Great I sent a test email
how double standard is the fact that a.b.a providers cant be seen in public doing there therapy , why not its considered child abuse? wth is wrong here?
That does sound like it is specific to your provider. We also have community outings. Our ABA therapist spends as much time out of the office for visits than in the office.
We have recently started to have an issue with our 3 year old wandering. Our house is locked down like an army camp (indoor and outdoor cameras, locks, alarms, etc. He seems to be drawn to water and other very dangerous situations. We moved about one month ago to our new home and last week he escaped around 7pm (after placing his shoes by the door which I believe was strategic), and made it about a block away. He will be 4 in April.
We had to secure windows in the upstairs of our home out of… read more
@A MyAutismTeam Member: I felt like I had to keep an eye on my brother constantly. I eventually got used to not being able to have eye contact with people because I would usually have to talk and keep… read more
My son has done this for a long time. He's happy, in a good mood, smiling and then all of a sudden he throws himself back and starts screaming and gets upset. I'm so confused to wether he's hurting or just angry about something that I can't tell or understand. My husband says the same thing about it too. I'm just wondering if any other parents witness this with their children. Usually when this is happening I'll ask my son do you have ouchie? What's wrong? When I say anything to him at the… read more

I was looking into CBD oil for my son who is 7 years old . He has a lot of hyperactivity and has trouble sitting still and focusing . I am just not sure if it’s okay for me to give him CBD oil or do I need his doctors approval ??
We did it (screw the consequences ) I wasn't sure it helped, my husband swore it helped greatly. There's a company in Colorado that makes Charoletts Web. We read this was the best type ,bought it… read more

My 2 year old son has not been officially dx but based on our Early Intervention SLP and OT feedback we are sure he will be. He is an only child and has zero interaction with other children. Does anyone know of playgroups in the Kansas City area for children with ASD?
Playgroups is the important clue here. You really want just one or two "normal" children to play with. Large groups can be intimidating. Large groups with ASD may not really help. I believe the… read more
My son loves stickers and bus rides but better is train journey
He likes watching Youtube videos, listening to music, making animation using Stick Node, dancing, ice skating, swimming, eating, and being tickled. Lol.
I have a gentleman friend who I've been dating for a while. I have not introduced him to my children because I wanted to make sure he has the potential to stick in this relationship for the long haul.My oldest has moved out, so it's a matter of the younger boys. My NT 9 y/o is all for it, but I am having a hard time figuring out what would be the least stressful way to introduce him to my DS. He is still stuck on me getting back together with his father, even though we have been apart for 3… read more
