My daughter is 3 almost 4 she’s non verbal and has asd and developmental delayed she won’t keep clothes or pull ups on and loves to smear poop on windows and walls I’ve tried to sit her on the toilet she just cries once she reached down and grabbed poop before it hit the toilet water and smeared it on the bathroom walls how can i potty train her?

My son wants to throw things away. I have no idea why he wants to do this. But he wants to throw things away so badly that he actually will rip up items so he "justify" throwing them away. He throws away books, clothes, food, etc. It happens every day, throughout the day, and multiple times per day.

He's 18 so I can't physically stop him. I am able to delay him. He also gets sneaky about it to the extent of getting up during the night to throw things away.

Ideas anyone?

Levi will be in 4th grade this fall and his teach thinks that he is ready to move to gen ed classes..... POST IEP we have decided to NOT move him to regular gen ed yet

My sweet and affectionate 3 year old has had to completely stop naps. When he wakes up from any length of nap he goes into the worse meltdown mode I have ever seen. This can last for an hour or more. Nothing we do consoles him. So, we changed his schedule, earlier bedtime. This is working great for him but after a long day of therapy he sometimes falls asleep in the car.

Has any one has success with white noise, pink noise brown? My son already takes meds to sleep but it’s the falling asleep that he has issues with. It was suggested to try a noise machine but when I started to research- so many. I had no idea. Has anyone had better success with one compared to another.

I may have asked this before but I’m asking again because I’m desperate for answers. I’ve searched online and haven’t found any information on what I’m looking for.

What does boredom look like in your ASD kid? What actions do they do when they are bored? How can you tell? If they are not bored just under-stimulated, how do you explain to others the difference??

Good Evening Everyone. So My son has a bonding thing when sleeping. He can not sleep alone. He is now 13 years old & STILL refuses to sleep alone. Before I would lay with him until he dozed off then go to my bed when he's asleep. As he is getting older I would then sit on the edge of the bed until he goes to sleep. Today as I type this I wanted to try a different method now that he is officially a teenager. I am sitting on a chair outside his room until he dozes off but he is tossing & turning &amp… read more
