I have only seen the test scores of one other of his peers locally and they are completely opposite of my ds's test scores. The other aspies are extremely talkative guys who have no problem talking to me as if they've known me 100 years. My ds would never do that. It takes a long time for him to warm up to someone and of course, then he can talk a lot, but he doesn't use big words or various explainations, he simply repeats the same things over and over again. The aspies I have had talk to me go on and on about the same subject but they usually have a variety of factoids to share. Writing papers is also an area of difference. My ds had to be taught to write a paragraph last year. A sentence is a problem for him. The other aspies here are good at writing and expression. Getting up to even talk to the class is okay to them but my ds wouldn't do that without a lot of work and coaching. Granted, the aspies write best when it's their own topic of interest. But that's not true for my ds at all. One big observation is to say that the aspies tend to walk around with their " aspiness " hanging all around them. My ds holds it all inside. His behaviors will pop out, of course. But the aspies he has been around seem to have theirs out front to start with. Just observations, nothing scientific.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hi everyone, I am a 35 year old mother of two, still breastfeeding my 11 month old. I am intrigued by CR and want to start (slowly because of my nursing infant). I have come to the conclusion that I should try to give up grains for now, and work on calorie reduction later. I was interested to read some of you discussing not eating grains. I don't mean this to be a permanent elimination of grains from my diet--just until I lose weight. I will take a B vitamin. MOST of my kcals are from grains and refined sugar. (I am so hesitant to confess this.) Not the best diet. Fifteen years ago, I limited my kcals/day to 1400 (which was probably a low estimate), and weighed 125. Now I weigh much more, and 3 months ago started on thyroid medication (armour thyroid). I think switching to all eggs, milk products, nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables will be a positive change for me. I am not interested in eating meat on a routine basis. If anyone has anything else to say on the avoidance of grains, please do so! Thanks, Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Are you confusing us with another board? We have a file on the benefits of whole grains which relate to long life and good health. There was a recent post by that she limits her grains to one or two servings a day. But completely eliminating a whole food group may be not such a good idea. Trying to substitute vitamins is not the same thing as getting it from the food itself. Why not start the way we suggest in the files? See the " Beginning CRON " folder and the files in it which tell you exactly how to start off. Also, I would wait til your nursing days are over. on 5/16/2004 10:12 PM, jeannechristensen2002 at jeannechristensen2002@... wrote: > If anyone has anything else to say on the avoidance of grains, please > do so! > > Thanks, > Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi , Welcome to the list. Many here chelate without a doc, DAN or otherwise. You're in the right place. Please read and ask questions. A good place to start is with a DDI hair analysis and apply counting rules, or post so others can help with the counting rules. That will help you determine what toxic metals you're dealing with. S S new person Posted by: " slknall " sknall@... slknall Sun Sep 23, 2007 7:53 pm (PST) Hi - I'm really just introducing myself and exploring options. my son was diagnosed with ASD almost 4 years ago, he was most recently diagnosed with Aspergers. He has HUGE food sensitivity issues and we have done GF/CF before which ended in him losing weight because he wouldnt eat anything. I do think he is at a crossroads now and would like to explore my options. I have had a very bad experience with a DAN doctor, so am a bit gun shy. I feel like I should start with baby-steps, but maybe that is just for my benefit. My son's biggest issues are attending, rigidity and sensory. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Forgive my naivete, but I asked my regular ped. for a note that would get me the DDI hair analysis and she didn't think it was necessary, of course she didn't. She als said she couldn't, in good conciensce recommend getting it done because she didn't buy in to the " whole mercury pandemonium " . So, without telling me to first get a new doctor , can someone recommend a next step? I went to the DDI site and they said they needed a note.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 If you go to www.directlabs.com, you can order a hair test without a doctor. Look for the Hair Elements test. -- > > Forgive my naivete, but I asked my regular ped. for a note that would > get me the DDI hair analysis and she didn't think it was necessary, > of course she didn't.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 You can order the test yourself without a doc through Direct Lab Services. If you mention this list they'll give you a discount. It's trickier if you live in NYS.
