Re: developmetnal regression

[Guest guest]

I, too, saw a bit of this - but I think if I saw him stopping ALL of

it, I'd freak out a bit. Do you have a doc you trust to ask about

it? Sometimes they do make leaps and then play catch-up in other

areas, but losing ground (particularly with speech) would bother me

alot. Let us know what you find out -

Hi,

post MMR Charlies regression was entirely in speech at first and

then his behaviour dropped ( became more autistic), then his diet

regressed and restricted, then potty training stopped and regressed.

His physical skills , his motor skills etc continued without

impediment and he developed in that area normally - running ,

climbing , catching , throwing etc etc .

Will had a developmental regression but after a while we found out it was

because of the depakote he was taking so we weaned him off the depakote and

he is doing better. Still hasn't caught up but at least he is trying.

Hi ,

I too expeirenced some regression in Speech and potty training. THe

speech regression was 1 day where normally I understand Jack 3 95% of

the time and 1 day about 5%. His prvt. ot who he saw that day

mentioned it also to me that it was very difficult to understand him

as did my sister through the phone, he also had some potty training

regression with going from being potty trained for 3 months (with

still a couple of accidents) to 9 out of 10 X going everywhere. I

called his ped. who recomended a Ped. neuro who recomended a EEG and

MRI which I will get done soon.

Hope this helps,

Eileen mom to Jack 3 and 1.9

My daughter was doing this last May. She was regressing in her

speech, and then this summer she made a giant leap ahead in her

speech and language.

We did start supplementing with fish oil in June, and I don't know

if that made any difference.

I think she tends to make developmental leaps in the summer. In the

summer, she's spending more time at home. It's more relaxing.

She's doing things that she loves. She's swimming tons. I think

all of that helps with the leaps.

I hope your son makes a leap soon.

I'm sure someone else has already replied with the same response, but they

say when a child is really focused on a certain set of skills, say gross

motor skills involving walking and running, they will go on a momentary hold

on another set of skills, like language. This is usually just a phase,

meaning in the life of a little one, a phase of a few weeks or so.

Definitely keep keeping note of it and address it with the therapists

working with him, but know too that this is typical development for many

children,

Hi ,

Forgive me but ...don't be fearful - get the greatplainslaboratory

test done . You just apply via the net , they send you details of how

and when to collect the pee - you send it back and they will tell you

if the gut has been compromised and is leaking. From my experience

with Charlie - the quicker you start , the quicker you can halt the

slide and start bringing them back up again !

I will try to get my husband to put some before and after photos of

Charlie on the site ...I know what I say sounds loopy but if you

could see the pictures and videos of Charlie playing , laughing ,

kissing , looking me in the eye in April and then the distant,

aggressive shut down child he was just three months later you may be

able to see that this is actually happening to some of our children

and WAY more importantly , that repairing their gut does start to get

some of them back.

GFCF is a pain in the butt to get right but it is so worth it if it

works !

If you see any signs of eye contact slipping or a drop in point try

and make sure that you keep eye contact going even down to insisting

( " look at me " ) before you give a drink or sweet.

PLEASE PLEASE mail me if I can help at all - but remeber too that

what happened to my son is getting more common in the scheme of

things but , overall it is still a fairly rare phenomena - so your

little one is still probably just going through a tricky stage , or

is not feeling great or whatever !
