| I'm curious as to which education model you all feel is best for autistic children. I acknowledge that this varies greatly from student to student, and that there is really no one size fits all model. I guess I'm just wondering what your preferred method is, generally speaking. Or what you feel woul... |

Does anyone know if there have been any research studies done on the effects of the Paleo diet on autism?
Or - if you are on it yourself and want to share your experience, that would be great too!
Thanks! |

One is only 3, and I have him in a special ed preschool program that I am happy with, but I learned with my 6 year old that our area falls short of meeting needs once the kids rea... |

| Hi there, I was hoping to get some opinions on a situation I'm experiencing with my 3 year old who has autism. I have him enrolled in a special ed preschool - it's 5 hours per day and he receives speech/OT/PT several times per week each, and spends the rest of his time in an integrated class of 12 (... |

I told her how badly I felt about it, and she responded by telling me that it was alright with her if we brought the kids :D I assured her tha... |

My old college roommate (from 10 years ago) is getting married, and she invited my husband and I to the wedding. Our two children, who both have autism, were not invited. The wedding is 3 hours awa... |

First thing, get a referral from your pediatrician to see a Gastroenterologist. 4 out of 5 kids with ASD have GI issues, the worse the... |

| Hello, I have a 5 year old with autism. He was diagnosed at age 2 as being level 2, but was moved up to a level 1 at age 4. To be honest, I'm not sure that I would agree that he is a level one. He requires quite a lot of support. He did not do well in a class of 9 students with a special ed teacher ... |

We took a break and I potty trained him again this winter. He has been in underwear for 2 solid weeks without any issues, ... |

| Inclusion in the class room shouldn't be the child expected to do and deal with what's going on in the class room alone, but an aid or teacher giving the child extra help and direction when needed. Sadly most schools label then remove the children with special needs to a sub class room where they s... |

| I don't understand what your dream has to do with autism. Based on what you posted, it seems that those people simply weren't interested in you. Experiencing that sort of exclusion isn't unique to autistic people. So what? Maybe the dream wasn't specifically about autism then. It's still related to... |

| A tactic for meetings is to present things not as just being in your son's best interest, but also as being in the class's best interest. Clearly, it is non-productive to allow an aide your son is afraid of to work with him because that will not only reduce your son's compliance, but also increase ... |
