Consider Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) to teach social skills. Consider behavioral therapies such as ABA, with caution. Try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help with anxiety and depression, which often accompany autism. Try Sensory Integration Therapy and a sensory diet to help with sensory issues. Consider complementary and alternative treatments. Watch for fake therapies and false claims."
article: Rapid prompting involves continuously asking questions to the autistic person, and letting them answer using writing, pointing to a letter board, speaking, or whatever works best. It encourages the autistic person to communicate and engage with the world more. RDI focuses on developing skills such as theory of mind, independent thinking, consideration of others, and more. It is a long-term therapy. Behavioral therapy can teach rote tasks using extrinsic rewards, and can be useful for concrete skills such as hand-washing, listening to the word "stop," and tying shoes. Unfortunately, there are many stories of goals that involve compliance, forced normalization, and abuse. Choose therapists carefully and make sure the focus is on teaching your loved one skills, not on forcing them to conform. CBT is a form of talk therapy that can help identify distorted thoughts, such as "Everybody will laugh at me if I flap my hands" or "I am a burden to my family," and evaluate their accuracy. An occupational therapist can work with you and/or your loved one to provide strategies to meet the autistic person's needs. A sensory diet is a set of activities to do at home, like climbing trees, finger painting, swinging, blowing bubbles, et cetera. It can help meet the autistic person's needs and acclimate them to various stimuli. It can also be a lot of fun. The therapist can also help redirect harmful stims (e.g. hitting one's head) towards ones that fulfill the same need without causing harm (e.g. hitting a pillow, applying deep pressure to the head). There is no scientific evidence that any of them are helpful at all, some involve specific risks, but certain people find them useful. The following is a list of treatments that fit this category and examples of what they may involve: Energy therapy - reiki, acupuncture, Therapeutic Touch Alternative medical systems - aromatherapy, homeopathy Manipulative and body-based method - deep pressure, acupressure, hydro massage Mind-body intervention - auditory integration, meditation, dance therapy Biologically based therapy - using herbs, special diet, and vitamins Always consult a doctor before making a major change to your own or a loved one's diet or lifestyle. Some alternative therapies, such as chelation therapy or MMS, are potentially deadly. If the autistic person is upset by the therapy, or fails to improve, find a new therapy. From common snake oil peddlers to certified BCBAs, there are people who will distort truths and support ideas that can harm you or your loved one. Trust your instincts, don't let fearmongering make you panic, and don't continue a therapy if you think it is upsetting you or your loved one too much. Therapy should not be extremely painful or distressing. A therapist should take the patient's unhappiness seriously. 40 hours per week of therapy is as intense as a full-time job. This can be overwhelming. Small children do not have adult attention spans. Your child will be fine with 1-2 hours per day or less, and there's no rush. Transparency is a reasonable request. Therapists should not prevent you from witnessing a situation, or dodge your questions. People who claim to cure autism are not being honest. Autism is probably genetic, not caused by vaccines or parasites. Your instincts matter. If a therapist is telling you to ignore your gut feeling, that you're being irrational, or that you would intervene if you saw what they were doing to your loved one, this is a problem.

Fill the bulb syringe with one to three tablespoons of warm water. Lubricate the end of the bulb syringe with olive oil. Insert the tip of the syringe into your child's rectum. Gently squeeze the syringe. Wash the syringe after use."
article: Infant constipation is a very common problem and if other methods fail an enema may be necessary to help them. Your infant likely has constipation if she has hard stools or difficulty pooping. Talk to your pediatrician before you give your infant an enema using a bulb syringe. Sometimes enemas can cause irritation or fissures of your child's anus, resulting in pain and stool holding. Breast feeding is less likely to cause constipation and digestive issues than formula feeding. A small amount of magnesium in a bottle can help a baby have a bowel movement. You can also try gentle tummy rubs on your infant before trying an enema. To give your child an enema, you will need to have the following supplies: A clean bulb syringe Olive oil A diaper Warm water You will want your hands to be clean before doing this procedure. This process can be messy once your child has a bowel movement, so you will need to wash your hands again afterwards. Make sure you wash your hands for at least 20 seconds using soap. Lather up your hands, including between your fingers, under your nails, and the backs of your hands. Rinse your hands well and dry them with a clean paper towel. To fill the syringe, squeeze the air out of it first, then place the tip of the syringe in a bowl containing the water. Release your thumb slowly and the syringe will fill up. Make sure the water isn't too hot. It should feel lukewarm to slightly warm to touch. You should use no more than three tablespoons of water at a time. This will make it more comfortable for your infant during the enema. Take a teaspoon of olive oil and rub it on your finger. Coat the end of the syringe with a thin layer of oil. Only insert it about a half inch. Avoid squeezing the syringe or you will lose the water inside too early. This process can be unpleasant, so you may want to ask someone to help you distract your infant so he does not pay attention to his discomfort. The water will enter your child's bowel and help to loosen stool. Your infant should have a bowel movement within a couple of minutes of the enema.. Wait a few minutes for your child to have a bowel movement. To make this process less messy, you can put a diaper on her. Repeat this process, if necessary. Clean it with hot soapy water and let it dry overnight. Be sure to rinse it thoroughly to avoid soap buildup. Squeeze the syringe several times in soapy water to clean it. Never use an enema bulb syringe for another purpose besides enemas.

Take the time to make sure you don't have dirty hands. You want to make sure that you don't accidentally introduce germs or dirt into the tank while you clean it. If you use soap, make sure to rinse it off thoroughly. Soap residue can kill fish. It is important to keep all electrical appliances unplugged and away from the tank while you are cleaning it. While these appliances should be made for use in a fish tank, you do not want them to accidentally fall into the tank or be otherwise submerged in water. To clean the tank you will first need to set up a safe and clean place to stash your fish. Find a clean cup or bowl that you can put the fish in. Take some of the water from the Betta's existing tank and place it into the glass or bowl; You will need just enough water so that the fish will have a little room to swim around. In addition, you will need the tools to clean and refresh the tank's water. You will also need: a sink, a plastic cup or net to scoop the fish and water, paper towels and a scrubber to clean the inside of the tank, water conditioner (which is available at most pet or aquarium stores), a sieve to use when cleaning tank gravel, and a plastic spoon. Using a small cup, scoop out 50% to 80% of the water in the tank. Set it aside so that it can be used later on in the tank. This has to be done because you cannot change the water entirely, as it might put the betta into shock. Instead, you will put the water you set aside back into the tank, after it is cleaned. If you are a new owner, you can start by 50% water changes and gradually increase it till you reach 80%. Most of the filth in a betta's tank is in the gravel at the bottom. If you take the water off the top, then you will still be getting rid of most of the dirt and grime when you clean the gravel. Once you have removed some of the water from the tank, scoop your fish with the same cup. Take your time and be careful of the fish's fins. If you go really slow, you may be able to get the fish to settle into the cup while it is underwater, and then you can simply lift it straight up. Place the fish into the glass or bowl that you have already filled with tank water. Keep in mind that while doing this you need to make sure the fish doesn't jump out. Bettas are known jumpers, so put a lid on whatever container you are keeping the fish in.
