Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Kelli, I am new here- I can't give you any hope that this diet will help your son, I haven't even really started it myself yet. As far as being the parent of an asd child- I have more experience. My son just turned 5- he's severely asd. We had to move my whole family a few months ago half way across Canada just to get some treatment for him (I have 3 kids, my 9 yr old nt son is still miserable about the move) We don't know a soul out here, and we are very alone. My asd son, is, like I said, severe. He's very hard on all of us. He has severe OCD, and screams, slaps himself in the head, bangs his head on the floor when he doesn't get his way. He pulls my younger daughter's hair, and attacks my older son. Every time I change the diaper on a child who should have been toilet trained for at least 3 years now, I get depressed. Every day his aid shows up to do therapy with him, I think at my older son's age, he was going to kindergarten by himself. I am doing some bio-medical things with him, hoping that every new thing that we do, we will see some improvement- nothing yet. I worry every second of the day about his future, I cry myself to sleep almost every night grieving the loss of my son's 'normal' life. I worry myself sick that he will be picked on, and taken advantage of. I also worry about what will happen to him someday when I am not able to take care of him anymore.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi Amber; My heart breaks for you. I can empathize with your situation. My daughter is 3 yo and mod/severely autistic. I also have a 2 yo daughter. I have to watch them constantly as my eldest daughter attacks her sister (although from what I hear this is pretty normal behaviour for kids :-) ). I'm also in Canada. I'm guessing you moved to Alberta to pursue IBI treatment? We were considering the move too but are trying to tough it out here in Ontario with no funding. Don't give up hope! What kind of biomed things are you doing for your son? My daughter is also a tough nut, but I continue to research and am determined to find the missing piece to the puzzle that will get her on the road to recovery. I am also getting ready to start the SCD. I think we are on the right path with this one... Feel free to email me off list if you want to talk... kimandglen.quinn@... Hugs, Kim :-) Re: Emotional Support Kelli, I am new here- I can't give you any hope that this diet will help your son, I haven't even really started it myself yet.

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't make you feel better. I wish I could help you. Amber new to SCD- haven't started yet. I have a SCD child of 2 and a half years of age. He would also throw fits and scream anytime he became upset. It wears done all of us, but keep in mind this is not his " real personality " its just the unhealed gut and autoimmune responses to it. Our son is on the SCD diet. Its the best diet for any ASD kid bar none. GFCF diet works to stop some bad reactions but it will let the candida (yeast) overgrowth continue.One supplement that has worked far far better than any other is a product called cellfood. I give it to my son 10 to 15 drops in a 16 ounce water bottle weith a retractable nipple (like a sport bottle top) so he can drink water anytime he wants. This is ALL he drinks, no juice or anything else. He eats all the legal foods (lots of fruits, veggies) and organic chicken for protien. We use the original formula cellfood and give him several doses (4) of the cellfood multitvitamen spray ever single day. Its the best stuff we have ever tried. Language and behavior all imporved in days, not weeks. It kept improving and no regression. It does detoxify gradually but its primarily role is to get much needed oxygen as well as many other much needed nutrients to the cellular level where the real healing begins.It's inexpensive and we take it with us everywhere we go. We are not distributors nor have any affilation with them but we buy ours from www.cellfoodusa.com. Its done wonders for my son. If you try it e-mail me and let me know if it helped. n 3/15/06, Kelli Kelliston@...> wrote: > > > > Ok, here is the good news.

We are not distributors nor have any affilation with them but we buy ours from www.cellfoodusa.com. Its done wonders for my son. If you try it e-mail me and let me know if it helped. n 3/15/06, Kelli Kelliston@...> wrote: > > > > Ok, here is the good news.

He would also throw fits and scream anytime he became upset. It wears done all of us, but keep in mind this is not his " real personality " its just the unhealed gut and autoimmune responses to it. It's wonderful to have all this support, but my story is quite different. My son, , was diagnosed when he was 3 1/2, about 16 years ago. At that age he was in a sped classroom just for ASD kids. The speech person in the classroom told the teacher one day that she didn't know why we bothered. In 20 years of working with ASD kids the teacher had never seen a child so into his own little world. He didn't even answer to his own name. Safety was a major issue. But both the teacher and I had seen him come out of his shell - just seconds at a time - and believed in him. We didn't have the knowledge of diets, and support from anywhere (including family) was pretty much non-existent. We did whatever the teacher told us to do, even if I questioned it. I had to trust her, and God put her into our lives. She knew what she was doing, and would help the kids in anyway she could. She did home visits, and was always there for questions. Even without diet, did very well. He is now 19. He started at the community college this semester, and will be studying computer programming. He is still ASD, and will personally not pronounce the word " autism " . He doesn't even want to hear the " A " word. It's still a long road, but the hills are easier now. Because God blessed us with a very special child, we began to do foster care for handicapped children about 13 years ago. My favorite kids are the ones on the spectrum, and the social workers are amazed at the progress they make when they stay with me. So much for my accounting degree.....

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Amber, It's important to find an appropriate program for your son, with a teacher who has a really good clue as to what she's doing. 's teacher would try different strategies with the kids, and then use the best one for that particular child. You also need to learn what is happening at school, and use the same strategies at home. The teacher would make home visits, and help us with any home problems, and give us ideas as to how to handle situations/crises. Parents were allowed to visit the classroom at anytime, and volunteering in the classroom was essential to me to learn different strategies, which although I didn't need to use with my son, came in handy with certain foster kids later. There are many therapies out there. You'll know very quickly if a certain one will work for your son. The best advice I can give you is to TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!!!! If something doesn't feel right to you, it probably isn't. In regards to safety, you do what you have to do. was on a " leash " for a couple of years. We had to use a harness or a wrist leash when we went out. Once we went camping, and in order to make breakfast I put his harness on him and tied him to the other end of the picnic table. Right now because my foster son snuck downstairs at 2 am one day and pushed a chair over to where I hang my keys so he could go start the car, I got permission to put a gate on his bedroom door so he is much less likely to leave his room. With a lot of effort he can, but will make enough noise to wake me up. There is also a lock at the top of my screen door so he can't go out/let strangers in, and the gate to the yard has the latch on the outside so he can't run off. We also installed a harness system in our van so he can't get out without someone letting him out, and required one per IEP on the ride to and from school. I would definitely do the SCD if I were to do things over. I can see in my siblings how they could use the diet, but they don't want to hear it from me. I know how much better I feel, and how well BJ is doing. I can't even get the rest of my own family on the diet - including the one who avoids wheat because of migraines! But they're adults and can make their own decisions, and I only cook SCD, so even though they're not 100% they are eating much better. e-mail me off line if you have any specific questions off topic.
