I am wondering if it would be advantageous, or not, to opt out of state-wide testing. I wonder if I'll be able to get progress reports any other way? Opt out? or not? Why? or why not?
Wow. @A MyAutismTeam Member, so those people who are opposed to common core so they are waiving the state testing are jeopardizing their child's chance to go to college. My son is in what they call… read more
Thanks. However, since then I contacted OPWDD and they provided me with a referral list.
How do you deal with a child who is suffering from anxiety? I don't know what to do to help my 6year old autistic son who is dealing with anxiety
@A MyAutismTeam Member, I noticed this was a year ago...just wondering if you found anything that helped?
Hi,
If anyone could recommend a good speech therapist in the silicon valley area, I would really appreciate it.
I have recommendation from our OT therapist, but prefer a recommendation from parent that tried and had real experience with the therapist.

Hello...my family has to get vaccines for typhoid, yellow fever, tetanus and malaria(pills). My son doesn't tolerate levels of toxins well...not even food dyes! I'm really nervous...but we we are traveling to Africa for 4 weeks in July for missions. The risk of yellow fever, typhoid ect is too high.

My 5 year old son is diagnosed with mild to moderate asd and moderate language disorder. He really lacks in receptive language (yes he talks but not as much as he should for his age, also has articulation issues). I need some good picture books and short stories to read to him to help build his understanding of language (what objects are called, emotions, feelings, actions, everything, etc). He has a short attention span but that has improved a bit I believe. I do not need long stories right now… read more
Our son's book club sent us some great books that are simple, paper back, and promote emotional development. They are by Todd Parr. We have "The Feelings Book" and "It's ok to be Different." The… read more
I have a Pinterest account. I want to move pins from there to my Pinboard on myautismteam.
@A MyAutismTeam Member Thanks MyZett! For some reason I thought with all the Pinterest pins being posted I thought there was a connection between Pinterest and here. Like the 'Share button' to send… read more
