My son has been put on the 'Autistic Spectrum' since age 2, he is 4 now. He has poor interactive language skills, hand flaps, runs in circles, will laugh/hum for no good reason. He has no problems with transitions, knows his ABC's quite well, can count to 30, knows his colours and shapes and more.
I never noticed any change after vaccinations. He is on the GFCF diet and the only noticeable change (he's been on the diet for 8+ months) is he no longer has diarrhea. He was late to crawl/walk, is less receptive to pain than other children, has gross and fine motor weaknesses, and is a very cautious child, always has been.
I truly believe intensive one on one work (floortime, ABA) is what he needs but I think a medical complex may also be needed. Nystatin did nothing, Super Nu Thera was pointless. Chelation is new to me. I don't know if he has any heavy metal toxicity/deficit and if so how they could have arrived. We live in Canada.
We will be trying Ojibwa Tea of Life in July. Sorry to ahve rambled so much but our biggest (two biggest) problems are the fact that no one has ever met a child like ours and nobody has a clue about what to do. The local professionals are uninformed and are no help in any respect. They want social play, I want one on one. At least I have evidence that my way works a bit!
What can you tell me about chelation, based on what I've laid out? Thanks.
