Autism And Occupational Therapy

Armando Said:

Autism question...?

We Answered:

My daughter (now 13) was diagnosed with high functioning autism/Ausbersgers syndrome as well as ADHD last year. They wanted to put her on ritalin. We found something called Attentive Child (It's a magnesium supplement basically) and started giving it to her. Within a week she was like a totally different child. In control of herself enough to know she was being out of line and able to cooperate with her therapy. We still have problems with the occasional outburst but the stuff worked wonders. Don't fret too much!

My son was diagnosed with autism a month ago,?

We Answered:

It's kind of like using a weighted vest. A weighted vest helps them be more aware of their body and their space. The sand bags won't hurt him. Hopefully it will help him be more aware of his feet and the need to walk.

Chris Said:

My 5yrs old son is effected by autism, hyperactive,less grasping power,not talking properly.?

We Answered:

Occupational therapy is very good, but you shouldn't expect too much. The main thing to do is to find out what he is good at and build on that.

Claire Said:

Autism Spectrum Disorders and the MMR Vaccination.?

We Answered:

If MMR could contribute to the development of autism, it most certainly could contribute to PDD-NOS, which is a more mild version of autism.

The school has a conflict of interest in accepting your daughter's diagnosis. Even with their limited funds, the school is legally required to pay for whatever special education your daughter needs for her diagnosis. So of course they have an interest in denying the diagnosis.

The occupational and play therapy are helping your daughter deal with and adapt to her limitations. If you want the limitations to go away, you'll have to treat her biomedically, with a DAN! doctor. http://www.autism.com/dan/danusdis.htm The sooner you get started on this, the better chance there is for recovery.

"sashs.geo," you are completely sure that MMR doesn't contribute to autism, yet you don't even know what PDD-NOS is. That's pretty funny. Bernadine Healy, M.D., former head of the National Institutes of Health, isn't sure MMR doesn't contribute to autism. http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/05/12/… So how are you so sure?
