Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 , Both of my boys take Taurine. is NT, but with all the medical issues that has. doesn't have any stims anymore. So, I can't answer about the stimming. What Taurine does seem to do for both boys is keep them asleep at night. Until I began giving it to them this spring, I hardly ever got a full night's sleep. Both boys sleep through the night now. I ran out about a month ago and was waiting to reorder. I realized within about a week that they both had been getting up during the night again. I reordered and within 2 days of starting the Taurine again, they both slept through the night again and still do. My boys do not sleep as much as most kids their age, but at least now they don't get up in the middle of the night anymore. : ) Jody mom to 2.7 and 4.10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 I found references to taurine on Dr. Holmes site, under the phenol section, where she says it helps with the opioid effect. The fact it is on Dr. Holmes site makes me think about metals issues, in addition to the fact she includes it under the phenol section of her site. Here is that link, you can find it under the " free sulphate theory " section. http://www.healing-arts.org/children/autism-overview.htm I also found it on Kirkman site, you can read their description if you would like. http://www.kirkmanlabs.com/products/specifications/Taurine/H_Taurine_C _100_Spec.htm But in both of these places, it was not described as something to reduce stimming, so I don't know if it will help with that issue. > Has anyone tried Taurine and did it reduce stimming? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 I know someone who uses it and have sent an email for some clarification of benefits. I know they saw alot of improvements in concentration and I think, also, better playing with less obsessiveness about toys. I'll forward her response when I get it.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Janet: How much taurine are you giving your son. How old is he? I'd like to try this for my older son (now 5 1/2) since he sometimes has problems with attention, especially in school. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Thanks, Janet. I'm getting a lot of good feedback on Taurine for many things, but haven't heard much about stimming. It does sound like it's worth trying, though. > Hi , > > Holden gets 2 taurines per day.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Well, we tried Taurine and it caused agitation and an increase in stimming. But my kid always seems to do just the opposite of almost everybody else's kid.
