I also find that children on the spectrum crave predicability. When giving

medications/supplements its best to use a visual schedule. The child learns

real quickly that he/she will get supplements at 8, 12, 8. Not only does this

provide the child with information, it helps them realize that nasty tasting

stuff will not be coming at them all day long. Parents can hang the supplement

schedule on the fridge with a picture, identify the time, and use the same

words every day......... " TIME FOR MEDICINE " said with a smile of course:) I've

had some children who pick up quickly, they will remind the parents!

Much love,

Pam

Visual Schedules is one of the few things I have not tried. I also went

out & bought some emergen-c today to try instead of sprite. I have

truly tried tons of tough love & am still trying it. My son throws up

on us frequently from downing pill or syringes. He is well

supplemented. I have been doing this for 10 months with a now 3 year

old who has gone from moderate to mild on his ATEC. I do not let him

cheat on his diet EVER, but infractions have happened. I am sorry if my

rant on the difficulty of supplementation offended you, but has been one

of the hardest areas of this for us. We are having a difficult time b/c

they now want to evaluate my older son for ADHD or AS. Every one in the

house is going pure GFCF. I just wanted to share my difficulties &

hopefully help some by recommending stevita.

Speaking solely for myself, I was talking in generalities. I hope you feel

supported and not negated by what I've said.

FWIW, my son threw up on a regular basis before the gfcf diet, and any

emotional upset would cause it. I guess he was dealing with near-constant

nausea at the time. Is there some sort of activity that could distract him

from the administration of the supps while it's going on? Is it the

emotional upset that causes him to vomit, or a tender gag reflex?
