician, OT, SLP, and hopefully ABA. Any suggestions on where to get these services would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Oddly enough the school district by God had better get you some services. You need to know 504, IDEA,ADA,ADAA. GOOGLE GEBSER LETTER
Hello, Yes, unfortunately, most children on the spectrum have this disease. Have you tried essential oils? I have recently been able to wean my son off of a blood pressure medication, which was… read more

My 6 year old daughter was assessed by a psychiatrist as having characteristics at the age of 3.5. She was labeled as being developmentally delayed and labeled as pdd-nos. We took her to a developmental pediatrician who said that she was not on the spectrum, but sent her for an ados test. The ados test was administered and they said that she was PDD-NOS. The test was not administered in the best environment in that she sat in a car seat in traffic for 2 hours. The developmental pediatrician… read more
Yes, I would definitely fight to keep the eligibility through the school. In my experience having it will open the gate for services depending in the state you live in. Check your state's autism… read more
I'm trying to get more information on a neurodegenerative disease called Mitochondrial Dysfunction. What I've learned so far is that many cases of "mito" are initially diagnosed as ASD because the condition is associated with many of the same symptoms of ASD. In my case specifically, I have an 8-year old girl diagnosed with ASD in 2012 (she was initially diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome) and she has ADHD. Lately, she has been really sleepy. It's not constant though. It comes and goes… read more
My son is getting treated with Dr. Goh. She is an amazing neurologist who works with kids with mitochondrial dysfunction. She has created a cocktail for the dysfunction called Mitospectra. I found it… read more
my son has a moderate level of sensory sensitivity, has had toileting issues for some time, but now he is mostly 'trained' however the greatest challenge is getting him to wear underwear. any suggestions? also, he has a little brother who still needs pullups, so they are in the house for another year or so.
Have you taken him to let him pick any out a pattern and a material he likes? maybe he might like loose boxers instead of tight underwear. I know my son prefers loose underwear that are thin in… read more
I have been searching for resources to get help for my daughter for 3 months to no avail. She has Medicaid and apparently there is a shortage of providers. Can you provide any insight or guidance?
Hello, we've heard great things about the school districts in Irvine. My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with moderate ASD. She's been in a special day class in San Leandro, CA and has been in every type of service since she was initially diagnosed (private OT, ABA, Speech and music therapy). The school has offered the basics, and not even OT! After sending letters she will finally have an assessment. She is transitioning to Kinder. At this point we are willing to move wherever services are… read more
I cannot help you with good schools in Irvine. But I can tell you. California has a lot of fantastic laws that protect parents, especially when it comes to getting records And most importantly all the… read more
