Guest guest Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Help oh autism gurus of the Enzymes and Autism list! I have a 4 year old boy with autism - he's so hyper, I think it drives *him* nuts (me, I'm long past crazy). He doesn't have any sort of attention span. Seriously, there are cats with better attention spans than his. He needs new and more stimulation to be happy. For example, if he's getting really squirrelly, I take him to Walmart or Superstore (a big box grocery store) or Costco. At church, he's happiest afterward when everyone is milling around talking in a million conversations. He has energy galore, but is interested in say, the trampoline, for less than a few minutes. I'm talking like seconds of jumping, done. But he'll hike in the woods for 3/4 of an hour (God help me if he ever gets lost!). TV? Forget it. Plus, he has a hatred of certain ads that borders on hysterical (iPhone ads make him bolt for the tv to shut it off) There are other issues, to be sure, but this is the one that is bothering all of us the most right now. He simply *goes* non-stop. And I cannot. Simply cannot. I mean, he's got a 15 month old brother! Right now, he takes Organika enzymes with food (trienza was a disaster!), a California Poppy tincture that's supposed to calm him a bit, Biocidin, a good probiotic 45 minutes or more after the biocidin, a tiny dose of lithium (250 mcg), glycine, and 1.5 mg melatonin at night if he's still awake at 9:30. Ideas? West, shanwest@... 2010-07-04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
