I am posting this recommendation for parents who have problems sleeping (NOT YOUR CHILD). We all know that autism also brings sleep deprivation into our homes and this makes everything else we do more difficult. This won’t help with being up with your child at all hours, but it will help if, like me, you can’t sleep from worrying. In any case, I’ve been taking POWER TO SLEEP for about a month and it is INCREDIBLE. I really didn’t think an herbal supplement could help with sleeping to this effect. This beats even pharmaceuticals. Here are the ingredients. From what I’ve read, the Valerian Root Extract is probably the most potent ingredient, but whatever the case, IT WORKS!

Can cartoons, movies, tv impact your ASD Child?
In general, I’ve never been big a big fan of blaming violent movies, TV, or video games, for the acts committed by people who view them regularly. However, if you have a kid with autism, you might consider taking a look at what exactly your child is watching. While this is a great idea for all parents, sometimes autism parents might assume that a certain show is OK or think your child is not paying attention to what YOU are watching. In our case, our daughter is super perceptive even when we think she is focused on something else entirely. She also seems to tune in to our moods, which can also be a factor considering what you are watching.

I am sick and frickin’ tired of seeing these autism murder suicides. Mom or Dad can’t take it any more. Can’t bear to think of how their child’s life will end up, decides to off everyone involved. For some reason, these people who are good at killing their children, often screw it up and survive themselves. How convenient.

As kids, most of us were not too fond of going to the dentist. Often a scary ordeal even for “neurotypical” children, it can be downright terrifying to kids with autism. For one thing, they are asked to sit still for an extended period of time while a stranger poke, picks, and scrapes around in their mouth with various instruments. The odds are very high that the first few trips to the dentist will be less than successful.

Teaching Reading to Children with ASD. What’s The Best Way?
There is no one way to teach reading to children with ASD. Learning styles vary between children so a range of strategies should be tried. Some children find reading remarkably easy, and very quickly learn to read far beyond their ability to understand the words they are reading (this is called hyperlexia), while others find it much more difficult to learn to read.

A few months ago this appeared in Dear Abby and got my blood boiling, Dear Abby, I’m frickin’ clueless … Autism Aunt Raises Money and Autism Dad’s Blood Pressure. Hopefully, clueless aunt got the picture and realized that the number one thing she can do to help is watch the kid and GIVE HER SISTER A MUCH NEEDED BREAK instead of bitching about her not participating the the family fund raising efforts!

If Job were alive today, I am fairly certain that God would give him a kid with an Autism Spectrum Disorder to potty train. Anyone who has attempted to accomplish this feat knows exactly what I am talking about with this subject. There have literally been about a beezillion books written on the topic of potty training a child with autism.
