Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 I, too, am interested in a medical ID bracelet for my 4-year-old son. Last May he finally was diagnosed as high-functioning autistic. Ever since he could walk, his impulsive running and touching have at times scared the hell out of me. Many times I would have appreciated hitching him to a humane harness.... By the way, at 6 months he'd lost speech following vaccinations; it was 8 months before he said " mama " again. He also has a patch of unformed tissue on his right prefrontal cortex that has decreased over 2 years. The neurologist had prescribed tegretol following febrile seizures, but we quit dosing after my Andy suffered wild mood swings. We are lucky -- my little guy is getting therapy, has responded to vitamin supplements, and I hope to test and chelate him before the year is out.

I would start with contact the Chief of Police and Chief of the Fire Dept and set up meetings with them. Bring Mathew along so that they can meet him. Explain what autism is, make them aware that his responses may be different than other children and request that they make all the members of each department aware of the where you live, of Mathew's special circumstance and that they will have to take his differences into account when and if they have an opportunity to deal with him. Love Dad As for the police I would make up his own picture ID card, perhaps one for each police cruiser. You can make them on your computer or have a store (office max/staples) make them up and have them laminated. Just a few thoughts. Just one other thought, I would go to the neighbors and clue them in. Tell them about your child and if they ever see the child wandering off alone, please take the child under control and notify me. Give them all info as to how to contact youZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz utiemom4 wrote:Has anyone heard anything more about them?

This suggests there are 2 separate issues, and unless your doc's really understand that they are going to have a horribly difficult time treating him. >The neurologist had prescribed tegretol following febrile > seizures, but we quit dosing after my Andy suffered wild mood swings. Try hydrogenated fat exclusion. Also, tegretol messes with adrenal function. Depakote messes with thyroid but not adrenal function - if the mood swings were related to adrenal insufficiency depakote might be OK. > > We are lucky -- my little guy is getting therapy, has responded to > vitamin supplements, and I hope to test and chelate him before the > year is out. > > Hokkanen, Minn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 -HI ... the site was...www.n-styleid.com and yes, after the near fatal car wreck the family suffered on the way to AZ in November. I thought it important that Nick wear something that lists his DX, his meds and his allergies. If something were to happen to hubby and myself, we need Nicks medical care to at least know whats hes got going on. It just arrived before xmas...Nick chose a blue band with puppy dog paws on it.. then theres a little med alert with a black symbol that slides onto the strap. His info is engraved on the back of this. Total cost including shipping was under $40 which is well worth it for my peice of mind... They do have some really cute ladies ones....
