Tune in and check it out! #PottyTraining #Autism #parentingtips https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen https://www.instagram.com/askdrdoreen/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWSL-fAgvt3qo5yGwP4SUUQ 12:53 Methyl B12 Shots 17:25 Bullying Hi. How can I help my middle schooler that gets relentlessly teased by classmates. The school knows and is trying their best and has a strict bullying policy. It's mostly verbal, some throwing snow in his face and laughing. He is such a target! Sometimes he can handle it, but other times he gets so upset it leads to throwing chairs and desks. He walks away, tries comebacks, self talk to boost confidence, anything to reduce the size of his target, but it's getting worse. What else can he try or can I help him with? Better coping skills? 27:26 Happy new year to my favorite duo. It's Taren from Louisiana again (w/3.5 yr old) I'm wondering if all autistic individuals struggle with academics? My boy is still in a full time ABA program and will be for as long as I can keep him there, but wondering for the future. Is school harder for our kids? Thanks guys! 33:47 How do you know when your child needs monthly B12 Shots? 35:27 I am nervous as all be. i am planning on going to a Santa performers conference/convention i'm Gatlinburg in April. i am nervous because one this event happens every 2 years., and i will most likely be the only on the spectrum. i never went to an in person conference before. my mom and stepdad are worried since they cant come to the convention center with me. I didn't register yet due to this. i need advice from Dr. Doreen and Shannon on this. this might help others on going to comic cons and similar things. 40:49 Dr. Doreen, my 10 yr old son was just reevaluated (as required by our insurance) and we were just given an added diagnosis of Dysgraphia, and ADD. My concern is with the Dysgraphia. The doctor said it is in his processing, mentally, and that hand writing and technical aids are just one piece. It is a cause of his comprehension issues. Everything I search talks about that only. We are waiting for the complete report. We had a face to face to review the results, and will have the written report next week. What do you recommend? Who are we supposed to see? Therapy, support? 47:51 Hi my 3 years old son starts to pee in the potty 100% whenever I bring him to the bathroom. However, he doesn't say "I want to poop or I want to pee" (need to improve his communication skills). Should I need to wait until his communication is getting better? or is it okay to start to the potty training? 49:13 Potty Training Advice I started to potty train a child at the age between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 till now the child is going to be 5 later on this year and it is off and on. I have done everything I can and it is being destory:( 52:21 Mixed Receptive Expressive Disorder I was wondering if expressive language comes after receptive one. My son receptive language is exploding. 54:38 I think I found a doc I want to use via telehealth from Taca. No medmaps locally, and our local pediatrician hasn't been helpful at all. Thanks 58:16 What time do you watch the show? https://poll.app.do/what-time-do-you-watch-download-the-show?fbclid=IwAR3ZWrFVo6RLx9vIA1B7uJ_81JEcGyMlrbO0LVtEfzoadaMap4D7UJbK1dY 1:00:19 What to expect on the show this week!

I have a question concerning a child who does have a diagnosis and is non verbal, has a few words can say ABC's. but hums alot. Will humming stop if language is developed? 22:35 Omega-3's My son is 11 years old and his language is getting so much better. I recommend a high quality omega-3's 24:01 Risperdal Could you discuss the use of Risperdal as a treatment for a 4 year old, minimally verbal boy who has great trouble focusing. 29:10 What does it mean when a child starts to say random words? Hi Dr Doreen, my son has started saying real words randomly since December and he still does it every day and with a new word or repeat what he said previously. It is not functional but what does this mean? 32:37 Does brain function ever get better for our kids? 34:53 My son doesn't hum but he does make some noises. NOW, I am finally able to ask him and he gives me answer as to what he is doing. Like he'll say "Im thinking about jump scares on Five Nights at Freddy". That is some video game be is really into. He plays it one hour a day but I'm just happy he's able to tell me why he's doing the "noises" and "hand flapping" now. He didn't used to be able to tell me the why. 37:56 Does tongue tie impede his speech as growing? It was not a problem in my son's earlier age.

He doesn't have a problem sitting on the toilet, he just won't go. 51:51 Encouraging Parents after lack of progress Any ideas on how to convince my grandchild's parents? They are discouraged at his lack of progress and are afraid they will miss the window for teaching him necessary skills and language. 55:08 Potty Training (Standing up vs Sitting Down Do you have opinions on teaching boys to stand up to pee vs sitting down. ABA originally taught my son to sit down. So that's what he does, but times change and I had another BCBA tell me I need to teach him standing up. She made some valid points so now I'm wondering do I need to go that route now? He's 14. 55:47 Any suggestions on how to stop head banging? It's decreased 70% in the last 3 years but we haven't been able to extinguish it completely. 1:01:39 Coming up this week!
