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.

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?

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.

Thanks everyone!!

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.
