Autism

Hey, my son will be 6 tomorrow and is on the spectrum, too. He was pretty mild to begin with, but we have done quite a bit over the last two years that I think has helped (and some stuff that has probably made things worse but not sure). Digestive enzymes and testing/removing food allergens has helped a lot….but he is now only pooping every few days, when he used to poop everyday. So no doubt I’ve accidentally slowed his metabolism down. I love the idea of connecting with other people that have asd kids on this forum, since it is different than a lot of stuff out there. I’ve been using Ray Peat and Danny Roddy info for myself and my two kids, too. And of course Matt’s info has been very helpful. I do use some supplements with my son, too. We’re also currently doing NAET and camel milk.

There is a facebook group called “Healing with Camel Milk” that has info on the different camel milk farms around the world (there are actually a handful here in the US). They also have a lot of info about it’s healing properties and can answer some questions. I get mine from the camel milk association-they have a website. Some people seem like they have had really great success with it, although I’m not sure about how it would affect a kiddo with strep flare-ups (is that PANDAS?). I did see some improvement with my son when we first started with it-he seemed calmer and more attentive. I think it’s helped his digestion some. Also, I really like that he can drink milk again–he was reacting to both cow and goat milk. It’s expensive though, so we only do a small amount.

I think NAET is pretty interesting, and I think we’ve seen a little improvement, but not as much as I was hoping. I do think he’s less sensitive to eggs now, because he used to get a rash from eating them and he no longer has any rashes. I haven’t noticed a lot of other improvements though.
