Need suggestion , Please help

[Guest guest]

I need suggestion from all the moms who recovered their children. Please help

me.

This is regarding the treatment for my son. I first need to understand what

exactly Autism/ Aspergers is.

My son is five and half year old. He had speech delay, was not interacting much,

not very social when he was two years old. Since his speech was delayed we made

him attend speech therapy classes when he was in between two and half to three

yrs old . His speech is better now and is now in Kindergarten and goes to the

regular school . He interacts very well with his classmates, speaks full

sentences. But still does not understand what people around him are conversing

about. He has lack of understanding others emotions: does not understand jokes,

takes them in literal sense

Does not understand others conversation, nor participates in any.

Difficulty in understanding multiple instructions: either mis-understands or

avoids understanding multiple instructions.

Lack of creativity – learning is built on repetitive memory: does not build

sentences,

rather repeats already heard sentences & contexts.

Severe lack of focus & easily distracted: takes sometimes 10 times more time to

complete regular

homework. This is not lack in skill (he demonstrates good capability, but does

not finish his work on time).

Severe multiple tantrums per day without any reason.

Does not accept mistakes or wrongs, or losing: quite often leads to tantrums

Affinity towards certain/stereotypical toys: e.g., cars, superheros

Lack of interest in food, picky eater: avoids most foods except his most wanted

choice; does not like gel/fiber like food to touch or eat. Does not eat any

fruits, except

bananas on rare occasions.

Hyperactive: most times in a day, and mostly when playing.

Does not demonstrate enthusiasm to learn: does not ask why/what/who questions

that his peers typically ask. Did not pickup mother tongue: Our native language

is spoken at home, but he did not pick-up speaking (unlike his peers).

Last week we had an appointment with DAN doctor for the first time and after we

discussed everything with him, he felt that our kid was not autistic. he spoke

with our son and told us that he had very good eye contact,was nicely

interacting and answering the questions. He did not see 'autistic child' in him.

He told us that he could not rule out Aspergers at this time but definitely saw

0% autism. The doctor did not prescribe any medicines but gave us a few tips to

deal with the child and told us that he would work with us for the next couple

of months.

Do I need to meet another DAN doctor for second opinion or should I wait and

see? I want to start possible treatment for my son as soon as possible. What is

the next step I should take? Please advise, I am desperate

Could you share your children behavior when they were 5 and half years old. I

want to know whether your children had similar behavior when they were five

years old and when you say recovery, what are the areas that still need to get

improved? Does biomedical treatment necessary for my son? Need suggestions from

all the experienced moms whose kids are completely recovered.

Thank you so much!
