Please find an advocate. We have had nothing but trouble with the school and my son's autism diagnosis. Our advocate is amazing and has helped us a lot. Schools also stop ignoring parents once an advocate shows up.

How about Tae-Kwon-Do? The structure and consistency have done wonders for my own son and has transferred to his school behaviors.

My 8 year old son who has high functioning Autism has been in Tae Kwon Do since he was 3. It has been fantastic even though he struggles with it. He just stared competing in sparring tournaments in October.

I'm sorry. He's 7 and is very anxiety prone.

Ds will be having a full evaluation on Thursday. We think he may have Asperger's. We have filled out the thousands of pages of paperwork and I have spoken with someone 3 different times for a variety of questions. What do I need to know...

I have about a hundred porcelain dolls that need some serious dusting. I have tried the blow dryer to blow the dust off and it doesn't do anything. I am nervous about the vacuum. Any other ideas? TIA!
