How Do You Teach Your Child The Periodic Table?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
EEK! Wondering what techniques you have used to teach your children the periodic table. My daughter also has severe memory issues so she is struggling with this. She doesn't respond too well to flash cards so far but I haven't tried them yet this year. Thanks in advance!!!

Good Morning Precious Souls🌸 My 10 Year Old Is On Risperidone Since He Was 5. I Was Told To Give Him 1mg 3 X Daily.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Over the years I brought him down to 1 mg daily and it was working magic and sleeping thru from 8pm to 6am. In the last week, I feel the risperidone is not working, behaviour seems to be getting worst and also waking up around 2am and sitting on the bed until about 4.30, 5am... No idea what to do. If I make an appointment to see his neurologist I have to pay R2400 in South African Rands. Money which I don't have. Hoping someone here will be able to help me with some advice to help my boy. Also… read more

my son did that for hours - like 15 hours at a time, and then we found found out he was severely vitamin d deficient. 10 days of high doses of vitamin d reduced the behaviour substantially.
Does Anyone Know A Way To Stop An Autistic Child From Stealing?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
My daughter is 12 years old and, for about the past year, she has been in the habit of taking things that do not belong to her or that she does not have permission to use. It started off with her taking food items, mainly snacks. Now she has gone as far as going into my purse and taking credit cards in an attempt to purchase a game. We have tried on numerous occasions to correct this behavior. We have tried explaining that taking things that do not belong to you is wrong and asking her how… read more
