My son it 7 and he will pee in the toilet but won't poop? Did anyone else deal with this and what did you do??
@A MyAutismTeam Member thank you I ask the therapist and she said its sensory because its a feeling of losing a part of themselves. After awhile he'll get the hang of it. I'm hoping he does very soon.
My husband & I want to move our family out to Colorado in the next 2 years. We would love to live near the mountains and also near a community that has programs like Easter Seals so our daughter can get out of the house and have fun during the summer. Where would be the best place to move?
I constantly check online (if anywhere we plan to move it's always good to really do your research) especially if you know your child might not be so open to change. I have checked for cities that are… read more
I'm new in this ASD world. My 4 year old son was just diagnosed by his preschool as having ASD. My question is where do I go from here? I want further testing from a medical professional, I'm just not sure where to even start. Can anyone give me some advice?
The first thing should be done is find out who your insurance covers and make an appointment to get a medical diagnosis. With a medical diagnosis you are now legally covered. Then start researching… read more
I finally applied for In Home Support Services for my adult son. If approved, does California allow parents to be the paid provider for IHSS? I ask because I also have two small kids at home and I know no service will include them. Having someone else come in and do things won't help me but being my son's "provider" would bring in a little extra income since I can't work due to him needing constant supervision.
If any way on this site has dealt with vocational rehabilitation n your state or city and had a negative outcome or no help at all..Please email your situations directly to me at : [[email: [[email… read more
Hi everyone,
At the end of my son's kindergarten year (last Spring), he was diagnosed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder. Originally, everyone on his team (including me) assumed his diagnosis would be High Functioning Autism. I know it's all a spectrum, and traits are fluid and change from person to person, but is there something specific that made the diagnosis be specifically ASD and not HFA? When I look at the DSM, he seems to fit the definition of HFA, so I'm curious as to how the… read more

So I feel like this is the worlds dumbest question, but, do I need to re-enroll my child for every school year if she stays at the same school? Last year was her first year of preschool in a sdc, and we had her annual IEP meeting about a week after school ended in june. Do I need to re enroll her for this school year? It just occurred to me...
Usually you register your child every year before school starts so I would definitely find out those dates! :)
Looking for a compound pharmacy near gaston county nc
I am in the process of looking for a divorce attorney. I want to make this as peaceful and nonconfrontational as I can for myself and the kids. It's not that he's abusive, because he's not I don't want to give the wrong idea, but it's the arguing that is likely to go on. To give a bit of an insight, this would be the third time my husband's had an online girlfriend. Except this time, she is in the same state only an hour and half away. He denies this despite the truth and will not talk about it… read more

How do you break a kid from putting things in his mouth. He doesn't swallow them to my knowledge and will spit it out if he is asked to without a fight. I want to break him of this issue all together. Thanks!!!
I like the Discovery Toys' four-headed pacifier and the electric toothbrush idea.
