Guest guest Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 Doc and all, I have the 10 yr. old son with autism. I called Doc 6 months ago for help with William. My original goals before I spoke with Doc was to have William " manageable " so he would never have to live in an institution. He was aggressive when he got frustrated and I had a terrible fear of how to handle him when he got bigger and stronger than us. He was also sooooo hyper! I just wanted to let you guys know that we have exceeded that goal that seems so small now but was monumental at the time. I just knew my precious son was going to have to live his life sedated. He is no longer aggressive, doesn't scream anymore and is very calm. He sleeps good and our daily life in general is so much easier. We got a puppy earlier last year (he about 8 months now) and those 2 were made for each other. They are inseparable and have the best time together. We still have a long way to go (no speech yet) but I know we are going to get there! NEVER SURRENDER YOUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2002 Report Share Posted February 1, 2002 Ann, I am so excited for you! What a blessing Doc is to us. I keep telling people about William and his progress hoping they will turn around and start using alternative meds. Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
