Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Okay I am a lurker and read everything but never post. I have an 9 year old boy with AS. He was diagnosed a few years ago at that time we were living overseas but decided that we needed to move back to the US for him to get what he needed. Anyway we have tried so many things to help him and a couple of months ago I decided to start some vitamin therapy for him. He was pretty upset about the amount of vitamins he would have to take each day but agreed to give it a try. I felt like I saw some improvements but wasn't sure if it was just me wanting to see improvement. Then came Easter. We do not live near family but were invited to be part of a friend's family celebration. There were a lot of people and it was pretty chaotic there which normally would make my son anxious and begging to leave. At one point we looked outside to see him playing catch with one of the kids there. He won't even play catch at home with me. Then when it was time to leave he actually said that he wasn't ready to leave could we stay for a few more minutes, he remembered to thank the hosts of the day and sought out his new friend to say good-bye. Plus he had remembered the other kids names. It was amazing. I am hoping this continues but I am really encouraged. I have always dreaded big events because of the breakdowns but now am seeing a huge change and he is actually starting to be social. I just wanted to share this with you all. I never thought my Jedidiah would be this way even his younger sister was talking about the way he behaved the next day:-) Hope you have a great day, Mom to 4 kiddos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
