Re: broken heart need your ideas

[Guest guest]

Tonight my husband came home a little sad from our son's cub scouts meeting,

saying tonight was really the first night he saw the difference of our son

compared to the other boys in his den. Our son loves Bros. & he is very

good at it, so...he tends to verbal stim. Tonight my husband said that the

other boys were making fun of him saying hey " make him say 'this or that' about

" .

my question to you all is: what should I give him to focus better,pay better

attention, socialize & interact with his peers.

I

I know kids can be cruel but it breaks my heart that they make fun of him,

I want to be with him every second of the day to protect him! But that is

impossible.

Please send me some of your ideas, currently he is not on any supps/meds save

for multiple vit., enzymes & I have tried respen a patches but he pulls them off

even in the middle of the night.

Thank you all sooooooo much, this group is the only group I can turn to for

ideas.

Thank you

nina, my heart goes out to you and dad. this is a tough road for sure. i cant offer much here because my son is more lower functioning and it is clearly obvious that something is wrong. what we get a lot of is stares. but because he is obviously disabled, not much making fun of.

i have a friend though whose child is very high functioning and she expresses the same sentiment. so, whether our kids are high, low, or medium on the spectrum, it's a challenge. i have found that educating the people your son interacts with is very good. just explaining to the other kids what some of your son's challenges are. some will get it and some wont.

i wish there was a magic pill that would make all this go away. because my son is now almost 14 yrs old, i have dealt with soooo much over the years, i have just accepted the fact that people will stare, make fun and say bad remarks. it is mostly due to ignorance. once i explain my son's situation, most people become very sympathetic and even try to be my son's friend. oh well...

Oh boy. I hate nights like that. Just when you think things are going so great.....bam! reality check. Sometimes I get so angry because why should we feel compelled to change our kids when they're the ones who would never dream of being so hurtful?? Other parents should be there teaching THEIR kids right from wrong. With that said, we still want our kids healthy and productive, so we do what we can to get them there. I've never dealt with verbal stims, so I'm not sure how to approach that. An easy place to start for focus and attention is with antioxidants, EFA's and B vitamins (B12 in particular)take a look at his diet and sleep habits then take it from there. There's so much you can look into that may

help. But this is a good place to start. Hang in there....there have been many a time I've sat crying behind my sunglasses feelingall of his frustration x10. I don't know which is worse - the days when he didn't realize he wasbeing made fun of? Or now? When he knows it and doesn't know how to respond to it. But at the end of the day, we know how amazing and wonderful our kids are and how blessed we are to have them! And I let my son know that every single day!

First, why did you choose to put the Respen on at night? Normally it is for the day. If he is taking it off during the day as well, perhaps you can have a talk with him? On the Respen site there are some videos of a child off and on Respen. Show him how the child is detached and spacey in the one video but can speak to his family in the other. I have told my 4 yr old that the Respen helps his mitochondria work better and I tell him what a mitochondria does and all... he asks for his patch.

I had a day like this where I broke down, 9 months out from the official dx. Which I had " fought " for. So it wasn't a shock or anything when we got it... but that particular day it set in. My daughter was having a food party at school, and I was there hovering and replacing and all... the other moms were just chit chatting... and I just felt horrible, like she'd never be able to just BE. :-(

Anyway, we started LDN last month with my daughter, and she is like a completely different child. Well I say that, she's not really THAT different, but it's like she grew up two years in two weeks. She would be very much like that Max kid on Parenthood. Just basically telling you facts or telling you to get her something... now, she really interacts with us, makes jokes (HUGE!!! hello!!! Like I told her to sit and chill... she says " where's the icepack? " with a smile on her face because she FINALLY gets it, I mean the " figures of speech. " She's going to be 6.) She gives awesome eye contact now, and even " reads " my stink-eye face. 8-O

Everyone in the house is using the LDN. We all are in better spirits. I am more connected too... if I am wanting/needing something from my husband, I don't slam things around making him pick up the hint, I just say hey you need to do this... this is huge for me... it might sound like I'm just being a wife LOL but seriously it has improved my communication.

A lot of things have been a big help for my son, but nothing has flipped off everything (he is ADHD w/ some autistic behaviors, minor speech delay & seizures) He is a tough nut to crack, I am guessing because his brain is " on fire. "

Oh anyway, I'm losing my train of thought... I have just started telling my daughter (and son) to stop whatever behavior it is that will get them teased. I try to be loving about it. I try to give reasons and examples... So, my daughter might be talking about her obsession (stuffed animals) and I will say 'I'm glad you love them so much, but not everyone wants to talk about them for a long time like you " and then might give an example of me talking about something boring when she wants to go watch tv or something... how that feels. I think there are social stories too.

We are consulting a homeopath regarding my son, next week. Hoping that will be our big WOW for him.

Low dose naltrexone (LDN), inositol, and getting the yeast under control is what

I understand helps w/ scripting. My daughter does this but I haven't noticed it

much lately since I put her on diflucan. I think I've got some inositol in as

well. I have not tried LDN because I've read before you have to be strict gf/cf

to get any results and well I gave up on strict diets. I just try to keep it

real. Good luck!

I know this will happen other places as well, but Cub Scouts is a place where diversity, especially special needs, should be welcome and accepted. They even have a manual for the special needs population (I believe it's pretty old and not as much for autism related topics, but it is to help those feel included). Please make sure you share this w/the cub leader and possibly the higher ups. They want and need to know this. As the Scouts grow older, many drop out who are more athletically inclined and it usually leaves the quirky, brainy, etc., kids who still need a place to feel they belong, so this is a great opportunity for our children. I think so much of this comes down to the den leaders and what I noticed when we did scouts was that the leaders were not used to really watching the kids to see how they interacted with each other...everybody seems happy, everybody's fine. Just like w/other places, it's just a matter of educating the leaders/teachers and other parents. Also, what I found out was there are troupes that may have more experience with different kids than your neighborhood troupe. For us, we didn't stay in it after a similar experience to yours, and then we got into other extra curricular activities, but I did find out that there was another group close to us that had more kids with special needs. My sister's son who has Down syndrome has been in their areas Scout group for 4 years and they've had good experiences...he even won the pine derby race last weekend. If your son enjoys the activities that Cub Scouts provides, seek out the higher ups in your areas troupes and visit with them about what might work for your son.

My suggestion is to tell him to look straight at em, grin and keep going. He could even throw in comments like " you only wish... " meaning you just wish you are as cool as I am. Don't ever let them see you sweat or they become pirahnas.Remember the kid in school who was "different" and was picked on but laughed along with the joke. Adolescent bullies can't deal with this.

Thank you all sooooooo much, this group is the only group I can turn to for ideas.

My suggestion is to tell him to look straight at em, grin and keep going. He could even throw in comments like " you only wish... " meaning you just wish you are as cool as I am. Don't ever let them see you sweat or they become pirahnas.Remember the kid in school who was "different" and was picked on but laughed along with the joke. Adolescent bullies can't deal with this. They are stumped! He should continue to be nice and "rise above them".Sent from my iPhone

Tonight my husband came home a little sad from our son's cub scouts meeting, saying tonight was really the first night he saw the difference of our son compared to the other boys in his den. Our son loves Bros. & he is very good at it, so...he tends to verbal stim. Tonight my husband said that the other boys were making fun of him saying hey "make him say 'this or that' about ".

my question to you all is: what should I give him to focus better,pay better attention, socialize & interact with his peers.

I know kids can be cruel but it breaks my heart that they make fun of him,

Sorry, left out 1 important thing, although most of you probably knew where I was going. The kid who was different but able to embrace his differences while k owing the bullies have their limitations is always the one who becomes " best all around" or student body president. I agree with educating folks about the disability but when your kid is pretty close to being " off the spectrum" ji would give him the tools we would all give typically developing children.Also, if eye contact is tough, he can turn away while laughing and saying " you just wish" and it will likely dismantle the bully.Then he should quickly engage with someone else in conversation to minimize the interaction with bully. I hope this is in some way helpful!Sent from my iPhone

If he's not on any supplements, then there are a lot of things that you can

consider. I would suggest either looking into finding a doctor (one that

believes in biomedical treatment, not meds) that can help get you started on the

right path or start reading about the most common treatments and how they can

help. Check out tacanow.org as a great starting point.
