Any hopes for speech?

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody,

This is probably going to be a long post, but I really need to share my fears

and thoughts and hopefully get your opinion and experience.

Few days ago my son got evaluated from developmental pediatrician and of course

found him to be autistic. We already knew that with my husband, so nothing

shocking, although 2 years ago when we went to developmental pediatrician

assessment they found that my son is not autistic but with sensory

disintegration disorder – underactive type (I know - very long name, showing

nothing). However, over the past 2 years we already knew that my son has autism

and started all the dietary interventions, went to DAN doctor, did sequential

and classical homeopathy and the last 7 months we are seeing Dr. K's assistant

and my son has been treated for Lyme, co-infections, parasites, yeast, bacteria,

everything under the sun.

However, over the last 2.5 years since we are doing all that my son has made

minimum progress (with exception to the last few months that we notice he is

more aware, much better eye contact and more playful with us) and something that

really hurt me is that the developmental pediatrician said that kids who haven't

started talking until 5 (my son is 5.5 years old) after that the prognosis are

even more slim, because the first 5 years is when this part of the brain –

speech , is developing the most. I cannot even put into words how much this

prognosis hurt me, because this is my biggest dream, to hear my son talking. He

has only 1 word that he uses on regular basis – " open " and everything else is

just " baba " and lots of louad noises. She advised us to look into other types of

communication – divices, picture exchange, etc. We are using some sign language

with my son but for the most part we are focused on his speech and this is the

part we have been working the most.

My brain cannot even process that my son may never talk, but the time indeed is

passing and I feel more and more concerned and panicked about that.

So my question is - are here any kids who were not verbal until 5-6 years old

and after that they started talking? I know every child is very individual and

what has helped one child doesn't mean it will help another. However, I was

wondering if there is a child who had similarities with my son and then

something really helped?

Here are the supplements that my son is taking:

Neem, propolis, cistus tea, selenium CWS, TiQuench, Fermented cod liver oil,

Ketotifen, DMG, CGF (chlorella grouth factor), Laktoferrin, liver life, CORE,

Quintessence, MB12 shots every 3 days, graviola, few days ago also started

Enzogenol, some homeopathics for drainage and for the last 10 days we have been

doing also the anti-parasitic drugs as per Dr. K's protocol . I have been

reading recently about L-Carnosine and that helps with speech so I am

considering getting it.

Recenly we purched Valkion so for the last 2 weeks my son is also getting some

oxygenized water, we are also doing scalp acupuncture twice per week,

chiropractic adjustments evry 1-2 weeks, osteopathy and for the therapies –

SonRise, speech and occupational therapy.

Please share your thoughts and experience. What are we missing? We have never

done chelation, may be this is part of the missing puzzle?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Krassi
