Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 My son is 6 years old and we are getting ready to go to a DAN dr. for our 1st visit on 9/11. I've had him on a gluten and casien free diet for 3 years and I've had no Dr. support. We live in a large city in the midwest and we waited for almost 2 years on a list to see a dr. that told us basiclly there was not much that could be done for him. She suggested we start looking into group homes. How can she tell me that about a 6 year old boy with autism? She refuses to talk about the possibility that there is something wrong with him other than his brain. My son tested 45 on the childhood autism rating scale, and was diagnosed as severly autistic. He is non-verbal and has many sensory problems. My question is, is there anything specific I shoul be aware of before we go to the DAN doc, and has anyone had a child this severly autistic and has improved dramaticly and how long does it usually take to see results?
