Can you please ask your mom to read this? :) It's been hard for all of us. But we have found some help over time. I hope things get better for you. Hang in there!!!!! Love, Ali ;)
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] ↑ |

Dear Leah,
People with autisum is not that violent. I have aspegers which is a milder type of autisum. I think she may have multiple personality disorder or maybe bipolar. Ask her mom to take her to the doctor and get her a test for bipolar. People with bipolar can be very agressive please please get her tested for bipolar. ↑ |

| Dearest Leah, First i want to tell you that you are a very brave young girl, and i am so very proud that you want to learn how to cope with your sister. It is never easy and sometimes you feel very sad and confused.I am a mommy with an autistic son. He is 7 years old. He has a sister too and she is 6 years old. They fight a lot and he hits her and teases her all the time. Sometimes i also leave them to fight and get finished, i get tired of trying to stop him all the time. His sister, Kyla, has tried everything to stop him from hitting her but there is only one thing that works! ....... When he starts to hit her she gets up and goes and fetches his favourite toy (his cars) and she pretends to play with them. That way, he forgets why he was hitting her and would rather play with his cars. Then she will tell him not to hit her again or she will take his toys. I hope you can try this and that it might work for you. Good luck my dear and you are just as strong as she is when she picks you up but your strenght is your love for your little sister. ↑ |
