  • RE: younger sigling displaying symptoms of bad behaviour. Older brother has adha

    Interesting contribution about this product! If they were to make any claims about this I would get on to the advertising standards authority and get some action taken because there will be no evidence that it is an effective treatment for anything.

  • Find certain sounds annoying!

    I stay with my parents on the weekend and I find certain sounds really annoying. Normally I am able to grin and bear it but recently due to a meltdown my sensory processing is a lot harder and I get a bit angry when I hear certain sounds.

  • RE: My son talk in awful way
