son having horrible regression

July 19, 2006

Hi,

We are currently having horrible regression with our ASD son. He is

3 years 10 months old. He has been going to OT and speech since

March and was really progressing quite well, doing better with

transitions, learning more language, etc. We are just beginning to

do biomedical intervention.

Then 3 weeks before Father's day his Occupational therapist left and

we haven't had any OT until last week and it was only once last

week. Also, 2 weeeks before Father's dad (with his lovely sensory

issues) he decided to swallow 5 lithuium pen batteries. The Dr.

said to just let them pass. Well, the last month has been nothing

but PURE HELL! Today we had to leave speech in the middle of the

session because he did nothing but scream and hide behind a chair

for most of the time.

The only other changes except for the noted ones above are that he

has been eating alot of bacon and just last week I started him on

Kirkman's spectrum complete.

Can anyone please give me some encouragement? I feel like this in

no way to live. My husband and I do nothing but fight all day long.

Thank you,

Jana
