Guest guest Posted September 27, 2000 Report Share Posted September 27, 2000 Debbie, that's a great idea. Someone once had another good idea on this very subject. The mother said her family had no idea of what she was going through. So she created a newsletter and sends it to family members to explain about autism and to keep them updated on what she goes through and what's going on with her child. I can't remember if it was on this list or another or who posted this, but I thought it was very nice, if you have the time. Thanks for your input, another wonderful idea that will be helpful for others who have this question on their minds. Look forward to hearing more from you, God bless, Sharon(moderator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2000 Report Share Posted October 5, 2000 Oh Trish I am happy the idea of writing a newsletter to family to keep them updated about your autistic child was your idea. I offered it as advice because I remembered the idea and thought it was wonderful, but could not remember who it was I heard it from. So now credit can be given where it is deserved. It is a wonderful idea. Thanks a bunch, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2001 Report Share Posted April 30, 2001 Robin, it's easier, except for when the adolescent issues show up. Then it looks a lot like regression, lol. meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!Annie, who loves ya annie@...--That which does not kill us makes us stranger.- Trevor Goodchild, 'Aeon Flux'At my new job I work with a guy whose 5 year old son is mildlyautistic. Problem he's currently facing is that the boy refuses todefecate in thetoilet. They put "pull ups" on him, he does his business and then goesback to underwear. He'll hold it to the point of constipation to keepfromusing the toilet. They've tried coaxing, bribery, just abouteverything. Is this something you've heard of?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 I have a 6 yr old that is just now potty trained. He would do the same thing. He hated to sit on the potty because, we found out, he was afraid he'd fall in. So we got him a small potty top that goes over the toilet and he eventually went on his own. We tried everything for a while, also. I think some times we were trying to hard. I went out and bought him some cute undies with characters he likes, and told him when he was ,ready, he could wear these. We didn't push him and he eventually went on his own and he tells everyone he's a big boy now. My mom called Robbie her baby the other day and he said, I'm not a baby, me's a big boy now. So we know how proud he is and we are proud of him also. I was worried for a while that he was 5 and not potty trained and our doctor told us to keep working with him and he will go when he's ready, and he did. I don't know if all this helped, but thought I'd share, Sharon(moderator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
