Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Wow, great information - as we are still on the waiting list for getting therapy help from the school district and state, I really want to start something to help my ds's communication first: he already derived a couple of his own sign language, and knows to give us a picture cue for what he wants. Guess I will investigate more on both fields, to help him better. Thanks for the tips. Re: newbie here My dd picked up sign language so easily but had no interest in PECS (pictures) A really cool idea with learning sign language with kids is videos we have _www.signingtime.com_ (http://www.signingtime.com) tapes and my girl loves em! She uses over 125 signs now! She actually out learned a speech therapist so we had to get her another. Shes almost 4 1/2 and still not talking so the signs are important. The teachers in her class play the tapes for all the kids to learn and they all love em! Even those that are vocal can learn this second language! Its not difficult just different. Most make sense, the signs that is. And remember most of our kids arent exact with their hand movements so they sign but not perfectly but its amazing to have a conversation with ur child and it not being vocal. Like at the stores I can tell her to stop or no or put that down or something and I dont have to say it a hundred time and other parents look at me wondering why I cant control my child instead they are amazed that she knows sign language and wish want to teach their kids too!! btw I am in no way connected to signing time or make anything from referring peeps there. The PECS board we made ourselves. We just used a polariod camera and took pictures of the basics to start and stuck them on a board in the main room so she could come pull them off and show me. Guess it just took work for her to walk over and look thru the pictures to find what she wants. Good luck!!!!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Lena *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 > You know- a lady that i met recently asked my about yeast when she saw mason scratching in his diaper area. This is a common sign of yeast overgrowth http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm > I bought the enzymes this morning.the AFP and no Phenol. i am hopeful that this is the right path for us. does i start him on a full dose... work my way up to a dose? what IS the dose i give to a baby? I would start with 1/4 capsule of ONE of the enzymes. Work up to maybe 1/2 capsule, then start 1/4 capsule of the other one and work up to 1/2 capsule. > you mentioned a die off reaction? how will i know? will he get sick to his stomach? Sometimes. It depends on how much enzyme you use, and what foods cause him problems. No-Fenol can also help with yeast. > i have removed him from dairy once, but i put him back on.... how lond does it typically take to see a difference? About 3 days, provided that he is not eating OTHER foods that also cause problems. Milk and wheat intolerance are commonly seen together. >>easy would be to take pictures of everything he may think to ask for. Write them all down first so you remember each. Take pictures of everything from his favorite cup to him giving you a hug. That way he can give you a picture of what he wants. You can glue a magnet to each and put them on the fridge or just put them somewhere he can get to them. This is a simplified PECS program that is commonly used with any kids who are non verbal. I started with this sort of PECS system. It theoretically works well, but my son was so low functioning he did not understand that a picture could be a representation of an object. However, this type of system works well for most non-verbal kids. >>I know the P is for picture and the E is for exchange, can't remember the other two letters though! Picture exchange communication system. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 >Eczema is commonly caused by food intolerance. Sometimes enzymes >help, sometimes not. My adopted son has eczema also. It is on his cheeks, arms and legs (basically any body part that shows when he is wearing shorts and a tank top. It became more noticable when we started him on the 3 HN enzymes, but I assumed it was because he was having yeast die-off. He has been on the enzymes for well over a month now but the eczema isn't getting any better. Should I wait longer or try something different?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I would try removing egg for four days and see if it improves. Also, cod liver oil (Kirkman's 800-245-8282) helps most children.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 >>It became more noticable when we started him on the 3 HN enzymes, This can be for 3 reasons: 1. Enzyme adjustment period, typically 3 weeks. 2. Does not tolerate one or more of the enzymes. Check the labels for papain and/or bromelain, they are the ingredients that are commonly not tolerated. 3. Still eating foods not tolerated, that the enzymes don't address.

He is tube fed so gets exactly the same food day-in and day-out. He has always had eczema, could this mean he has always had an intolerance for something in Pediasure? The eczema was hardly noticeable until we started the HN enzymes. It still isn't real bad, but is more noticible visually only. He doesn't scratch or anything at it. I could try the cod liver oil to see if that will help. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi Carolyn, Welcome to the group! Thanks for the intro. :-) How is PJ adjusting to his new band? Has your son ever been checked for torticollis? Torticollis is a tight neck muscle, you can learn more about it here: http://www.pedisurg.com/PtEduc/Torticollis.htm http://www.drhull.com/EncyMaster/T/torticollis.html I ask that b/c you say he favors one side, that's one indication of tort. Plagio and tort go hand in hand. I hope you'll post pics of your little cutie.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Carolyn, Good luck tomorrow! You won't regret the decision. Our 4 year old son was banded from 5- 8 months of age. He was on the severe side but got amazing correction. Our new pediatrician doesn't believe he had anything wrong with him since he looks so great! Our newest addition, Cecelia, started getting flat this summer. Instead of getting better it was getting worse as she aged. She so also got a DOC Band two weeks ago. Just like PJ she's 9 months old! Her plagio is not nearly as bad a Dane's was but we felt that we had to take it seriously. Having been down this path before we knew the DOC Band wouldn't bother her and could only help her. At her age we figured we could only regret not banding her. She had her first adjustment on Friday. I was a little worried she wouldn't get the awesome correction Dane got because she is older but I'm happy to say that she is looking much rounder already. I'm so sorry to hear about your insurance. This is not uncommon even for civilian families. Fight like hell. You deserve every cent.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi Jen...I was in my late 20's when I was dx'd with sero-negative lupus and mixed connective tissue disease. In my thirties I was dx'd with chronic fatigue syndrome, then fibromyalgia. In my forties I was dx'd with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and sjogren's syndrome. I, too, am not sure " what " exactly I have...I call it " autoimmune potpourri " though my doctors are settled on Ra, PsA, FMS and Sjogren's. My children were very small when I was first dx'd. All this to say I do understand your situation, and I am glad you are here to receive all the good blessings from this great groups of fellow survivors. Hugs...

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi Tess, Thanks for the welcome! My PM doctor suggested that maybe I have some sort of mixed connective tissue disorder, but when I read about it, I really don't have any of the diseases that meet that criteria. It's just kinda frustrating going ahead into the unknown....which I'm sure you know well. My girls were older, 9 and 11, when I started getting sick, so they unfortunately got to see me change right before their eyes. That was hard. I'm glad I'm here too...this feels like a very good group! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Just curious. How is she socially? As a young girl, I played with my neighbors (as long as it was star wars, and I guess played by my rules) and Didn't have friends at school in elementary. How about routine or structure? Does she socialize with kids her age, adults, younger kids? Does she collect something at all or talk a lot about certain subjects she likes? Just curious. These are just a sample of things that an Aspie " could " do, and I wonder if she does any of that. *smiles* b > > Some people are questioning whether my daughter has AS.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yes, now she even sounds more like me when I was little. veeerrryy interesting, and worthwhile, in my opinion to work with her and help her like she actually got the diagnosis. Dad, well, for some dads, they are a whole other story. I think she is fine too, just perhaps 'differen't' on some things. (and that justs might be Asperger Syndrome!!) *smiles* lisa b > > She has a rock collection that she also collects at school. Says she does not really play with anyone at school, just roams around by herself. My girlfriends daughter her age (9) says she is crazy and gets aggitated with her.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Well, you should probably investigate why she is having these problems. They all seem related to sensory problems. Roxanna ( ) Newbie Here Some people are questioning whether my daughter has AS. She has not even been looked at and I do not know if this is a route I should take. About 1.5 yrs ago she was diagnosed ADHD & CAPD. I have always thought we still were missing something. She is doing lots better in school with Concerta and being at a new school. They have a smaller class size and she is in an inclusive class. She is in 4th grade. She has not even gone to SPED this year because her teacher feels she is staying on tract quite well. Her issues that these people are looking at are: She can not stand being at the peprally, they do not have a band just a lot of screaming kids and loud music on the PA. She has issues with being on the bus due to the loud noise She has issues with her socks they have to be put on 100% right (the line over the toes) She will not wear tight fitting shirts (around the arms) She is real sensitive to light, like going to the eye doc or a really suny day (she has fair skin, blond hair, blue eyes) Tasks have to be given to her 1-2 at a time, I can not roll out a list unless it is written She has even told her teacher that she might need to be moved to another class because it is too loud in there.
