My 4 year old son is autistic. We have done bio-treatment, GFCF diet (which has helped a lot), B12 shots, clay baths, ABA Therapy, Speech Therapy. He's improved quite a bit from where he was...but i can't give up on him...i have to keep looking for something to help him. I don't have any family that really understands what this struggle is like and I would really like another mom to talk to when: he does something new that seems insignificant to other parents or when he is having an extra hard time and I just need somebody who understands.

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 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 :)

(I'm zipping the above to alot of people... I would love to see some parents find help for their sweeties. my email is [email protected] if you want to write. I do know the joy of little tiny bits of progress. :) my family doesn't get it either... noone really does so I do understand what you're going through. xo Ali )
