Not Sameness, what's helping my daughter now.

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Lots of turmoil in my life currently, so it's been a while since I

have looked at the board messages. About a year ago, my daughters'

anxiety level was really peaking. She was eight and getting so

frustrated in class that she started slapping kids who annoyed her by

sitting next to her. I was shocked and really nervous that this would

get her kicked out of class. Long story short, I found a local

Chinese herbalist and acupuncturist that had previously studied and

practiced in China for many years. She has been giving my daughter

herbs that I boil into a tea. The tea keeps her calm and helps her

sleep at night. She still needs Melatonin to get her to sleep, but

the tea she has daily helps her stay asleep.

And the acupuncture helps her digestion and emotions. Done correctly,

the needles don't cause pain. She has them on top of her forearm and

hand. And very recently, the doctor has done the inside of her

forearm, because there are specific points for speech. We have only

done these two times so far, but I will let you all know how it goes

in the future if you're interested.

My daughters' calmness has allowed her to attend a more advanced

(public school) class for autistic kids. Most all the kids in her

current class talk which is great for her to be around. The staff

tells me that my daughter is the est worker in the class. I attribute

it in large part to her calmer state of mind. That and the fact that

she's a GREAT KID!!

Hope this helps.

I have also wanted to add for awhile that Jin Shin seems to help my daughter and

other kids (and me too !) It is a type of high touch acupressure. No needles

just touching. The clinic where my kids get OT also offers this and they have

trainings for the parents. I have also done it on my parents and sister in law

and they all felt it was helpful.

That reminds me...my mom is a massage and Bowen therapist...she wanted

to know if I knew anyone who had tried Bowen therapy for their ASD

kids, or if that was something people might be interested in.

http://www.bowentherapy.com/

Anyway, you all know I'm a skeptic when it comes to this sort of

thing, but so is my mom and she swears it works, even though she

didn't believe it when she started taking the classes for it. She used

to get weekly or biweekly migraines, but since she learned Bowen, she

has eliminated 90% of her headaches, which is pretty amazing. Anyway,

just wanted to throw that out there, and if anyone is in the Atlanta,

GA area and wants to let my mom try to treat their kids, let me know,

lol.Not as an " autism " treatment, but for specific health issues like

digestive problems etc.

That is great to hear somebody mention Jin Shin. I

have been studying it for a while now. I bought myself

books on it originally to help myself years before I

ever even found out about autism in my life or had

even heard of autism. I have had terrible hip and tail

bone problems and had to have a chiropracter stick his

finger up my backside and rebreak my tail bone and set

it back into place. The pain I had been experiencing

finally ceased from that proceedure and though most

feel pain when they think of that happening to them,

when you were in as much pain as I had been, that was

the best feeling of relief other than finally having

your baby out after delivery that I can explain.

ANyhow, I got sidetracked ... this chiropractor also

practised Jin Shin and he told me about it and though

I did not have any money to pay him to preform it on

me more than once, it defiantely made a difference

from the one time he did it on me, so he taught me a

few techniques and sold me a book on it.

And so for years I have been self teaching myself to

do Jin Shin. I have found online classes for free, I

have found books in libraries etc. and have had great

success with it. I know I would have far better

success if I dedicated more time to it, but for every

effort I have put in to it, I have gotten out of it.

When my had a fever of 105*F and the ER sent me

home after giving her both the Max dosage of Tylenol

and Ibuprofen and they said that was all they could

do. My husband and I waited and waited and the

medacine did not work. Her fever raged through the

night and I was terrified that she would have brain

damage or die or something. I hadn't done Jin shin in

a very long time, but a prompting came to me to get my

book. My hubby searched for it and found it and we

found the directions for fevers.

I placed my hands on her shoulder blades and held her

and within 15 minutes the fever went down to 99*F

I held her and set her down so she could sleep and

then said a prayer of gratitude. Then my husband being

skeptical, said, " Ah the medicine finally kicked in,

it had nothing to do with that wacky stuff " .

Just then our daughter began having a seizure and

shaking and we checked her fever and it had gone back

up to 106 this time. Not having time to discuss who

was right or wrong, my husband said, " alright try your

voodoo magic, anything to make her better "

I held her and put my hands on her shoulder blades

again and again within 15-20 minutes the fever was

cack down to 99*F.

He looked at me in amazement and said outloud, " Ok

God, I believe! " The only thing is, every time I let

go, her fever shot right back up. SO I held her all

through the night with my arms on her shoulderblades.

I didn't get an ounce of sleep and it seemed like the

longest night. Just as I finally dozed off at about

7am. I felt her squiggle out from under me. I sat up

and opened my eyes and she was as bright and chipper

as ever and running around the room getting into stuff

as usual, and her temperature was back to her

typically low 96*F.

I had never been so happy to have my child destroying

my house and up so early when I hadn't gotten any

rest. But, it worked.

I attribute many experiences like that since then to

Jin Shin and God leading me to finding it.

I need to get back into it again. It has been a while,

but I was able to control my morning sickness with my

son by using Jin Shin on myself, and able to get rid

of the hiccups and able to help my hubby's knee pain

that keeps falring up from his surgery 8 yrs ago, and

more.

Just had to share my good story on that, when I was

reminded of Jin Shin. Thanks for bringing it up
