Time To Get Out Of The Pool.....
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 13 year old son is nonverbal and loves going to the pool. However he doesn't like to leave the pool when it's time. That ends in a meltdown or us staying until he is ready to go. Does anyone have any tips on getting a kid out of the pool and ending the activity of swimming after a couple or three hours without getting a big meltdown reaction?

Where Can You Buy Toys Or Gagets That Satisfy The Urge To Tear Up Socks By Pulling All The Strings Out? Also, Where Do Autistic Teens Hang
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My grandson puts himself to sleep by pulling on a sock with his mouth to start to untangle it until all of the threds are pulled out. What can I do to change this behavior.

Also, my 13-year-old grandson is home schooled and has no friends other than family and his puppy. Is there any kind of social activities he and others can attend? Are there any churches who may have Youth Meetings where kids can meet and greet, maybe dance and sing or play card and board games>
