My son starting his SIB's after his father was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. They were very close and Greg did not miss a day with Logan. Some how Logan new and began hitting himself, pinching everywhere on his body and neck. Head butting this and hitting walls.

All we have tried has not helped, more… read more

My daughter is about to turn 7 (she was diagnosed when she was 2 with moderate autism) and is becoming more aggressive when she doesn't get her way or is told "no" and she's recently started to cause self injury, I'm not really wanting to have to put her on medication for this but I have been reading about "Risperdal" what are your thoughts on this and has anyone used this to help their child with autism to help with their aggression, self injury or temper tantrums?
Wow! That's quite a wait. Thanks so much for giving an overview of the admission process and the tip about where to live. It's a tough decision to consider but I know that you've been in my spot.

I am a psychologist in Santiago, Chile. The family has been given this resource to address extreme tantrums and frustration tolerance issues. The center seems very expensive.

My grandson is getting in trouble at school because he’s pushing or biting other kids. We’ve had many conversations, but he always gets easily frustrated and reacts this way. How do we help him?

My son((16 months) has been acting out worse and worse. He used to just screech and shriek every so often throughout the day and now it is constant. Yesterday, he was just playing in his room and all of a sudden he let out this blood curdling shriek for no reason. It made us all jump. Then he KEPT dong it. Mind you, he doesn't talk. Then this past week his behavior has just gotten out of hand. He was sitting in the Buggy at the store and he just started shaking his head back and forth really… read more
