Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hi Randi, I'm chelating my almost 8yr old autistic son since a year. We still have a long road ahead, but he is definetely better than he was before chelating. We are doing 12.5 mg each of ALA and DMSA for him. After all the research I have done, the only hope I have for his recovery(if at all possible) is chelation. IMHO its never too late to start chelation. I'm chelating myself and some of my issues like sciatica are gone in just 6 months of chelation.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 You are definitely not too late. I am chelating my 8 yr old, and have been for a little over a year. The improvements have been amazing! My ds weighs 50 lbs., and I started him on 12.5 mg DMSA and 12.5 mg ALA. He had not had any recent vaccines or other mercury exposure, so we did ALA from the start. I probably should have started a little lower and ramped it up, but I had heard so much about treating them before they were 5 or 6 that I was afraid it was too late for him. Luckily, I hit on the right dose for him. He did fine on that dose, but when I tried to up it to 18.75, he started complaining about headaches, so we went back to the 12.5. We dosed both at the same time for about 6 months, then went to ALA only. Now, we do DMSA/ALA for a few rounds, then ALA only for a few rounds. He had elevated lead on his hair test, not too bad, but enough that I wanted to make sure to get that out also. If you are dosing ALA, dosing should be done every 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Maybe going back to the old " potty training " routine would help. I think that it would get pretty old for him if his mother is asking him to try and go potty every 20 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I know that would drive Brady nuts (he goes crazy if I ask him to try after being in a car for 4 hours).... Having him clean it up wouldn't be an option for us, because that would cause a huge blowup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Well that would be good if I knew he had done it. Unfortunately I don't know about it until it has started to stink.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I guess I should give a little background of the problem. He did this once before. He has drawers under his bed and he used one of them to pee in. When we discovered it the drawer was shot. At that time we made him help clean up and told him if he ever did it again we would take everything out of his room but his bed. A few days later we found a different spot that he had been using but he vehemtly claimed that it was all done before we found the other spot. Fast forward 6 months or more we found that he had done it again. I don't know how many times he used this corner but it was dry to the touch but smelled and the wood had started to become discolored. We have followed through with the threat and removed everything from his room but his bed. All his toys have been taken away. He has a computer and tv that he shares with his sisters (in a play room). For now we are letting this stay in use but these will be taken away if he does it again. I guess I was wondering if anyone else has ever delt with this issue and what steps were taken to deal with it. I like the idea of the Potty training and even the diapers (assuming he doesn't decide that he likes the idea of not having to go to the bathroom and just using the diaper). Sometimes things that any other kid would be horrified of just doesn't faze him. Vickie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Vickie, that is a great idea about using the diaper and your concern is also a Hugh concern of him - maybe- liking that idea of using a diaper. Parents always post on this site to make sure you replace a bad habit with a better habit or the child can replace a bad habit with another bad habit. I still feel it doesn't matter how long ago he used anyplace in his room as a toilet. I would tell him " this spot smells " and still make him clean it as soon as you smell it. If he has a meltdown, when finished, I would still tell him to clean it - until he does. or he will learn that having a meltdown will be his ' out ' to get out of things. What if you were to laminate signs saying - this is not a toilet - use the bathroom. place these signs in each corner of the room. Also include a pic of a toilet with a red diagonally line across the toilet. On the bottom of the sign, write- use the bathroom with a picture of your bathroom. you can have these made at an office supply store. Not knowing when it happens is the hard part because it will be hard to find the reason why he started this especially after he knows to use the toilet. (like was he upset he had to do his homework, clean his room, etc) Does he have siblings? pets? What does he say when you speak to him about smelling urine in his room? That is a hard one. I wish you the best. I had a neighbor who had a child that did this When he was 5 - he would stand on the top of the stairs and pee down to the first floor. you would need an umbrella. She was packing to move at that same time it started.. I hope this passes soon for you.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 This is not an ultimate fix, but if punishment, training, etc. don't work, you may want to try an old-fashioned chamber pot in his room. There may be other issues...is he afraid of the dark? is it a long distance to the bathroom? Once again...not the best fix, but if you want to save your floor while you are working the problem.....

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I wouldn't let him have anything to drink past 6pm or so and make him use the restroom right before he gets in bed. Similar to potty training, but helps decrease the chance he'll have to go in the first place which might help break the bad habit. Hang in there, mom!

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 My son at ages 10-14 used the trashcans in his room & the kitchen, the kitchen sink. He did this in the middle of the night when he was stealing & hoarding food. He finally stopped when he went to residential placement for 16 months. He has been home for 3.5 months & no incidents of that or smearing poop all over the bathroom. No answers for you.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 No offense to the person who made the suggestion, but I think it could be a bad mistake to try making him wear diapers again. I've read too many stories about those sorts of childhood humiliations causing the onset of fetishes or other issues. Willa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Wow, I actually feel better now. Aparently this is not altogether that unusual. All the tips on Google match with a lot of the tips I have gotten here as well as what we have done. I have been working on the assumption that he is doing this when he is playing/watching tv/computer because he doesnt want to take the time to stop whatever he is doing to use the bathroom. It hadn't even crossed my mind that he would be doing it at night since potty training has never been an issue. My girlfriend has a 16 year old Aspie that for a while was urinating on the outside of the shower curtain because he thought the toilet was to dirty to use (interesting logic there hey:). So I guess I need to dig a little deeper and see if I can get an explanation from him as to why. Vickie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
