A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Okay my son's regular pediatrician showed back up to work after long break she has a son with autism and she recognized some things off back about Tyric. She had him retested thus far with the speech therapist and neurologist we just had not done the psychiatrist. He is no longer on med's for seizures.

Has Anyone Had Trouble Wth Their ASD 12 Year Old Going To School? If So What Helped Remedy The Problem?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 12 year old ASD son refuses to go to school. Last year before his diagnosis the school got involved and he had to sign an attendance contract. This year it seems they don't care and won't try to help me to coax him to go. I am frustrated and thinking about putting him in homeschool. I really don't want to as he has an IEP in place and they are working on his social skills which he needs desperately but I am running out of time and options..

Northern FL Volusia Or Palm Coast Area, Wondering What Elementary Schools Are Good For My HFA Son Or High School ,my Typical Daughter?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

We currently live in Southern California, the cost of living here is high not to mention the property taxes are crazy! My son currently receives speech therapy twice a week. No aids in the class. We are hoping to find a school that is as kind, thoughtful and caring as his current school. Input on the local schools for Flagler County FL, and Volusia County FL schools would be great. Thank you !

A MyAutismTeam Member

FL in general is not good for ASD. They do have ASD classes in school but often the teachers are just regular special Ed teachers that take a few autism courses. The state payed for nothing so if you… read more

Sedation For EEG/MRI...
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

... Can it affect the symptoms after anesthetics wear out? I know this might sound too much like a silver bullet, but for second time we experienced changes on her behavior - for better - after the drugs wear out. Has anyone ever experienced anything like that? She seems for focused and incredible eye contact. That too might wear out by tomorrow but still, I'm curious if we are the only ones ever feeling that.

Thanks.

I think you might just have opened a little Pandora box for us. Thanks.
