Can anyone give me some pointers on the best way to cut Hayden's toenails? He absolutely refuses to have his toes touched. Fingers are ok, just not toes. :/
File them. It works for my boy. You can soak the nails in warm water first, if your child allows it.
I want so badly for my baby to join in on the festivities. I want her to believe in Santa, get excited to open presents, go trick or treating, do Easter egg hunts, etc. Those of you who have kids who participate in holidays, at what age did it start? I obviously know I can't make her as she's not neurotypical but I'm just looking for some hope cause I always envisioned being a mom that did all the fun stuff with her baby.
My son is 4 and has a lot of echolalia. This year he started reciting parts of his Christmas books that related to our holiday activities-making cookies, opening stocking, etc. So I think he's… read more

Does anyone have any suggestions on gifts for christmas for 8yr olds
i go on Amazon and types in autism toys and it got a lots of sensory toys and stuff that autism kids would love to have.
Christmas is rolling around so I'll be doing a toy clean out and I want to get my baby a few toys that could help her learn and not overstimulate her. The biggest problem is that she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. So if you have kiddos who also do this and you have safe toy recommendations, please let me know! Thank you!
if your little one likes blocks or likes to stack things. I've gotten my daughter the Mega blocks. They are easy to clean. LeapFrog have a pretty good line of Toys that are kid friendly.
Thanks. Waiting for her letter, should be by Tuesday or Wednesday. Last 3 weeks she had trouble in her Food and Nutrition class with 2 girls and a boy. Found out Friday. Waiting for guidance to give… read more
I’m asking because I have a long time friend, love her to death, but we were on the phone for a very long time when Aziel and his ASD became the next topic to talk about. She kept asking me, “what coping strategies do we have in place for when he can’t ‘stim’?” She kept on with using scenarios that do not apply to my kid. I was getting irritated but my deep breaths and trying to understand kept me from getting mad. However, she began stating that there will be a time where he won’t be able to… read more
I find the well-meaning incorrect advice and the judging of my parenting and the lack of understanding frustrating in my social circle as well. I just remind myself that they can't relate, because… read more
As embarrassing as it's becoming my son is always trying to play with his privates. It's so much we are having a hard time taking him anywhere without getting disgusted looks. Im sure it's a sensory issue. I've looked for abnormalities but there's nothing and his Dr doesn't have anything to say. He's only 8 so it seems a bit young to be going thru puberty. But I need some advice please.
I have checked the area it seems to be normal. He's my 2nd son out of the 3 boys I have. It's definitely a different experience for Davis. I usually gently remove his hands and tell him no hands in… read more
