Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hello- I am new to the group. My husband and I have a nine year old with " aspergers syndrome " and a 6 year old daughter with low- functioning autism. Within the last year or so, she has been steadily gaining weight and is now quite heavy set. Her pediatrician is doing some genetic testing to rule out non-diet related issues. She is a very picky eater, and we have made futile attempts to change that with the assistance of a nutrishionist, but to no avail . She now attends a life skills program in a local elementary school, and that seems to be going well, but she has much different behaviors at home (???) Her teacher tells me that she is always calm , happy and quiet, yet at home she gets upset quite easily, and is yelling, hitting, and has lately started to bite. Can anyone give us a bit of advice/direction on how to effectively curb the behaviors before they get worse? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
