I am a huge advocate to get as much therapy as early as possible. I just wanted to emphasize that therapy alone without a biomed approach also would never heal a child. I think you are right on track to persuing the biomed treatment now to help with sensory issues. So glad to hear about he great progress you are making with your son. You are a mother warrior and your son's life will be forever changed because of you!Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-22378703568815637592010-03-04T23:50:25.031-08:002010-03-04T23:50:25.031-08:00Hi, this is Pricilla, your blog stalker that made ...Hi, this is Pricilla, your blog stalker that made a huge comment recently. I love this and I will be using this powerful resource as well. I know you touched on therapy, and I just wanted to say that I am a huge advocate for ABA therapy, which is proven to be affective and have seen miracles with it for our son. We have done very little biomed in the past and with the help of an intensive one on one ABA program(we moved our family to another state to get the best available), my son went from nearly nonverbal and nonreceptive to language at 3 1/2 to a mainstreamed fully functional 1st grader. We learned the methods and integrated it into our daily lives with him and even though at first it did seem like regurgitation, it helped him learn how to learn and see the world around him and how to have motivation. I believe this helped him form neuropathways in his brain. He never stops asking questions about anything and everything now, just so eager to learn. At this point I still worry about sensory issues with him, so I am seeking the biomed route again for that and I believe that will be a huge piece for him. But I can't downplay how much therapy has helped. I guess I just wanted to throw this little testimony out because with the tools I have learned with the ABA program(he has graduated from it now)I am empowered every day because I know how to teach him and keep him motivated and help him be successful. After seeing our miracles(I know you have with your son too), I believe in my heart that my little hero will lose his diagnosis one day. I admire your strength and courage in all of your posts, you are so inspiring:)Pricillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767224027588151110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-43587704931912333252010-03-04T08:37:48.657-08:002010-03-04T08:37:48.657-08:00Awe, thanks Laurie and thanks to your cute girls f...Awe, thanks Laurie and thanks to your cute girls for being so sweet with him!

It has nearly exhausted me. The past 2 days we have been to the naturalpath (sp?) and back for more x-rays. I spoke with another doctor. This problem wrecks this kid's world.

There must be a reason for all of this and it must be this post.<br />I have a son who I suspect has some form of Autism, but I'm not sure. I went to his Parent/Teacher conference and they left me in tears. Their comments ranged from, "We are just trying to figure your son out" to "He doesn't care to interact socially with the other kids". I don't know where to go with that. I'm not sure where to go or how to go about having him tested. I don't know enough about autism to say that he definitely has it, but some of the behaviors fit and some don't.<br />At any rate I love this post, love your blog and enjoy reading all the great information you share.Susan Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387510304089583710noreply@blogger.com
