Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hi .. yep that's some of what I saw too., Initially I thought GABA was working.. with my son things seem to work for a few days and then it all goes " south " . He was crabby, crabby, crabby! The very thing we were trying to fix got worse! He had worse self regulation issues and at times the least little thing with trigger his losing control and nothing would fix it. After his tantrum, he would be calm and tell me exactly what he had done wrong.. but during it there was no way to reach him. This was intermittent and was not his temperament post " loss of diagnosis " .. this developed over a year later. But seems to be leveled out now with the oxytocin nasal spray. I love that stuff! I found several things on oxytocin and autism on the web that I am glad to put on the list if anyone is interested or in the files... not sure if that's OK on this list so maybe Lynne can let me know. I have gotten a lot of private posts about it lately and can't seem to answer them individually. > > > > Hi.
