I have a group of friends who have been such great mom friends. But ever since Johns Diagnosis they seem to not be as helpful. They don’t quite understand the demands of therapy and ABA and the schedule juggling. They try to help but often I find them more annoying then helpful. They even try to talk to me about their Neurotypical kiddos problems at school and I try to help but also find myself getting annoyed at there problems as well. Does anyone else feel this way. Is it part of the process… read more
Thank you this makes me feel less alone that I feel this way. My friends are great moms but I sometimes wish their biggest struggles are only half of what I have to deal with on a day to day.
My wife wants have Nerotherapy sessions for my son who is 7 to help him with communication behavior ect. It is not covered by insurance. I think medication would be better. Has anyone used Nerotherapy before and if so how was your experience with it? Thank You

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?
Im so sorry to hear this. You must feel stressed about it. I agree with what’s been said. The behaviours are showing overwhelm or distress. This means staff need to be proactive. Sometimes those… read more
My son did like puzzles by Melissa and Doug at that age, they were a big hit.....
I’ve had some mild success with taking my lovely boy off of dairy. His BMs have improved greatly and I’ve noticed some change in his behaviour.
Has anyone found any particular book or method helpful? I saw this one and might pick it up. I’d prefer something i can keep in the kitchen with me instead of a digital version.
Thanks everyone!!

I am honestly considering homeschooling my children this year. Too many inconsistencies and variables with covid to feel safe to send them in to their in person school. This year its everyone at the same time the buildings, sure they will have a masking policy, but honestly kids especially adhd/asd children touch their faces a lot, and some touch all the surfaces, and masks are challenging. Seeing how it went last year when they had cohorts and masking (non delta variant mind you) we were… read more

Our son is at the center of on-going bullying at recess and during one of his classes. He has severe language disorder obstacles, and is severe ASD. He can communicate to a point, but cognitively he is around 6-7 years old- he is about to be ten years old.So he has a very difficult time explaining who, what, where and why.
