Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Cod liver oil helped my son's sideways looking/running down hallways close to walls. Vitamin A is probably the help here. Pam > > My 4 y/o likes to turn his head to one side, close the opposite eye, squint the one turned the same direction and walk very close to things like fences, bushes, up and down chair slats. He also likes to take his fork when he is eating and do the same thing by raising his fork in front of his face with eyes the same. He also likes to cover things partially and do this or the same with his face right on top of a picture or something. He has a Baby Einstein video where a ball rolls from top to bottom across the screen and he will stand at the end where it rolls to right up against the TV and still sees it and laughs like crazy when it comes to him. We don't much let him have anything that lights up anymore because it was much worse then. He is amazing on a computer but I'm concerned to about him stimming on that because he just screaches with laughter, then runs and jumps all around like never before. He also always turns his TV on when his computer is on. I'm assuming this is just too much stimulation even though he appears to love it. Any experiences with this or recommendations? I know a lot of parents that just allow there kids to stem and say it helps them deal with things. For us, when he is not stemming, other than him being mostly non-verbal and a bit hyperactive you pretty much can't even tell anything is wrong with him. He also doesn't get upset if he doesn't get the things he stems on. He loves them, but he finds other things to do he is happy with. I would appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks so much! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I found that sufficient CLO/fish oil stopped my son's visual stims. As far as the other stims go, one way to deal with them/lessen them, is to imitate them. So if your son tries to stand on his head or spins, you put him upside down and spin him. My OT explained that by stimming the child is trying to stimulate but when someone else does it, it causes the behavior to slow down or cease. I know it sounds weird, but this has worked for us. ________________________________ From: funitln1 <angelaperatta@...> Sent: Mon, March 1, 2010 12:33:13 PM Subject: [ ] Visual Stimming Question  My 4 y/o likes to turn his head to one side, close the opposite eye, squint the one turned the same direction and walk very close to things like fences, bushes, up and down chair slats.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 He likes the pure fermented oil, no particular flavor. It was hard getting him to accept it in the beginning, now he swallows and smells it before opening his mouth...funny thing, it doesn't smell pleasant at all! If your kid resists in the beginning, try the mint flavored, we had it for some time and l believe it is an acquired taste now.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 hello jazzy k, if you are already giving high vit a doses and she suddenly came back to the visual pattern you had left behing, l believe it is worth checking for a viral infection/inflammation. l also think about absoption pathways, the amount you are giving might not be properly absorbed. are you giving CLO or some other form of vit A? either case, why don`t you try removing it for a couple of weeks and then re-start at a low dose and work from there and check whether there is a difference? l was seeing no difference from the b-12 shots, so l left `em out for a couple of weeks and started again a few days ago saw  an increase in babbling. good luck lsa --- El jue 11-mar-10, jazzyk298 <jazzyk298@...> escribió: De:: jazzyk298 <jazzyk298@...> Asunto: [ ] Re: Visual Stimming Question A: Fecha: jueves, 11 de marzo de 2010, 11:56  My 4 y/o daughter takes this and it REALLY helped with her side glancing and wanting to look at things with one eye turned and the other squinted etc. But now...she is doing it again.

Once my son's vitamin A levels were high enough, giving him more vitamin A caused the visuals to return, so you might want to actually stop the CLO for a few days, see if that helps. Also, my son required much more than CLO/vitamin A to eliminate visual stims, so it might be that you need to move on to address another issue.
