We gave my son the shots while he was sleeping. It was so much easier. We gave

my 7 year old son the shots every 3 days for 2 years. You can not even tell that

he was once autistic. He is so social. He no longer needs an aid or speech

therapy at school. He is in a regular 2nd grade class & is just soaring. He gets

100's on all his spelling & Math tests, Reads like a high schooler, has many

friends and has much empathy, I no longer see any signs of autism. I brought him

to his pediatrician  because he was not feeling well. His doctor said " Wow, Kim

I can't believe this is the same kid " " He is so social & articulate " " He is not

showing any signs of being on the spectrum anymore " " You have really worked hard

with him " .  

I truly believe that the B12 shots, Super nu thera, glutithione, Zinc, Molydenum

worked for him. His blood work indicated he was majorly deficient in Zinc. He is

no longer on the spectrum. Yes, he is still extremely intelligent and can tell

you what major routes can take you to anywhere in the US. But, he does not

" obsess " about it. If it comes up in conversation he just rolls with it. I am so

proud of his progress. I feel like I really pulled him out of that window.

Helping my son fight autism has been the most rewarding experience of my

life. I know I saved him. I truly encourage you to Keep up with the shots &

therapies that are needed for your child. They take a while but DO work. Good

luck.

O.K. for 3 years I put off giving my now 6 year old son B-12 shots. My first DAN

doc prescribed them, I got them in and couldn't do it. My current doc convinced

me and we have been doing it for 3 weeks. It is tough!! We use the lidocaine

patch and ice, but he tells me how much it hurts every time (he never complains

about anything!).The reason I am posting this is that even through all that, it

is SOOOO worth it. He has improved so much I can't believe it. One of his

therapists is actually talking about having him reassessed to change his

diagnosis from AS to PDD. I know it is not one single thing but everything we

have been doing, but WOW!

P.S. If anyone has any other ideas of how to get around giving the shot or

making it easier, I am open to suggestions!
