Our son is now 4 and half year old. He is diagnosed with Pdd-nos with probable autism and hyperactivity. As I have read in most of your stories, he was different as a baby, I.e. Had to be held in a particular position for sleeping, rocked for ages, we did not find it different as he is our first child. At 1 and 1/2 we started observing that he is regressing in speech, lost eye contact and did repetitive actions. He had a very disturbed sleep. We have used many therapies on him since then, starting with Aba when we were in US and now in India, speech, occupational and behavior. We also studied various supplements and gave him vitamins, carnosine and omega three. After coming to India, we had his blood work done, and what came out was, his serum lactate levels were high and carnitine levels low. So the Dr. Started giving him Lcarnitine, Co- Q and b vitamins. We had his whole dose of supplements planned. And I believe that this worked like a wonderful thing for him. He started saying complete sentences, can pronounce most of the words, and started giving a better eye contact, which helped us to connect with him. Now with a healthy social life, day care friends, school friends, his lonely time, where he just plays with his cars, is much reduced. We are happy abt his progress..
