Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Hi n! First of all, try not to worry. I have a cousin who was completely gray by the age of 16, and is a beautiful, vibrant, healthy woman otherwise! Here's a link that talks about graying hair in children. While there are some things your child's doctor might want to rule out, it could be as simple as a vitamin b12 deficiency. Good luck, and let us know what you find out! <A HREF= " http://www.drgreene.com/21_30.html " >Children and Gray Hair - DrGreene.com</A> Liane Gentry Skye author <A HREF= " http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books & field-auth\ or=Skye%2C%20Liane%20Gentry/103-0462897-9459854 " >Turn Around, Bright Eyes - Snapshots from a Voyage Out of Autism's Silence</A> <A HREF= " http://talkingwithpictures.com/ " >Talking With Pictures</A> " nonverbal " does not have to mean " unable to communicate " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Dear n, Believe it or not, both of my children, 17(NT) and 13(ASD) have 1 single gray hair on their head. I just chalked it up to genetics. On my husband's Irish side, his mother greyed early in life and so did my husband (in his twenties). He now has a full head of silver hair. I honestly don't think it is anything to worry about. ANYONE????? > What would give a 4.8 year old autistic boy a grey hair.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 > What would give a 4.8 year old autistic boy a grey hair. Hi n, My kid is 4 yo now, but I've noticed he has gray hair a year ago. And not just one or two, but many. I always thought it's just my imagination, because my son's hair is light blonde, and it has reflexes of red and white and yellow. It's hard to describe... mostly because I always thought that my son's hair actually doesn't have a " real " color, a " normal " color. I always thought it's very weird. Same thing about his eyes. I've never seen eyes of the color of my son's. They are green-blue-grey but actually none of those colors. A combination... So because I've never heard of gray hair at kids so small, I always thought it's only my impression, but now reading your message... I have no idea what causes this. I will have to read the web page that Liane indicated, I guess. Something else... We chelated for a year. Today, after reading your message, I went to my son and looked for gray hair. He doesn't have that much anymore. So probably (possibly) chelation reverses whatever causes this. Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Has anyone heard of kids' hair going from curly to straight in a couple of months, probably due to the diet and all the supplements, I assume? I loved my boys' curls and they both lost them very suddenly, at the age of 4 and 2, after we started the diet, Nystatin, vitamin and mineral supplementation. May be it would have happened anyway, but I believe that it happened far too quickly, for both of them at the same time, together. In my family many people have curly hair and most have managed to keep it into their adult years. Natasha > > What would give a 4.8 year old autistic boy a grey hair.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Well, my daughter's hair got noticably dull while on the diet and- although I hadn't noticed it until the situation reversed on enzymes- her long thick eyelashes had thinned out and her eyebrows as well. Now her hair and eyelashes are gorgeous and her eyebrows have filled in nicely. She has many healthy physical attributes thanks to enzymes that she either lost on the diet or never had in the first place. As far as the diet goes-although I know necessary for some-I do not believe vitamins and supplements can take the place of well absorbed food. -- - In @y..., " Natasha Bogdanov " <nataleo@e...> wrote: > Has anyone heard of kids' hair going from curly to straight in a > couple of months, probably due to the diet and all the supplements, I > assume?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 , I appreciate your enzymatic ardor but find it misplaced. With 2 autistic children I sometimes find I run a small autism lab in my home. And I see again and again that one size does not fit all. My 5yo son has the healthiest eating habits I've ever seen in kids, he asks for broccoli by name, loves his salads, will say no to cupcakes, never has digestive problems UNTIL you give him enzymes. When on enzymes, any enzymes, even the tiniest doses, he starts having BM accidents, left, right and center. Off the enzymes he's fine. I have no doubt that his food is well absorbed, thanks in part to the Brainchild vitamins. The gfcf diet worked wonders for him, he started talking after we took away the milk, at the age of 4 years and 3 months! I give enzymes to my 3yo who is very, very different and still on the same spectrum but I do not really see them doing anything for him. I do not give up on them, not yet, anyway. And by the way, each of them has a full head of shiny hair, no longer curly, but that's OK. Natasha > > > > What would give a 4.8 year old autistic boy a grey hair.
