Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.
Morning folks. Just popping in to let some folks know about the Fox/Azrine potty program. I know many of you are working on toileting issues. In an effort to give Matthew the best chance at mainstream Kindergarten, I implemented the Fox/Azrine program. Matthew was already (pretty much) schedule potty trained. So I used this as a last and final push. IT WORKED. For Matthew it took 2 days , on the 3rd he was dry all day and the 4th he refused his pull up.
This is not a program for the meek or faint hearted. It is an emotionaly and physically intense program. Once you begin you must stick it out until they are potty trained. It could take anywhere from 2-14 days. According to my sons behavioral therapist, a child should be aware of course of a few things first. Please GOOGLE the Fox/Azrine toileting program and give it a try if you're feeling hopeless, frustrated and know your child CAN learn to potty.
Good luck, and buy lots of motrin for yourself and maybe a bottle of wine for a glass at the end of the first day....

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
