Seraphim Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 ASD is a collection of about 1,000 different conditions causing various symptoms of ASD in varying degrees. When caused by genetics there are more than 100 genes involved. It can be also caused by viruses in the mother such as German measles and they are even considering maternal stress as a culprit .

Seraphim Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Have you heard of the beneficial effects of camel milk? No I haven't . I don't even know where I would buy that! Link to comment
Jibralta Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I don't know a whole lot about it, but it may be worth looking into. This guy seems pretty reputable: Link to comment

Seraphim Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Oh ok, read the story. My son doesn't want to be different though. He is happy as an autistic. We don't want him not to be autistic. Autistic is fine with us. Link to comment
Jibralta Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Oh, I didn't realize camel milk was supposed to "cure" it! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Oh, I didn't realize camel milk was supposed to "cure" it! The story was how I guess the child's symptoms were " reduced" . I dunno. An infant is autistic very early in the in the fetus stage and forever autistic. Link to comment

Seraphim Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 I wrote an email to autismcanada.org . They are asking for experiences in which families were denied the disability tax credit . They challenging the CRA for being inequitable . Apparently CTV is also running a story which finds them inequitable . And we heard from hubby’s admin officer that they have been given a slap on the wrist for not judging fairly . Maybe if my son reapplies he will get the disability tax credit . Link to comment

Autistic is fine with us. If it relieves his anxiety, and makes his expression of autism such that he can function more independently, wouldn't you jump at the chance if some dietary change would help him? if he could still have his quirks, but be able to communicate enough to hold a job someday, and to self advocate (if he has a problem with bright lights, he takes his own precautions like bringing sunglasses or picking the cubicle near the window so he can turn the lights off, etc.). It would not change who he was as a person. if it actually worked, it might be a relief to him and you. Link to comment

Even from infancy if he didn’t like something it got vomited back out . And now if you try to change his diet on him he will just refused to eat like at all . Food sensory issues is one of his biggest issues . Link to comment
