Recording Live @10am PT 8:43 My Kid Won't Stay Sleep in his Bed I am a single parent who has a child stuck in my bed. I try keeping him in his bed, but the only way I can do that is if lay down with him. He goes to sleep, but so do I. If I get up and sneak out he will follow me into my bed and I am just too tired to fight at that point. He is 8. I don't think it is healthy for either of us anymore and the truth is I never get good sleep. Help. 19:02 The Moon Effects my Child's Sleep the moon effects my son so much with sleep. why is this? 22:06 How did Your Son Learn How to Script in his Head? 26:55 Potty Training Refusing to Use the Potty My son is almost 5, speaking well & is fully potty trained #1, but refuses to go #2 in the potty. We have tried everything: toy incentives, discussing it w/ him, different seats/set ups, taking breaks. He can wait days so we can't just wait him out. He sits on the potty with iPad for a long time w/o going. What else can we try? We think he has "irrational" anxieties that r hard to put in words. 28:20 Hi Shannon and Dr Granpeesheh. I am a parent of an autistic 5-year-old boy. I have joined many Facebook groups for parents of autistic kids, mainly for support and just to know I'm not going through this alone. There is one topic that seems to come up from time to time on these groups, and that is the term 'Einstein syndrome '. Many parents seem to think their kids fall into this category possibly because the prognosis is more favorable than that of autism. I would like to find out if 'Einstein syndrome ' is a recognized diagnosis and more importantly if Dr Granpeesheh believes it's a real condition. 39:14 All Ghouls Gala Invitation 43:33 Shapiro Legal Group Tylenol PSA 46:29 Bathroom Problems When he goes he hides in another room or a corner. He's very sneaky. He goes in his undies or diaper (at night). 52:17 what about pull up at night? my son has diabetes insipidus that makes him pee a lot. and even with a good night he will wet through sometimes. 54:50 My older son is six, verbally delayed, and autistic. He is constantly attacking us and destroying my home. He responds to nothing. The only peace I have is when he sleeps. I'm terrified for the life of my eleven-month-old child. I'm scared of my own son and I don't know what to do. I've had to lock me and my baby in my room just to keep him safe. Please help me, I don't know what to do. 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 Shannon Penrod's book is out now!

He just wont eat it. He has sensory issues and is starting a feeding therapist. The problem I have is that I am about ready to give up cooking. I waste so much food and my left overs go in trash. It is hard to make meals for just two people when only I eat. how can I get him to explore more foods? He also helps cook the meals in kitchen and he loves this a lot but when he has to eat it. He doesn't. HELP! 19:07 Persistent Diarrhea My 3 year old is nonspeaking, diagnosed Autism. We have started ABA but he has constant diarrhea which interrupts therapy. I hear you talking about diet but when I asked my BCBA about starting the gluten free diet, he told me there is no science behind it. Now I am confused. Should we try the diet? Am I with a bad ABA provider? 26:31 Class Action Lawsuit Announcement Sponsored by Shapiro Legal Group 29:38 Has My Son's ABA Team Been Successful? Hi Dr. Doreen & Shannon. I love your show & so glad to have found y'all. I'd like to ask Dr. Doreen if she'd consider my sons ABA treatment so far successful. He started at 2 yrs 10 months and he is almost 6 months in. He has mastered about 75 programs. Started with a few single words and now speaks in 2-3 word phrase. No problem behaviors to report. Partially potty trained. I look forward to hearing from you all. Thank you so much!!! 30:53 My 9 Year Old is Struggling to Make Friends My 9 yr old son will be starting 4th grade next week. We are still struggling making friends and asking to play properly. For example, we were at the shore last week and 2 boys were playing in the ocean. He wanted to play, and I told him go ask. He said "hi, this is my mom Johanny. Her phone number is ....) the kid looked so confused. I stepped in and said he wants to play with you. Didn't go well. I worry this is happening at school too. Can we get the school to support him during recess or lunch. I wish I was a fly on the wall to see what is happening, so I can figure out how to help. Suggestions? TIA and thanks for all that you both do 3 43:14 Clostridia left his brain completely unbalanced, is this reversable?
