Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi, my name is . My husband and I have a 7 yr. old daughter with autism - PDD-NOS on the books. She was diagnosed just before she turned 4. It was difficult to diagnose her because she wasn't " classic " I guess, and she was very social and verbal up until 13 mos. - after her immunizations. Then her speech went away and we were assured time and again that she just had a speech delay and we might have to start speech therapy, which we did when she turned 2. We really didn't see much progress until starting ABA therapy at age 5. This is when she started using one word at a time to express needs and wants. We were thrilled! She also potty trained just before turning 6. Although she is still significantly delayed in expressive language, her receptive language has improved greatly. We have tried B12 injections, Auditory Integration Therapy, Trace Minerals, L-Carnotine, Buspirone, Naltrexone, and are still using ABA therapy and Carnosine and Behavior Balance (DMG). What I would like to know is if any of your daughters have problems with yeast that you know of? We are concerned that she might have a problem with yeast overgrowth, but our pediatrician is skeptical. We have seen a DAN doctor in the past, but he is moving out of this area. I would also like to talk to anyone in the group who might have a daughter similar to ours. , mom to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
