Feeling Discouraged

[Guest guest]

hi all, wondering if any of you out there has success stories with severe

children?

our son was disgnosed before 2, now he is 3 1/2. We've been doing biomed for

about a year and half. He was very severe and now he is moderate to severe.

Lots and lots of stuff we have done. and we have seen him come a long way. such

as at the start there was no sign of him understanding anything at all, and

almost no imitation skills.

It still takes a lot to engage him in activities at table top.

we have begun chelation and there have been subtle signs of improvement.

How long does it take with oral and transdermal types of chelation to see big

gains?

im getting discouraged but trying to stay calm telling myself we only started a

couple months ago. he has lots of heavy metals and theyre interferring with his

speech centre. he is mainly non verbal has picked up a couple new words this

year that he says. He seem to have dyspraxia aswell.

i guess, I am wondering if there are folks who have kids who were non verbal and

severe - that kept impoving with small slow progress like my son.

Therapists are saying he is best suited to go to a special school instead of a

regualr kindy with a special unit as he is so much into sensory things like

swinging and jumping. But it just doesnt seem right, he is clever but trapped

and unable to .... focus. he needs lots of movement.

I read so many recovery stories that have a major breakthrough and a sudden

coming out of Autism, our son has made very very slow gains, but they are gains

nonetheless. Are there any stories out there where it was just slow and steady

all the way ?

thankyou.
