quitting therapy

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm thinking of quitting therapy for my 27 month old. We just use the minium

school

special ed services and it's all free. He goes to " preschool " once a week for 2

hours and

has one hour a week with an autism therapist in home. My son really enjoys it

but honestly

I don't see that it is crucial for him to go. They do give me ideas on how to

challenge him

with new tasks but really they have not done one thing for him. We go to other

typical play

groups where my guy can play with other kids. If I depended on therapy alone my

kid

would be in a very sad and unhealthy place. When he was diagnosed at 18 months

he had

floppy child syndrom, low muscle tone, spaced out, stopped turning/answering to

his

name, clumsy, walked on his toes and stimming on vertical objects. Now just with

minimal

intervention with diet, enzymes and gentle homeopathy he is developmentally on

target

(as far as I can compare from typical kids his age), great, appropriate

language, strong

and loves to play and climb. The stimming or scripting is greatly reduced and is

completely dependant on how he feels and if he eats something he can't tolerate,

which

could be a slice of squash for gods sake or practically anything. When I take

him to autism

preschool, I always feel so sad because the children just look sick to me. They

often have

low energy, winey, spacy and very crabby. I want to scream, it just feels like

such a stupid

charade to try and teach a sick child to catch a ball when the bigger issue is

to heal their

body. The therapists have seen amazing improvement in my son and are excited

although

uninterested in his health as I explain what we have done. Now, I want to make a

bigger

step in healing my son with a yeast protocol and most likely ALA chelation. I'm

prepared

for some regression and there may be some hard days ahead as he heals. I don't

want my

son being " analized " on these hard days. It's obvious the therapists would not

understand,

if I try and explain what I'm doing. I want to just heal my son the rest of the

year and re-

evaluate his his need for therapy when he is three. How do I get out it, what do

I tell them?
