When a professional states, "Your child has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)", it is enough to make your whole world fall apart. What does it mean to be on the autism spectrum? How will this affect your child's life, your life, the life of your family, and others you interact with? What sorts of medications, therapies, and alternative methods are used to help manage the disorder? What are the financial and legal ramifications? How will this affect schooling, your spiritual growth, and everyday life? These are just a few of the questions that will rapidly cross your mind.

Caring for Autism: Practical Advice from a Parent and Physician delves into all these questions and more. As the father of a daughter with ASD and as a trained psychiatrist who specializes in ASD, Dr. Michael A. Ellis provides a holistic view of what comes after diagnosis. In user-friendly tones, he answers the most commonly asked questions about what it's actually like to live with ASD, what medications and therapies are available, and the global impact it has on the child's environment. With the help of his wife, Lori Layton Ellis, to provide a mother's perspective, Dr. Ellis shares personal stories of their 10-year journey in order to provide insight and support for anyone - patient, parent, caregiver - traversing the difficulties of autism.

Works great.
Color: Blue+red
I love how easy this children’s dental floss is. My child with ASD is able to use with little to no help. it’s been years trying to get my child with sensory sensitivities to floss or brush teeth without a HUGE STRUGGLE, however this is very gentle and something that makes our oral health care routine smoother. ( if you know, you know!!) It is very similar to the viral “ usmile” adult version water flossers. My only complaint/issue with this is that it collapse pretty easily and sometimes it’s hard to keep in the locked position while flossing teeth. Overall a good product, and recommend.?

Great for dental appliances
Color: Pink+purple
My daughter has a dental appliance that can get food caught in it. We were told to try a water flosser to get the trapped food out. This has done exactly that. Very happy with it.

Fun new way of flossing.
Color: Blue+red
My 7 year old loves it and it works really well. He’s excited about teeth brushing time again accompanied by water flosser and it can be used in the shower!
