What ages are kids being recovered?

[Guest guest]

I have been working on my son who is 5 now since he was 1 1/2, and have

seen many improvements, but he is still fighting autism. What are my

chances of having him fully recovered since he is now 5? Has anyone

done it around this age or later?

we began at 1.5 yrs old also (aggressive - diet at 17 mos.

supplements at 20 mos., valtrex at 24 mos., chelation at

26 mos. etc) - my son turned 6 in July and is nonverbal.

I just keep plugging along.. his puzzle is complicated and

we have never had a specific " wow " with any intervention,

but lots and lots of mini-wows that are all finally

begining to culminate.

Obviously, my son was very sick. I look at the entire

journey these past 5 yrs as building the ultimate

foundation. The gains won't stick, just like a house

won't stand, unless the structure is strong enough to

hold it. I feel like we have finally gotten him to that

place. Toxicity is coming down (after 4 yrs of excreting

metals), viral is starting to purge, and his overall

demeanor is seemingly less autistic. He is happy, healthy,

engaged, funny, sleeping great, pooping great, and

his transitioning is probably better than most NT kids.

He listens, stays with me, and follows all simple commands

nicely. We know he has been learning all these years with

therapy, but b/c he is nonverbal, it is difficult to

really know what he knows (which I believe is A LOT!).

So, this " marathon house " we are building is now ready

for the furnishings... language, cognitive leaps, and

dare I say, socialization and toy play, lol!

I often say, my son is not a " non responder " , he is the

" tortoise responder " ... it may be at a turtles pace,

but we'll get there!

Keep the faith,
