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] ↑ |

| elphick family, hello, if your husband and father are in denial, you have to do whats best for the child. my daughter is 23 years old and sevearlly autistic and mentally retarded, and I have a son the developmentally delayed, mentally 7, and when my son was born,hes 26 my husband wouldnt accept it either, but as time went on, I had to just do for the kids. after a while my husband adjusted. you just do what you have to, go to a support group for autism. learn everything you can. 20 years ago they didnt have a lot for moms, and I just got them enrolled in special schools, and went from there. you can do it! ↑ |

Hi there,
My name is Myriam and I have a beautiful 8 year grandson whom I'm sure is autistic. My son, the father (a doctor) is in complete denial and the mother too. I don't know how to get throught to them and make them understand the problem with my grandchild. Just recently, January, 2007, he had to be changed from schools because he just can't defend himself from other children. My grandson will allow them to do horrible things to him and he just refuses to defend himself. The last event at school was when a group of children in the school lunchroom put all my grandson food on the floor and made him eat it like a dog. Days later is was raining alot and the other children started throwing mud balls at him. He just stood there and did nothing. By the way, this school is private.
I love my grandson and we have special bond. I understand him and he understands me buy the father and mother don't. Please give me some advice. ↑ |

| I have a 4 yr. old son with autism. He was diagnosed when he was 18mo. old with autism. I immediately started researching and advocating for him and my husband went into complete denial. Eventually, he came around. I think it's typical that mom's react by doing everything they can to help their child and dad's react by going into denial. Most mom's i've talked to say that they reacted that way and then eventually accepted it. Just be there for your husband...it may be that he is so upset by it that it's not that he doesn' t really not believe but that he doesn't know how to cope with it. Unfortunately, that makes it really hard on you because until he accepts it you have to take the load on by yourself. Contact your regional center and see if they can offer you advice on how to help your husband come to terms, or take him with you to a doctors appointment. I hope he comes around soon for your sake. Good luck to and your little one. If you need someone to talk to or any advice feel free to email me at [email protected] ↑ |
