Week 1: Luecovorin journey with Miguel.

Boe and I have been reading some research done on autistic people and a prescription vitamin called Luecovorin. They have been researching it for about eleven years, and of course, it’s still not “recommended” for use with autism. So, after watching a few families that were trying this document their journey on a few social media sites, Boe and I decided to try it with Miguel on a very low dosage at first to see if he would have a reaction to it or be able to take it. Now, he is only on 5 ml once a day. He had a bit of diarrhea the first day, not too bad, but was fine the next day.

He started it on Friday, August 29th. The next day, he and I went to Lawton, and I was taken aback at how much he initiated deeper conversations that were not part of his hyperfocus. Then, in the fertilizer section of a store, he loudly asked, “Who farted?” Lol. I was tickled at the neurotypical behavior. On Sunday, day 3, he initiated conversations with people at a family function that he had barely ever said more than yes or no to. Throughout the next week, we noticed things like his vocal stimming was less and more melodic than normal. He and Lucas were having discussions about and playing games together. He answered the phone to me calling him by singing “Hello darkness, my old friend, I’ve come to talk to you again!” Instead of hello. When jokingly telling him to drive her car, my niece gave him her keys, and he said, “Ok,” and went to try and get into the car and was going to attempt to drive. When she asked him if he was really going to do it, he smirked and said, “I guess you will never know!” Then giggled back to the house. I asked him to get the trash out of my car, and he cleaned the whole thing out!

Wk 2 - has started with little things like jumping to smack things like all of the young teen boys do and randomly grabbing his aunties hand to walk with her and small signs of random affection  Cant wait to see what happens when his dosage is raised

Also his teacher said he Engaging in conversation with his classmates andnot mumbling and walking off!!! This is HUGE! 
These are all things he has done in a WEEK on a prescription VITAMIN!!!! He has two more weeks, and then we will up his dosage under the doctor's supervision, and I am so excited to see what (if any) changes and surprises are in store!! #luecovorin #autismluecovorinn[/quote]
