We have to wait for our funding application to go threw. But then wisconsin is changing things so we were told maybe a year before anything happens. He is already very behind in his speech.

How do we get my son to sleep in his own bed all night. It's been 5 years and we still lay with him every night till he falls asleep. Only way he will take ANY kind of melatonin or ANYTHING is by crushing it. Will not take any pills so that's out.
It couldn't hurt? Every night a little different. She sometimes falls asleep during her show or half way through the 2nd.. Sometimes we throw on a full house episode .. Seriously she sleeps through… read more

How do I stop my child from pinching my chest? He only does it in the spring and summer and I have tried everything from slapping hand to redirecting. Nothing works. When I tell him no or its unacceptable, he goes into a screaming fit and head bangs. I have had my mommy meltdown today and can use some advice.
LOL, it would be very difficult to not react to that :-) I know how hard it is. My son bites for attention sometimes, but never my breast... I feel for you, ugh!!! Glad you are figuring out… read more
I'm debating whether to take my 28 month old daughter to the movies. There's a. Summer series for $1. Has anyone been successful going to the movies with a 2 year old? She's not too sensitive to loud noises, but a movie may be too long.
try anything once, get a bag of goodies in your purse and drinks in diaper bag and make it an adventure
Has anyone's child ever talked about someone that has died. My son talked about his sister that has been passed for 9 or 10 years now avg he is 3. She was a stillborn. Which makes it even more creepy. Beside that he told me he killed a coward... Someone help

I am having a problem with my son and aggression. He is fine at school, fine with the the ABA therapist, mostly fine with my mom who watches him while I am at work. He seems sot get aggressive with me when I get home. We will be fine but if something is not right, he attacks me aggressively. The game freezes, he throws it, the pen stops working, he throws it, I need to eat, The orange isn't quite that round or a flower is dying. He slams doors and comes after me aggressively. Scratches, bites… read more

Sometimes it's hard to help those closest to us understand what life is really like with raising a child on the spectrum. What do you wish they could better understand about your child?
I understand because they live in a typical world so naturally the answer is typical. We on the other hand live in a world where a simple transition can become a meltdown which sometimes leads to… read more
My son sweats even when he is just playing quietly in the house. He cannot stand for his hands to be sweaty and becomes very upset if they are not whiped off cleanly and quickly. I need a way to keep him and his hand cool and as sweat free as possible. He is 5 so I am worried about the deodorants but may consider them under supervision.
Vitamin d helped my child. Suggested by the therapist.
Has anybody tried this? Did you noticed a difference ?
YES! the GFCF diet did wonders for our son. Lifted the "fog" so to speak. Took about 3 months of consciously applying the diet but so very worth it.
