I think it best if your primary doctor refers you to both centers for an

evaluation with a cochlear implant specialist. Also, have you had a primary

audiology test from a hearing aid center so that you have a printed test you can

take with you and talk about? That would be the first thing to do.

Just one suggestion, if you haven't already tried it -- has your husband sat

down with your daughter & discussed this with her? Just the two of them?

If she holds him in such a high regard, he should be the one to say something

to her - some reinforcement that it upsets HIM when she is so disrespectful

to you when he's at work. That it upsets him when she makes you sad because

" when mom is sad & upset, so am I. "

Maybe give her more of a choice on when you participate with her.... instead

of sitting down & coloring with her uninvited, just casually say, " if you

would like some company, let me know " or something like that.

Who knows..... it might help a little.

My son who has ADHD, OCD, Aspergers is very much like that. I try to play fight

with him or tickle him like I do my daughter and he gets angry and tells me to

go away. I try to play his games with him and he clams up and won't continue

playing till the door is shut and I have gone away (he checks to see I am not

hiding behind the door listening to him). We don't live with his father so not

sure what he is like with his dad, I think he plays more with his dad but not

sure. He will play playstation with me and let me read him a book and that's

about it. has always been like this - so I am assuming it his Aspergers

coming though where he loves his own company, but not sure. But he does give me

lots of hugs :)

Sorry I can't help......

Hi April,

I know this sounds hard, but , don't argue with her. When my daughter was

hospitalized, the therapists told me, my relationship with was

deteriorating, because of the fact that everything was a battle with her.She

told me she hated me , amongst other things constantly. Our relationship was

torn down, was how she put it. I had to build it back up with her, seeing

couldn't do it. She was 7 at the time. Now she is 9 and we have a really

great bond. I didn't think we ever would.

What I did was use only positive reinforcement with her. Every single time she

did something right or didn't argue. I would reward her , with praise, sometimes

a small piece of candy or sticker etc. When she was whining or screaming etc, I

would ignore her, even though she is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to ignore, I did. She

began to realize that she only got my attention through behaving. My daughter

has been diagnosed with bp, ocd, odd, adhd, and pdd-nos. The therapist said

these kids will push you over the edge. I will say though, that I also have an

11 yr old daughter who does not have any problems, and she argues over

everything also. She drives me nuts! For her, it's a puberty thing, but I've

been doing the same thing with her. Girls, Puberty, and mental healthe issues

are so difficult!!!!!!!!! Not to mention my 4 yr old son, who copies everything

he see's!!! I'm right with you, going nuts!!!!!

Hope maybe this will help a little

Hugs

Had to have a quiet giggle about your 11 year old daughter my nearly 11 year old

can be a handful at times as well :) She likes to think she is going on 16,

sometimes it is harder than dealing with Chris.

though I have no advice to give, I'm glad to hear that I am not alone. I

have an 11 dd doing all the same things. It is only with me nobody else. They

always say you always hurt the one you love. All I can say and do is just keep

loving her she will come around so they say. The thing I love about this group

is you realize you are not alone

seeing how many others and all ages are experiencing the same things as he is

feeling. Seeing him smile and out and doing things w/his friends!! ....

Hi, go to the site above and view the

video they have put together on early signs. Does your child point at things?

Does he look towards you when you say his name? I think viewing the site might

be of help, and then ask us more questions. My son did not point, was very

serious, didn’t crawl, lined up toys, many other

signs. He is 15, Asperger’s and doing very well. Ask away after the video…Gail

My son is 13 months old. He has always been a fussy

baby. But up

until now I thought he was pretty normal other than being fussy and

wanting a lot of attention. Last week he had the MMR shot and the

flu shot with the mercury in it. After that he got a double ear

infection. Less than a week later he started flapping (but we've

only seen it twice) and then he started grinding his teeth (Saturday

and Sunday). I don't know if the grinding could be normal and just

a symptom of his ear infections. I've just got this worry

As well as the thryoid help you will get here, there is a really nice

guy who know a lot about pituatory and how it relates to thyroid and

adrenals and stuff. You could maybe have a chat with him too.

Hi Nicola

Good to have you with us again, but I wish it was under better circumstances. I can feel your frustration. Having a normal TSH (as most of us know well) does not mean that you do not have a thyroid problem. You need to ask your GP to give you a FULL thyroid function test. This consists of TSH, a Free T4, a Free T3 and antibody test. When you get these, post the results onto the forum, together with the reference range for each test (your doctor will give you these) and then we can help you in interpreting them to find out what is happening. At the same time, also ask your GP to test your ferritin level (stored iron) as this is one of the conditions that actually stops your thyroid hormones from being absorbed properly by your body, and if it is very low, can be a cause of hypothyroidism.

I would also get the 24 hour salivary adrenal profile to see where your DHEA and Cortisol levels lie at four specific times during the day. I have attached details from NPTech Services and you can see the tests they do and the prices they charge. If your cortisol and DHEA are outside the normal reference range, this could be another cause of your thyroid hormone not working as it should. These things are not known within the NHS unfortunately, and could be the reason your endocrinologist is baffled as to what is wrong with you. The other conditions that can stop thyroid hormone from working are Candida Albicans, low Vitamin D and mercury poisoning (Do you have any amalgam fillings?). You can read about these on our website www.tpa-uk.org.uk and click on 'Hypothyroidism' and then click on 'Associate conditions'.

Tell me where you live and I will see what see what we can arrange regarding seeing Dr Peatfield, or perhaps there is another good doctors who is knowledgeable about thyroid disease in your area.

Is your GP giving you any medication for your high BP?

You could first try the two questionnaires in our FILES of this forum on Adrenals and Candida and see how you score, before spending money on the tests.

Hope this helps.

Luv - Sheila

[Guest guest]

Hi Nicola,

Hypothyroidism can be a very confusing disease. Sadly the NHS

does not tend to do the vital free T4 and Free T3 tests if the TSH comes

back within range. In your case as you have pituitary problems this is

vital. If the pituitary is unable to produce TSH, then the thyroid will not

be told to produce thyroid hormones- hence the symptoms, and free t4 and

free T3 levels would be low. It is sad that you endo does not seem to

realise this.

You can get you own tests done through http://www.NPtech.org and you can

email Dr Peatfield at drbarrypeatfield@... or phone him and ask his

advice on 01883 623 125. I think Wednesday is his phone day- keep trying as

he can be very busy. He got me well after 17 years of illness.

Subject: I need advice

Hiya all

I am being treated by my Endo for a pituatry disorder and now I see

that might be conected with Adrenals and thyroid.

My Endo tells me I definately do not have a thyroid problem, my THS

level in april was 1.9 miu/L

I really would like to see Dr P but cannot find if he is anywhere in

my area, but also very scared to go down this line also I am unsure

how to get the tests done.

My prolactin is very high and my blood pressure is also very high

plus I am very over weight which does not please my Endo.

Thanks for listening

Nicola

Take your salt as a hot drink in a normal sized cup (I take it with the juice of a lemon and some honey). Chase it with a cup of water. Then have another drink of water about an hour afterwards. Then just drink a glass/cup of water every hour and/or at meal time. I used spring water and allow myself a bottle (1.5 litres) every day. I just aim to empty the bottle and it usually works out that I do without to much stress. You can split your salt dose too. Sometimes I take some in the morning and some in the beginning of the afternoon. There's no need to walk around feeling bloated. MacG.

Okay, I never was one to eat breakfast but I need to eat more protein through out the day. I took my iodine at 6:00am. Salt loaded a hour afterwards, and of course pounding down water. How do you eat breakfast if your stomach is full of water? SHould I just drink 16 oz of water then hold on off of more water until after I eat?

Thanks . I followed the directions of 8oz warm water with salt then you have to follow with 16 oz of more. I was only bloated for about a hour and a half so at about 10:00 am I will cook breakfast.

I have a 4 year old son and these days he keeps touching my nose or ears and

saying " this is a nose or that's ears or whatever which is great because he's

late speaking but he is quite big for his age and it hurts when he's pushing my

nose or pulling my ears and when I tell him to stop he thinks it's funny. I've

tried givivg him time outs and he says sorry but does it again later. I'm afraid

he will hurt someone. When he wants to play he often runs up to a kid gives them

a shove and runs away laughing (no matter the time or place)I keep hoping that

when his language skills improve he'll change but what can I do now??

[Guest guest]

My son used to do the nose thing. In retrospect, I think it was a familiar routine so he did it to comfort himself. I don't know if I could call it an all out compulsion, but it was a habit of sorts. I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that he will eventually stop doing this if you keep redirecting him and asking him to stop. The bad news, in at least our situation, is that he will replace it with something else =) We have seen a variety of repetitive behaviors (both physical and verbal) since D was a baby. He's 14 now. It's usually common phrases he'll repeat now though. He dropped the nose thing when he was about 4, if I remember correctly.

My wife and I went to a conference last year and the guy said socially Aspies are about 2/3 their age. So the pushing and running away isn't out of the norm. We just had to inculcate over and over again the boundaries issue. Sometimes it helps if you do it to them. For example you might push on his nose while hes eating or something. When he protest just give a big smile and say, "Seeeeeee now imagine how whats his name feels when you do it to him". We try to stress that when someone says, "Stop" they really mean it and that is what you should do. Its hard but as he learns he'll eventually learn about personal space. Its just he might have to have it explained to him a bunch of times where as a NT child might just figure it out on his own.

For example, and this was before we new he was ASPIE, our son was at Sunday School (he was maybe 2 1/2 or 3. He gave another boy a big hug. I heard the boy ask him to stop but he kept on hugging the boy another time or too. I think once the boy got upset by son wanted him to feel better. Anyway finally the boy pushed my son to the ground. I didn't know much what to do but I explained to him why it happened. Eventually he stopped hugging on kids his own age. He is now 6 and doesn't display any real personal space boundary issues. Hes seems to have learned the social rules on this. He'll get there.

I recently saw someone (full blown Autism) give a commencment speach for their high school. He referred to his autism as a learning disorder. His parents literally taught him how to speak by practicing a few words at a time weak after weak. The doctors had told them that he'd have to be institutionalized. The kids said that was true except the institutions were colleges wanting to give him scholarships. The point is that perhaps it simply is a severe learning disorder. Its not that ASPIES can't. Certain things are just 10 times harder. I try to explain to people that Aspergers is to social skills what Dyslexia is to reading. It can be overcome but it takes lots of extra effort.

I learned something very interesting from my son's OT, which is that some people

have very poor body awareness and do not instinctively understand the

appropriate amount of force to use in any given situation (in my son's case it

is a part of his sensory issues). One of our issues was door slamming, which I

had thought was just bratty 3 year old behavior. We tried the time outs, etc.

with no result. After the OT mentioned that it might not be entirely

intentional, we took her suggestion and did " do-overs " with my son helping him

practice closing the door with just enough force to get the job done. Guess what

- it worked! Maybe your son could benefit from being taught exactly how much

pressure is comfortable for you when he touches your face.

As for pushing kids he wants to play with, my son tends to start pushing too

when he gets excited about playing with certain kids. We have not resolved that

problem yet, but we are trying to teach him that when it comes to other kids,

the right amount of pressure is none - that hands should be kept to himself.

Definitely still a work in progress though, because it is much harder for him to

remember those messages when he is excited.

Good luck,

Bridget

I would find a good book with body parts and start having him point to those body parts so that he can continue learning his words and showing what he knows. Praise him for pointing to the book body parts. Grab his hand if it comes near your face and say "no" firmly and if he doesn't stop or redirect back to the book or back to something else, get up and leave the room or area. I wouldn't have a discussion about it except to say "No touching my face" or something similar.

You could write a social story as well to deal with it but I think it would be most important to get him into a social skill group to start learning boundaries and social skills. Kids won't like being poked or grabbed any more than you do. He seems to have no social skills which is the problem for all of our kids.

I think you have an underlying sensory issue going on. Some kids with sensory

processing disorder are hyposensitive (seek more input). Home exercises like

carrying heavier items or making a " couch pillow sandwich " with him in the

middle are good starters. But I would suggest you discuss this with an

occupational therapist who is familiar with sensory processing issues.

You can look up a bunch of books on Amazon by doing a search for sensory

integration or sensory processing. Here's a link to some activities and general

info on sensory processing disorder:

My son used to do the nose thing. In retrospect, I think it was a familiar routine so he did it to comfort himself. I don't know if I could call it an all out compulsion, but it was a habit of sorts. I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that he will eventually stop doing this if you keep redirecting him and asking him to stop. The bad news, in at least our situation, is that he will replace it with something else =) We have seen a variety of repetitive behaviors (both physical and verbal) since D was a baby. He's 14 now. It's usually common phrases he'll repeat now though. He dropped the nose thing when he was about 4, if I remember correctly.

I have a 4 year old son and these days he keeps touching my nose or ears and saying "this is a nose or that's ears or whatever which is great because he's late speaking but he is quite big for his age and it hurts when he's pushing my nose or pulling my ears and when I tell him to stop he thinks it's funny. I've tried givivg him time outs and he says sorry but does it again later. I'm afraid he will hurt someone. When he wants to play he often runs up to a kid gives them a shove and runs away laughing (no matter the time or place)I keep hoping that when his language skills improve he'll change but what can I do now??
