I'm 25 and a mother of two. I'm very worried about my son. He's just turned three and is a great kid, but seems to be behind in a lot of areas. His vocabulary is limitied to about 20 words. He speeks in one word sentences. He loves his alone time, and his favorite toy is Thomas the Tank. He never plays with other kids more like watches and smiles. He's very loving to me and his family. I know looking into his eyes he's a smart kid.
I feel helpless because at the pitt of my gut I know there's somthing wrong and have for a long time. What should i do?

i felt the same as you. what do other family members think? take him to see your G.P and push for answers dont be afraid to stand up to authorities, if he needs help, its there but you have got to push for it, i know what you are going through but please try and stay positive and i will be thinking of you.

IM 22 AND HAVE ONE SON.... I WAS THE SAME AS YOU.... JAMES IS ONLY STARTING TO TALK NOW AND HE JUST TURNED FOUR... MY BIGGEST REGRET IS NOT VOICING MY FEARS EARLIER ON WHEN I KNEW DEEP DOWN LIKE YOU THAT SOMETHIN WAS WRONG.... GO AND SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR NOW AND DONT BE A BIT AFRAID OF WHAT THEY THINK .. YOU ARE JUST A CONCERNED MOTHER LOOKIN TO DO THE BEST FOR YOUR CHILD THAT YOU CAN,
ID THEN SUGGEST THAT YOU MAYBE GET A PHYCOLOGIST TO ASSES HIM... ONCE THIS IS DONE(IF THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH HIM) YOU CAN GET HIM THE HELP HE NEEDS!!
I DIDNT BELIEVE IT WHEN I WAS TOLD JAMES IS AUTISTIC..... HE IS THE SAME AD YOUR LITTLE BOY... SO LOVING AND AFFECTIONATE... ITS JUST HIS SPEECH.... JAMES HAS COME ON SO MUCH IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, HE IS LIKE A DIFFERENT CHILD AND IS FINALLY STARTING TO COMMUNICATE...
LET US ALL KNOW HOW YOU GET ON WITH HIM!!!
MY EMAIL IS [email protected] if you ever want to chat...
I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THE BEST OF LUCK...

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]
