Will my son ever talk he makes noises and hand gestures but will I ever hear his voice he says ma and I love you every so often.

So I'm not sure how to word this one but here goes nothing! I've approached multiple doctors for my 13 year old daughter who has asd and she says she hears voices that tell her to do bad things.

I have a very newly diagnosed toddler and am looking for advice on the tried and tested ways others have used to stay on top of which specialist requires what follow up, schedule of therapies, tracking milestones/goals, and keeping up with insurance reimbursements etc… It’s kinda mind boggling right now and I’d love advice from others on what worked or didnt for them.

Both kids wake up at 5am and talk as if they are screaming and Just talk and babble all day long.They are hyper as well. How can a mother deal with this with no breaks?

My son does not understand when or how to be quiet. I understand that this is a normal problem for most children however my son likes to be overly loud during times when I ask him to be quiet. He seems to think its funny and his teacher is getting upset with him during the morning moment of silence. Does anyone have a more affective method of getting him to be quiet?

My 7 yrs old autistic daughter can't stand her dad, I could almost say she hates him. She specially hates when he talks to her or tries to play with her. She doesn't like men in general, only her brother and one uncle can get close to her without her having a tantrum. Does anyone have that same problem? Just to clarify, there is no chance that she is being or was ever abused!
