[Guest guest]

Hi there-

We have just started ( well in June) to work with an amazing therapist.. He has

helped me understand and help me son more than anything else that we've done.

Is the Pfieffer clinic/center near you?

I am in ILL also but a little east of rockford. I have other resources as

well.My 11 yo son has AS and we are currently on the biomedical path. We spent

about 5 years just working on behavior and social/emotional. I came across the

biomed info at a time when I was receptive to it and it has been quite the eye

opener. If you are interested in BIOMED...check out TACA. I think it's taca.org

There is a whole clinic by you now..i think..With Dr's using the DAN protocol

(defeat autism now).

I just threw lots of into at you, so let me know if you have ??'s

taken him to so many people: western docs, 3 counselors, naturopaths,

homeopaths, craniosacral therapists, OTs, chiropractors and more. I just want

to find someone who will leave no stone unturned without making him feel like a

guinea pig. I want to find out if there could be something off with his

cortisol levels, seratonin or something else. I want to find someone I have

confidence in! so, we are in Rockford, IL...no a lot of resources. I am

wondering if any of you are in Chicago, Madison, Wi or Milwaukee and have a

really amazing holistic doctor to recommend. They can be allopathic, but I just

want a whole picture kind of doctor who knows his/her stuff when it comes to

aspergers.

For mild depression, try Sam-E and regular exercise. Many studies have shown

that regular exercise is equivalent or better than SSRI's.
