Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hi Debra..... Could this possibly be a bit of a flare or a new round of die-off? I know others have seen this at about 7 months.... and you're almost at that point. Are you using SCD yogurt? (nut or goat?) Or giving him acidophilus supplements? Did you introduce any new foods recently? Sometimes I wonder about the negative changes that some parents report right after school starts...... fluorescent lighting at school? ....did they just put in new carpet?..... did they just spray the school grounds with pesticides just before the kids started coming? .... mold in the building? So many things coming at them environmentally! Patti, mom to Katera, SCD 16 months Re: One year SCD Hi, Kate. My son has been SCD since 4/24/04. For the last few weeks, his verbal stimming has increased and his tactile stimming (running his fingers along surfaces), which had been absent for more than a year, returned. Otherwise, he seems ok. His progress has been slow, but steady * more noticeable to his DAN doctor, who sees him monthly, than to us (unless we deliberately recall what he had been doing a while ago). Do you or anyone else have any ideas as to what is going on? The only new thing is that he has started kindergarten. But we are (reasonably) certain that he has not been given any illegal foods, as he has only three classmates * and there are two teacher's aides. Plus, his teacher knew about the SCD before we met her. THANKS IN ADVANCE! Debbie mom to Jake (2/5/99; ASD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Apparently, two of my son's classmates have tactile stims (running their fingers along surfaces), so it could be that he is imitating them. The really sad thing is that the mother of one of the other little boys is in denial. She claims that her son's only issue is impaired language, that he is not on the spectrum. I will also think about what other environmental changes my son is experiencing at school. PLUS, come to think of it, we have been upping Jake's intake of nut yogurt!! (He has been casein free for more than 2 years, so we are anxious about goat yogurt.) THANKS!! Debbie mother of Jake (2/5/99, ASD, SCD since 4/24/04) Debra R.
