- Harrison made his very first two-sentence string last night!! We were playing a "doggy bone" game (which he is learning turn-taking), and when it came to be my turn, Harrison said, "It's daddy's turn. Put the green puppy down." My wife and I were...
- Has anybody's child been through chelation? How did it go? What can I expect? The possibilities are on the horizon.
- Has anybody out there taken their child to be seen by Dr. Anju Usman at True Health? I have been on the waiting list for quite awhile and just got an appointment date. I was just curious about anybody else's experiences with her practice? I've...
- Has anybody heard of the neurodiversity movement? I've read about it, and I completely disagree with it in every possible way that I can. They say that instead of searching for a cure for autism, we should spend our time celebrating the diversity...
- Has anybody tried the probiotic ThreeLac? What were your experiences? It also helps to kill of yeast.
- For a numbe of weeks, my son had been picking and pulling at his lips, to the point of slight bleeding. At first, I thought it was weather-related, since we just had an extremely cold and long winter. But his lip-picking/pulling has not subsided. ...
- Hello all! I am going to the Autism One conference in Chicago next month. Two separate hour-long presentations are about getting the most out of IEP meetings and not leaving the meeting thinking, "What the heck just happened?" Since many new...
- I forgot to add this in my last discussion, but my local chapter of the Autism Society of America just had a walk event. It was the first one we'd ever had and wasn't sure how it would turn out. We were hoping for around 150 people to show up. I...
- I don't often publicly brag about anything, but in my son's case, I have to. We have had him on biomedical treatment for almost a month now, an he has made significant gains!!His eye contact is SO MUCH better, and he actually comes up to me, looks...
- Although I fundamentally disagree with those who say here is no connection between vaccines and autism, I do (and will) respect their opinion, but I feel as though I must express mine.I sincerely think that vaccines play a role in the development of...
- I don't know if I got the link for this on DS, but this is a wonderfully put together video on YouTube. It's a music video tribute for autistic children. You have to watch it; it had both me and my wife in tears. Here's the...
- My wife and I just found out we're expecting our second child, YIPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! We heard the heartbeat for the first time last Thursday. It's very exciting, especially since our last pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage.The only thing I'm...
- I'm the father of a 3 1/2 year old autistic boy, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him. I, too often, hear about the dads and how they don't acknowledge that there may be a problem with their child. Is it a type of machismo they think they...
- Just was wondering. I just started my son on digestive enzymes a few days ago. He has had some really nasty BMs. Not quite diarrhea but close and really BIG. Was just wondering if anybody else has had experience with this.
- My son is on a gluten-free, casein-free diet, and this has made improvements in both his digestion and speech/eye contact. The milk substitute I use is Rice Dreams rice milk (which is now gluten-free). Another option for this diet is soy milk, but...
