[quote=Anonymous]Didn't read the entire thread, just the first page. Sounds very difficult, OP. I would look at your child's diet. You may need to take him to a doctor who specializes in ASD kids to get the right treatment. "The Spectrum" is just a catch-all for kids who exhibit similar symptoms, but the range is enormous. We never took our child for a neuropsych evaluation, and DC is cured after 10 years of alternative treatments. The gut problems are very typical of an ASD kid; high intelligence, hyper-articulateness and difficulty with organization are also symptoms, particularly of Aspergers, which presents in a myriad of ways. The suicidal talk is evidence of frustration, so your child does need to feel more in control of his health and his emotional well-being. He may need testing for gut bugs and antibiotics. It's all very time-consuming and mostly not covered by insurance, but for us, gut bugs were a huge problem that went away after treatment with (incredibly expensive!) antibiotics, getting rid of sugar (which feeds yeast) and anti-yeast medication. Fortunately the drugs were covered by BC/BS. But "regular" physicians will know nothing about how to treat this stuff. You have to go to "alternative" or "integrative medicine" providers. You can look on the DAN website for some names. We didn't use anyone around here, so I don't know whom to recommend. U of MD has an integrative medicine department, and there may be others. Good luck, and hugs OP. [/quote]
