Really, tell that to the daycare providers who act all freaked out when I want

to put my daughter in an afterschool program!!! I know they have to take her

otherwise it's discrimination...but I am trying to go to nursing school and

these jerks are all wierded out by the fact I have a three year old who can't go

potty...stupid idiots....sorry...not jumping on you but just saying sometimes

the mainstream won't take our children...I don't know what I will do. I think I

will email my friend at Texas Tech Burkhart Center to see if she can

help...(she's an Autism Advocate)..grrr..stupid people...she was all like, I

don't think we have anything to offer your daughter...I am like, she needs

daycare...for 2 hours...god

sorry...

Hi ,

I have a little different take. I am all for putting autistic children in with

the mainstream...I think that it helps both sides understand that everyone is

not alike. Because these children are very intelligent, they surely know what is

going on, good or bad. Have you tried art, music, or horse therapy? I teach and

play the piano...she might like the one on one attention. Who doesn't like

music...maybe a fun dance class that everyone is jumping around in and

exercising too would be fun. Horse therapy helps with their sensories. balance,

and calms the spirit. They say that dogs and horses KNOW that these children are

special...they start to form a very special connection. To me, brownies seems to

be more of a structured environment...maybe she needs a little more relaxed

enviroment, especially if it could just be you and her sharing some special time

together (horses). I bought my daughter a mini trampoline. I was told that they

need this " deep joint therapy " . Don't know

much about it, but she enjoys it. No one likes to be picked on...if she truly is

being picked on..she may give up before even starting.

Hi everyone,

Hannah (8) is currently enrolled in Brownies. 2 girls that are there

are very mean to her and bully her frequently (as they do at school).

The leaders keep assuring me that they don't " pull that " while at

Brownies, but Hannah says they do. It's hard to say if she can

separate school time from Brownies but...

Do y'all think that a structured group like Brownies (with about 13

other shrieking little girls) is a good setting? She has very poor

social skills and before knowing her dx, I thought it might be a good

thing to get her involved in something.

Thanks.

I work at a day care center and we have quite a few three year olds who are not

potty trained. Especially the boys for some reason. My own son did not potty

train until he was three and a half. I think I would be reluctant to go to a

center that would show reaction to something like that.

Don't be sorry! When Hannah was undiagnosed and in the Early

Childhood program thru the school district, they weren't going to let

her move up because she wasn't potty trained early enough either!! I

completely understand!! Unfortunately, there are more that don't

understand than those that do!
