new to group

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone,

I am new to the group and in the middle of reading 's book. My

son Scout (4.10) has a dx of PDD-NOS and is also hyperlexic. The

neurologist who diagnosed him said that since he is so high-

functioning, the dx was a slight stretch (mostly to get him services,

if necessary). Anyway, for the last month I have been wading through

all the biomedical treatments: DAN!, Dr. Shaw's book, MANY articles

on the internet, etc. We started the GF/CF diet two weeks ago, and

have been doing vitamin supplements for about a month. He is going to

OT once a week and speech twice a week, and is in a regular preschool.

I want to believe that the enzymes will help him, but so far I

haven't seen anything REALLY help him yet. I am scared to get my

hopes up! I have read all the success stories, yet I am still not

sure. Also, why have I not read about enzyme success anywhere else? I

have seen them mentioned briefly as a possible supplement to other

treatments, but not much more than that.

Sorry this was so long! Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, e
