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

  • PRE TD  -social skills; communicates with others, greeting them by waving and smiling, uses some sounds and several words & several signs. Enjoys song time within a familiar group.Participates and enjoys action songs such as incy wincy, wind the bobbin up, lying down with others in close contact for sleepy bunnies. Enjoys being social with other children & adults, points to body parts when asked e.g. where is your nose/ears/hair/knees? runs around the room following others and enjoys being amongst other children.

    PRE TD -Routines are varied from week to week and the infant has embraced confidently any changes or transitions that have occured e.g. happy to visit a new toddler group, take a different route on a walk or a car journey, sitting in a different seat. 

    PRE TD - emotional: separates from parent with ease, says bye, waves and blows kisses. the infant has an established sleep routine and is quick to settle at sleep time.

    PRE TD sensory - the infant tollerates noises e.g. washing machine, bouncy castle, hand drier, loud children or music, makes marks with fingers in paint, enjoys sand play, water play.

    PRE TD Repetitive behavour - the infant places objects into containers and has trajectory schema - draws straight lines downwards -enjoys swings, pushing chairs or swings.

    PRE TD  physical - can climb safely onto chairs, slides,bouncy castle, soft play equipment, walks up stairs and does not require assistance to do so.Enjoys playing in the ball pool, confident with ride on toys.Enjoys playing with a wide range of toys and activities.

    The only concern up to this point was speech development.The infant has an older sibling and is always around others that know & respond to what the infants needs so the delay was anticipitated and steps were being taken to address this.

    TD appeared, then we obs the following once the TD ended:

    social skills,communication: becomes unsettled/makes cry noises in a variety of situations: upset when a child or adult moves away or out of sight ( similar to attachment issues) unsettled at sleep time, cries out when walking or driving a different route. cries when another child sits in a specific chair. Does not like to be touched, responds by recoiling and crying. At song times, does not join in, instead sits out and observes the other children singing.

    sensory: cries at the noise of an aerosol - spray foam - cannot bear to touch the foam and becomes upset cannot remain near it had to move away. upset by the bouncy castle air noises & refuses to go in the same room as it.

    Does not seem to comprehend or respond when asked where is your nose? etc.

    Hand flaps when excited - this infant never did this before TD

    physical: loss of balance when climbing, needs to be supported even at low heights, tips the sit and ride cars over very easily, adult needs to be close by at all times

    repetitive behaviours: posting balls, playing with the straps on pushcahirs/highchairs/car seats, at every opportunity  

     

    It is extremely coincidental & significant, is it not? that these behaviours have manifested after TD

    Yes, we understand that everyone on the planet is different as is anyone with ASD

    but to have had these social, emotional, sensory & physical skills, for them to be replaced with a different skill set is remarkable, this is not a slide back in development due to illness, its a marked change, these are behaviours that the infant did not have before the TD
