Guest guest Posted August 28, 1999 Report Share Posted August 28, 1999 has seizures. She is on depokote for them and we haven't seen any for almost a yr. Her last EEG was normal. She did have a wide gait until we started realizing that she had seizures but soon after getting her seizures under control, that disappeared when walking. She runs very awkwardly and is sorta gawky. She is 6 and is just learning to pedal a tricycle. She is sensitive to some noises, but that is getting much better. She use to scream but now when it is irritating her she will get agitated and restless.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 1999 Report Share Posted August 28, 1999 I am also wondering, do any of the other girls on this list do hand clapping? mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 1999 Report Share Posted August 29, 1999 We have done AIT, twice in Bethesda, MD with a Tomatis group. AManda seemed a little better for awhile with noise sensitivities and begin less autistic. Anyone else have this response or tried this clinic?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 1999 Report Share Posted August 29, 1999 will clap when she is excited or really happy about something. She loves clapping songs. The hand clapping isappropriate though. She will occassionally flap her arms when she is very very excited but that isn't a whole lot anymore.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 Abby has a wide gait as well. Her arches also fell sometime in the past and she is now totally flat footed. I wonder if it is connected at all to her odd gait, or just something that would've happened anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
