overwhelmed and over it
Ask him what he needs. My son loves to mess up my room, not necessarily breaking stuff, but taking things apart. A parent coach suggested that I ask him that question, and his answer was that he… read more
So I'm taking Levi to have his blood drawn tomorrow for genetic testing, and I'm dreading it. Any tips? I don't want to traumatize him having to hold him down :(
He had the genetic testing testing as well he was negative and he was also tested for OCD that's tested by blood which was negative
I was a shy kid growing up, but now I'm starting to pay attention to my speech and noticing idiosyncratic speech, and it really bothers me.
Most things can be improved. Have you seen specialist
I playfully hope there are programs that will support our children with autism as adults? With autism on the rise so much this should be a top priority. Will there ever be a cure for autism? Like me all of you want your children to adapt to life as much as possible when they are older. Especially for people who have a only child like we do. Thanks all in advance for reading my comment.
I was really lucky to be able to talk and do several miniate things but was not good at somethings there again wife is a big help.
Any apps or suggestions to improve fine motor movements
Dexteria Jr.-Fine Motor Skills Development App. Our OT adviced us it's really helpful.
My daughter is having trouble keeping up in class and is behind in reading. She gets help from the teacher but still isn’t completing her work in the classroom. She is reluctant to do homework. She says that she can’t read. She’s reading with help the books that she’s familiar with, and I think that she’s memorizing the words. She has trouble reading her sight words and sounding out words as she goes also

PS he was the best baby ever though.
My daughter has been diagnosed with autism but has a quality that has never been addressed. She has one eye that tends to wander at various times. Is this common with autistic kids or is it something else? She seems to be able to bring it back and focus if you get her attention but it is there. Just wondering....
Yes, my son Roman experienced this and we took him to an eye doctor that focuses on Behavioral Vision Therapy. They were able to give him a very in depth vision exam that determined that his eyes were… read more
My son has been watching cartoon on his I-pad. Whenever he has the I-pad he prefer other language like Spanish, French, Mandarin etc. Is this normal? I am just curious how he understands?
My 6 yo is fixated on the Russian alphabet and the chart of animals who's names begin with each letter. He wants me to write the letters too, so I have been learning them. My mother thinks this will… read more
My daughter has been exhibiting what appears to be a new stimming behavior. It all started a few months ago during a vacation to the beach in Florida, my daughter started to open her eyes extremely wide every few moments for no apparent reason. This continued for several weeks and persists now during school and when she gets home. She also will tug at her bottom eye lids, causing some slight bruising as she does it frequently. She recently received a full eye exam--her first, which she did GREAT… read more
My daughter started doing this just this week- exactly as you describe- I noticed it after coming from the splash pad park being in the hot bright son- like she was having a hard time adjusting her… read more
