RE: undiagnosed but I suspect..

[Guest guest]

When my ds was 3yo he used to eat alot. It turned out to be bacteria .

Once we got it under control his appetite was normal. He has all the AS

traits except social. He receives therapies needed. We homeschool so a

diagnosis has not been needed.

Lynn undiagnosed but I suspect..

that my Max who just turned 7 is mildly autistic. He has some

symptoms but not " enough " ....

gaze never really meets your eyes unless you insist, and then it

doesn't hang there very long, (when I ask him why he says " it hurts " ,

speech delay until we had major therapy. all he could say at age 3

was all the difficult dinosaur names, no sentences, not many other

words

muscle tone is not good

voracious appetite

I can't remember if there is anything else that corresponds to the

symptoms, but here is the problem I am dealing with now:

He is 4' tall and 81 pounds, and I really need to control that

appetite. He comes home from school and wants to eat more than I did

the whole day. He cries when I don't give him food as he tells me he

hurts so much.

I am trying to give him a multivitamin, calcium, fish oil, cod liver

oil, acidophilus, and zinc. Is there anything else I should consider?

Please help. If you all can think of anything else I should be

doing, even non-dietary, I would love to hear it.

Thank you,

My son would eat like that, if he was eating foods or supplements he

did not tolerate, and when he had a yeast issue. Does he want

specific foods?

-

My daughter is NLD/Asperger's and says " it hurts " to look, too. Hates eye

contact unless she

is very comfortable and familiar (literally family-type close). Less stress

better eye contact.

Hypotonia " in patches " and fatigues extremely easily.

Although she was is a former kindergarten dinosaur diva she was so highly

verbal that we

were missed the ASD trail when early interventions may have made a big

difference socially.

She's very very isolated, now.

Still needs cueing and minimal distraction to eat meals or drink water. When she

was in school,

the worst days always corresponded to no lunch eaten and no fluids. I'd love it

if her apetite was

good. She's overweight but it's more like puffiness from histamine reaction or

being toxic. Is your

son eating at school? Could he be craving something that causes him trouble? Is

he in a growth

spurt? Are you using the Epsom Salt baths? Not much help, here, I'm afraid.

Dana always has good ideas! Hope you find what will help Max, and take away his

pain, soon.

Keep us posted...
