work on a plan and get together with the school and see whats going on and find a program or strategies that will work with him. There is no cure for Autism. Just accept him and be patience. He'll surprise you.

There are thing out there that help kids extremely.You have to go to different sources.Homeopaths treat add and can help with autism.The same with chiropractic care.There now studying the amazing effect on zeolite drops that might help tremendasly.Some kids get better just on there own.Swinging will help with volcalizing and swimming is good also.Swimming is a good thing to do.My son cant swim, but hopefully in the next few years.people with autism are drawn to water and should be taught how to swim to prevent drowning.I have river behind my apartment and its scarey.Just research on the this some stuff that you feel comfortable trying.You never know unless you try.I think alot of problems could be change if you try different things.Im in the process of trying new things its an endless hope that something has got to reverse these system.My son cant stand still for one minute and I know that has to be treated, because he can not focus to learn.Its hard when all the study goes to genes in general and not if these other things seem to work or not.you cant wait for science autism has been around for 76 years or so.Since the rise they are trying very hard to help these children,but these children now are making improvements and its just so happens we are in this rut not knowing what really works.Make sure you study before you try anything.Our children are the ones that have to prove what works.I guess it just takes years to get to the outcomes.Good luck and keep an open mind and pray for something that will help your child.Parents are the best advocates and never forget that.Its end endless battle but i would look into some alternative treatments and thats where the hope is.Good luck and keep and open mind.

I heard that is the time when the issues at school get involved. I know the situation at school causes my 3 year old to either excell or regress. Like Lisa said, go to the school and make your case. Best to put your concern and facts ofevidence in writing.

Only want to say one thing forgive me my son is 16 with Aspergers I am too at 52. I DO NOT WANT A CURE I AM NOT ILL. I realise that severe Autism is very different and I agree a cure or help would be great. But just had to say I like being me and love my son being him

What has changed at school??Anything?

There are lots of "cures" and "treatments" out there, from medications, to homeopathic treatments, to special diets, and physical therapies. My advice is, try them all. I've seen one autistic child improve on a lactose and gluten free diet, and another improve with kineseology treatments. My own son has responded really well to a pet rat and social training.
I have yet to find a single treatment or therapy that helps all autistic kids, with the exception of early intervention. Try everything. See what helps. And make the school work with you - if you work your but off with him and they let him slide at school, you'll be fighting an uphill battle the whole way
