Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have an 18 year old son who has Aspergers Autism and I use Biofeedback with him along with other therapies available to me. I have had great results with him. He is more relaxed, less combative, can concentrate more and is generally more receptive to change. The hostility is minimal and you can communicate with him much easier. JennyK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi Jessica, For ADD/ADHD, I have been using audiotherapy. It's effective, easy to do at home and generally affordable. As a licensed therapist in the USA, It may be paid for with certain insurances. Write me off line so I can paste your e-mail into papers that I can send to you with more info.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi Jessica, since your friend's son is 11 that she has tried some things I might mention here. The GCFC diet (gluten free, casein free) has helped many. It takes some commitment to do I imagine, and I don't know about any additional cost. My son was limited in his eating choices (food texture problems) that I looked at it but never tried it (the diet). He is very mild with Asperger Syndrome. Website: http://www.gfcfdiet.com/ Also, with an expert's help, has she looked at chelation? Or had any testing done for heavy metals? I know of some parents who have tried this. Here is one website, but I'm not particularly recommending this company, there are others; but it'll give you some info about it, you can research further: http://www.gdx.net/home/assessments/finddisease/autism/ Chris in NC , " Jessica " <diqqah1130 wrote: > > hi all, > i have a friend who has 2 sets of twin boys, in the first set whom are > 11 years old the second twin has severe autism. he had a blood > transfusion when he was born later on during toddler years noticed he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Jessica I work with Autistic Children. Get the book: " Enzymes for Autism and other Neurological Disorders " by Karen DeFelice. One of the keys is first healing the gut. This book should be her bible. Karen DeFelice just published another book on the same subject, but, I'm sorry the title escapes me. You can most likely google it. I suspect he began regressing around 18 months, when the worst set of vaccines are administered (ie: MMR vaccine) -Judy - Jessica Saturday, November 25, 2006 12:29 AM severe autism hi all, i have a friend who has 2 sets of twin boys, in the first set whom are 11 years old the second twin has severe autism. he had a blood transfusion when he was born later on during toddler years noticed he was different. anyways i am trying to do some online research to find something to help him because he is really out of control and i dont feel the wrap around services alone and special schooling is doing him justice. if anyone has any websites, books, or advise of any kind let me know anything is appreciated - jessica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 check out www.upledger.com Dr. John Upledger has made great break throughs using craniosacral therapy for autistic children. His book " YOur inner physician and you " has an example in there about it. Also Ellen Cutlers book the " The food allergy cure " Bioset treatments are allergy treatments and it can also help autism from a nutritional stand point...even enzyme therapy can help the absorption of nutrients that he may not be absorbing. I have heard people refer to diets that have helped their children. For example all organic. I think you will find the answer. Btw BIoSet treatments can be done at home yourself with the instructions from the book. Very simple! If you know how to muscle test it is very easy. Vaccinosis has been labeled a culprit for autism too. Good luck and best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Please look at some reading material regarding the indigo and crystal children as the kids are often misdiagnosed with autism and/or adhd.

This e-book is called The Essential Guide To Autism, and is by the author Rachel Evans. Evans is a very descriptive writer that takes you through the whole scheme of autism and really gets down to the whys and hows of this dreaded epidemic among children these days. Evans takes you from early detections of autism, right through educating an autistic child. I have included the e-book title and link below. The Essential Guide to Autism http://strmbank.aut1sm.hop.clickbank.net/ (if link is not active copy and paste the whole address into your address bar) Hopefully this will put an end to your internet searches. Have a Great Day, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 My son is almost 19 and is also Asperser's Autism. I use both diet and Biofeedback Therapy to help with symptoms. He has head trauma at 2 years old and a severe infection when he was 6 that the dr. couldn't figure out. It delayed his development about 5 months. Raw food diet, removal of all dairy products and refined sugars made a difference. Essentially the Feingold diet is what works for us. Steven will not eat eggs, that's his only eating issue. He doesn't tolerate milk. JennyK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I have a daughter who " was " severe autistic...now she's pretty much a normal, with a few quirks, child. She saw a wonderful doctor, Dr Mary Megson, who is a leading researcher in children with behavioral problems. Her web site is www.megson.com and she has found all kinds of things wrong with my daughter that provoke an autistic response. Basically my daughter's primary care physician slapped a lable on her and sent her on her merry way! Through Dr Megson we have discovered Ronnie (our daughter) has celiac disease (gluten intolerance), severe intestinal yeast problems, metal poisonings from lead to mercury, hypoglycemia, etc, etc, etc. Through diet, vitamin therapy, chelation therapy, and 2 prescriptions for yeast (on top of probiotic supplments, and a whole ton of garlic) she's brought our child back. Please have your friend look into it. And also get her to force them to do lots of lab tests on him. We're sorry for not having done this when the lable was first slapped on our daughter...if we had she wouldn't be behing 3 years.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I wanted to post and thank everybody who is responding to this, i am not closing out the search i still want to find as much as possible on this because the boys condition is not good he cant even communicate he makes weird sounds alot, acts out, squeezes stuffed animals and people, runs around, but then on the other hand he follows orders so he shows intelligence. theres a problem with keeping him on a learning level he regresses if u cant constantly maintain it. he had a teacher who worked with him she ended up being transfered there was a few weeks he went without and he regressed rapidly.. seemed like him being around younger kids in particular a couple toddlers he was trying to go back to that. a side comment on the one person who posted about his regressing beginning around 18 months the time the mmr is administered, the thing that is puzzling is he is a twin and they both got those shots and hes the one who regressed not the other one, thats around the age she noticed the regressing he wouldnt play with this twin etc.. a local doctor had an excuse saying theres a high autism rate in this area (western pennsylvania) and they think its because theres alot of old mines. i dont know about that but its a little info for anyone who may have more info. - jessica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Get him checked. Even if it's not the MMR vaccine it may be the mines. Our daughter was metal poisoned because of the freeway that runs about 1 block from our house. She had her MMR and the metal issues started showing up then (18 months) but when tested most of her problems were lead. I found out from the VA state Health Department that children under the age of 5 should not have a capillary lead blood test, but a venous one...something about the lead not being able to filter into the smaller veins of a child " s body. We're in a high risk lead zip code so she was tested but results were normal. I found out that they were only normal because the wrong test was done for her! Please have him tested...insist on all kinds of tests. Don't be happy with a lable being slapped on him. We were not, and we're real happy now that she's back to almost " normal " . , " Jessica " <diqqah1130 wrote: > > I wanted to post and thank everybody who is responding to this, i am > not closing out the search i still want to find as much as possible on > this because the boys condition is not good he cant even communicate > he makes weird sounds alot, acts out, squeezes stuffed animals and > people, runs around, but then on the other hand he follows orders so > he shows intelligence. theres a problem with keeping him on a learning > level he regresses if u cant constantly maintain it. he had a teacher > who worked with him she ended up being transfered there was a few > weeks he went without and he regressed rapidly.. seemed like him being > around younger kids in particular a couple toddlers he was trying to > go back to that. > > a side comment on the one person who posted about his regressing > beginning around 18 months the time the mmr is administered, the thing > that is puzzling is he is a twin and they both got those shots and hes > the one who regressed not the other one, thats around the age she > noticed the regressing he wouldnt play with this twin etc.. a local > doctor had an excuse saying theres a high autism rate in this area > (western pennsylvania) and they think its because theres alot of old > mines. > i dont know about that but its a little info for anyone who may have > more info. - jessica > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've worked with autistics for years and some of them pretty diffucult. the thing you want to remember is that autistics have a visual brain, for instance, if you show theme a picture of a dog and it happens to be a great dane, that is their definition of dog, and therefore, a german shepard cannot be a dog, too. Use this thought through your expierences. I have used picture cards for some of them that I have known. this one girl loved candy. when she didnt get that type of candy, and she couldnt ask for it, she would get grumpy and have an " episode " which resulted in physical safety issues. A professional from my state got involved and suggested picture cards that she could point to to let her needs be known and that helped a lot. All it was was just digital pictures on index cards that she used to let her wants be known. when she wanted that specific candy I spole about, she would get that specific card out and I would buy her some. The pictures were put into a type of photo album that she carried along with her at all times. Also,some autistics are super sensitive. I could be sense of smell or hearing or sight. even fluorescent lights can be reasons for these outbursts. there is a girl named Temple Grandin that is autistic wrote a book called " in a cow's eye " I believe. she also does talks to the public, and to this day uses these index cards that I talked about to help her keep a schedule of her speech. She ended up making farm equipment, designing it herself! If posssible, read the book and that could help you understand the disease better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
