's story

[Guest guest]

I believe our story is positive, although not as dramatic as we all

might wish. has HFA/Asperger's and has been on SCD with intro

since April 23, 2004. He is still at the raw-fruit-but-no-peels

stage. We never see any behavior directly related to what he eats

or doesn't eat. We only see positive and negative evidence in his

poop. And yet, slowly, slowly, his behavior improves. In 2003-

2004, it was common for to have a melt-down just entering his

classroom. He had numerous in-school suspensions. And once the

teacher felt she had to evacuate all the other kids from the

classroom because 's lack of control was scary. Last year

(grade 4) he spent the whole year in a regular classroom with just a

couple of trips to resource to pull himself together. He made two

very good NT friends that he has gotten together with outside of

school, was invited to his first NT birthday party (I consider this

huge). He is in the gifted and talented classroom and composed the

musical advertising jingle for the class's " business project " of a

school-wide book exchange. This year his 5th-grade teacher has

called him a " wonderful writer " . Now, granted, we do many, many

interventions and not just SCD. We changed schools on the advice of

a psychologist sees and the new district is so-much-more ready

to work with us and not just cast blame. At the new district,

has had a one-on-one aide and the last two years the aides have been

very well-trained. We see a pro-SCD DAN and do chelation as well as

tons of legal supplements. I haven't written our story before

because I can't definitively say that SCD has been responsible for

all of this. But things are gradually getting so much better, there

is no way I want to mess it up. My assumption is that SCD is an

integral part of 's improvement and we will continue as long as

we can.
