My son has bit my belly before with my other son Amearè and I Try stopping him and say no bitting my pregnant belly. His father would be the on stop him and told him not to do it.

It's had four times this mother. What can I do to stop him?

We just found out we are finally pregnant with our second baby after trying for years...our son Milo is three and recently diagnosed with a very mild form of autism. I don't know what to expect with an autistic child as far as explaining to him what's going on, how he will act with a baby, what it will be like if the new baby is not autistic and develops faster in some areas than him...I would love advice on ways to prepare Milo for a baby and ways to help him adjust when the baby arrives...

Has anyone on this site dealt with challenging behaviour successfully?

My son wants to throw things away. I have no idea why he wants to do this. But he wants to throw things away so badly that he actually will rip up items so he "justify" throwing them away. He throws away books, clothes, food, etc. It happens every day, throughout the day, and multiple times per day.

He's 18 so I can't physically stop him. I am able to delay him. He also gets sneaky about it to the extent of getting up during the night to throw things away.

Ideas anyone?

Has anyone used the weighted lap pad with their children?? Does it keep them seated &calmer ??

I know they says it's safe, but here I am thinking back on life and wondering about that shot. I had a swine flu shot at 6 weeks pregnant. My son was born with cortical dysplasia affecting his entire brain. He just had the left temporal lobe of his brain removed because of seizures. He is nonverbal with autistic feature. I have two other boys, and neither have issues. I didn't do anything different in my pregnancies other than that shot. I know it's awful to look back, but I just can't stop… read more
