Guest guest Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hi! I have 5 year old twins on the autism spectrum, and my daughter "has a touch" of ADHD. Anyhow..we were seeing a DAN! doctor and both were on Vitamins & supplements. However, the cost of the blood work and the amount of testing required, plus the cost of the vitamins & supplements got out of hand, so I discontinued them, and the doctor. My son has actually done fine without them, and even started talking and doing better after I stopped them. However, my daughter still has problems with her behavior, especially at school. We changed schools because she was acting up, but part had to do with her environment. Now after a few weeks at her new school ( the same class & school her brother is in) she is starting to act up again. It isn't out of hand, but I want to control it before it gets there. She is taking things from other kids, and won't give it back, and tells the teacher "no" when they tell her to do so. She was in time out a couple times, but that didn't seem to bother her. When were doing the vitamins she was on 5HTP for a little while, and that seemed to help some. She doesn't have problems sleeping, but supposedly 5HTP helps calm them down as well. I know someone had mentioned Ginko Baloba for someone a couple weeks ago. Someone also recommended cod liver oil, which we did awhile back as well. I just don't want to do the drug route!! I am willing to go back to some of the vitamins & supplements, which I have done a couple to enhance their immune system, but I don't want to go to a doctor and get blood work done every other day, and pile on the vitamins again. Anyhow.. please help if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
