Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi, I am new to this group. I thought I had posted earlier, but it looks ike it did not make it! Anyway, I have 3 kids on the spectrum, 2 girls and 1 boy. My boy is 15 1/2 and has Aspergers and so does my 9 yr old daughter. I also have a severe Autistic girl that is 11. She has been found to have a duplication of the 15th chromosome, as well as I. I just found out after being tested, after all my kids. She and i are the only one that share this duplication! O well. My main concern is as she is approaching puberty, how to handle those issues!? She is somewhat verbal, but mostly echolaliac. Any good social stories etc?!? I look forward to communicating with many in this group! Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Welcome. My daughter with ASD (9) has not reached full puberty yet so I can't offer a lot. There is in the files section a great powerpoint someone here made for their daughter. I have used it to read with my daughter.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 puberty issues, i looked up menstruation on net and found info, and some simple drawings to try and explain it all...........she only just started, so its going to be fun i can see. you just have to keep explaining and trying to do basic explaining, which is so very hard. hannah hasnt a clue. She will happily walk around the house and announce if she is bleeding or not....................oooops............i told her you dont do that, you come and either tell mummy or her big sister...... its going to be a long road i can see.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi michelle, well from our exspence with the hormone it man them worse when they started and she will not start tell she starts to grow hair in the lower arear and under arms then you watch for a like my doctor said a corck ,lol ike a discharge then she may start light or heavey and really my girl really it did not friten the i cryed but it just made them just really hormonal like with us it take us about a week to get back to normal well them it take about three weeks then there about to start all over agian we have tried orthotri/cyclen it was still heavey and too emtional alway crying then  yasmin 28 really it helped with heavey bleeding and clotting but not much on hormon isses then errin witch stopps the pioped all together but not with jennifer she topped for about a year and half them her just made her self have one so now we are on Yaz and we only have been on it for two and half weeks so not shore yet, but my dovtor did say the shot birth control will bring out more behaviors so I'm not going that route. then the one you insert in side near your uterus I really don';t care for that one it's like my mom said it aborts a baby is does not stop the egg not saying she would be sexal acktive but if she was thats what it would do so other then that I don't know but we did try like the yasmin we would take all but the last week witch was the other color were she would start her period and we would do for about three months then on the fourth month we would give her that week and then she would have a period. but jennifer was still really heavey back then too, well I hope I was so help to ya. Subject: Re: new to group To: Autism_in_Girls_and_Women Date: Thursday, January 22, 2009, 10:20 PM Hi Stacie. I'm new to this group too. I live in Wichita Falls, Texas. I joined this group to find support and resources for my 8 year old daughter, Madeleine, who has autism. My most pressing concern right now is that Maddie is beginning to show signs of puberty already. I don't have any answers for you regarding your daughters' periods - - I'm asking the same questions. I can't imagine having to deal with my daughter's menses. I really don't want to put her or our family through it if we can avoid it. I don't think she would understand what is happening to her, and I think she would be very frightened. I plan to speak with my OB about placing Madeleine on birth control, with the hope of stopping her periods altogether, or at least to have them just four times a year. I don't know if that's safe or possible, but it's something I want to explore. I'm very worried about the emotional changes that Maddie will undoubtedly go through. It's hard enough right now -- I'm afraid of what's waiting around the corner. I thought had some great suggestions. Hopefully you'll receive some other helpful ideas.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi stacie. I'm danielle and I have a 6 year old blind autistic daughter and one of my fears is how we are gonna handle when she has her period. I heard there was medicine that can stop her from having it. She won't understand what's going on at all so I'm really dreading having to make that decision for her.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi Debi, How are you? I am new to this group and I wanted to get the word out. Please help us spread the word. The professionals at the Autism Partnership work tirelessly and are totally committed to raising public awareness and helping families across the country. In today's economy, many facilities are overcrowded and way too expensive for families to afford. I had to tell you how amazing the Autism Partnership is! They wrote a book, " Sense and Nonsense In the Behavioral Treatment of Autism, " how they firmly believe in ABA treatment. It's a wonderful tool for parents! They have a Rescue Program just like Nanny 911 where they will go to a families home, or have the family come to them. CNN plans on doing a piece in February please let me know if you'd like me to let you know the date so you can watch! This is an incredible option. Here's their next workshop hope you can attend!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Some of us have found that our kids on gluten-free, casein-free diets have improved behavior. These are proteins found in wheat and milk. There is also some research to support the majority of kids with autism are deficient and/or do not process vitamin b-12 so giving them that vitamin supplement in the form of methycobalamin (mb-12) improves their physiological function and behavior. There are several other supplements and diets that some families use with success. All of these are considered " biomedical " because it helps address the underlying physiology associated with autism. Still, some kids with autism seem to not respond regardless of biomedical interventions tried. Unfortunately, none of it is 100%. Hope this helps. Don't know if you've followed McCarthy in the news at all, this is some of what she's been talking about. Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 --I must admit I was shocked to notice signs of 'development' in my 8 year old daughter several years ago. If everything else is delayed, why not that!! I talked with her developmental pediatrician about things down the road and she suggested getting her the depo shot. It is a once every 3 month birth control shot that also stops periods. I don't think my daughter could handle having a period. she is 10 now and even more developed and I don't feel it will be too long before we deal with this. the other up side to the shot is that it regulated hormones all month long so there is not that up and down hormone surge. the levels remain constant helping with hormonal behavior, etc. anyway, it is the way I am thinking of going when the time comes. - In Autism_in_Girls_and_Women , " msdickson2309 " wrote: > > Hi Stacie.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 my daughter rocks on the couch, kicks her legs in the air, especially when she thinks no one is looking. When we go to church, she never just sits on the chairs, she likes to put her feet on the chair infront, so i always try and make sure we have a seat where it looks like no one else wants to sit....she will put her feet down, if someone does sit there, she knows to. these kind of behaviours i think, release something in our kids that we simply do not understand, i don't think its something that should be stopped, sure, pick the time and place of course. Its the same with vibrations, she simply loves it when we cut the grass and she can go and put her chin on the mower and just stands there with eyes closed, it obviously feels great, and maybe relieves the stress of the day............haven't a clue. Hannah isn't on any medication, only some protein drinks, when i remember...as her diet is shocking to say the least, but she looks healthy, and is the one that never gets sick out of all of us. she has only just started her periods, so the next one will be interesting, by the way, she is 14, she will turn 15 in october.
