Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I always counted my blessings because I had a child who didn't script. We have had our diagnosis now for a little over a year, and we are back on Valtrex/Diflucan (after being off for two months). Could the scripting be due to yeast? Please tell me it is so-that we can work on...he NEVER ever was a scripter before now. Worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my son, folic acid was the most helpful at eliminating scripting, followed by other B vitamins, TMG, and yeast control. So yes, it might be yeast.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Greetings Dana I was curious what the term scripting means. I've heard of stimming but scripting is new.

Reciting things over and over. Usually lines from videos, but can be other things also. Like reciting a " script " over and over.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks Dana My son definitely does that. Can you tell me again how I might be able to eliminate his scripting?

For my kids, scripting is eliminated about 70% with folic acid, and the other 30% by B50, TMG, and yeast control. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Its normal in my house as well. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Re: Scripting I'm glad to hear that... (age 14) has started spending more time in her room, listening to her ipod and dancing (which is fine), but also having conversations with imaginary friends. Seemed harmless, but wondered if this was normal. I will get the book! , mom to (16), (14), Sammy (12) and auntie to (18) ** is there a book on Mental Wellness for mom's of teens???

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 My Alyssa, 15yr does the same as well. She talks to her imaginary friends (I always thought it was because she doesn't have any friends here at home). She is almost always in her room listening to music, singing along with her songs, watching dvd's or playing by herself-getting dressed up for balls or dates. I do try to keep her sorta busy (I don't want to overload her) with cheer, we are now in a cooking class and an exercise class so she does have interactions with others besides me. I did read the book mentioned and found that her talking is not uncommon. Just drives me crazy sometimes- Sue & Alyssa-MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nick (18) has a whole crew of invisible friends (he used to just talk to them, now occasionally he talks for them; however, if anyone else tries to talk to them he tells you to stop because there is no one there -- so he does know they don't exist). He too is spending a lot of time in his room (unfortunately, that also means he is spending way too much time getting naked so we try to limit it especially if he gets real quiet -- used to be if he got real loud -- I think he switched to quiet because after yelling for him to get quiet so many times didn't work one of us would open his door to tell him to be quiet and catch him). His talking to invisible people drives us crazy too Sue! Cari Shepard cmancari@... Re: Scripting My Alyssa, 15yr does the same as well.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hello, I haven't noticed this behaviour in Ana (19) as yet.  She spends a lot of time playing games in the computer, even World of Warcraft, which she has learned from her brothers and dad. I personally don't like these games, but I do see that somehow they have a positive side. She also likes to watch her DVD s or cartoons, or videos about puppies. Ana does not have friends either, but she likes to be around us all the time, instead of her room. I think that the reason could well be that we live in a typical old-Flemish house (very high and narrow) and although we remodeled it a little bit, and have TV sets in each room, I think she prefers to be in the comfort of our living room (bigger TV, warmer area, and I am always downstairs). Ana does not like to be by herself in her room. I appreciate your comments because if Ana starts doing scripting, then I know what to expect.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I was so happy to read all of your replies!!!! Kenzie (17) talks to a bunch of imaginary friends...she talks for them as well especially who was her boyfriend but passed away suddenly last year. It drives me crazy too! She does have a few friends and talks to them on the phone. She spends a lot of time in her room singing and on the computer watching musicals! When we are in the bathroom drying her gorgeous long hair she will talk to all kinds of people in the mirror and gets upset that I don't see them!
