APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Charles Q. Clay, Judge. Affirmed.

MEMORANDUM OPINION F.T. (Mother) appeals from the juvenile court’s assertion of jurisdiction over her son Aiden T. (born 2009) and the resulting dispositional orders. Aiden’s father has passed away and is not a party to this case. As Mother’s appeal raises only factual issues determined by the substantial evidence rule, we decide it by memorandum opinion pursuant to California Standard of Judicial Administration, section 8.1(3). Aiden has special needs that include autism. On December 16, 2024, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) filed a Welfare and Institutions Code1 section 300 petition concerning Aiden alleging a single count of neglect by Mother pursuant to section 300, subdivision (b)(1)(A). Counsel for Aiden urged the juvenile court to sustain the petition with amendments. Counsel for DCFS asked the court to sustain the petition as pleaded but stated she did not object to the amendments offered by minor’s counsel. Mother’s counsel argued the court should dismiss the petition entirely.
