Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 _Amazon.com: Books: Autism: Effective Biomedical Treatments (Have We Done Every_ (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0974036099/002-2398549-6039201?v=\ glance) This is a link to the book at Amazon. I bought mine at the mini DAN! in NC. It is written by two of the doctors responsible for starting the DAN! collaboration. This is the quote from the book: " Five Month regression " : Again, most of us who have reached the five month mark have seen a severe regression at almost exactly the five month anniversary. This regression has lasted anywhere from seven to twenty one days, and was mainly behavioral in nature: increased self stimulatory behaviors and hyperactivity; increased obsessive behaviors, perseverative play and scripting; increased mood swings including manic laughing and crying; tooth grinding; increased self abusive behavirors and aggression; increased defiant behavior; markedly decreased attention span; decreased social interest and social language; destructive behaviors; an enormous increase in self directed behavior; tantrums; itchy, white bumps on the legs.. There was little worsening of bowel function and only mild decreased of appetite (my son had increased appetite, fwiw) This says the next regression occurs again at 7mos and lastly at 9mos. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be able to tell you exactly what it said in the book. Email if you have any questions.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Not for us. We're right on target (unfortunately). We're at the five month regression and it began a few days before. Both of my kids are on the diet and both have had bowel regressions. My daughter was very manic happy and then crying. My son (ASD) is very hyper and distracted. Both are not sleeping at all (though they are horrible sleepers to begin with). I'm on the diet too because I'm still nursing my youngest and I felt crappy and had diarrhea for about four days. So, we must be getting some toxins out of our bodies. I just hate any regressions, especially for my son. , mom to Cameron 4 years and Peyton 22 months SCD five months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 , Thanks for your response. The book indicates that after every regression, there is a huge gain....so at least we have something to look forward to! Hang in there!! Carol, Is it possible to set up some kind of database (like the LDN database) to record these for future members? TAmmy Peyton 2.5 asd (scd 5 1/2 mos) coming out of his regression and much more eye contact, verbal, connected, less agression and even some affection!!!!
