Hey! I've not been on here for a very long time. Life gets crazy and you get wrapped up in it. I need some advice! My son is 11 and on the spectrum. He's going through hormonal changes and getting angry/frustrated quick. He's broken a laptop and tablet at school because of frustration and hit kids that were picking on him. He seems to not have any coping skills and just goes from zero to one hundred. After every incident he feels instant remorse, apologies and knows there will be consequences… read more
I feel your pain. Some episodes with my son were a nightmare
My son, who is now 20 (mentally about 15), went through the same issues with aggression. He would do something and then regret would… read more

I have heard that in 05/2013 they will be removing Aspergers and PDD-NOS from the DSM which basically then means that these children are no longer on the Autism Spectrum as they are too broad.
The diagnosis is not in the book but the way the new DSM-V is worded most current asd aspie pdd-nos rhetts etc children should remain on the spectrum. However you can self identify as such or keep… read more
Hi all
We moved to SW Virginia from the Northeast . In this area of the state, the public school educational system uses TEACCH as the basis of their curriculum with structured teaching to work with"the culture of autism".
We have been leery about this system and had stuck with ABA and DIR privately funded by us because in our son's prior preschool that has been working well as we went from non verbal limited interactions (graded moderate on the new proposed dsm scale) to verbal with attempts… read more
Have you figured out your problem? I am both a parent and a teacher to autism. I was against TEACCG until I attended the week long training. And though I think a pure TEACCH approach is lacking… read more
My wife wants have Nerotherapy sessions for my son who is 7 to help him with communication behavior ect. It is not covered by insurance. I think medication would be better. Has anyone used Nerotherapy before and if so how was your experience with it? Thank You
Don’t do it if you child has any signs of disassociation
My son just started something my wife is bringing him to for neurology for brain improvement. It's a six week therapy that is supposed to improve communication, behavior ect. If it does not work we will put him on medication to calm him down. Has anyone ever heard of this or used this treatment for autism? Thanks all for answering my question and your time. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa...
I have not heard of this but please let us know how the results go !
It would be easier to explain it to the child’s parent & then hopefully she or he could teach their child about your son & his specific ways of play. Most toddlers aren’t receptive to adult… read more
So, I saw this add for a program for our kids that claims 100% positive results. Apparently, it is tailored to each individual child to take specific steps to improve their behavior, diets, social skills, etc. without the use of ABA. I had a one on one call with the founder last week and she claims to have a daughter on the spectrum that has learned to thrive through her program and her website touts other testimonials of people who have seen social, emotional, and verbal improvements in their… read more
I'm coming back to this after having seen the positive reviews left by certain users, and also the comments from someone claiming to be Cindy. As an autist myself, I have questions:
Why do none of… read more
My son is very curious about sex, and I'd like to know how his dad and I should approach this. Any suggestions?

Has anyone with younger children tried this for their child, if so did you use whipworm or hookworm?
Agreed but a more permanent solution that actually resides in the gut would be helpful - for example, the bacteria B. Fragilis which is part of the human microbiome improved symptoms of ASD in one rat… read more
