I have a son in the 7th grade with Autism. The teacher called me last week to ask me if I would consider keeping my son in middle school due to his maturity level, that it would benefit him academically before he goes to high school. I told her that I would think about it and get back with her. Me and his dad discussed it and he thinks it maybe a good idea and I don't have a problem with it but I wanted some suggestions.
Ah ok. Yeah, I wasn't sure where he was at verbal wise. Sounds like it'd be a win-win to go ahead and stay in middle school.
It is for kids with autism and/or other cognitive delays to help transition them from high school to either more school or the work world.
No, but wow it sounds awesome!!
We've used k12 and connections academy.
Has anyone with younger children tried this for their child, if so did you use whipworm or hookworm?
Agreed but a more permanent solution that actually resides in the gut would be helpful - for example, the bacteria B. Fragilis which is part of the human microbiome improved symptoms of ASD in one rat… read more

In Georgia, a proposal is for treatments up to age 6(!)now and the voters will have to approve a sales tax to help kids with autism up to age 18. Has any state done that? Any state passed a sales tax of everyone to pay for something that will benefit 1% of the population?
Sole comment on the legislation. Doesn't look good if there a lot more clowns like this one.

I've said it several times but this just reinforces my view that Georgia is going continue holding the title of worst state for kids with autism. It's the 8th most populous state in the union and one… read more
I know I'm not the only working mother in this area. Where the heck can I find a preK that will take an ASD 5 year old, still in pull-ups, and on project lifesaver (wanders) so that I don't lose my flipping job?
@A MyAutismTeam Member, thanks for the insight.
Hi! I have been super researching vitamin B12 for my 3 year old son. He is verbal but still delayed and has some social interaction delays. Do I need a prescription to begin the spray? Can it be at all harmful? Has anyone saw changes in their children after using the spray. I know the injections are superior but not sue if it's for us. I don't even know where to begin on all this. He has no guy issues, eats super duper healthy, and is potty trained. Any advice from parents would be wonderfully… read more
Hey so would I just ask my doctor about it or like who do I speak to?
