View from a Recovered Child

[Guest guest]

Here's an interesting You Tube video of a child with autism. You Tube

has some fabulous videos on all kinds of things, even scientific

studies. I have learned a lot from You Tube videos.

Heidi,

Thank you for sharing the link to this video! Our 19 yr old daughter

is at a level comparable to this young man. She and I watched it

together. Then I looked at his website and viewed the 2nd and 3rd

videos plus read the 1st chapter of the book he is writing.

Fascinating! Clearly we support his recommendation to cut out dairy

and wheat. That was something we did early on when she was 3 yrs old.

The idea of having a child involved with plays also was something

that was done starting in the Preschool Intervention program offered by

our school district. Then I enrolled her in a community theater for

young children when she was in kindergarten thru 5th grade. Her older

sisters had been involved with plays and the theater so this was a

natural path for her. She also took ballet lessons which led to

dancing in the Nutcracker Ballet 2 different years. Now after watching

You Tube video, I better understand why those activities were of

benefit to help her connect with the world outside of herself. Today

she is a very social person.

My son credits diet, B6/ magnesium, treating infections, AIT, vision therapy, boy scouts, and playing video games with helping him a lot. According to , it was the music in video games that helped him understand emotions-his and those of other people. He played with the neighborhood kids when he was small, and if he misbehaved, he got sent home-just like any other kid. Being treated like the other kids helped him mature. He still has Crohn's Disease and Lyme disease, but his interests and activities for a 22 year old are pretty normal. He wants to go to college when he gets healthier, and he has a girlfriend that he intends to marry.
