Talan
by Michelle
I have a 7 year son, Talan, who has severe autism. Talan has many symptoms including a very restrictive diet. I have never been able to give Talan any medications let alone any forms of supplements. Talan has been going to a special since he was four. We also went to early intervention classes before that. He has recieved speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, operations done to lengthen the tendons in his legs as well as a lot of other things and although he has improved a great deal because of these therapies, the main symptoms remain the same. Talan still does not talk, he still does not use the toilet, refuses to wear clothes at home, attacks both his sister {who has PDD/NOS} and myself daily. He also flaps and spins. Basiclly, Talan rules our house. I love my child very, very much and want to help him but what other options do I have to help him if I cannot get him to swallow any form of medication, and are using all of the services I know of and have access to? Remembering the fact that I can not give anything by mouth,does anybody have any help. Click here to read or post comments. |
