vocal stimming question

[Guest guest]

I have a 4yr. old ASD son that does NOT stim. However, my neurotypical 21 month old, non-vaccinated daughter started showing autistic behaviors. She started toe walking, hand flapping, speech regressing, social issues and verbal stimming. At first I freaked. But then I realized that I had slowly been giving her more and more grains such as cereal, bread, etc. Now she was already GFCF because she gets diarrhea from gluten and casein so I figured maybe it was a yeast problem. She always had signs of yeast, ie - diaper area rash, bloated belly but never autistic symptoms. As soon as I pulled all grains and starches she stopped every autistic symptom and acts completely 100% normal again. Last night she had rice and today she was hand flapping and stimming. So I would suggest going GFCF and grain/starch

free and see what happens. Gluten takes awhile to leave the system but you should see gains almost right away. GrayTo: mb12 valtrex Sent: Wed, February 9, 2011 4:04:19 PMSubject: vocal stimming question

Hi Everyone-

I ran into a friend of mine last night that also has a son with ASD. He is nonverbal and a HUGE vocal stimmer. Like a constant AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! noise she says every waking moment. It is very loud and she is at her wits end. They have done biomedical and she has treated for yeast and bacteria in the past. She treated even though tests did not indicate they were an issue. Last yeat, they stopped all supplements. The verbal stimming has increased in volume and frequency over time. I had nothing to tell her but thought someone might have an idea on what I can tell her. He has never been a sleeper either and she is exhausted. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
