Hi Deborah...
Let me see if I can answer your questions...
Laura is actually going to a DAN dr. here in MI. He is almost 2 hours away, so it's a whole day excursion. Even though she has only been diagnosed with institutional autism, he is still treating her. We've tried the GFCF diet...no difference. She is on a bunch of supplements, but now likes to spit them out rather than take them like she did before...little stinker! The DAN dr. is working toward chelation, but I'm having a really hard time getting a urine sample on her...little tough on a girl. But we're trying!
Laura was in the Early On program through our schools. The therapy was minimal, and the special ed. teacher that came to our house did an OK job. I'm a teacher myself, so I'm always very critical. She is supposed to be going to the special ed. preschool now, but has been in intensive PT for the past 2.5 weeks...2 hours every day. She (and I) just can't do both.
As for autism...I think I've read about every article out there. I keep wavering back and forth. I know there is a huge spectrum, but her neurologist is being very cautious before giving her the official dianosis. Frankly, they don't know what to diagnose her with! But she loves to be with other kids...especially her brothers; she used to bang her head on the floor when we first got her, but does that no longer; reciprocates play, but doesn't imitate except for clapping or banging on the table. So, it's a mystery still, but we're trying every avenue we can. And, yes, she mouths everything!
So, what has your experience been with chelation? Has it helped your son? I didn't realize that it could elevate again. Is that just with chelation...when it leaks out of the bones, or can it do that on its own? How do you know which chelation is safe?
