Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I have been chelating my son for 3 years, and he's now 11. I saw immediate improvement with gut and bowel issues and slow improvement in mood, sleep, anxiety, etc. In the last month, I'm seeing a shift inside his brain and his rigidity is decreasing. For example, he would always put his pajamas in his drawer -- I never had to tell him to do it, it was just something he HAD to do. When he would come inside from the backyard, he would always lock the door. Now the pajamas are on the floor all day and the door is left unlocked. Also, he's been asking anxious questions like " Why did I say that? Why did I hit my hand against the wall when I walked by? Why did I sit down wrong? " The psychiatrist claims that this is developmental and the adolescent hormones are starting to kick in. My friend who has three NT adolescent boys said it could be that because her boys " wake up stupid, " as she calls it. They suddenly don't remember how to put away their clothes, or whatever, but it's from a testosterone surge. So for those of you in similar circumstances . . . can you help clue me in on what's going on? It would seem -- logically -- that if the hormonal shift is causing him anxiety that he would become more rigid instead of less -- but is autism logical???
