Doing for a year - no improvements

[Guest guest]

My son is almost 8 and has been doing for a year. I had my heart set on

this because it makes absolute sense to me. But are no improvements. He has

still not picked up any language - has not improved on his LOUD vocal stims and

muscle tense/hand rubbing stims (don't know how to explain this) I have not

found anyone on this board with a similar kid so I am doubtful that this is

helping. is on celexa/acyclovir/immunovir/wellbutrin/tenex/ketaconazole

and into his 3rd week on erytab. He's 100% on the diet/we keep up our reports to

Dr G and have our phone consult next week. I am tempted to ask him how to ween

off of all this. I know he will discourage me but I don't see any light in this

tunnel. I know that no one else is helping our kids and Dr G is on top of the

research in the American Pediatric Community for autism. But these prescriptions

are not doing anything. I am considering stem cells and homeopathy as other

options. I know there is no research behind either of these but I can't stand

trying all of these medications on him with absolutely no help. In the section

where we report improvements - it is always a guessing game for me and I feel

obliged to write something - possibly sleeping better but then 2 nights later he

is up again at 3am. Dr G. asks me if there is any light in his eyes but there

isn't he is probably (I hate to say it) but worse.

Sorry I know this is a forum which celebrates how much Dr G does for our kids

but it isn't happening for me and I am so sad about it. My heart aches. I mean

day after day. I would think that a year would be enough time to know if things

will get better and it hasn't. It was exactly Jan 2010 during School Christmas

break that we first met Dr G. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
