help infant has autism please help

PREVENTIONISBETTERTHANCURE

 

I am a childminder and have cared for a number of children that have experienced diarrhoea. 

There are so many bugs going around the toddlers, plus people are generally more social these days. We are all sending our children to nurseries, playgroups,toddlers etc. to encourage our children to become social.

The concern was -  that when a toddler has diarrhoea -

 the bad bacteria will continue to multiply if they are fed milk during the illnesss -

They need clear fluids to keep them hydrated and protect their brain - aviod cows milk at this time, if at all possible

Cows milk multiplies the bad bacteria -

Please advise other parents with new babies and anyone with a child specifically under 3yrs of age - if their baby/child becomes ill with diarrhoea they must aviod giving the baby/ child cows milk until they recover. use alternatives if you have to - plus ask your G.P. for dietry advice. 

Wierd thing is -  yoghurt contains all the good bacteria to put the balance back in the gut - so aviod the cows milk but still try yoghurt, you can get pro biotic drinks too, but advice is only use them for a child when they are ill, as children don't normally need probiotic products in their daily diet.

 I phone Morrisons customer care helpline - they were really helpful - gave advice re: consuming probiotics and yoghurt if under 3yr old and during pregnancy

 

 

Please spread the word - thanks

  • OK, there are two factors that are most likely involved in what you have observed with the infant, PREVENTION:

    Firstly, as has already been stated several times, the 'symptoms' of ASD tend to appear at different stages in different infant's development. Some, like myself, even show very little sign of having an ASD when young, and are only diagnosed in adulthood.

    Secondly, as has also already been stated, stressors, such as being ill, tend to have the effect of making our ASD symptoms worse. This is because, at it's core, one the main difficulties we have is with the processing of sensory inputs - it's like we have very narrow-band, but very high-fidelity, sensory input channels and it is often when these input channels become overwhelmed and overloaded that our ASD symptoms are at their worst. We also often suffer quite a long 'come down' period after the stressors (though equally, we also often recover extremely quickly (this is one of the many paradoxes of having an ASD)) - so we 'manifest' the symptoms caused by a stress factor for quite some time after that stress factor has gone away.

    The second factor described is most likely also the cause for the teenager miraculous imrovement in speech - take away the stress and our ASD symptoms will disappear. In fact, it is said by one expert in Asperger's that the only known 'cure' for Asperger's is to take the person with Asperger's to their bedroom, walk out, and close the door - because when we're in a comfortable, safe, environment, with no stressors, and no need for social communication, all our symptoms evaporate.

    If you want to help those in your care who have an ASD, then I ask that you, please, don't jump to conclusions about what you think may or may not be causing the symptoms you see, but rather, do some research, ask questions here, and above all else ignore everything that you read that doesn't come from good, solid, reliable, scientific sources.

    There are lots of people out there making money out of peddling nonesense about the supposed causes of ASDs, even though the scientific community continues to prove them wrong, time, after time, after time.

    Such people are no better snake-oil salesmen.

    If you need help to find good, solid, reliable, scientific sources of information, please ask, I'm sure we can point you in the right direction.
