new kid on the block

[Guest guest]

ita and the other new members (sorry, I forget names really fast)

I am a sometimes lurker, sometimes big talker, I guess it depends on my day.

I'm mom to , DS-ASD, ADHD and ODD. He's going to be 10 next month. Hardly

seems possible that 10 years have gone by. He was diagnosed ASD last year in

February, at the age of 8. I always knew he was different than other kids I had

seen with " just " DS.

He's on Risperdal and a gf diet. The gf diet eliminated the Dexedrine he was

on, and allowed him to reduce the amount of Risperdal he took. It's a hard diet

to follow, but well worth it for . I homeschool, because he is pretty high

functioning. He's in 1-2 grade level, with writing in 3rd (cursive). He hates

writing, actually he hates practicing anything. Once he knows it, he assumes

once he's learned it, he won't have to do it again :-).

We're Navy, and stationed in Hawaii right now (I know, tough duty, but someone

has to do it). DH works with the Navy Seals, driving the boats for the Seal

Team. We retire in 11 MONTHS!! WOOOOOOH-HOOOOH!! I'm originally from Cape

Girardeau, Missouri, and he's from Granite City, Illinois (2 hours north of

Cape, 10 minutes east of St. Louis). But I have family in Arkansas

(ville). We'll probably settle in Granite City, as there's a school for

autistic children there. I visited it last October when we took the new baby

home to see family, and for to see everyone. They are excited about

getting , as they don't have any dual diagnosis at this time. They seem

willing to accept the challenge......

Well, I guess this has gotten long enough. Welcome to the list everyone. It's

really been great to have a bunch of people who understand the specific

challenges of the dual diagnosis.

Since we're discussing age, I forgot to add that I'm 36. I guess it depends on

who you're talking to if that's old or not.

ita,

Welcome! I'm Gail, Mom to 4 year old Seth, our youngest. Our oldest is

almost 25, so I dare say, I am probably near the top of the age range! LOL

Long? your post was not long! The good part is you can write anything you

posts!

[Guest guest]

ita,

You are not the oldest here. My son and wife ita are almost 28.

daughter Charlotte is almost 29. There are several others with kids in

their 30's I think. We haven't got to 13 yet, JJ is only 6. Welcome to the

list.

& Garry, parents of (9), (8), JJ (6), (5), and

Esther (3). All adopted & with Down Syndrome.

[Guest guest]

Welcome to ita from another of the " older ones " .

I have five children, ranging in age from 32 down to Elie who is 14yo with all

the alphabets- DS/ASD?/PDD-NOS/OBD?/ and a teen to boot. Elie talks, but not

necessarily on the topic one needs from him. He likes to " Elope " , usually at

dusk. And many other charming behaviors that get discussed ad nauseum on this

list (like feces, body parts, sex, unseemly behavior in public, etc)

Again welcome to our world.

Hi everyone!

I just found out about this group from Farrell, and boy am I

glad. It is wonderful to know there are others out there riding in

the same boat! My name is ita and I live in Redfield, AR.

I have a daughter who is 27,(I think I may be one of the " older " ones

from reading all of the other posts!!lol. I have a son, Reuben, who

will be 13 next month,and has . I'm also a grandmother

(Avorie,11 months).

I've realized from reading all the posts, that I have a lot to

learn! Some of this stuff, I've never heard of!. Reuben used to have

some speech and could understand some sign, but to get him to talk

now is like pulling teeth. He can do it, he just won't. He is on

Tegretol for seizures. We've tried some meds (Risperdal) with no

success. He's not really hyper. He mainly sits and rocks back and

forth, and flips wooden spoons. He does run off sometimes when he

thinks we're not looking! He is so strong, tho. He doesn't know his

own strength and he loves to hug Avorie! We really have to watch him.

There's a lot more I'd like to talk about, but I know this is

already too long! Again, I'm so glad I found and now all of

you. I know i'm going to be really blessed by this group! ita

Welcome to the group. My name is S and I have 5 kids, the youngest

well our kids do with change, and the school was all out for inservices

his nose and trying to wipe it on the sub! " I am still......LMAO (thanks

At your local chemical supplier. Check your phone book under chemicals, and

when you find one ask for potassium hydroxide.

Welcome Lynne with an " e " from Texas,

I've been lurking on this group for several months now and have learn a lot

about sprouting. However, for the last several weeks the email has been

pretty sparse, but I'm sure it will pick up again.

Dear Lurker,

There is only so much you say about the process of sprouting and

consuming sprouted foods. So lurk on!

Welcome to BFL!

I dont have any advise on the supplements, I only take xenadrine, which is only

because I had ordered it before i started and have 2 bottles of it.

" supposedly " its supposed to work really well. But who am I to say. But other

than a fat burner thats all I do. Theres alot of people on here that take

different things so I'm sure they will tell you about it. Good luck with your

challenge!

Hello Everyone,

I will be starting my first challange on Jan. 1 2003. My goal is to

lose fat and tone. I would really appreciate some advice on

supplements. In particular I was wondering about creatine. Have any

of you used creatine?

[Guest guest]

Kim,

Thanks for the reply. I have also tried Xenadrine, but was not to

thrilled with the ephedrine in it. After doing some research, I've

heard that Xenadrine EFX is supposed to be just as effective without

the ephedrine. I was thinking of giving that a shot. Thanks again.

That is alot for a child to take in. How is he doing now? Lots of people here have had a hard time with the schools, so I am sure you will get alot of advice if you ask for it.
