Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Hi , Someone mentioned this to me a few months ago -- I had never heard this theory before, so I did some digging and this is what I found. Here is a study that was done in 1993 -- http://www.efsumb.org/litrev1a.htm Please note that " the results from the present study should be viewed cautiously. The authors do not refer either to the indication for the original ultrasound exposure, nor is there any information about the duration or type of ultrasound examination. It is possible that the results found could reflect a greater clinical concern for disorders that can cause delayed speech in the exposed group than in the control group.

I've never heard about a link between them and autism or apraxia or ADHD (or whatever) and am wondering if anyone has heard anything to link them. It's just a crazy idea...based on nothing, really, other than skyrocketing rates of childhood disorders at the same time that these procedures are becoming routine (last few decades). I'm thinking that possibly they could affect the senses of the fetus and cause some problems--since so many children seem to have sensory integration disorder. Not scientific, I know, but plausible, I guess. I'm not suggesting that they are linked (lots of things have increased in the last few decades and i'm sure they're not all causing problems)...just questioning to see if anyone knows anything about this subject.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Funny you should mention this. I have always wondered about this. is the only one of my 4 children that I had a ultrasound done with. Early in the pregnacy I had one done, at that time they could not see what I wanted to know, the sex!! I found out about a school in my area that was looking for models & I went there to be a model. LOL! Funny they called it that when you look more like a, hmmm beached whale. Anyways I signed my life away and four students each found out that there was a boy in that round belly. Along with all the other things they measure and look for. Of course I always wonder about all the things that went wrong with his pregnacy, early labor, medication, poor diet, sick to him being born early. He was also very jaundiced for weeks in the beginning & kept losing weight until he was about a month old??? So for me there will always be the, I wonder??? Not that I am trying to blame anyone like some might take this for, just wondering if any of these things might have contributed to the cause. But I no longer focus much on these things since is doing so well these days. A year ago it was a different story, nonverbal, today 5 - 6 word sentences. We all just keep moving on looking back only to help another parent where we were at one time!! Best wishes to all on this list as we head into the holiday season & give thanks. For some the are thanks that are endless!!! God Bless Tammy I. in FL mom to apraxic 4.7, 6 1/2 , 18 & 21 [ ] Just wondering About sonograms/ultrasounds.

I was where you are now about 5 yrs. ago. I wish I could say there was some easy solution. Over time we were able to change our job situation which took care of a lot of problems(easier said than done). We ended up changing jobs and careers more than once to make life with our kids a little easier. We definitely had to put luxuries like cars with AC/heat, new carpet(we had just concrete on one floor for 10 years) for awhile. At first it was even harder than before, but eventually it has paid off. Being tired used to really hurt my perspective on our situation with 4 kids and 3 with diagnoses. A sense of humor--sometimes hard to find--really helps. Finding a church with good support for our family was very difficult, but it helped as well. Ignoring people who didn't understand is difficult, but necessary--they don't really know what you are going through. Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 The only thing we used was rubbing alcohol (both the 70% and the 91%). However, some people say to have hydracortizone cream and Aquaphor on hand. Some also say a good smelling shampoo (we like J & J's Soothing Naturals and the Lavendar Night time). I can't think of anything else but hopefully others have their input too. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi everyone... I seem to have caught a cold. Since our mold exposure, everytime I catch a cold, my body aches, neck gets stiff, mucous is (ok this is nasty) bloody and brown, headachey and the worst sore throat. This is the 3rd cold I've had since July 1st 2008. Do any of you experience such severity when you get sick since your exposure??? Thanks...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 My son was 5 yrs old. The diagnosis can change. Originally we were told Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and PTSD. I stalled on seeing the psychiatrist for a bit and amped up the interventions for his medical issues and talk therapy. His official diagnosis ended up being Asperger's with recovering PTSD. He has recovered from OCD, and no longer has GAD, either. > > How old was your child when they were diagnosed with autism?

I think kids with classic autism are usually dx'd as toddlers or even babies, as they are more obvious with the speech delays. If the school would have done child find like they are supposed to, he would have been dx'd around age 9. It took me that long to figure out what to do to get it figured out!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 The first at 3 yo and the second we knew he had autism by age 15 months or so but did not get the official dx until age 3 as the doc wanted to wait until then. But it was just a formality since we knew already. RoxannaYou're UniqueJust like everyone else... ( ) Just Wondering How old was your child when they were diagnosed with autism?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Our son was 12 when he was diagnosed. Also, if school would have listened to me when I started noticing things when he was 7...! I am glad we now have the answer, we received the official diagnoses last year, he was 12 1/2. He feels better about himself too. We live in the Netherlands and things are a little different here. The school receives extra money to help him. He now meets with a person (not sure if this is a psychologist) who is specialized in autism. And his homeroom teacher spends extra time on him, to make sure he understand his homework assigments. Outside of school he is in a class on autisme. this will runs 12 meetings. It will start the end of the month. I have heard very good things about it. We have tried the diet, did see very good signs in the beginning but after the summer vacation he quit. He needs to be motivated to get back on the diet... hard at 13! He did love reading the book by Luke . Very interesting and for us as parents, very clear in explaining the Asperger Syndrom. I feel blessed that is the way he is. He is a mild manored kid with no major outbursts. Though he sometimes gets very frustrated, esp now he is in puberty. But we have found ways to deal with that. I do think that our middle son is the one that is paying for it. Beacuse he is very smart and very cleaver, he will just do his thing, needs no help... etc. Therefor we don't pay him enough attention... Guess the guilt will always be there..
