What Do I Do About My 4 Year Old Son Who Likes To Destroy Things? It’s Not Out Of Anger Most Times, I Just Can’t Get Him To Stop.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son loves to take things apart, or break things (that most of the time can’t be fixed). I know he doesn’t do it out of anger 9 times out of 10, but I just don’t know what’s going on in his head.

A MyAutismTeam Member

Trust me, I really am very encouraging and loving with him. If it looks in any way like it can be taken apart, he will. I agree it’s most likely a sensory thing, I just wish I could get him to… read more

How Do You Coop With Aspesgers And Autism?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter has been dignosed with aspesgers and autism. Shes about to be 6. And my 4 year old has some of the same symtoms but shes worse when it comes to melt downs.

How To Stop Hitting?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi everyone. My son has ASD and is turning 3 in a few days. He is also non verbal. He has been in an early intervention preschool for 6 months. For whatever reason, after never having done this before, he is scratching other classmates.

I have watched him do it to see if there was a trigger but I can’t figure it out. It’s almost like he knows he can do it. I have realized he is noticing peers for the first time and looks like he is reaching out to them but then quickly grabs them to scratch.

I am the mom of an 8 yr old boy with PPD-NOS and ADHD. We homeschool and are looking for homeschooling groups that focus on special needs children and have social gatherings or group activities. Any groups in North Texas who do this? We live in Anna, TX (north of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex)

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>

I let Stephen tear up old magazines.
There's always a 'event' that leads up to this, and lately it's been going to His mom's.
Figure out the Why/Trigger.

I'm Looking To Hear From Parents With Young Adult Autistic Sons Or Daughters Living In An Assisted Living Facilities With Daily Activities.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have an Autistic son who turned 18 in 12/22. He is finishing his schooling years in June of 2023 with services offered until 2026. The post secondary program does not warrant much help for those on the spectrum. Many end up going back to the high school environment where there is an autsim program. We are looking to move out of state (from Maryland to the west coast of Florida). My son, I firmly believe, would benefit greatly by living in an environment in an assisted facility with daily… read more
