Replies to 'Asperger's Syndrome'

I home schooled my son, Joe, as well because I was afraid he would be picked on.  He also had a hard time with his brothers.  He would get so mad that he'd cry and tell me that I always stuck up for them.  With Joe he never seemed to see life from the other persons perspective.  But I guess that is what AS is about. 

What helped with Joe was Vitamin B-6 and Magnesium.  Dr. Rimland, of the Autism Institute in California, found that AS kids were often lacking in these.  B-6 is important in neuro- transmissions and magnesium helps to prevent hyperactivity that can accompany B-6 as well being an important supplement. 

I also removed milk from his diet.  He craved all types of foods high in milk so it was tough at first but his meltdowns became fewer and fewer.  Today is in high school.  He has friends.  He weight lifts, wrestles and plays football.  He is happy.  If he eats food with milk he becomes depressed and irritable again.  I am hoping that he will outgrow this intolerance but he hasn't yet.  His allergy testing is negative- this is a reaction not an allergy.  Food for thought.   You are in my prayers!
