Guest guest Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I don't understand why so many MD's, especially DAN Docs, think that just because my son gives some eye contact, throws a little charm and might answer a question or two...means somehow he's not really THAT autistic and any and all refusal of taking his medications and supplements are all my fault??? Can you believe this? Anyone else have this happen? What did you do? My LLMD (the one I'm seeing for myself) was trying to talk loudly to my 5 yr old ASD son as if he was DEAF and said " Are you going to be a good boy and take your medicine? If you don't then you're going to get shots! What's it going to be? Shots or medicine? " I just sat there and froze to see if he'd actually respond which verbally he can't because he's not that far along for one. Two, he's barely learning to go to the bathroom without a diaper and can barely say the alphabet or read numbers...he has NO CLUE what the doctor is saying and my poor lil guy was just looking at me like, " what the? " then he shy'd away and hid behind me. What am I going to do? How much more do I need to prove to these doctors that no matter how much I have sacrificially done everything in my power to coerce, bribe, force, or ignore, gently suggest or happily do the 'mommy song and dance' over every stinkin' food or supplement...it doesnt matter!! He will NOT take it. He cries and cries so much with such FEAR that nothing I can do will help. Just so you all understand, my son has been in and out of the hospital since he was born. He nearly died at 8 mos old and since then has never been the same boy. He's been so traumatized with needles, probes, xrays, ultrasounds, medications, diet changes, specialty XYZ .... that he's just fed up. ly I am too. I'm doing the very best I can but I honestly can't do this anymore. I don't want to do IV out of 'convenience' if that makes any sense. Nothing is convenient about poking my baby over and over again let alone at all. The doc referred me to take my son to some 'spiritual bioenergy healer' gal but I'm not into that. I'm a Christian and believe strongly in faith and healing and bioenergy science all makes perfect sense to me but I'm not going to let a shaman work on my son. Sorry I draw the line there and if anyone here has done this for themselves or their kids I am absolutely not passing judgment, this is just a personal thing for me. Basically the doc wants me to get some spiritual work done on him first before we treat him and I get where he's coming from...he wants to help deal with the deeper level stuff about releasing fear and helping take his meds, etc. but I'm not going to do that just to prove that my son may or may not respond to that treatment. I'm trying to save money for meds, not spread it out over experimental, non-essential therapy. Anyone else with extremely difficult, non-cooperative autistic children that DO NOT take their medications? What did you do? Thanks for helping this very stressed out mom! AHHHHG!
