Re: Biomedical treatment for a Five Year old.

Ramona--my son is Asperger's, and I started biomedical treatment when

he was 10. He is also severely bipolar, and no one expected him to

make it past puberty, or if he did, not be very functional. Also has

juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Voted most likely to be

institutionalized. He is 18 now, and doing better each intervention

we make. So even though we did not start until 10, and are still

adding new treatments, we still see improvements (not with all

treatments, but enough so that we keep trying to improve it). I just

started low dose naltrexone three weeks ago, and his behavior changed--

he became much less irritable, more considerate and thoughtful, just

all around nice. Skin rash is better, but still in pain.

You can only do the best you can with the information you have at the

time. If you don't know, you can't change or fix it.

There will always be something we could have done better, if only we

knew. But we didn't. And so many of the things we " know " now, will

turn out to be utter nonsense or harmful. Take what you know, build

on it, and if something doesn't make sense or feels wrong, listen to

that inner voice. Because it may turn out that your instincts and

experience are right and science is wrong.

Meanwhile, shoulda/woulda/coulda won't help. Get your kid to the DAN

doc, take one step and a big breath at a time, go from there. Know

that each moment, you are making the best choices you know how with

the information you have, and that you are getting more and more info,

so your decisions will get better and better. Some interventions will

work, some will not. That too, is valuable information.

Good luck with your son.

– Dr. Cislo – is right: There will always

be that one more thing that we didn’t do. But please know also that

not every kid does biomedical treatments, and of those that do, they don’t

necessarily improve more than the kids who don’t. Some kids do not

respond to biomed, especially those that never had gut issues.

Regards,

Should I duck?
