Constant scripting/vocal stimming

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I haven't posted much here yet. We are gearing up for AC chelation but I have a

question about something else.

My son who is 11, has done alot of scripting since he was about 7. He's pretty

verbal and very capable of communicating with us verbally, but he scripts

ALL.DAY.LONG. Just talking to himself constantly. Not only is it driving us

kinda crazy, it's distracting to him and his peers. He's in 5th grade and this

is really a big huge factor that is impacting his progress.

Any ideas what could be causing this and if there's anything biomedically

speaking that could help it? To me, it seems like it could be yeast but last

time he was tested his yeast was actually fairly low. We keep him on Candex and

VSL3 and occassionally Culturelle and that's about it.

Does this sound like chronic yeast? Maybe it's there and we aren't treating it

properly? Or could it be something else? In addition to the scripting, he's very

bouncy and sensory seeking.

I'm planning to ask this same question in another group as well, just so you all

are aware.

Thanks SO much for any and all advice you may have!!
