Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I am in the US. I actually debated for awhile about getting my daughter evaluated. Still do! LOL Only because she had other medical conditions that the dr.'s seemed to think were causing the delays and that after medication changes and with therapy she would catch up and we've seen some improvements but still very much delayed in several areas, has definate sensory issues and presents with several other autism like symptoms, but she's very verbal (which I was told was the one reason none of the professionals in her life were considering autism as a dx) and she is currently getting as much help as possible at school and privately that we could possibly get for her and a autism diagnosis won't change that. So I really debated for sometime. The school said they would test if I specifically requested it, but I didn't ask them... felt they'd be to biased as they already have some pre-conceived ideas and they are the ones that think that because she is so verbal, that she isn't on the spectrum... However I just had these thoughts nagging at me and knowing what I'd read about so far and all (the internet can be such a great and powerful thing, yet scary at the same time!) that I really needed answers for myself. So I recently asked her Primary care dr. to refer her, he actually has shown additional concearn with her delays for awhile but was taking the neurologists word on the previous medications needing time to get out of her system and that their effects were long lasting.... So he had no trouble making the referral for me. will actually see a dr. that specializes in testing and treating children with ASD's on Thursday and the following Thursday for a full evaluation. Although I will meet with the school's 'people' on the 5th to find out what they think, because in the mean time they decided that she needed to be formally tested prior to going into Kindergarten. So we'll end up with 2 different sets of results to consider and taken about the same time so it will be interesting to see if they concur or not.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Grace was speech delayed a lot when she was younger but she can very much hold her own in conversation now as long as it is on topics which she is interested in ie steam engines, dustbin trucks, dogs, horses, etc. She comes out with quite a lot of longer words not typical for her age and her speech and language therapist said hat she is very unusual in her eloquence although she often uses words incorrectly. I think Grace is probably AD (H) D although she is only the H if she has had additives in her food, being careful with her diet we can prevent her form going hyper, she is a different child when having had additives, a true night mare. Her Uncle gave her some sweets last months whilst we were on a day out I was so cross with him as she turned into a complete little monster. I do not think he will be doing it again. I am very fortunate that Grace does not need meds at the moment, I am very much a believer in natural treatments, Grace sees a cranial osteopath with good success and has seen a homeopath before. I am quite interested in different diets to help autism but have yet to do research on them. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 That's great progress Angie! can tell me who her classmates are by picture, except for the newer ones... Her class is made up of 3-5 year olds and children are added to the class as they turn 3 throughout the school year and qualify for school based services. So we started with 7 children (with one teacher and two aides) and are currently at 16. They will continue to come till school gets out in June. But she can't answer questions about how her day went or what she did that day... except she will always say she played with play doh... which I don't doubt, it's one of her favorite things... but it won't go further than that unless I ask her specific questions... but that gets hard too because more often than not her answer to everything is yes... I was showing her teacher one day and asked her if she played with play doh... yes, did you play with Mrs. ?.... yes. Did you take a nice nap? .... Yes. Did you play outside on the play ground? Yes.... Did you fall? Yes.... (no she didn't) Did you fly to the moon? ....Yes! So it makes it difficult to know how her day was and what the activities were without the help of the parent notebook that lets me know what she ate, how she ate, and if she slept and what their activites were that day. knows that her name starts with R. She can count to 15 or so in english, though the teens get kinda jumbled in understanding what she's saying... she can also count to 10 in spanish. She knows all her colors in english and many in spanish too. (All with help from Dora) She is just now starting to recognize letters other than R and O. Which Leap Frog Letter Factory helped a lot with that... but she's still not at a point where she knows all the letters, or even half of them. What really made me know there was something different in her is that my mom is a foster mom, she has children of all ages frequently but she currently has a little girl (who's name is also ) that is just a few months older than my , and she's got a grandson that is a year younger than . I babysit them all from time to time. Back when was turning 3 (he's now 4) he was here and just wouldn't stop talking about his birthday and what he wanted and who was coming and how much fun it was going to be. He was always excited about these types of events, Halloween he was months ahead of time saying what he wanted to be and how it was going to be so great and how much candy he was going to get etc. Same of course with Christmas etc. has absolutely no comprehension of what it means to have it be your birthday or what happens at Christmas time or any other holiday... and it's obviously not because we don't talk about it or try to play it down in anyway. But if you ask her what she wants from Santa, you get a response that has nothing at all to do with a gift or anything. This last Christmas she did actually take notice of the presents and loved opening them, but it was only the opening she was interested in, once that was done she was fine to walk off and go play with all her old toys, not even understanding that the new stuff she got was for her to play with now. I know they always say that you shouldn't compare your child to another of the same age cause they all develop at their own rates, but as a parent is incredibly difficult not to. Especially when you see a child that is the same age and has grown up with her and till the age of 9 mo. was doing all the same things as the other.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I respect your feelings and opinions. And I realize that this discussion group has members from very different cultural, national and religious backgrounds. And I'm sorry if I possible may have hurt your feelings or morality with my suggestion about porn as a sex therapy. But I agree with the insights of modern sexuology. Most sexuologists, sexual therapists and marriage counselors worldwide agree with the following basic perspectives, based on sexuological research: - Open communication in intimate relationships about sexual feelings and techniques are often helpful in restoring sexual functioning, especially if moral or emotional factors seem to contribute to the sexual problems, like shame and guilt. - Sexual fantasy, sexual roleplay, sexual products and porn can support sexual therapy to enhance libido and quality of orgasm. > > My understanding is this a a serious group for people suffering not a place to push your porn. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 If you look over past posts from the previous years you will find that members have always been fairly explicit about sexuality and their use of porn to help with PSSD and Steve's post was nothing new. I personally am not offended by it.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi " Wife " , welcome to our group! I've 3 sons myself (single parent) and all grown now (ages 22/twins and 26). My OCD son also has Aspergers, he's 22. His OCD began in 6th grade, little " quirks " before that. He had some sensory issues also. Many kids do though, both with & without OCD or Aspergers. His twin (not identical) had some at a young age, still a couple things he doesn't like, feel of certain materials, etc. But I didn't realize how many (OCDer) had until he got occupational therapy (OT) in 6th grade. He had more things bothering him than I knew. The OT really helped in that area, he was getting it for help in writing, but they worked on the whole body. He did get a bit of OT in elementary school, we just tried the " brushing technique " but didn't keep it up well, so stopped. Well, didn't get OT itself, the OT just recommended the brushing to us after doing an OT evaluation. Can identify with the teasing, bullying, but luckily none got physical for . I was also teased/bullied when young so I'm sensitive about that stuff when others going through it. took Celexa in 9th and 10th grades, wonderful med for him. He ended up on 50mg. Prior to that we used inositol powder during middle school. It did help with his OCD then. Have you heard of it? It's considered to be in the B vitamin family. It's a 50/50 chance it'll help, others have found it helpful, others not. We tried it again twice at least since then but didn't touch his OCD, have no idea why. With inositol dosage, ended up around 13 or so grams a day, others have found much less helped. There's an article " Inositol and OCD " on this website that you can read (along with any others listed, all are good OCD articles): http://www.wsps.info/index.php?option=com_content & view=category & id=36:ocd-and-re\ lated-subjects-by-frederick-penzel-phd & Itemid=64 & layout=default Other products that some have found helpful are by Native Remedies. MindSoothe and PureCalm are the products there. http://www.nativeremedies.com/ocd-alternative-treatment.shtml I imagine you know about diets related to autism, but some have found the GFCF diet helping with OCD too. Just some quick thoughts, glad you found our group. It's been my best support through OCD! single mom, 3 sons , 22, OCD, dysgraphia, Aspergers just finished up at UNC-Chapel Hill!! -- In , " wife " wrote: > > Hello, > I am new to the group and looking forward to reading advice from others in my situation. The little I've read so far seems like I have found a wonderful group. I am the mother of a 13 year old son that was diagnosed at age 7 with Sensory integration disorder (an autism spectrum disorder) and OCD which I'm told is also in the spectrum. Since then ADHD has been added. I've suspected autism since about 18 months of age and after 1st grade I suspected OCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hello, and welcome to the group. I'm sure we parents of kids with " special needs " could write a book on bad advice we've gotten from pediatricians. :-/ I haven't read others' responses yet, but I'm wondering whether you could get help from books, in the interim, while you're waiting for him to have insurance coverage again. There are books and workbooks that can help you coach him through coping with his obsessions/compulsions. You might also want to contact your local public mental health center to see whether they have any child psychiatrists and counselors with expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy for kids with OCD. They might not -- but it's worth a shot, and they bill you on a sliding scale based on income to make it affordable for families without insurance. My daughter also has OCD and sensory issues and is on the autism spectrum. She's been on medication since she was 8 (SSRIs, like Prozac and Zoloft, plus other meds as needed). She's 17 now, and after all these years we've finally found a therapist whose expertise really seems to fit her needs -- she offers cognitive behavioral therapies including exposure response prevention (the so-called cognitive behavioral therapy she got in the past was really more supportive counseling, which is a good thing, but not enough). We tried the homeopathic route for a while. The doc thought the remedy he gave her fit her like a hand in a glove and would actually *cure* her OCD. It didn't work. However, the nutritional supplements he put her on (5-Hydroxy Tryptophan & L-Tyrosine plus a multi-vitamin) seemed to help, so I've kept giving them to her. Unfortunately, that stuff is expensive too. One final thought, to you have the book the The Out of Sync Child? When my dd was your son's age, that helped me more than anything. It not only helped me understand and address her sensory issues, but I think it helps with the anxiety/OCD too. 17 y/o dd with OCD, anxiety/depression, NVLD & Asperger's > > Hello, > I am new to the group and looking forward to reading advice from others in my situation.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 My daughter had a fear of all things technological, for fear that they would come alive and hurt her. When my own OCD was bad, I feared contamination could come through the computer, tv, or telephone somehow. What worked for both of us was the OCD medication called Anafranil. (We actually take the generic form now.) I can't begin to tell you the difference before and after my daughter has been on it. Her fears seemed almost psychotic in nature before and not anymore. Good luck! new to group Hi, I have a 12yr old daughter diagnosed 1yr ago with OCD. We did ERT/CBT for 7 months which worked for handwashing and other things like repeating and checking but her anxiety while she was in school (worried I wouldn't get her from school) continued so we decided to try meds. Prozac was used for 3 1/2 months which caused her to cry and be depressed so we are now doing Zoloft. We aren't really seeing any improvement yet. She is still worried about hair dye getting on her and continues to ask if silverware/dishes are clean. She now doesn't believe she has OCD and will not use anything to do with technology. She won't use phones,computers,watch TV,doesn't want to go in car,won't eat food from fridge now because that is technology. Is this OCD? Our therapist pretty much tells us she can't do much for us anymore and psychiatrist doesn't know what this delusion is. I feel like we are not getting much help or guidance. I'm sorry to make this so long but felt I needed to give the jist of what's going on. I would appreciate ANY kind of input as we feel so lost as to what we do.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 It all sounds like OCD to me. Your therapist is not experienced enough with inventing exposures to deal with it. I would make some up myself around first thinking about touching the least frightening of the technology things, then actually getting near them then touching then using etc. Also find a new therapoist (easier said than done) What dose ofzoloft?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 once went thru a period where he couldn't access certain internet addresses. Can't recall which ones, no reason, but, say, if didn't end with ..com then OCD wouldn't let him go to them on the internet. Now - I could look at them and print out info for him when he was doing reports/research, but OCD would not let him go to them on the computer. There could be some *technology* thing to her OCD. Sometimes they can't explain exactly why with OCD, sometimes they just don't want to share why. Has she said why? How does she expect to do school assignments? so much on internet now. I think if she gets all anxious about this, then it's OCD, not some " trend " (can't think of a good adjective right now) that she's decided to do or stand she is taking against technology, etc. Quick thoughts, > > Hi, > I have a 12yr old daughter diagnosed 1yr ago with OCD.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks so much for your thoughts. I have been so desperate to figure this all out especially since the therapist didn't impress me but being new to this I just went with it. We are on Zoloft 37.5mg/day. So I've heard that you just have to keep trying to find the right dose and right med. We are hoping this is true but haven't seen much difference so far. I am currently looking for the right therapist also. Thanks again. Jackied > > It all sounds like OCD to me. Your therapist is not experienced enough with inventing exposures to deal with it.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 My daughter isn't fearful of technology in that way she is just insistent on not using technology. She feels very strongly on using only natural resources, she showers and gets dressed in the dark, uses bathroom in dark, she is in a panic if I make her come in from the other room where the lights are on. Otherwise she just sits in another room in the dark. She refuses to answer the phone and panics if I try to make her. She asks me at least what feels like 100times a day if any hair dye got on her she only wants natural hair. She is limiting herself to eating only fruit now and insists she is going to live in a tribe in the rainforest. I don't know how any of you handle the frustration everyday with this, I feel like I can't take it anymore sometimes. I guess you just keep hoping it will get better? Thanks so much for your feedback. Jackie > > My daughter had a fear of all things technological, for fear that they would come alive and hurt her.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 If you don't think the therapist can help anymore, try to find a new one. A therapist experienced with ocd can make all the difference. My ds had contamination ocd. After wasting 4 weeks with a dtr that didn't know how to treat ocd, we found another and after 12 weeks of ERP, I had my son back. During the bad days, I didn't think there was any hope for improvement. Just try to take it one day at a time. Hang in there, it can get better.
