Re: One of the moments that makes you proud

[Guest guest]

Hi Marcia.

 

That is a great story.  Good for for helping this kid out where a lot of

other kids would

have just ignored him. He takes after his Mom.

 

Take care.

Hi list mates,

Just wanted to share one of the encouraging stories. The kind that makes us

proud of any of our kids when we are parents. is in a fraternity at

school. About a year ago when I was up for parent's weekend there was a

dinner from the fraternity for all the parents and kids. There was one

fraternity brother in particular who kind of followed around. and

I exchanged a knowing glance from across the dinner table that this kid was

touched. (Our own terminology for a someone who is a member of the A-club).

later explained this kid always wants to be his friend. I of course

went into mom mode and said you better be his friend because you remember

what it was like to not have any. He assured me he is always nice to this

kid but just last week he really proved it to me. Some of the fraternity

guys were complaining that this particular fraternity brother was weird and

annoying. got up in front of the entire fraternity and explained

things to them. He told the entire fraternity about his autism. He

explained how this kid was medically ill and they needed to show compassion.

He must of done a good job because one of his brothers asked him if he would

speak about his own autism in one his classes. and I are leaving this

morning to go see him speak.

When was stressed out last week about all the work college is, I told

him not to worry so much about grades and that coursework is just a blip in

the thing we call life. I went on to say I don't care if you don't get

straight A's and to stop pushing himself so hard. I also told him the thing

that makes me most proud is not his grades, but when he does things like he

did for his fraternity brother. That was a measure of a real man and I am

so proud of him. It was one of those moments in life that makes us realize

our kids are something special.

Best,

Marcia

Marcia,

I also was very encouraged to hear this story about your son, . I would be

very interested if you could share some of his story of recovery. He obviously

has improved to a degree that he is able to be in college, a part of a

fraternity and then able to speak out in front of the group. My son who is 25

was in college but his overwhelming anxiety and brain fog caused him to drop

out. We are working hard with Dr. 's protocol to recover him so that he

can go back and have  the " college life " he longs for.

Thank you!

Lyn

That was a perfect story for all of us! Thank you so much for sharing!

Okay so we just got back from 's university. Betty wanted me to report

in on how 's talk went. spoke in front of more than 100 psychology

kids about his autism. He did great! He is such a great kid and I am so

lucky to be his mom. When I was in the middle of what all of you are going

through, I never could have imagined him as he is today. He was just so

weird and hard back then. I hope all your kids get there. They may drive

you insane now, but know there is hope for the future. I think did

much to help the cause by speaking at this class and showing them how kids

can recover and how this is not psychiatric developmental disorder but is a

medical disease.

First, an administrator from a rehab/group home spoke. She explained the

typical definition of what autism is and then told what her organization

does with rehabilitation. Then spoke. It should have ended with a dad

who is a Judge with a 24 year old kid (not recovered) talking about how hard

our lives are with these kids and how it affects the entire family. Neither

speaker knew anything about the medical at all. They were both so educated

as people, and yet so wrong about what autism is. That's when I asked the

moderator if I could say a few words, I felt compelled to get up and speak

about how it is medical. It makes me sad that so many still don't get it,

especially the professionals who are supposed to be there to help parents.

After I told what a great job he did I asked him how I did. I thought

he would say that I was funny and held their interest but he didn't. He

said I did okay but I was a bit too " Strident " I didn't know what that

meant, so I asked him to explain. He said I came on a bit too strong. At

first I felt a bit bad because sometimes I am a bit opinionated and try hard

not to be that way. But after I thought about things, I had to laugh that

my autistic son was filling in the holes in my vocabulary and teaching me

the correct way to act. Isn't he something?

Part of our entourage was our two dogs who are so fun. I almost feel like I

am reliving part of raising and with these too. Luke (Skywalker

his complete name) reminds me of when he was little, very anxious,

smart, and nerdy. While Marty (Mc Fly) is reincarnated (very

socially gifted). He has the world by the tail and loves every dog and

person he meets. The dogs came with us to the lecture since we had no place

to leave them. Luke had to come up front to talk with me. Everyone thought

that was very funny. While this was going on our other dog Marty (McFly )

was traveling around the auditorium getting everyone to pet him. It was a

wonderful moment in time and I will always remember how much did for

others that day.

Best,

Marcia

Never tested for heavy metals but it is my understanding that an immune

system that is working takes care of secondary issues like gut problems etc.

They are just a symptom of the bigger immune issue and Dr. G goes straight

to the source of the issues.
