| Bullying is serious. My niece nearly died because of bullying. I survived, but the ptsd and depression finally got the best of me. Bullying is abuse. Most kids, never mind ASD kids, can't deal with bullying on their own. The rational thing to do in situations like this is run. I would run from peopl... |

| My daughter does this too. NT 3 year olds don't usually get the difference between reality and fantasy until 4 or so. She's 10 and kind of gets it. I have a question for you. What exactly is reality, the essence and nature of reality? How can one tell what reality is supposed to truly be? Um....tha... |

| If there is Mandt or CPI training for parents in your area, it might be a good idea. Yes, they teach restraint techniques but that's not the point of the training. The important thing is they teach communication and de-escalation. I've worked with some very dangerous developmentally disabled adults ... |

| I hate that whole group think crap. I think that's one reason for the final meltdown at work. Three people in one office, one of whom would not shut up, does not make for a good working environment. |

| See if your state has behavioral health services of any kind. My state does. If so, a case manager might be helpful. I don't know if I could have done without the knowledge and help of my case manager. I did manage to get on disability, but it did take a couple of years and an attorney. In the meant... |

She'll paint the shower walls with shampoo if she gets the chance. Still does, and she's 10. I always figured there was a need to do this even if I didn't understan... |
