scripting

[Guest guest]

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.

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.

Greetings Dana

I was curious what the term scripting means. I've heard of stimming but

scripting is new.

Thanks

Reciting things over and over. Usually lines from videos, but can be

other things also. Like reciting a " script " over and over.

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.

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!

** is there a book on Mental Wellness for mom's of teens???

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

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!

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.

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!
