Angel Sense
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

Keeping Clothes On. Does Anyone Else Have The Same Problem?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 7 years old daughter takes off her clothes as soon as she gets home and only keeps her underwear on. It used to be a struggle to get her dressed for school or to go out, she finally understood that she cannot go out without clothes. It's a big frustation for all of us, but specially for her teenage brother because he doesn't want any of his friends to come to our house. And I don't blame him, it was cute and funny when she was 2 or 3 yrs old but know that she is 7 and he is a teenager is… read more

How Do I Keep My Autistic Daughter From Taking Off Her Pull Up?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter is 8 going on 9yrs and she is the baby of 4 kids and trust me enjoys that fact lol. She has a big brother, my only son, who is also autistic and it's hard when 3 kids use the toilet fine and my youngest is content "going" NEXT to the toilet right in the bathroom. It's upsetting and I already suffer from C-PTSD, Anxiety and ADHD. I take my meds but when she does this, sometimes I just wanna cry. Me and my oldest daughter who will be 18 in just a few months work together to try our… read more

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>

When my son was younger he hated to have clothes on. We had to work with him to keep at least pants on in the house. My son is 15 years old and even to this day he will only pants when we are inside.

Does Anyone Have Tips Or Tricks On Keeping Clothes (and Diaper) On Your Preschooler?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

This is becoming problematic over here because he will strip the moment my back is turned or attention diverted. It's not necessarily a clothing texture thing. He doesnt have an issue wearing clothes to go out of the house and doesnt show a strong aversion to anything except a senory vest. He just simply prefers to be butt naked at home and has no concept of why wearing clothing is necessary, which is a problem when he's not potty trained. Also, getting into the colder months the house runs a… read more

Looking For Onesies.. Size 3T Or Bigger (or Suggestions)
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son is 3 and its very difficult to make him keep his hands out of his pants. If it is in the privacy of our own home it wouldn't be so bad if he was just digging around in there.. but he tends to pull his peeper out the side of his diaper and if he pees its a disaster. Not to mention if he poops.... I am having a heck of a time finding onesies in his size. We have tried overalls but he still wrangles his way in. Anyone dealt with this before? Thanks in advance!

A MyAutismTeam Member

Thank you all. I keep him in footie pajamas at home but at school I can't... I found some onesie extenders on amazon that I may try. :)
