terrible tantrums and regression, help!

October 3, 2001

Hi,

has been CF since March and GF since April. We saw wondeful

improvements in language and connectedness. Since he turned 3 and

transisitioned to the CPSE we had a lot more available to us. He is getting 25

hrs a week of ABA and 3 afternoons a week in an integrated preschool class w/

one on one. He gets Ot/ PT as well. He is doing great on the ABA programs but

home has been a nightmare. It is one tantrum after another. He has lost some

spontaneous language that he had and needs specific prompts to recall phrases

he needs. He refuses to come to the table to eat and has missed many meals.

My husband is about to leave because it has been so terrible. On top of all

this my older son has Aspergers and he has never been easy to deal with. When

we say God doesn't give us anything we can't handle, it's these times that I'm

not so sure. He is on Nystatin, SuperNuthera and TMG w/ Folic Acid. I have

started Epsom salts baths but have seen no improvement. did anyone else see

this when starting ABA? Is he so tired from it he just withdraws? We are firm

with our sitter and the school and they insist he isn't getting anything that >

> we haven't provided. We are desperate for help.

Thanks,

from Rochester
