Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I know how massive those achievements are for our ASD kids. A very good sign you are going in the right direction.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 , I'm so happy for you and your family! Progress like this makes the frequent dose schedule so much easier. > > We are on round 12 of ALA and DMSA. I lowered the dose this weekend to > 1.5mg ALA and 3mg DMSA.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 That's great! She is lucky to have a mom like you who notices and appreciates these accomplishments and cheers her on Being an " autism mom " is rewarding because we get excited over and over for our kids' successes. > > We are on round 12 of ALA and DMSA.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thank you As much as I hate autism, I wouldn't be the parent I am now if Ruby never had it. We appreciate every little thing. I am finding that I am appreciating my NT 14 month old's progress more too. It's all amazing. But for our asd kids it's so big. And I agree, we are lucky that we get to see so many new things with our kids. > > > > We are on round 12 of ALA and DMSA. I lowered the dose this weekend to > > 1.5mg ALA and 3mg DMSA.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Wonderful! Barb [ ] OT- A little more progress We are on round 12 of ALA and DMSA. I lowered the dose this weekend to 1.5mg ALA and 3mg DMSA. A half hour after giving Ruby her third dose of the day she walked over to her tricycle, sat on it properly and pushed herself back and forth! This is a kid who is terrified of riding toys. Her tricycle has been sitting in the basement for months untouched. She kept laughing and saying 'tricycle' over and over. She was so proud of herself that she was doing this. I was and still am in shock! Just wanted to share this. This is so huge for her. She has always screamed over riding toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
