My 5 year old daughter, who's recovered from PDD-NOS with enzymes,

just had her first full case study through our public school system in

preparation for kindergarten in the fall.

She is bright, verbal, outgoing, social, creative and really cute 1:1

with adults. There is no way anyone would find a need for services.

Her new principal however is an attorney and due to my daughter's

history on the spectrum, the principal requested that a full case

study be done to rule out any need for direct services.

We walked away with an IEP for " Other Health Impairment. " This is a

kid brand new to a very large school system, with a first-time IEP

that states only that IF she does not adhere to dietary restrictions

and take enzymes with each meal/snack, she WILL have the behavior and

learning problems associated with autism.

Someone pinch me.

The first thing I did was run labs through

http://www.greatplainslaboratory.com and based on those findings,

that is how I decided how to proceed.

In my daughter's case much of her problem was related to yeast and

food intolerances so she took antifungals, Nystatin in her case, and

Houston enzymes with each meal/snack. She still avoids all dairy,

sugar, corn syrup, preservatives, coloring, or anything at all

artificial in her food and takes Houston chewable enzymes (all 3)

with each meal/snack. The rule here is that if I can't identify

even one of the ingredients on the label, even the last one where it

says " less than 2% " or something like that, we don't buy the

product. She only eats eggs and meat that don't have added hormones

and antibiotics for yeast control, as well.

She has also taken small amounts of antivirals, and supplements as

per her Organic Acid Test recommendations.

You do have to tailor it to each individual child, but enzymes are a

good place to start, and even before you have any labs or have time

to do specific research, you can always at least eliminate sugar and

artificial ingredients from her diet. My daughter was a different

child within 2 weeks of being on a sugar, yeast, gluten and dairy

free diet and on Houston enzymes, and biomedical is the only

intervention she received.

I used Dana's website extensively http://www.danasview.net for most

of my own research.

I also used and continue to use tons of positive reinforcements such

as $ store toys or stickers as a reward for sticking to good

behavior. She responds most to diet/enzymes, but secondly, to

presents. She loves anything wrapped up. So when it's time for a

new box of bandaids, kleenex box for her room, a new toothbrush,

anything like that, I will wrap it up and then tell her (for

example) " since we had to wait in line a really long time just now

and you waited so nicely without complaining, you get a present when

we get home. " Just make sure to stick with very tiny presents that

you would have otherwise given her, for the most part. She gets a

little present every day of summer break because the lack of

structure is very hard for her, so first thing in the morning when

there's no school or camp to get ready for, she'll automatically

fall apart. So I started a " summer vacation present " program where

for the 4 weeks of the break, every morning first thing is that she

opens her present. It will be something like her new thermos for

school, her new next-size underpants (I buy a pack of 6 like

everyone else, and wrap them up and give them out as presents one at

a time), school supplies for kindergarten (also one at a time), etc.

Stick with this group and ask specific questions and I know you will

find some interventions that make a difference for your daughter.

My son is severe and can't recover, but he is a very happy, bright,

talented, high functioning severely autistic boy as opposed to how

things used to be. The biomedical interventions to me are what

makes their quality of life so good, and it can help the kids

function to the point that you can really love, interact with and

relate to them enough to have a family life, even when miracles

don't happen.

This is just awesome! It is difficult to believe that any school

would go " above and beyond " like this. Congratulations!

My daughter is cf and low gluten. She's on Houston chewable enzymes,

all 3 of them. She also doesn't eat any chemicals or preservatives at

all, mostly organic foods, and very low sugar.
