    Aspergers and two homes.

    Our son loves us and does enjoy his time here. I think he is just at that age where is now old enough and realizes his mom isn’t necessarily a fan of us and he doesn’t want her to feel like he chooses us over her and doesn’t want to disappoint her. We have been doing every other weekend visits...

    Aspergers and two homes.

    hey guys, So how did you deal with split homes? My 11 year old stepson seems to be having some difficulty. he has aspergers so the change in routine is throwing him for a loop but he is at this stage where he doesn't want his mom to feel like maybe he is choosing us over her. here lately he has...

    Food & Aspergers

    did you have a bad experience with ABA? so far the ladies we have been working with are great. any concerns we have they address immediately and Bowen responds well to them.

    Looking for low cost and healthy meal ideas.

    If you have a Pinterest, look me up! I have tons of recipes posted that are very budget friendly and simple both of the healthy variety and unhealthy savory variety and make enough for left overs to last a few days. My name on Pinterest is Alexandria Holmes :)

    Food & Aspergers

    I'm so sorry to hear about the abuse and the turmoil it has caused in your life. My husband and I go at a very slow pace when it comes to food because we know the anxiety it causes and we have seen if we push too hard it does cause a meltdown. I came up with a plan to introduce new foods to...

    Food & Aspergers

    I got him set up with ABA Services and we are supposed to start therapy soon. I am hoping the therapist will express the importance of pushing rather than enabling Bowen to his biological mother so he can thrive and live on his own. at his point he is really dependent on his mom. We have told...

    Food & Aspergers

    I agree with you that creating unhealthy eating habits at an early age does set the tone. I should have added that I am Bowen's Stepmom. his father and I get him every other weekend his mom has him for the most part. we don't necessarily see eye to eye when it comes to food or pushing him to get...

    Food & Aspergers

    We used to make a big deal of new foods. but we have agreed to focus on one food he previously ate with no issue, chicken nuggets. Bowen tends to favor foods with a crunch. his favorites are French fries, queso from certain places, cheese pizza with no sauce from two places, peanut butter, and...

    Food & Aspergers

    Good Morning! If you are a parent of a kiddo on the spectrum, you know the challenges of introducing new foods. What are your methods of introducing new food to your aspie? or if youre on the spectrum what is your preference in the way you try new foods? I would be interested to hear from an...

    Stepmomma to a kiddo with Aspergers.

    We’re hoping the therapist will be able to lead us in the right direction we have worked with his mom on everything. My husband and I feel like we see a completely different kid at our house than what she sees at her house and that’s okay. The end goal here first and foremost is helping Bowen...

    Stepmomma to a kiddo with Aspergers.

    hello! I am new here. I'm 29 years old and live in Texas with my family. I am not on the spectrum but I am a parent to a little boy who has aspergers. he is 10 and just finished 5th grade. my husband and I see him every other weekend but we are to the point where we would like more time with...
