Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Not sure of the protocol here, but I thought I would just quickly introduce myself. My name is and I have a nearly 6 year old son with autism. We knew there was something wrong at 12 months and got the final word when he was almost 2 1/2. He has been in speech, OT, various behavior therapies and is currently homeschooled by my husband (he is a stay at home dad) for Kindergarten. Zach is mostly a sensory seeker with anxiety issues and hyperactivity. One of my big areas for supporting him is through sensory supports and the like. One reason that we are currently homeschooling is for him to be able to have a rich sensory diet-he gets a lot of active (swimming, running, swinging) throughout the day where in school that wouldn't be as available to him. One of our biggest and most continuing challenges with him is his biting. Currently, he mainly bites his own hands. Previously,he would go after just about anyone, for a variety of reasons. It was so frustrating to deal with that, not to mention anxious (as a parent) when we went out. I bet this is way too long. Anyway, I'm looking forward to finding new ideas and approaches.
