Hi,
My son was born at 24 weeks. He is now almost 3, and I have seen things ever different about him then my older kids. People are telling me he is just delayed, but I feel there is more to it. We are unable to go out in public with him, cause when we do he gets so fustraded and acts up. He talks very little and dosn't seem to understand much. He can not carry on a conversation at all. Yesterday he stood in an ant pile and came to us not crying just say uh... I looked down and seen his whole leg covered in ants. After getting them off he acted like nothing happend. To me most kids would of been screaming and it would of strung and ictched. But he just went on playing like it was nothing. I in my mind think he shows signs of mild autim or artist. I was wondering how old can they determain it and how to they know if he has it? Maybe I am just overreacting, but I would like to know then find out later in life. Could someone please talk to me and give me there views on this. my email is [email protected]
and thank you so much. ↓

I say to trust your instinct and investigate this. It will be worth it. If you are wrong, great! If you are not wrong, then at least you are on the road to helping your son! ↑

Hi! That must have been upsetting! And boy do I understand about the "not being able to go out" part.!! Maybe this is something you should look into though. It doesn't have to be a bad thing. Don't be scared of the results. If it's negative, fine. If it is positive, it will only help give you greater insight into your sons way of seeing the world. The more you know, the more you can help him. :) ↑

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] ↑
