Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hello, I'm new here. My name is a, I'll be 28 in March. My husband and I live in north Texas with our kids Ethan, almost 6 and Willow, 2 1/2. Ethan was diagnosed with autistic disorder in October. I knew a little over a year ago that's what it was. We actually stumbled across it researching dairy sensitivity/allergies and I found the gfcfdiet site. Ethan's doing well in regular kindergarten after a rough start. We changed teachers two weeks into the year (I demanded it) and the new teacher turned him around. This was pre diagnosis. Ethan had severe tantrums the first six weeks, the second six weeks he got the Good Citizenship award! =0> The teacher is very good with him. I'm so proud of him, he loves school. He still falls apart when he gets home most days, but he's getting better. We went almost all winter break without a tantrum. We're still potty training at almost 6. He's not night trained at all, and though he's getting better slowly, he still poops in his pants. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! =0> Stickers seem to work pretty well with him here lately, but not enough to keep him from going through two or three pairs of underpants a day some days. Anyway, I'm rambling! I'm happy to be here, thanks for having me! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
