Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi Sara, I did not get to respond right back with the other post,I ended up going back to bed. When I posted this is was about 4:00 am, I was tossing and turning, then decided to do some laundry and of course when this happens, I end up on the computer. I had a little drama moment returning from Austin from 's IV Chelation going on and you know how I am implementing the GF/CF diet. I was on the outskirt from San and there was this real neat BBQ restaurant where I could purchase some food could eat, unfortuantely no drive thru, so I needed to get off. I did not want to bother , so I had ended up leaving him in the van with the AC on, him watching his movie on the portable DVD player and of course using some noise reduction headphones. Well, I took the key remote, leaving the van on, decided to leave the key in the ignition, assuming that with the key remote alone I could return to unlock the doors or would unlock the doors for me. I did not take long from ordering the food and sure enough nothing worked, the key remote did not work because of the way its set up once the key is in the ignition. would look my way as I was trying to tell him to " open the door or window " . His movie had ended. Well, I kept trying to get him to open and he would just stare & stare at me. He was pretty tired but most of all I figured he was not understanding because of the headphones too. I decided to contact one of my sister who did not live too far, her, my BIL & their 7 y/o daughter Serena whom just adores. I figure once he saw them he would want to jump out of the van, nope no luck when they had arrived they too had tried. The next thing for me was to contact one of those Locksmith person, they are called Pop-a- lock here as there was something similar to this already a 1 1/2 year ago where I knew the cops are not able to assist due to these circumstances of liability. I was afraid if any side effects when undergoing this type of treatment, requiring lots of plenty of fluids. If I really had seen some signs like going under like a seizure, then I would of broken a window. He seemed to want to close his eyes and they were watery, he would just stare at of all us, like why were we acting like this? As soon as I hung up giving the information with the Pop-a-lock operator, the cops had arrived. I had never called them maybe someone from the restaurant did or they were just happening to be passing by or they probably had one of those radio when emergencies happen and swung by. No telling. Thank God on my van I have these stickers and bumper stickers and the cop had some training in regards about autism when he had noticed this right away. On my sticker it says about the Emergency alert Occupant with autism May not respond to Verbal Command Bumper sticker: I Love someone with autism. They did not assume I was causing some domestic violence. I was very patient when knocking on the window too. Then another cop vehicle arrived, the cop was very courteous and he had asked if I had mentioned that " my son had special needs to the Pop-a-lock and if given a code " ? He was worried when he noticed a yellow bandage wrapped around his wrist area, told him we were just returning from some medical treatment out in Austin, then he radio the station to put a stat on the Pop-a-lock people, but as soon as he was doing this, the Pop-a-lock person showed up and he gets off and immediately pops it open and the cop was happy and of course thanked him and I too had thanked everyone. The pop-a-lock guy, said no charge, just fill out a comment card. Once I had removed the headphones off , I had asked him if he was alright? He immediately responded " mmhmm, for yes. " The Pop-a-lock person had shown up was fast courteous & professional, wasted no time. Very impressed. Lesson learned here never do this again, have spare keys. So this is another chapter of my wonderful never dull moment. Irma,18,DS/ASD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern Daylight Time, pastmidvale@... writes: Lesson learned here never do this again, have spare keys. What a day! I just saw a very cool car safety tip. If you have a cell phone and someone else has a spare key remote (we have one at home) you can open the car. Call home and have the person push the button on the remote so the " beep " sound is heard. You hold your cell phone up to the car door and ....presto....your car will open. Apparently these key remotes work on sound waves. The sound travels over the phone and will work to open the door. Now, of course you need a cell phone and there needs to be someone home that has the spare remote.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi , Just wanted to share a tip I learned on this list - I think it was Carol with this trick. We now use this with , 8 and 60 lbs. Lift the end of the cart where it pulls up so you can push a cart into another cart to store it - let Katy climb in to the cart through the opening created when you lift the end up and then lower the end of the cart back down. Voila - no heavy lifting anymore and child in cart! Works wonders. Hope that makes sense....

I want some!!!! Hi Sara, True and we learn from our kiddos. All an education process. Window Decals Autism Society of America- www.autism-society.org or Window decals for your home or auto indicating occupant has autism and may not respond to emergency personnel. Also include a personal information record. Here is a site from the window decal on Emergency Alert you could view http://www.clearscv.org/know.html I am unable to find a lady whom I met at the Autism One conference out in Chicago. She gave me her personal information said she was located out from GA. She had mentioned that she usually answers the hotline number, but they have every item available.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi Irma, Geez, A heartstopper certainly, thankfully everyone is fine. Once Zeb took my car keys, ran into the car, locked the doors and proceeded to put the right key into the ignition. It scared me more than I can describe. He was six. My dh was screaming like a madman as he stood at the driver side door. Zeb was smiling away. I wanted to beat his behind. I calmly said you can't drive without a license. He opened the door, whew. We were teaching his sister to drive at the time. I never left my car keys in sight from that day. The lessons we learn.
