A lot of times, teachers aren't that great. You can have the best IEP pla ...

So much for optimism. It happened again last night. The strangest part is that it always happens at exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes after he falls asleep. Last night was a little different because when ...

Too bad for any homeschool kids with Aspie parents. Those kids really need to be in school to learn appropriate social behavior-to learn to fit in and to learn to be a leader and to learn to learn and ...

My son found out when I found out. He was 7 at the time. It wasn't even a big deal to him and it's still not. He already knew he was different. When he got the "label", he was thrilled that there were ...

I looked into getting a service animal and decided against it, because: 1) they cost too much, 2) there is a long wait to get one, and 3) my son is fairly high functioning and i felt that a highly tra ...

My daughter has the sense to home school her own children.
She is lucky to be able to do this because her husband makes enough money for her to be able to be a stay at home mom. Most mothers don't ...

My son has been begging for a dog for the last 3 years. We finally got one. She's not a specially trained therapy dog, just a labrador retriever puppy. Since bringing her home, my son has forgotten to ...

Does your brother go to school or work? Does he get any exercise during the day? If he's bored during the day, it will be difficult to sleep at night. If you exercise the body, the brain will want to ...

The right to homeschool is very well protected within the United States and I don't know of any state that can look into your homeschool situation and judge how well your child is being socialized. Ea ...

I would suggest Miralax dissolved in juice. It's not supposed to have an odor or taste, but my son can detect it if i put too much in his glass. You don't have to use the full dose for it to work. Hal ...

Andermom, I started my son back on Claritin and they caused tics toos. The tics weren't as bad as they were with Zyrtec, but it was still noticeable. I don't know if your pediatrician will admit that ...

They are tics and not small twitches or repetitive stims. I mentioned it to the doctor and he said it's probably not Tourettes. Reminds me of when he told me, it's not autism (but it was).
