| Thank you all for your responses. Androbot01- what you said is exactly my concern. My son actually said to the doctor who suggested ABA right in front of him (and said reason was to help him fit in more with society)--that he likes himself just the way he is, that he is unique and doesn't want to be... |

| Hi, I am just curious to get parents feedback on this therapy. Did or does your child receive, your reasons for seeking this therapy or choosing not to, your experience if you did choose it. My ex and I are in disagreement over this for our 7 year old son. Thanks! |

| I am one of the parents that sent a pm to OP. I was happy to see her post, as you don't find a lot of people who feel the way we do out there. I don't see anything wrong with what she said. I happen to be NT with a son that has ASD. She is looking for people who feel the way she does, has similar pa... |

| Thanks you for the replies. His dad has a new girlfriend but he happens to like her. I really think it has to do with him having anxiety over switching houses. It has always been there but now that he is getting older he talks more about not wanting to go to his dad's or not wanting to be away from ... |

| Hi everyone. My six year old son has started in the last few months having severe, unrealistic worries. Some examples is he is afraid he will say "I wish I was never born". I tell him you have control over what you say, and even if you said that it isn't going to change that you were born. Or he wil... |

| KingdomofRats- Thank you so much for replying to my post. Those are some great suggestions and helpful to hear what has worked for you to help you tolerate tests. I am going to contact the hospital and find out what they offer and how maybe they can help me prepare my son. I also went ahead and orde... |

| chris5000- I think that is why I hadn't gotten a weighted blanket before. If I remember they were pretty pricey. I thought the same thing about benzodiazepines and was surprised that no one has even mentioned that as an option. If this next visit doesn't go smooth, I am going to ask about that. I wo... |

| KC73- Thanks so much for your reply. You have some really good suggestions. I have looked into weighted blankets before for him. Maybe this is something I should invest in. Also, along the headphones idea, I am thinking maybe I can let him look at my iphone or something if they will allow it. Thanks... |

| I have a general fear of anesthesia as well, particularly for a child that has congenital heart disease. Congenital heart disease increases the risk of mortality from anesthesia. I don't know when I would ever feel comfortable putting him under anesthesia other than for a serious surgery. The only t... |

| Zette- Thanks for the reply. I will look into that. We still are two months out from appointment so maybe we could set something up. I actually considered trying to buy gel similar to what they use during echocardiogram and try and get him use to it. That seems to be one thing that really gets to hi... |

| Thanks so much for the reply. Maybe the new doctor and facility will be a better experience. His old doctor really was very impatient and not good with kids (tons of similar reviews online). Maybe my son sensed that. Also the office was not decorated bright and no toys. Sort of felt like an old offi... |

| Hi. I was wondering if any of your children have a medical issue that requires testing or monitoring. My 6 year old son has a congenital heart defect and has to have an annual EKG and echocardiogram. With his sensory issues it has been a nightmare. He also has a lot of anxiety about doctors and test... |

| I have a 6 year old who definitely is controlling of me. I am afraid it will get worse as he gets older. I can't wear lipstick! I think it started as sensory issue for him if I kiss him with lipstick on. But now he says "you are beautiful without lipstick. I like you just the way you are". Ahhhh, wh... |

| I think every child will be different. My son has extreme sensory issues. He is 6 now and we still have not flown on an airplane with him. We have driven 8-10 hours in the car and he did fine. He would play with one of our phones or sleep. I personally wouldn't have ever considered flying with him t... |

He is starting to become more connected, expressive, affectionate again. He really was shutting down because of school. I think the biggest thing lately is he f... |
