Wow! These sound like some huge improvements Bev!

I myself completely understand your efforts and I don't think it sounds like

you are trying to rid your daughter of Autism but rather just allow her to

be more self suffient and the best that she can possibly be! I don't see

anything wrong with that at all.

I think as parents we just have to do what we think is best for our

children. Regardless of if they have Autism or not. Our choices and what we

think is best may not always end up being the best, but that has nothing to

do with Autism, just proves that none of us are perfect or have all the

answers, we can only do the best we can with the information we have.

Kudos to you for giving this medication a try and really seeing some

improvements in Jen!

HUGE HUGS to you!!!
