Hi Everyone,
I'm a in a slightly different position than most postings I've read here.
I am an adoptee with a 6 year old son who has autism. I was told after his diagnosis that the Austism could have been caused by a gene carried by me. I then started to actively search for my Bmom, hoping for some answers. Of course as I'm sure most of you know, nobody knows for sure the exact cause. Environmental, biological, immunization, and the list goes on.
If it would help anyone : My son has made leaps and bounds with vitamin supplements, casien & gluten free diet, speach therapy, occupational therapy and alot of TLC & patience. We are constantly feeding him with new information to boost his learning skills. There is a doctor that I just found out about that travels the country and helps Autistic kids. He has an autistic child himself. We have been told that with speciallly designed personal diets and special therapies that this particular dictor has an 60-80% success rate. Apparently his main focus is to begin by somehow extracting the mercury form the immunizations that rests in their brains, then the rest of the therapies are directed at "catch-up" for the most part. If anyone would care to contact his offices I have their phone #.
I feel the need to say God Bless You to those who have adopted special needs children. I know from experience that it is a difficult road to travel. I can only imagine the love that exists in your hearts to take on such a huge responsibility. God truely smiles on these children and their families.
