Hello Parents from Toronto. Seeking out for suggestions. I'm staying in New Jersey USA and need to move to Toronto with my 6 years old who is Autistic and ADHD. Any guidance I need to follow when trying to find a good school for my kid? Do the public schools provide good therapies? Or you prefer private? Based on my findings I have to decide a place to stay. TIA.

He will keep food in his mouth for as long as I let him. I try to dig it out after a certain period of time.

Our pediatrician told us to keep using the non fluoride toothpaste until he spits. He sucks the toothpaste off and eats it. He will brush but will not spit. Also his breath is horrible. I don’t know what to do.

My son started kindergarten last week and he has a paraprofessional. It's been a rough start, my son is pulling things of shelves, makes noises and even kicked some people in the classroom. He's not violent with us, so this has to be related to being overwhelmed
Unfortunately his para is not trained to deal with autistic behaviors and the teacher doesn't seem to want to deal with the situation (I get it, she has many other kids to teach). Have any of your kids struggled in kindergarten? Did it… read more

My son was very close to potty trained from age 6-8 but regressed after some medical issues and lost the skills. 2 years ago he would sit on the toilet with the lid closed. In our current apartment, he refuses to get near the toilet and definitely not sit on it. Has anyone had any luck potty training with an older child who has been in pull ups a long time?

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?

Needing advice... I went to pick my 5 year old son up from kindergarten and I hear the words "we need to talk, your son keeps spitting in other kids faces." Anybody else deal with a spitter?? At home he has never spit on anyone, he just spits in the air.... What can I do to teach him that you don't spit on others or even at all (unless brushing teeth)? 😢

My daughter is 8 going on 9yrs and she is the baby of 4 kids and trust me enjoys that fact lol. She has a big brother, my only son, who is also autistic and it's hard when 3 kids use the toilet fine and my youngest is content "going" NEXT to the toilet right in the bathroom. It's upsetting and I already suffer from C-PTSD, Anxiety and ADHD. I take my meds but when she does this, sometimes I just wanna cry. Me and my oldest daughter who will be 18 in just a few months work together to try our… read more

I have a question my son likes to spit in people's face. I've tried everything to get him to stop and nothing seems to work. Does anybody else have any ideas on how to handle this problem

My 5 year old daughter has an issue where she makes herself vomit. Or if she drinks too much water would bring up and hold the water. Today she spat on a child back. Also she likes to drink and spit back in the cup or bottle . How can I get her to Stop
