My youngest age 12 uses bathroom in shower. Yes, we adopted from foster care in 2017 after 2 years. We didn't say anything about it at the time bc we was already dealing with anger issues, now dealing with both so greatly he had to reside at group home. We found smears under dresser, pee in plants ( I potted mom and son with ) Pee on carpet when mad. wiped poop on his dad's speaker, bluetooth and stuck back in drawer ( unsure if purpose that one) , so close to him leaving and maybe mad.Any… read more
My son did some fecal smearing when he was younger. Rightly or wrongly I treated it as a gastric issue - I figured that sometimes he could feel that he needed to eliminate but perhaps he was finding… read more
Has anyone used the simple spectrum vitamin powder for their child. I was reading the reveiws but most reveiws were from parents who have a son diagnosed with autism. I know G needs some sort of vitamin and fiber just not sure whats best. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
I recently ordered this. Description didn't mention that the powder is bright orange. Turns any drink fluorescent and doesn't dissolve completely so it's hard to hide. Has a slight bitter taste but is… read more

so my son's allergist tried to prescribe xyzal, but medicaid denied it..so he said he would just prescribe allergra that medicaid would cover and works better than zyrtec...but I picked up the medicine today and it is Hydroxyzine...anyone have experiance with this? It is apparently an antihistmine used to treat anxiety....
Hydroxyzine definitely helped with my daughter's behavior.
It makes her calmer without being zonked. She appears more rested, calmer and more attentive.

I am trying to determine if it's a good organization for my son to receive group therapy and possibly PT and OT.
I have worked with Kristen Smith @ main campus, Anna Steffen and Heather Bailey are Great @ Anderson.
I am not completely sure about that therapy
Try to find ABA that is done at home. When your child is most comfortable. I can tell you that ABA has been a blessing to my son and our family. I highly recommend it.
In home ABA therapy specifically.
I highly recommend it, the sooner the better. My son started it when he was 3 almost, 4, but I wish I would have started sooner. It made a big difference for us as a family. He is 12 now, and… read more
Potty training ugh!
They aren't ready until they're ready. This is true for those without autism, too. But at least neurologically typical toddlers can be shamed into conforming. Autism by definition has no shame, or… read more
