need advice

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

I'm having one of those days (weeks,years!). I'm trying to figure

out if my son's behavior is just a result of bad parenting(but my

other two are ok!), his personality or if indeed this is part of the

PDD package.Since starting the diet 7 months ago his tantrums have

drastically reduced, eye contact better, excema almost gone, more

cooperative, and other good things. However he still can be so

difficult! He has no fear or respect of adults. He'll yell at us, his

teachers, anyone who crosses him with equal force. He is 5 1/2yrs and

still has inappropriate social behavior, can't hold a decent

conversation for more that a minute without going off on some out of

context topic, overreacts to being told no to something (although

accepts this diet without complaint). He does have apraxia

(improving), poor fine motor skills, word retrival problems, poor use

of language, etc. His gross motor skills are great, decent eye contact

(now), very healthy, tested negative to metals, food and inhalent

allergies, high on gluten and casein. Slight yeast problem. He's been

in special ed since 18 months.He's on Kirkman's everyday vit, SNT,

DMG, Pro Bio Gold, nystatin and sometimes melatonin.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Also can anyone recommend a

good DAN doc in NY (I'm on Long Island) who can diagnos fairly

accurately? Dr. Boris(Woodbury) and Dr. Cecilia McCarten(NYC) have

been mentioned to me. Any feedback on them or anyone else.Sorry this

is so long, I just had a crappy few days with him and am losing it.

Thanks.
