11 year old...No speech AT ALL...............

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I joined this group a while back, but have not posted for a long

time...My son is 11.5, has had no speech since age 3. He became

autistic after his MMR, DTP, HIB, TOPV at age 18 months, although I

did notice some strange behaviors before this. had regained

some speech and had a vocab of about 6-7 words by age 3, but got a

tetanus shot at 3 1/2...he spent the next 6 months wandering around

the house making strange repetitive noises...he has not spoken a word

since except for a couple of times he whispered what sounded like a

word.

I have been chelating him for about 1 1/2 years and see very slow,

although seemingly steady improvement. He also gets many supplements

including flax oil.

Are there any other parents with " older " non-verbal kids who are

making progress with Pro-EFA and Pro-EPA?

Thanks, Lindy

Hi Lindy,

My son is also 11.7 yrs old. I have been giving him a supplement

that is called Udo's Choice. It seems to have more of the Omega

3,6,and 9's in it. It is an oil. We checked out the pill form and

it didn't seem to have as much in it, so we are sticking with the

oil. We have noticed a big difference. My son went from only

saying a few things, to saying 3-4 word sentences. I feel that I am

starting this a little late but we just found out a few weeks ago

that he had apraxia. They didn't tell us any kind of a dx but

delayed development up to then. So I am glad that we finally know

how to help him. I would say try it and see what it does for him.

If you are interested in the Udo's Choice, you can read about it on

his website it is www.udoerasmus.com. It gives a lot of information

on efa's.
