The bathroom is in the classroom so it's not a situation where there's stalls and a teacher can stand in with him having privacy. Unfortunately because it's public grade school the teachers can not be responsible for changing him/cleaning him up if he has accidents. The odd part is he never had this...

It rarely happens at home. The teachers tell me he refuses to go to the bathroom when they ask him to go and has meltdowns if they push the issue. He says he doesn't want to be alone but of course the teachers can not be in the bathroom with him.

Hi, I have an autistic son who is 6 years old, in first grade. Since the school year started he has been having increased accidents. First it was just urine, now he's soiling his pants several times a week. We try to talk about it and he just cries and says he's sorry and he can do better next time....

I have 4 children. Two are on the spectrum two are NT. I find that the kids split into sides and it's always my Aspie daughter and Autistic son vs my NT son and daughter. I know it's normal for kids to form alliances, I recall doing it as a kid with my sister, my concern is really that the alliances...

I had the same thing happen. My son toilet trained around 3 then at about 4 1/2 he regressed. It was a battle for the next year and a half. The only thing that I found helpful was consistent routine bathroom breaks. Whether he had to go or not, we made him sit on the potty every hour. We found that ...

In terms of eye contact, I'd say this: my son is a social aspie who is not bothered by eye contact; he just forgets to do it. A good half of his poor pragmatic skills are because he misses all the nonverbal information because he is looking the other way. We do push him for eye contact for this rea...

Are you talking about not doing many hours of ABA? Physical contact was important to me, I learned with the OTs help how to do it that was positive for my child. Stuff like pushing her in a hammock swing made her feel good, she liked it, and it made her world and mine better. Speech therapy and OT ...

I decided very early on that I was not going to battle against my sons sensitivities to satisfy my own needs. I don't force physical contact, eye contact or hours upon hours of therapy trying to make him seem like a nt child. My theory has always been, if someone tried to force me to engage in behav...
