HI,

MY SON WAS DX WITH PDD AT 27 MONTHS. HIS PED. FOLLOWS PROTOCOL/GFCF

DIET. PUT MY SON ON IT. SAW IMPROVEMENT WITH SPEECH AND EYE CONTACT. MY SON

HAS SEVERE AGGRESSION ISSUES AND SLEEP PROBLEMS DID NOT HELP THIS. AT AGE 3 MY

SON SAW A CHILD PSYCH. WHO PUT HIM AN RESPERADOL FOR EXTREME PDD BEHAVIOR

POSSIBLE MOOD DISORDER. THIS HAS HELPED WITH AGGRESSION BUT NOT WITH SLEEP

ISSUES.

TENEX AND CELEXA MADE BEHAVIORS WORSE.

GOOD LUCK.

My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS just after his third birthday. The

" traditional " route (neurologist, special ed preschool with a little speech and

OT) brought no improvements.

It wasn't until I put him on a diet (originally GFCF) that everyone saw

improvements. Switched to the diet (with restrictions on additives) about

six months later and then started with Dr. Goldberg when he was 4 years old.

Been working with Dr. G for over two years and are very pleased with my son's

improvements.

Let me know if you have specific questions....

Oh Gosh, please be careful with the Risperdal. You will find with time that

your child has severe urination and thirst problems that will take some time to

overcome.

Thanks~~

My son was also diagnosed at 3 with PDD-NOS. We treated allergy and

yeast issues as best we could while doing speech & OT, and saw quite

a bit of improvement. He was seen at the New York clinic in

April, and that has been the final piece of the puzzle for him. His

speech is now age appropriate and he attends a regular kindergarten

class.

ROSE,

COULD YOU GIVE ME MORE INFO. ON THE RESPERDAL? WHAT CAUSES THE URINATION AND

THIRST ISSUE? ANY OTHER PROBLEMS I SHOULD KNOW? THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT.

Hello I just caught this thread - my boy was on this drug - a very very low dose

he was around 50lbs and on I think from memory just point 2 of a ml in the

morning - this just settled him nicely and gave him an appetite which he needed

- I noticed when I went over this dose he would have wet pants problems I was

told its partly a muscle relaxant and this may be why. He did well on this for

about 18months - then I noticed he was starting to stutter suddenly and this got

worse very quickly - so I took him off it and the stutter went away. I was

worried it may be the beginning of tics or something sinister.

This was all before I discovered Dr Goldbergs protocol and he went onto Zoloft

with good results.

Terri

I'm not sure. It creates almost a diabetic-like effect. We took Kristian off

it about a year-and-a-half ago after using it first, as a need-based sedative

and then daily for a year or so. We had severe aggression for a few solid

years, but taking our son off milk and later chocolate and working with Dr.

Goldberg, we now have minimal problems (knock on wood!!!).

Just that the problems become very severe. I know some others on this list

went thru the same thing. Our son was peeing everywhere and all the time. TO

the degree that they wanted him to wear a tank swim suit during the day at

school so he didn't have such urgent access.

Good Luck~~
