Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Hey everyone, my oldiest son (we believe -NT) has just started kindergarten. It's only the second full week and we are having trouble in school. Trouble following directions, being part of the group, completing the simpliest of tasks. I wondering if he has some sort of HFA or Aspergers' of if it is just anxxiety. He was languaged delayed as a toddler and very moody. With speech therapy he seemed to snap out of it. He has always been very anxious, but what makes it really difficult to piece out is that he has a very mild facial deformity. He looks different, he has a bump over his right eye- makes his eye brows look like he got hit. There is no cure for this, we have had it surgurically removed once only to grow back. We are researching an experimental tx but its not covered by insurance. We are praying for a small windfall! We always thought his anxiety was related to his appearance. He talks about being different and that people stare and sometimes kids make fun of him. We talk all the time, that he just looks different just someone has blonde hair versus the brown but I think he is really preoccupied with this anxiety. I don't know if this helps a child so young with so much anxiety. Has anyone tried the diet on there NT kids and seen any changes with them? Kinda like what Karyn Serroussi did with her older NT daughter that sleep walked. I am tempted to start some supps first and then move into the diet-it can't hurt right? Any feedback would be helpful Jeneane, Houston Nick-5(nT?) -3-PDD nos Beth -2-(NT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
