He is nonverbal, classified as intellectually disabled, and severely autistic. He is a very sweet little boy, and I love him very much. He needs a lot of special care and is emotionally and mentally more like a very young two year old. He goes to autistic specialized preschool and absolutely loves it. I am having some difficulty with recent behaviors and the school isn't really helping with ideas. He likes scripting from YouTube videos. Mostly nursery rhymes and songs with alphabet and numbers. The scripting in itself is not a problem. The main problem is that he does not control the volume of his voice at all, and he will script literally nonstop day and night. Most children when they wake at night would become bored and go back to sleep, but he is perfectly happy to entertain himself for several hours on end. Does anybody have any suggestions how to help him understand there is times he cannot do these behaviors or at least to do them quietly? Given his limitations simply requesting he be quiet or does not work, and only pauses his action for about three seconds. I am a single mom and I lack social support. I have also explored every resource in the area, and there are not a ton. I am utilizing what is available, but I need more help. 54:57 He loves cords and shoelaces his gone through so many shoe laces I've had to buy so many because he pulls on them or puts them on his mouth I don't know what to do he reaches every where I put them. 58:05 I've requested accommodations at the school without result. Without the diagnosis of deaf they will not accommodate.

Please I need some help, my 12 yr old son took a knife from the kitchen and was standing looking at me, when I went close to him to take it away he said I'm sorry. What happened before all this was that he was upset because every Sunday we let him pick a place to go to, park, restaurant, mall, etc and he also gets to eat fries which is his favorite, we'll the night before I checked his history on his tablet and found cartoons that he knows he can't watch became these cartoons show very inappropriate behaviors like beating people up and cursing, I have blocked the page so many times but somehow he manages to find it, so I took his phone and table away, that was the beginning of everything the next morning which is Sunday he kept asking for his tablet I said you can't use it yet, so he then started screaming, yelling and saying things like I want you to die mom, I'm leaving the house and never coming back and proceeded to get dressed and try to go out, I stopped him and he then started screaming more, I told him that we were not going out that Sunday because of his behavior and I say on the couch that's when I heard him in the kitchen getting something and I told him to come to the living room, that's when I saw he had the knife in his hands, he said he was sorry and he didn't want to go to jail, I told him what he did was very bad, he proceeded to scream and cry. He has a psychiatrist he sees once a month, he's on Sertraline 25mg 1x a day. I'm so devastated don't know what to do. I'm also scared don't know if he would attempt to hurt me, normally he's always saying he loves me and wants hugs from me. Don't know what to do please give me some advice. Normally he's loving kid. Lately he hass been defiant, he curses and just want to do what he wants, but I never seen him do this before, I'm so devastated, don't know what to think, say or do. 29:48 Helpful Tips for Unwanted Dietitian Visits I am going to a dietitian tomorrow and me and dietitians don't mix. I can't stand when people try to change my eating habits. I'm going for medically controlled weight loss, and it's needed by my whole medical team, but I am afraid of lashing out or if I get told I can't eat my favorite things anymore I might have negative behavior. I know they are doing it for my own good, but I don't like being controlled. I don't wait to embarrass my mom and stepdad. please help me. 38:42 How do you feel about older children watching younger programs? We're big believers that we must try to keep our child moving forward. As autistics tend to be immature as they grow up. 43:33 Do you have any advice on the Nemechek protocol? 45:24 What to do When the School Takes Away Your Child's Biggest Reinforcer I'm working on this with the school right now, Quinton likes to use his hand drawings as reinforcements. He had one bad day, where he lost one of them, and he went a little extreme. That day they said no more pictures without giving him an alternate type of random reinforcement, they tried to say absolutely no pictures, it was a punishment, everyone in his circle disagreed with With a School said they wanted to do. I've been taking a lot of data; this happened a week ago last Friday. 46:47 I need tips on how to address a BCBA who is overworked. I have the most amazing RBT but the BCBA isn't giving enough attention to my sons programming. She is assigning goals but not being specific, so it leaves the RBT to interpret how the goal should be run instead of her modeling. During supervision little to no feedback is given even when we are looking at her for direction. Help!
