| Don't wait for the diagnosis, which is very important, but get on with getting help for your little boys rigt now. The sooner they get intervention the better. I have two children with autism and I wish I could have gotten help for them at 21/2. My kids love cuddles too and can be very affectionate. My son is very gentle Speech therapy is very important. The waiting is hard. Here in Australia we have long waiting lists for everything. It is very hard coming to terms with a diagnosis of autism and my childrens future is what worried me the most. Just take one day at a time and get that help. ↑ |

| Hello rachtwins, Yes it is hard when you realise that perhaps there is something different. You're boys sound like my sonhe is also 2 and half, except he doesnt spin objects. He does however have little speech, limited eye contact and flaps his arms. He also walks on his toes. There are ways to help them and early intervention is fantastic! I also had the thoughts of what will becme of him, but I have found somnething that has helped him greatly! I am very happy to share this with you if you want. My email is [email protected] Hope to hear from you, I would love to help! Kind thoughts, felicia ↑ |

| Jack's story.... After the 12 mos. vaccines my son gradually slipped into autism. He was head-banging, hand-flapping, twirling, lost speech, lost eye contact and he just withdrew. Now two years later.... no head-banging, no twirling, no flapping, has eye contact and is starting to verbalize again. And... he has Down Syndrome to boot. :) Yes... even kids with DS get autism. Actually they get it at a higher rate. What helped him? First I give God praise.... our son wouldn't be here without Him and we prayed and I believe He guided us. Second... supplements. Especially cod liver oil. I recommend Green Pastures CLO with the X factor. Check out Dr. Mary Megson's work on the web. http://www.diet-studies.com/megson.html Our Jack healed gradually... but he is healing. I actually had to make myself GET USED TO him not twirling everything any more! Also check out Dr. Amy Yasko's work. www.holistichealth.com We give Jack alot of supps - cod liver oil, probiotic, magnesium citrate, tart cherry and recently we added cilantro. He takes some other things too but each child is unique. It helps to find a good naturopathic MD or chiropractor. Don't use supps until you research things for yourself. Cilantro for example...should possibly not be used until some other detox has been done. Don't give up. There is hope! And... I will be frank here.... many mainstream doctors know squat about how to heal autism. Don't let that throw you. There are people who do know how to help. God bless you! Love, Jack's Mom :) [email protected] ↑ |
