Feeling discouraged over reggression and behavioral issues over the summer

[Guest guest]

My son is 11 years old and been treating with Dr. Golderg since he was 3

years old. (Although we have seen lots of improvement in his condition

he was completed non verbal when he went on his 1st visit to Dr.

Goldgerg) He progress seems to have leveled off over the past few years

and he seems never quite 100% and he has shown some major regression

this summer. Only wanting to watch DVDs playing the same parts over and

over. Lots of hitting and even some biting when he becomes upset and I

place him in time out. Time outs are what I ussually use although they

are not always sucessful but I do not know what else to try.

Although his blood work is usually pretty good his allergies are often

up and I have to be honest in saying that I have never really kept my

son on the Diet strictly as he is a picky eater and mainly eats lots of

Carbs. Could his diet be that big of an issue?

When I read all the sucess stories about other kids I think maybe I

should doing some other treatmetns along with Dr Goldberg's. I have

always considered ABA but Dr. Goldberg is so against it. Would ABA work

on my son who is 11 and how much and how long would he need it? My son

in a lifeskills class and will be in the 5th grade this year. I am

terrified about the idea of my son in a Junior High School setting. He

does attend social studies and then some large group classes with the

typical kids at school.

Is anyone else in my same shoes are did everyone elses kids improve much

faster and more completely? I am trying to keep the faith but his

progress has become soooo slow. Any suggetions or ideas would be

greatly appreciated.
