Well? Anyone agree/disagree? Chelatin treatments, I feel, are risky and have a primitive flavor.

Anorexia is brought on by a need to control one's environment. The anorexic, too, feels a desire to return to a child-like body image (this is why you see it more in females and during puberty). The ...

I would talk to your doctor about stopping the medication. If it's not working, if it's making things worse, there is no reason to continue. The aggression towards the 2 year old in my opinion is t ...

my son has had very good success with cognitive behavior therapy

I was told Cognitive Behavior Therapy was not successful for kids with Aspergers. Everything I've read, suggests otherwise. I broug ...

I think this place includes CBT, but it is in an environment exclusively for kids on the spectrum and they are encouraged to interact in a somewhat structured environment. They set their own goals fo ...

Don't ask why. Just tell him to stop and express your concerns over him hurting himself. My son has done this since entering public school. Before then, he never did it. It is frustration, inability ...

I have to tell you that I've never been more aware of flapping since I've frequented this site and been involved in autism due to my son's issues. Now, I'm aware of my own "flapping" I do when I'm in ...

He is a bit young to identify him as an aspie.

10 months old? I know kids who get excited and flap their hands and grew up fine. It's more of a sensory issue but not necessarily autism.

Equinn, I think that once your child is out of your care, it may be too late. Remember that our ability to learn drops off drastically at around age 18+ In fact, I've heard a lot of people suggesting ...

gbolllard,

One negative that stuck with me is the slighly "inaccurate" account of your stories during the memory test. So, you were faster, but not as accurate. This contradicts your feelings of ...

penny07960, you are right -- it was incorrect for me to use the word "disease" -- I got typing too quickly, and wasn't thinking when I typed that.

But the issue is still -- insurance companies do ...

Thank you all so much. Very Happy

I don't think I'm going to bother talking to his docs about this one, it doesn't really bother me at all. I certainly don't want him on medication and I don't think he ...

My son has ADHD, too.
He was given ritalin to start with, because the effects are very quick: it is easy to tell whether it's working or not. With him, there was a very marked change within 10 minute ...
