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
Hi, I am also in California. My son is not yet school aged, but I was just hoping to offer some resources. Have you been in touch with Regional Centers? https://www.dds.ca.gov/rc/ That is where I… 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

Hi friends, can you share experiences of GFCF diet on your kids ? Does it improve speech?
That’s wonderful Information. Can you please suggest any website where I can get dosage information for 3yr old ASD kids esp for fish oil. and multivitamins. Thanks.
Do you notice that some days your child is "with you" mentally..and the other day they are off...it's like an every other day thing??
Yes good days and bad days. That what it is.
I often wonder what life will be like for my 2.5 yr old with Autism..i would love to hear from parents with older kids.did u find as they got older things got easier or harder for them??
@michele18- homeschool kids socialize too, it's just not as demanding to do, and there are escapes. It also allows your child to have 100% customized attention and curriculim.
Abilify really helped my son with this issue
It's been difficult to find other females on the spectrum. Peers and playdates for my 7 y.o. daughter are getting fewer and farther between, and while we (she is PDD-NOS, I am an Aspie) share many of HFA's more common characteristics, our social and physiological challenges manifest differently. Women and girls, what are your experiences? How do you cope and connect?
There needs to be a big change and/or movement in raising awareness and changing the scope of testing that is done on females because they present very differently than males and are often times… read more
My 7yr old daughter has pain due to a dental infection.
Her Dentist is prescribing Amoxicillin to help with the infection and Motrin or advil for the pain.
Is there any liquid natural alternative antibiotics recommended?
When ever possible I like to go the more natural holistic approach .
Thanks
If your child has an infection then an antibiotic medication to kill the bacteria is needed. Using natural/herbal/homeopathic remedies that make claims but have no scientific evidence will put your… read more
