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.

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.

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.

Is there anyone with an adult aged son or daughter living with them receiving Social Security that can provide some feedback on how that is going? Has anyone had to call their local branch for changes in employment, address, change of representatives for the individual, etc... Thanks in advance for any responses.
My point...I want to know THE OPINIONS of how other states do things from THOSE WHO RECEIVE THE BENEFITS. Plus....why would I ask a social security employee how their benefits impact the recipients… read more
Did last one a month before she got her first check.
I did one before he got approved.
Couple people have asked me if I have been claiming social security or if I have been filling him as a disable OR as a special need in tax returns? and my answer is "NO" my question is how do I do it? since he can't qualify for Medicare how can he qualify for social security? any suggestions/ ideas.
Thank you!
Applying for disability
