Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 My 4 year autistic son's speech has deteriorated since he was two. He has had a lot of health issues and has used antibiotics for bronchitis, ear infection every other month on the average, if not more. The use of antibiotics and steroids usually caused him tantrum and I suspect that it also impaired his speech development since he is almost completely non-verbal while he said over 30 words in the past at different times. We are wondering whether any of you have similar experiences. Also, our local Dan doctor gave us some supplements such as Vitamin-A and Zinc to try to give to him before his conditions get really bad but we have not tried it really hard since we were not sure about how effective it could be since my son could not tell us when he is feeling the first symptoms of his cold, or ear infection.
