Less than a half hour later an old friend called and wants to get with me about opening our own business.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 >>He is always seeking some kind of approval for us and gets very upset if things do not go in a particular order. I have 2 sons and my older ASD son (now almost 7) was very difficult from age 3 1/2 - had problems with change, easily angry and frustrated. The problems started when he was 3 1/2 and my younger son was 9 months old and I thought it was because his brother was competing for attention. But now my NT 4 1/2 year old is doing some of the same things although milder - I can reason with him which I couldn't with the older one once he was upset. I think it is a developmental stage but more severe in ASD kids because they can't express what is going on as well. My older son got better as he got older. We only found out that he was ASD at 6 1/2 - he is high functioning, very verbal and clever in math and science. Did well in school etc.... Are you coping with your 5 year old's behaviour? I would try a few less radical options as long as the behaviour is not dangerous to the baby or really self-destructive. Patience and perhaps some changes in food, supplements may help. You don't say what diets or therapies you are doing with him. My son did much better on lots of vitamin b and some omega 3 and 6 oils. The B complex helps with production of seratonin and had a calming effect on my son. There are supplements specially formulated for calming effects and one I know of is called B'Calmed (I think). I've recently added enzymes which are helping with food issues as well and they seem to be enhancing his happiness - refered to as the 'Happy Child Effect'. You might do some research on seratonin and try various minerals and vitamins that are necessary to help the body make it. He might be low on some of them. Seratonin levels are implicated in many neurological problems including depression, anxiety and so on. If you do decide to give some sort of medicine, I would do research on what the medicine is supposed to do, possible side effects etc first. Some anti-depressants are very hard on the body or are hard to go off of again. Good Luck. Abby [ ] (unknown) Hi, everyone. I was wondering has anyone had any experience with depression or anxiety problems with their children. My son is 5 1/2 and may have some signs of depression. His doctor says he more has an anxiety disorder and wanted to try him on paxil. He actually tried zoloft for about 2 weeks but seemed more anxious to me. He is verbal but unable to express his feelings. I am just very confused because to me his being a typical 5 year old as far as his behaviors plus he has a younger brother who is 1 and has to share alot of the attention with me and his father. But because of his autism his is not able to express his wants and needs and I think he is frustrated because of that. Am I just being blind and should I try to give him these drugs to help him and to make him calmer and happier or is it just a faze he is going through. He's been worse since the birth of his younger brother and I just don't now about going along with the doctor who has only seen him for one session. Help anyone. I am one confused mommy. I want to do the best for him but I don't want him to suffer. He's such a smart little boy and I don't want to mess things up for him. HELP!!! Thanks for listening.

I want to do that but afraid of doing it on my own. Hi Sharon I did it without a doctor. My son started having petit mal seizures and I started doing research on them. Came across information that they are caused by stress (knew he didn't handle noise, big groups etc) so when they suggested massive doses of Vitamin B to control them, I tried it. It worked for the seizures but it also made him much calmer, happier and so on. This reaction made me wonder as I had always thought his problems were just his personality. My dad is very easily angry (probably qualifies as Asperger's sufferer) and my husband is very quiet and had low muscle tone as a child. So I started researching things and reading lots. I've done a 2 year home study course on Herbal Medicine (not completed yet but started more than 3 years ago!!!!) and am a computer programmer which means that I can do lots of research on the Internet. Found several groups on the Internet and got advice, read hundreds of e-mails etc.... If you aren't comfortable with doing it on your own, no problem, find a doctor who will help you. Best is to get a recommendation from someone as there seems to be a wide range of doctors out there - from those who are experiementing to those who know what they are doing. I would join the Enzymes and Autism Group ( ) as they discuss supplementation lots. Perhaps their are other groups that you could join as well. I can't handle any more e-mails, so I haven't gone looking. Have you started chelating? Many parents have had success with that as well regarding aggression. I haven't done that yet as I want to have hair tests done in a month or so. Have you read Dana's web site? She discusses chelation, diets, supplements, lists doctors and so on. I think it is http://www.danasview.net She has 4 kids, 2 were ASD and she has done everything on her own. Regards Abby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I have heard 2 tablespoons of cherry juice helps for sleep. But, the trick is finding the pure cherry juice! I can't find any around here. Haven't been on much, been feeling really awful lately. Found out today I have strep throat (it is going around my daycare like crazy). I'm hoping it clears soon. Becky [ ] (unknown) Hi everyone I feel a little bit annoyed today as I went to my doctor to ask for sleeping pills but he refused to give me any. Since I have been diagnosed with RA I have had great difficulty sleeping. I just cannot seem to get comfortable in bed because I have RA in my neck and back of my head so lying down isnt always comfortable. I have tried sleeping upright but this doesn't work. I have loads of very soft comfortable pillows but to no avail. The outcome of this is that some days I feel so absolutely drained and tired that I dont function properly. My doctor suggested I try some homeopathic treatment but I have tried this before and it doesnt work. Can anyone give me some advice. Do you think taking sleeing pills are a bad thing I would like an opinion other than his because he isnt a very sympathetic man at all. Thankyou and sorry for whinging. --------------------------------- WIN FREE WORLDWIDE FLIGHTS - nominate a cafe in the Internet Cafe Awards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, I recommend shopping for a more compassionate doctor. Secondly , and without knowing your allergies, meds or anything else (DISCLAIMER!) a lot of people can take 1 benedryl capsule at bedtime and it helps them sleep. That is the sedative ingredient in Tylenol PM, among other OTC sleeping agents. So if it isn't contraindicated, maybe you could try that? Plain generic diphenhydramine (benedryl) is cheaper than when it is labeled as a " sleep agent " . Just a thought. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Mark, Coordination seems to be related to the link between the basal ganglia and the cerebellum. The cerebellum sends some kinds of motor instructions and the basal ganglia reviews the results to see how accurate the output was relative to what was expected. Of course the motor impulses are planned and sent from the frontal lobe, back from the prefrontal cortex to the central sulcus (the split between the front and the back of the brain, running through Cz.) So a very slow frontal lobe might well be expected not to do a terrific job of planning and putting together clear orders for muscular activity--especially more complex activity. I would certainly try some frontal lobe slow-wave squishing. I would also try (if beta is not already pretty high) Cz beta up and theta down, since there are good connections between Cz and the Basal Ganglia. Pete Van DeusenBrainTrainer ()16246 SW 92nd Ave, Miami, FL 33157305/321-1595 (unknown) I am working with a young boy 10. He has a history of coordination problems? Lots of slow wave activity in the front +45%. He is also ADD. Anyone have any suggestions about what to look for in the eval or done any training that has addressed coordination?Mark Nowicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 - kacey That is so awesome that you are getting all of this coverage!! You go girl!! By the way, I just looked at your pics for the first time and you look way better without the implants. You have a great figure!! It amazes me how many of the women on this site had breasts that were plenty big to begin with. I always felt like such a freak. I had no breast shape at all--almost totally flat. Look at your typical male and that is pretty much me. I even have small nipples and aerola too. Everyone who posted a picture has much larger breasts than me. I guess I would like to know how many of you on this forum were actually extremely flat like me--not even filling out a 34AA padded bra. I guess I am still in the minority even among those getting breasts implants!! So I guess I am curious- -who else is extremely flat beside me? Its funny, I am doing this B.E.S.T. therapy and it is a holistic method and the practioner can get a feel for what your body is/was feeling to keep itself from being healthy. The first thing she said to me after examining was " I am getting a strong sense of shame from you " . I was floored!! She then asks you to think about that shame while she does an " energy adjustment " . Then you have to go home and practice forgiving. Yourself. others. whatever. Well, that night I started this exercise of thinking of shame and forgiveness. The overwhelming feelings of shame at being so blatantly flat and therefore " not feminine " came racing back. I realized how pathetic it was that I would be willing to cut open my body and put a bag filled with fluid in my chest to try and appear like I had breasts. It really felt good letting go of those feelings!! I guess I have gotten way off topic. Just wanted to say that I appreciate all the efforts you are making to spread the word and perhaps save someone else from going through all the pain and suffering we have endured!!

I havent posted any pics because I am so flat chested . But, I much rather be like this than have those implants that made me so sick. So you arent alone I know what its like.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi Kathy. I feel you on the " flat " issue sister! My situation was a little different tho...I had about a B cup left breast, but due to what doctors think might be something called " poland's syndrome, " I never developed a right breast. It was pretty much just a nipple. So, I had a really hard time growing up. My mom had to alter bras for me and sew padding on one side. Now (I was explanted about 7 months ago) I'm back to where I was before except my left breast is even bigger now!!!...so now there's even more difference between my left and my 'non-existent' right. I wear mastectomy bras with a prosthesis on the right side. It doesn't bother me nearly as much now tho after going through the whole implant nightmare! I guess I had my priorities put in check!
