ORGANISATION Over the years, through trial and error, I have formed some organisational skills to help me prepare for trips, assignments, and important dates. This is one method I use for tracking what I need to take when I am visiting family. As I have a very visual pictorial mind, checklists help me in multiple aspects of my life. This is just one of many I use on a daily basis. Without them, my executive functioning issues make it difficult for me to remember what items I need to take for certain events. #AskingAutistics - what are some of your organisational techniques?

On other sperge life-hacks, I just got a really simple, no-frills reminder app called "Reminder" on Android (the logo is a little blue tweety bird like Twitter) and put the widget at the bottom of my phone's main home screen. It shows me all the reminders coming up, and scrolling it is fun to fiddle with so I review my reminders more often. I can add reminders from the widget. Also I found an adorable notification sound which makes me feel better. It's been really helpful in structuring my days. Might be on IPhone too.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Treatment Medication: The Tactical ABA Integration

As a parent of a child on the spectrum, you are likely already a master of the "whole-child" approach. You know that therapy isn't just one thing—it’s a puzzle of behavioral supports, sensory tools, and sometimes, medical intervention. For families navigating a dual diagnosis or the specific challenges of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), finding the right Autism treatment options and therapy often involves a collaborative effort between doctors and behavioral specialists. When the conversation turns to fetal alcohol syndrome treatment medication, it is vital to see it not as a standalone fix, but as a component of a larger strategy.

At Tellos, we strip away the clinical jargon to focus on what matters: how these tools work together to help your child thrive. Here is the tactical breakdown of how medication and ABA therapy team up to build independence.

The Role of Medication in FASD

It is important to start with a clear reality: there is no medication that "cures" FASD. Instead, medication is used as a tactical "floor" to stabilize symptoms that make learning difficult. Because the brain’s "executive suite" is physically impacted in FASD, medication can help lower the noise so your child can hear the lesson.

Stimulants & Non-Stimulants: Often used to address the high-intensity hyperactivity and impulsivity that overlap with ADHD symptoms.

Anti-Anxiety & Mood Stabilizers: Used to help regulate the "fight or flight" response that often leads to meltdowns.

Sleep Supports: Because a regulated nervous system requires high-quality rest.

The Tellos Take: Medication is the tool that stabilizes the foundation; ABA is the tool that builds the house.

How ABA Maximizes the Benefits of Medication

When a child is medically stable, ABA therapy becomes significantly more effective. Here is how we use behavioral strategies to capitalize on that stability:

1. Targeting Executive Functioning

Children with FASD often struggle with "cause and effect." ABA breaks tasks into tiny, repeatable steps. If medication helps your child sit at the table, ABA teaches them the skills to stay there and succeed.

2. Data-Driven Monitoring

One of the biggest benefits of having an ABA team while exploring medication is the data. Your BCBA can track behavior frequency and intensity with surgical precision.

The Benefit: You’ll know within weeks—not months—if a medication change is actually improving your child’s ability to learn or if the side effects are too high.

3. Replacing Behaviors, Not Just Suppressing Them

Medication can reduce the urge to engage in a challenging behavior, but it won't teach a child what to do instead. ABA fills that gap by teaching "replacement behaviors," like using a communication device or asking for a sensory break.

Tactical Questions for Your Care Team

If you are considering medication as part of your child’s FASD treatment plan, bring these direct questions to your next appointment:

"How will we measure the 'Success' of this medication?" (Look for: Specific behavioral markers, not just "he seems calmer.")

"What is the plan for dosage timing?" (Look for: Ensuring the medication is at peak effectiveness during your child's most challenging times, like school or therapy.)

"How do we coordinate with the ABA team?" (Look for: A doctor who is willing to review the data your therapists are already collecting.)

The Bottom Line

At Tellos, we believe your child isn't a list of symptoms; they are a person with a unique way of learning. Whether you are using comprehensive autism therapy resources or medical supports for FASD, the goal is the same: providing the right "operating system" for your child’s brain.

You handle the heart of the home; we’ll help you navigate the strategy.
