Hi Margaret

If it makes you feel any better, my experience with Adam and puberty

is the opposite. He is making good progress, although I do have a bit

of a on occassions, e.g. he always bangs his bedroom door shut,

sometimes in my face! Wants to stay up all night and sleep all

morning. Very very teenage, with teenage grumpiness for no apparent

reason sometimes. Testing his boundaries within the limits imposed by

his disability and being stuck at home bored mostly. But no loss of

skills - no regression as I see it. Very good improvements in

behaviour in fact.

Most significantly, he has recently increased his verbal responses,

in frequency and clarity, to 1 and even 2 words, unprompted, and

different words to any question I might use. This is amazing me and

everybody else who knows him has noticed and commented the same,

without being asked.

I am interested in what Anita said about longer term treatments being

necessary when dealing with viruses, bacteria, fungi etc. The *only*

thing I am doing different (he's on bare minimum of supps since money

ran out and Tribunal etc) is long term antibiotics for his acne,

started before Chrismas, and ongoing. Now is this a coincidence or is

it related to the dramatic increase in speech? I do not know.

Normally, when treating infections etc, a course of antibiotics is

time limited, so he has not had long term use before. It is of a

mild varitety so as not to upset his gut too much - minocycline.

Has anybody else here on the list tried it?
