My child was diagnosed with autism at 19 months old.
Unfortunately, I had waited until my child turned 3 and half years old before this was confirmed by the specialist doctor.
I have helped him with my knowledge, patience and loving from a mother's heart. I have tried everything, except any supplement or NMT treatment, and avoided foods high in protein. I use daily activities to improve all his aspect condition of an autistic child as we know. Using daily living activities to communicate to improve his speech, take a walk with him on the landscapes of stones to improve his emotional, swimming improve his physical fit and help muscle development. At the night time given him a massage is combined with singing of a gentle song. Helping joined him with others children with different activities such as basketball groups, tennis groups, art groups etc.. to improve his social skills. He started speaking when he was four. Presently, he is 12 of age, and entered mainstream high school. He is average in every subjects in his study. He is a member of his school and local community's Band. He is a trumpet and piano player. And great swimmer, he can finish 5o m in for a min. And outstanding creative music art. And further, he is a member of school spectacular, performing art. He is also great gold player and excellent mathematics and writing skills.
However, he is still autism is very clearly. But I'm very proud of him.
