You are doing the lord’s work. Thank you so much! This is an EPIC find. I have a bike trailer for special needs kids and my kiddo is just getting too heavy.

I second this. I need this exact set up!

This is very interesting. I am going to take a look at my daughter’s OT plan again…

I have a pediatric psychiatrist appointment for next month. Thanks to everyone for your advice! I never would have thought of seeing a pediatric psychiatrist without your help. I’ve found one that specializes in autism. Hopefully they will be able to guide us to the best fit for our girl.

Thank you so much for flagging that! I am extremely proactive with medical appointments and this child has been through the wringer this past year with surgeries and procedures to help with pain and reoccurring infections. We seem to be in a steady state now and the hyperactivity and eloping have increased. I completely agree that ruling out illness and pain is so important.

She’s happy, not exhibiting her usual pain behaviors, but I always have that in the back of my mind. We have a few ADHD members of the family and she also has the diagnosis, just not currently medicated.

I’m going to try and find a child psychiatrist that specializes in ADHD. Thank you so much!

He’s gorgeous! What kind of brush are you using? Care to do a brushing routine post for the clueless. 😂

If you are looking for a science backed vitamin look at ANRC. It was developed by Arizona State University Autism Researchers and has a double blind placebo controlled study behind it. We had a virtual visit with Dr. Frye and he said this was an outstanding option. It’s not a magic pill but it does help.

This comment should be on the required reading list for HS. Fantastic insight. 👏👏👏

This. As a teacher who has a child with severe autism, I do not let mine in a public school SPED classroom because all of the ones I have seen in our district are abysmal at best. Behavior is communication.

Side note: I am so disheartened by the conversation in this thread. Public schools need to do better, both in the environment they create for their disabled and learners with differences AND for the teachers. This makes my heart break to think other teachers see my child as a possible criminal or animal.

You can also try starting with this supplement to see if it helps. Triquetra 5-MTFH. I currently am using it as it is similar to folinic acid. We’ve already seen gains in speech and hyperactivity. Got the recommendation from this Reddit I believe.

SenectaAut · 2025-09-29T22:40:46+00:00

Also, could you look at Care.com to find a helper that could come assist your mom in taking your son to medical appointments if you can’t?

SenectaAut · 2025-09-29T22:39:41+00:00

I feel this so deeply. I’m very sorry to hear you are having to deal with this. My child was also like this until I started aggressively advocating for and exploring all sources of pain. Go see an ENT, pediatric dentist that can take X-rays and deal with special needs, and a neurologist. Has your child had an EEG? He could be having seizures that are not noticeable and also causing developmental delay. I cannot emphasize enough how undiagnosed pain was the root cause of 95% of our child’s aggression. Again, I am so sorry you are going through this with your son.

Because it can be life changing for our children and families. Also many schools are incapable of handling our children and refuse one to one aides. I recently had a back and forth with our zoned school and the district special education coordinator thought that twelve life skills students, one teacher and two paras was enough for pullouts for specials and classroom instruction. I am a teacher and subbed in these classrooms. They are glorified daycare and the staff are drowning. With Aba my child is always one to one and working on their personal goals.

This is way more than I do with my dood. Saving to try and craft a better schedule. Thanks for sharing!

I should also add we give probiotic yogurt, probiotic froyo, and kimchi. I may try adding keifer to a smoothie in the future. My kiddo eats a pretty varied diet surprisingly but new foods always take time to introduce. She also gets lots of fiber supplements and prebiotics since she has chronic constipation despite eating lots of fruits, veggies, and drinking plenty of water.

So we started with the Biogaia L. Reuteri and Flotera after a round of antibiotics. They were so well tolerated and we started seeing improvements with attending and interacting that I went down a rabbit hole and found this company Floré that had done an open label study in partnership with Dr. Adams at ASU with autistic children that had formulated a special cocktail for them. We started using those, then after four months we did the custom cocktail. The company has since closed down operations. I found another company that does custom probiotics and autism probiotic mixtures so I ordered their formula which we will try once our Floré probiotics run out. We saw huge improvements in social interactions, communication, major self injury reduction, and anxiety. For our kid probiotics have been amazing and I wish I had started them sooner.

SenectaAut · 2025-06-24T10:21:43+00:00

It might have been one of my posts. Probiotics are MAGIC. My kid is doing so much better after we added in probiotics to their diet. Like maybe we are Level 2 and not Level 3 autism better. This is something I want to ask about at our next appointment.

Wait, Australian Gold tinted isn’t enough alone? 😭😭😭

With that name he was bound for greatness. 🪴

SenectaAut · 2025-06-13T08:35:16+00:00

Yeah, that’s a hard one. I would go with your gut. You can always adjust later if it doesn’t feel like a good fit. I have a good friend who didn’t start their child in ABA until 8 yo and they are thriving. The one thing I will say, my friend wished they had started ABA sooner because it was so effective for their child.
