Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 And our one neurologist recommended polarized sunglasses to wear in the stores that bother her, due the fact that children with neurotransmitter issues can see every flash of the flourescent lighting. up to 88 per second..... Has anyone else dealt with this, or any suggestions. I have asperger's and hypothyroid. I can see the blinking and hear the high pitched squeal of these lights and it makes me very edgy. It is like looking at a strobe light while listening to fingernails on a chalkboard. It is much worse when I have not stuck to my gfcfsf diet or if I have a lot of artificials. -Undiagnosed Asperger's Syndrome Stay at home mom to 3, Wife to -6-6-02-Autism Spectrum, the light of my life Katy-11-19-03-undiagnosed genetic syndrome that includes cleft palate-Pierre Robin Sequence, scoliosis, heart defects, short stature, low muscle tone, developmental delay, oral defensiveness, g tube fed part time-working on oral feeding, slightly dysmorphic features, and my joy J.D-no issues except he is totally in love with mommy, cutest baby in the world visit my blog http://busiestmommyinamerica.blogspot.com " If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is there a book or something ? Or can you give doses please . My daughter is 5 and weighs about 42 pounds. From: The Sweet Attack <thesweetattack@ verizon.net> Subject: pyroluria miraculous change Date: Wednesday, August 12, 2009, 11:46 AM HI Again, I told the group about 3 weeks ago about the miraculous change my daughter has experience since her treatment for a positive pyroluria test, treating her with zinc.B6 combo with niacin(b3) and how I have this different child overnight. WEll she is still going strong, and is doing great, many of her tics, screaming with every word, running all over the place, total defiance, insomnia, destruction, most of it is gone, totally gone. She is helping with chores, riding and singing in the car, having nice conversations with family and other children--it truly is wonderful, and that is why I shared it in hopes the books we recomended would help some. We only have 1 issue left mainly, when we go in certain stores, we feel it is the flourescent lighting, but only certain stores or doctor offices she goes bonkers---- pulling out her hair, hitting or spitting at me, total dangerous situation. But as soon as we leave the store, within 10 minutes, she is back to a wonderful calm child. Now before we started all the B6/zinc b3, she was always wild, horrible in fact. And our one neurologist recommended polarized sunglasses to wear in the stores that bother her, due the fact that children with neurotransmitter issues can see every flash of the flourescent lighting. up to 88 per second..... Has anyone else dealt iwth this, or any suggestions. Jen----getting to the bottom of it Mother of lauren 5 yr old ketotic hypoglycemia, pyroluria, Asberger's, ADHD-- which most have dissapeared YEAH!!!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi, Bit late answering messages. It is not only the switching that occurs with fluoro lights, some children who have auditory processing problems can also here it, and the other problem is the lux of the lights. Hoodies and sunglasses help. Also, if she can be tested for scotopic problems then Irlen lenses can assist. I would also suggest that behavioural optometry using prisms would also assist as well as an ASD specific sensory profile. Regards, Sylvia, Australia, Psychologist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
