Question by mo in the middle: Any parents of children with autism out there surprised by the Republicans sudden interest in our kids?
Not that I don’t appreciate it, but where have you been for the last eight years? And does anyone know where Sarah Palin’s newfound expertise in autism comes from? Down Syndrome and autism are apples and oranges, and I can promise you, Sarah Palin is never going to have to fight for services for her child.

Question by Nicegirl55: Why do men stray away from/or are afraid of taking care of their responsibilities when it comes to children?
I have a 3 year old son and I have been struggling to care for him because he has a speech delay and autism. My son father gives me money when he can but fails to understand that caring for an Autistic child is very hard on me and that I need alot more then just money from him to care for our son. Altho me and my sons father are not together I do feel like I should not be the only one going through this alone. I mean I am 25 years old, our son will be 4 this month and unfortunately he can only say 2 words, he is STILL in diapers (not pull ups), I would go on with a full page list of things he cannot do but ,,,its a little depressing.

Best answer:

Answer by Je June
When you decided to become a single parent, you have no reason to think that the father take part in parenting responsibilities.

We can require him by law to help cover the child’s living expenses but he can’t be forced to help you.

I am sorry that you’re alone, please stop churning trying to get the father to help. He is not going to help and imagining that he will is distracting you from your responsibilities.’

Reach out to other women, particularly women with special needs children. They can offer support and coping tips, also they may know of services available that you were not aware of. There may be respite care (basically well qualified sitters provided by charities or the state) or a drop in center that can help you. Also you may be able to plan weekend outings together, it’s easier to take children out with another adult.

There are lots of autism groups all around the country. Look one up an seek help and support for people who are really available instead of wishing that some one who is not going to help would have a change of heart.

Question by jK23: What would be some good first day classroom activities for preschool children with autism?
I just got a job as an early childhood autism teacher and I need some ideas on first day of school activities for these children to become established in the classroom.

Best answer:

Answer by rbrumbaugh22
Hi, sounds like you got yourself a great career here. First off, I am not any teacher or anything, but would love to become involved with children. I currently work with special needs people, and want to broaden my skills. I would say for first day activities, I would have them put blocks together according to colors, sizes, or have them try drawing anything that they have on their mind. Let them play with toys so you can get a feel for what they like or don’t like. Let them mingle with other kids and see how their interaction skills are, so that down the road you can form little groups and sort them accordingly for future activities. I know this answer may not make any sense, but I just thought I’d try sharing my opinion. God bless.

Activity Schedules for Children With Autism: Teaching Independent Behavior (Topics in Autism)

Activity schedules — simple, yet revolutionary teaching tools — enable children with autism to accomplish activities with greatly reduced adult supervision. An activity schedule is a set of pictures or words that cues a child to engage in a sequence of activities. When activity schedules are mastered, children are more self-directed and purposeful in their home, school, and leisure activities — doing puzzles, interacting with classmates, and preparing food with minimal assistance from adults.

still in diapers Autism:

Question by mars2boys: How closely do autistic children need to be supervised?
We have a 5-year old neighbor who is not potty trained and does not communicate well. She is still in diapers, yet she roams the neighborhood unsupervised…no shoes, no helmet when on her bike. I am considering calling social services, if she is not mentally of the age to be potty trained or communicate like a 5-year old, I wonder if she should be unsupervised outside so much. I don’t have much experience with autistic children, so wondered if this is more of a concern than if it were a child without autism.

Best answer:

Answer by Needs suggestions
It dpends on the type of autisim and the severity of it. There are some types of autism where the child doesnt need any supervision. Although they are somewhat ‘altered’ they are able to live a generaly normal life. However there are also some people who need constant supervision. Alot of younger austic child, and those who are going threw puberty can be ver violent. It depends! You cant make judements.

But 5 year old shouldnt be outside unsupervised either way. Autistic or not. I think you should call social services. Even if they dont take her away they may be able to help the family or possibly find a way for them to afford extra help.

www.balancedhealthtoday.com Background Several uncontrolled studies of hyperbaric treatment in children with autism have reported clinical improvements; however, this treatment has not been evaluated to date with a controlled study. We performed a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial to assess the efficacy of hyperbaric treatment in children with autism. Methods 62 children with autism recruited from 6 centers, ages 27 years (mean 4.92 ± 1.21), were randomly assigned to 40 hourly treatments of either hyperbaric treatment at 1.3 atmosphere (atm) and 24% oxygen (“”treatment group”", n = 33) or slightly pressurized room air at 1.03 atm and 21% oxygen (“”control group”", n = 29). Outcome measures included Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale, Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), and Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC).

autism uk:

Question by jumbo remote: is there a uk forum for parents of children with autism?
I have a recently diagnosed autistic son,I have received good local support,but feel that i need support from more experienced parents.

Best answer:

Answer by k l
Go online, a click google search using “autism parents forum and UK” turned up a number of hits.
Look for sites of organizations that have been around for a while and maintain clean and updated websites.
If you only want a forum look into how it’s maintained, how many parents actually post information on it, and if their experience can help you. Autism is a wide ranging disorder and will affect every child and his/her family differently.
If it seems that the author is just trying to sell you something, encourage unsafe practices, or if the forum is full of spam, look elsewhere.
Good luck.
