Welcome,

My son Aden is 8 and we are in Nevada. Tell us a little more about yourself.

Where do you live? Do you have other children?

Hello,

Our son is also 9 and potty training still proves to be a challenge. Part of the issue is due to medical challenges. He is mostly non-verbal, however he does have a vocabulary of 500 plus words. His ability to use those words is inconsistent. We found that the liquid vitamin Super Nu Thera with P5P from Kirkman Labs does help lessen unwanted behaviors - like throwing things. It has also regulated his sleep. The insomnia was a real problem, but now he sleeps soundly for 10 hours a night. It also helps him say more words more often. I am thankful we found this vitamin. It really does seem to help our son and it is not harmful in anyway - just a multi vitamin.

Hello Everyone,I have a lovely son Adam who is 9. He has DS, Autism, ADHD and speech apraxia. As Im sure youll agree, its not easy and it can be lonely. When he was a baby then toddler, I knew there was something 'odd' as he wasnt a 'normal' DS person lol and when he got the ASD diagnosis a lot of things slotted in to place which helps but Im feeling lost as to how to deal with certain behaviours. Hes still in diapers, has 3 words, very few gestures and throws stuff, a lot :(Just wanted to introduce myself and say 'hi'

Hello!

My little guy is 8 and also has apraxia. I do agree that it is not easy

and can be lonely. I think the throwing is the most difficult for us right now.

I know it is (in part) his way to get attention and communicate. But it can be

hard to take. We are having some progress with ABA therapy (just started a

several months ago). We have a long way to go...one day at a time.
