Marcia - thanks so much for this. Always good to hear this stuff over and over. Am curious as to what kinds of intervention you chose, beyond biomedical. Do you mind sharing?RuthSent from my iPhone

I have a moment of hope for those of you still stuck in the trenches. My son who was “supposed “ to be in an institution (who has his master’s in engineering and works for a major aerospace company) was given a compliment yesterday at work. He was told by one of the higher-ups that he has “great people skills.†We both had a great laugh about that one. When he was little, I never thought he’d be okay. I wanted you to know there is hope for all our children’s futures.Best,Marcia Hinds

Ruth,We went to Dr. Goldberg and treated all the medical issues had. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend him. We go elsewhere now. We took the stress off his immune system by treating allergies as well as sinus problems. My son still takes an antifungal, an antiviral and an SSRI . He doesn’t do Dairy but is not gluten free. We change meds every 9 months to a year, so he doesn’t build up a tolerance, but has been on one kind or another of these pharmaceuticals for 18 years. We don’t do any supplements. We did before we started with Dr. G. at age five. The reason we no longer do supplements is not because they don’t sometimes work, it was just too tedious to figure out which ones did. Each person has different medical issues so you must find someone skilled to help you. If the answer were the same for everyone, the autism problem would have been solved a long time ago. I would strongly suggest the Northern New York Autism Clinic or Dr. Bruce in Port Aransas for care. Dr. Bruce is not currently not taking new patients but the clinic in New York is expanding so they are. They have patients all over the world. You go for an initial appointment and the other appointments by phone. Your blood test results are done by a local lab and the results are sent to the clinic by fax. They are wonderful and their contact info is: The New York Clinic is expanding and does wonderful work with our kids. They would be my choice to see. The number of the New York clinic is . Their website is http://www.nnyautismcenter.com . The director Ruthof the Northern New York Clinic is Kathy on and she is wonderful. She has never taken a salary for more than 10 years but does this because she is dedicated to helping our kids. I will privately forward another email with more info that may help you with the medical.Best,Marcia Hinds

Kat,It was a long haul. Besides the medical we did ABA. They need some kind of rehabilitation to teach them all that they missed. was in the ballpark academically in high school but I wasn’t sure he could handle college away from me. But he did. I don’t think the final social metamorphous occurred until college. Middle school was full of bullying and that did much to erode his self confidence. He no longer received any services as of sixth grade but he definitely wasn’t there yet. Academically he did okay but organization and focus still continued to be a problem. I used to worry he would never have friends. And he didn’t have any real ones until college.Best,Marcia Re: Hope for our children's futures Fri Oct 26, 2012 12:04 pm (PDT) .
