Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Just wanted to tell you something funny that happened. My son takes classes through a charter school and has an hour between two of the classes. So I took him to a KFC/A & W fast food place. We were sitting in a booth, next to four women who were gabbing the whole time. Geesh, they were loud. Anyway, we finished eating and for the first time, DS stood up and threw his food wrappers, cup, napkin, everything!! in the trash! My mouth dropped open! I gave him the biggest hug and almost started crying. I told him I was so proud of him (my 9 yr old) for throwing out the trash!! I even swung him around. He was so excited. That's when I noticed the women in the ajoining booth had all stopped talking and were looking at us like we were nuts! I can just imagine what they were thinking. Even DS was laughing about it when we got back into the car. We left those women totally stunned. I bet they had a lot of talking to do once we left. Ha! DS is almost completely over his OCD symptoms. Once in a great while I'll see him shake his hand or foot, but when I asked him about it, he tells me he didn't realize he did it. He thinks he's doing it out of habit because he says he doesn't feel any dust there any more. It's weird but I've almost forgotten how bad it was. I do remember thinking the bad times would never end, but they did! Now I'm off worrying about the whole High Functioning Autism thing. Anyone else with a HFA child? Still, to me having a child with HFA is not as much of a problem as the OCD was. (This is just in my case of course.) Thanks so much for this list. I know my son wouldn't be where he is today if I hadn't found this list. I wouldn't have pulled through either. We wouldn't have discovered Inositol. I just can't imagine what we would have done. Thank you all, Debbi in So. Calif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hi Debbi, This is the greatest story! How long has your son been taking inositol? How soon did you see positive results?
