I will be writing for the examiner.com as the Autism and Parenting examiner for my area. It's a great opportunity to help families that are new or lost inside the community. Once everything gets going I pass the link along. Thanks

After contacting his Doctor he instructed us to start the new dose this afternoon. That's all that happened. She was right to express concerns about sedation of a child at home. With all we had going on today it was simply poor wording on my part. I knew what I meant but I want to make sure that everyone else does as well. We DO NOT sedate Gavin or any of our children.
