7:13 My 9 year old who has ASD and DMDD
has been out of control for the last 3 weeks
My 9 year old who has ASD and DMDD has been out of
control for the last 3 weeks. We lost my husband (his dad and
absolute favorite person) to a motorcycle accident exactly 4 months
ago and my sons grief had been beyond words. Between us (his
psychiatrist and I) trying to keep him from falling into a scary
depression and him acting up, I think we may have messed up his
meds and given him mania. He became hyper aggressive in the last
two weeks and extremely difficult to handle. I am DEVASTATED that
it had to come to this. I’ve cried like a baby, prayed to my
husband to help me get through this, since I have two more little
ones at home, and prayed to God to heal my sweet boy’s heart.
Seeing him be restrained and taken was one of the hardest things
I’ve ever had to experience aside from the trauma of my husband’s
death. I am feeling guilty, sad, ashamed (of myself and my
parenting, not him), lonely, and absolutely desperate for a
solution. I’m not really sure what I came here for, but I just know
how terrible it is now to have to put your baby into inpatient care
at a psychiatric facility. This is heartbreaking.
16:39 What do you recommend for anxiety
related disorders?
24:37 What do you think about stem cell
research?
31:43 What are your thoughts on the treatment
of autism and other diseases with mms/chlorine dioxide?
32:12 Shannon & Dr. Granpeesheh,
Thank you both so much! I am wondering if there is a way to obtain
1-on-1 personal assist. for using the SKILLS program for my 17
year-old (High Functioning/Asp.) daughter. I have contacted SKILLS
and CARD, in VA, regarding this. My daughter is high functioning
(Asperger's) and so social / stimuli overwhelm is where is
struggles. Thank you both for your tireless help!
36:26 Problem with a supervisor, is it ok to
go to higher up imma little OCD and Policies that are not being
communicated well
39:07 I want to know about does Gluten free
casein free diet help?
I want to know about does Gluten free casein free diet
help? Vit D from sun and gut healing really matters on recovery of
autism.
47:00 I think my 5-year-old son may be on the
spectrum
I think my 5-year-old son may be on the spectrum He
takes things very literally (and this leads to frustration) He is
highly sensitive to loud situations (he found a recent trip to a
stadium sports match really overwhelming) If we shout he can't
handle it and reacts violently back He focusses obsessively on
things like colouring (but it does calm him down) BUT While he is
shy awkward with adults unless he knows them well and trusts them,
he's actually very popular with his peer group and loves
socialising with other children. He can also be beautifully
affectionate with us (on a good day) and can hold eye contact very
well. In fact, he loves looking in our eyes. But would barely look
at an adult he doesn't know. Does this fit with Autism? Thank you
so much.
53:20 Our 6-year-old grandson, who has autism
and is nonverbal, has run out of the house naked twice
Our 6-year-old grandson, who has autism and is
nonverbal, has run out of the house naked twice in the last week
and was found in a retail store parking lot. Police were involved
both times. They live in the city and I'm worried DCFS may get
called. Does anyone have any insight/advice so we can try and help
the situation? Thank you so much, this is really hard
