Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 I live in ville and was told that Parkway elementary has a program as well one elementary school in Carrollton. I just got diagnosed in January and started a ABA program for our 32 month old . She is eligible to go into program at 3 but right now I want to check it out and see how much 1-1 teaching she will receive before I decide.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 <prozac> Prozac has gluten, so if you are doing the diet, it'll cause problems. If not, though, then it might work for her. *not a major med expert, but has a few tidbits of info once in a while* Kassiane *Not all autism is the same. April is Autism Awareness Month.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Hi, We have used Prozac (now using Celexa) for years. I believe it has helped with 's sleep, but I don't think it changed her language abilities. We started using it because had a lot of irrational fears/anxiety. Rhonda (unknown) > Hi all, I have a question.... I have an appointment for my Skyler later this month with a developmental ped. What I want to talk with her about is meds. for Skyler. The only thing we have tried with her is DMG, with no change what-so-ever. Her biggest problem is speech, and some sleep issues. I know several others with their young kids on prozac (Skyler was 4 in Dec.) and I have heard of no bad reactions to it, just positive. I have hesitated to put her on meds. as it kinda scares me with her being so young, however, I am up for anything that may help with her speech and sleep issues. I am willing to try meds. now. I just don't know what to try first. Prozac is what I have heard most about. Have any of you had any experience with Prozac? thanks in advance........... > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 though I have heard of wonderful things happening with diet, I have known more that have had no reaction to it then positive. the diet is not something, though never say never, right?, that I am not considering at this time. Skyler has never had any problems with her bowels, eating issues of any kind. she eats a variety of foods, nothing she is obsessed over and has never had the leaky gut problems that others have had. I am sure the diet is wonderful for those having gas, leaky gut, bowel problems, ect., but don't think it would do us any good without those problems. Which is why I am interested in trying another approach for my Skyler............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Penny, thank-you for the article on nutrition. I read it through and it did give me some " food for thought " . (sorry about the pun!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Donelle, thanks for your inquirey about my Skyler. She has never had an ear infection, or fluid, problem in her ears. The school system here did send her to have her hearing checked before they put her in the school program, and all was well. She does seem to hear well as even a whisper (as I conducted my own tests!) will cause her to turn around. She has great eye contact when spoken to, but does not respond verbally. She is in an all day public pre-school through our county. The class has 6 kids, all autistic pre-schoolers, and a wonderful teacher. Some of the children verbal, some not, and gets 30 min. a week of speech at school. Have just changed insurances to be able to get her more private therapy as we ran through all our other would do for her, which was not much, two months " per incident " was what they gave her, so she only has gotten two months of formal therapy and the school therapy has also just started as I had to get it put in her IEP. So I hope she will make speech progress through all this. She does not do alot of stimming, though she does line toys up on accasion. her main lack is in speech..........

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Elaine, I may have worded my email not quite right about speech and prozac. speech is just her biggest issue, which is why I threw that in there. Prozac, from what I understand, just kinda calms them down so they can focus better on the task at hand, all be it speech, school work, relief from aggitation, ect. Though I am not sure, which is why I am taking her to a developmental ped. and posed the question to the group about any experience with prozac, or for that matter any other drug as I am interested in possibly trying something, though I have just started researching this topic, and am not sure it is the right path for her yet... have you had any experience with prozac?

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Okay, I understand now. No, I haven't any experience with Prozac. We have on risperdal and just recently added clonidine. It helps but I am not sure we have found the magic pill yet. LOL! It slows her down but I am not sure it is enough, yk! She does much better on it though. Let me know what the dr says.
