28:54 Hello, my son
communicates his need/want he is 41/2now. When will he start to
communicate with us (randomly)
31:30 My grandson doesn’t eat and it’s
very hard to put him to sleep
37:39 My son is 6. He’s been in ABA for
3 years and has made great progress but he’s so hyperactive. He
does great in his center but so hyperactive at home and is now
becoming defiant. I’m losing my mind.
42:19 My 8 y.o. is always hungry. She
can eat 3 bowls of spaghetti. She also has issuea with heat. She
cant stand being outaide when too hot. What ia this and what can i
do?
44:26 What help is there for me? I just
can’t deal with my own thoughts.
46:14 I need advice on how to handle my
parents because they don’t trust me.
54:32 Our son is 4, and was diagnosed
with ASD a year ago. We are currently living in a region with very
poor education, and both my husband and I remember how autistic
kids were treated when we were in school, not that long ago and not
that far away. We are afraid he won't be able to reach his highest
potential if we stay, or worse, for his education to make this
brilliant kid believe he isn't good enough for anything. We have
been talking about moving, but my parents are retired and take care
of him while we work. They are fantastic, and he has a great
relationship with them. We are afraid of him losing this connection
and withdrawing. They cannot afford to move with us. I know
everyone has a different case, and we must decide for ourselves,
but has anyone here been faced with a similar choice? What did you
decide, and how did it turn out? Thank you very much! Edit: We are
thinking about moving overseas.
1:00:18 My 4 year old ASD son probably

windows... his language skills are improving... please help on how
to work on this
