    • Close Autism / Autism Spectrum

      I had a hair analysis done on my son a year ago.It showed he was 95% toxins.I didnt chealate.Now I am ready to remove toxins.My son goes swimming at O.T.I think is great.I wish insurance paid for natural paths.I am trying to get I.B.I. for him.I just moved to Missoula MT from PA.I was surprised the support meetings are so few people here.The school is great so far.He is in a special-ed preschool class with both NT and ones with disabilities.He is currently nonverbal and is starting to use signs.

      Treatments

      Brushing Therapy Not Working
      No benefit really.My son just giggles at me.
      Early Intervention Working / Worked
      Has improved.
      Floor-Time Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Doing myself
      Occupational Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      He recently started licking his arm to the point he soaks his shirt.I thoght occupational therapy is suppose to help with this.I dont think its working.He loves going swimming and he gets to do that once a week.
      Picture / Word Schedules Working / Worked
      Pec cards are working,but how sad for someone to hand a card for everything they want.
      Risperdal Working / Worked
      It seems to help with my sons irritations.I dont like him on medicine he is only four.Who knows the side effects really.We are all guineypigs.More natural cures should be pushed not ones that benefit the pharmicutical industry.
      Sign Language Somewhat Helpful
      It took a year for him to learn the sign for more.Its better than none.
    • Close Sensory Integration Disorder

      My son is moderate autistic and has S.I.disorder.Im really confused on how he reacts to everyday things and want to help him.He goes to occupational therapy,but I often feel its not enough.He is seeks so much he wont sit still not even for a few minutes.I really want to know if noise is painful to him,or just scares him?

      Treatments

      Brushing Therapy Not Working
      My son just giggles at me when I brush him.
      Occupational Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      He gets to go swimming with his O.T.,and that is great.He loves to be in water.I havent really noticed any improvements to sensory issues though.
