Vit E and Fish Oil - Help My Apraxic Son!

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I am new to this group and have a few questions. Someone

from the mb12/valtrex group recommened that I check out this board

because my 5 yr old son is autistic and nonverbal and his ST has

recently told me she believes he is apraxic. Even including a limb

apraxia, says ST, as even his signs don't look like they should (kind

of curls up his hands when he should be spreading them out, etc.) At

this time last year, he had more noises than he does now and she used

to say she did NOT think he was apraxic. I researched the symptoms

and YES he is apraxic. I am very interested in trying the fish oil

and Vit. E protocol with him. How do I know how much to give him of

both to start? Are there recommended brands that might work better

and/or taste better? He is on lots of supplements right now but not

fish oil (he takes 2 packets of Coromega daily) and his multi only

gives him about 25 IU of Vit E per day.

Also, might this really actually truly help? I hate to get my hopes

up yet again. My son signs for things, but is still prompt dependent

for lots of them. I know he understands that he cannot talk and is

extremely frustrated by it. He gets very upset when I ask him to

pair sounds with signs.

What am I missing? I'm ready to rip my hair. This poor kid.

Thanks for ANYTHING you can offer as advice.
