Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hello all, I have a 5 year old son who was diagnosed with ASD a few months back. He is a former micro preemie (born a 510g). He's got a mix of symptoms. I've been researching like crazy trying to figure out what is going on and seeing if we can get some or all of his symptoms under control. We have an appointment next with with a DAN doctor and we'll begin investigating things with him as well. I started him on broad spectrum enzymes almost a month ago and have recently switched him to Trienza to see if that will help both with his ASD and growth. The question I have is could my son's failure to thrive and his autism symptoms be very closely related? He's at about the third (3) percentile for height (38.5 inches) and weight (27.5 lbs) and hasn't put on much weight since January. He's pretty energetic and constantly on the go. When his autism symptoms don't get in the way he can learn. I'm thinking that his autism is somehow related to his brain being starved in some way. Is that possible? Anyone have any comments on this one? Thanks Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
