The problem at the moment is he is not eating much these days and getting fussier, whereas a couple of months ago he ate wonderfully, including all the good, healthy stuff, (but also some less healthy stuff). Looks like we need an internal examination now.

Fortunately in my case it was not a child I was dealing with, which would be so much harder, but myself.<br /><br />I can't speak from personal experience, but have you looked at the GAPS diet and/or the work of Dr. McCandless (I think I spelled that correctly) and her great success with Low-dose Naltrexone and children with autism? I've heard great things about both those therapies. Not short term but maybe something (I'm sure you've been suggested to death. I apologize) to look at?JPhttp://catholicanuck.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-15767176440544180472013-02-27T12:22:47.463-08:002013-02-27T12:22:47.463-08:00Thanks Sister for this quick response.

I will be making a complaint to the doctors if we ever get to the end of this as I think the initial delays were unacceptable. I did ask the advice of an autism support charity and they say what everyone does, be persistent and make a fuss. Believe me, I have been, but it's the same brick wall. Claudia, thanks, it really is not easy to tell this time, there are no straightforward clues, we are all just guessing and waiting for test results, now that they have finally been done.
