Watch Ask Dr. Doreen LIVE Tuesday's at 10am PT! #AutismExpert #Autism #AutismPodcast https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? 7:57 I want to ask this question: Please can the group tell me, after you have had a diagnosis. Why have I been told by family friends and partners, your normal. You don't have Autism? 14:02 Hi Dr. Doreen. What services are out there when your child has graduated from ABA, is getting bigger (12 years old) and still displays aggressive behaviors? How do we keep him and everyone else safe? 27:03 Hi Doreen My son attends center based ABA it's been a year he has started, but we still has got problem with his stimming and lack of Independent play, I can't control his stim. obsession with fans. 37:25 I was thinking about doing a respite exchange program for single parents. Because gosh, it is HARD when you don't/can't qualify for respite. I have 3 special needs kids and new to the state of TX with ZERO help. 39:04 I have a question concerning couples on the spectrum. If one individual recognizes that they're on the spectrum, And is figuring out their own triggers and corks, but the other individual does not acknowledge this is sudden realization, and continues to treat and converse with the other individual as if there is no processing issue when it comes to emotion. Issues like tone, not hearing exactly what the other person is saying, or internalizing what they're saying .. I.e. imposter syndrome, or goes catatonic during high pressure debates, is becoming an extreme issue. 44:10 Hi Doren, My son is 4 years old, he has phases of 6-7 uncontrollable laughter everyday ? Is it sugar or something else? 48:12 Hi Shannon. What do u think it's mora helpful ABA or SON RISE? Specifically, To deal with an aggressive child. 51:35 Hello, just going to put a warning that this is going to be TMI and a little bit gross, I hope it's okay. I am 19F and I have a twin brother who is autistic and non verbal. My mother is his primary career, and I moved back home last year to help her out as my brother has gotten older and bigger than her which can sometimes be difficult for her. From us being young children to around 16, my brother was perfectly using the toilet by himself, for pooping and peeing. Just to add, he also really likes the sound of flushing and coldness of the toilet seat surface, so he often flushes the toilet just to hear the sound and he might sit on it fully clothed whilst playing games which is not really an issue. Around 16, he started pooping on the floor in the bathroom instead of the toilet. Initially we thought he was constipated and struggling to go so my mum started looking closely at his toileting routine and took him to the GP and everything was said to be fine. After a week or so of doing this we tried having him sit on the toilet (as in watching him about to go and telling him verbally to sit down) which resulted in massive meltdowns including self harming. He also stopped wiping himself with tissue afterwards. This was three years ago and since then it gotten considerably worse especially as my mum was afraid of him hurting himself if we made him sit on the toilet. He is now 19 and now poops on the floor anywhere in the house when we're not looking, and occasionally will pee on carpet etc. Most recently my mother had some friends over, and she assumed my brother was in his room watching TV or drawing. A guest got up to go to the kitchen for some water and my brother had left a particularly liquid-y surprise for us on the kitchen floor.

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions about ABA and How to find good ABA, taking medication & more! Tune in and check it out! 5:40 My sister [35F] is leaving her husband and is upset. I want to help, but I am autistic. What things should I [28M] try to do to help her feel better? I'm also a hikikomori/agoraphobic/social recluse, which makes things harder. She's staying with me and our parents with her two sons at the moment. [8M] and [4M]. She was with her husband [38M] for about 19 years, and they got married about 10 years ago. No-one's told me the details on why she's leaving him, but she's told our parents. They understand these things more, I think, and would give way better advice than I could since I haven't had a girlfriend before. All I know is that 'He did something silly' and that they've struggled in their marriage for the past few months. Today I made pasta as dinner for me and her. I've also looked after her kids at points in the past two days! I'm not sure if her kids have been told what's going on, but the oldest one isn't stupid and must know something isn't right. I guess I am asking for general advice on how to help, but how I should react to things. I am sad because I have known him most of my life, and we regularly have spoken about computer games we've been playing. Does this mean I should remove him as a friend on PlayStation Network? How should I help my sister in ways I probably haven't thought of? 13:26 hi Dr. doreen here is a question. my mom broke her wrist on Wednesday and my stepdad has had to take a leave of absence due to it. I don't feel like I'm doing a good job coping with this. i am caring more about my routines like jersey mikes on Tuesdays. I need help handling this better. this is causing my family a lot of hassle. please help me be a better son and to do better let me add on. my stepdad is also helping me a lot as well. and he is one of those people that doesn't get autism in general. he is a southern person who believes in rules. I want to help him as well. please help my family. also, with my sister in college and doing her externship soon sucks. plus, her diagnosis of bipolar 1 I'm also afraid that she will go manic again. sorry for the bother. 21:08 What are some questions to ask when looking for a good ABA provider? 27:58 How do we find out what providers are only interested in what is best for our child and doing things in a "fair" way. 33:33 What is ABA? 39:51 My 4.5 y.o. speaks mostly in 4-7 word sent., can answer many intraverbal questions (including many how & why), & has a good albeit still delayed vocab. But he still struggles to have conversations. When is a reasonable expectation for when he could converse? He just wants to talk about his interests, which is fine, but I also want to have a conversation someday. Oh, he asks lots of different questions to us too (although that only happened in the past few months). It's trouble sustaining back and forth. 48:20 What's the best way to get my son from using a sippy cup? He's two years old and three months 49:37 My 3 yr. old is not feeling well at all he has had a horrible runny nose and a wet cough now for 2 days ...he just looks miserable and I haven't been able to help him .....just checked his temperature and it says 100.6 ...i just can't get him to swallow any type of medicine ...and its making me so sad ....he only drinks water and milk so I've tried mixing medicine in there but he notice it so he won't take it ...he doesn't eat apple sauce or yogurt so i cant mix it in there ... he has an appointment tomorrow at 9 but i just wish i can get him to take medicine....how do u guys do it when your kids r sick and dont like medicine. 59:07 This week on Autism Live 1:02:28 Dr. Doreen are you seeing kids right now?
