help infant has autism please help

 

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

    Whilst this is true, and you have every right to express you opinion freely, and openly. You don't, however, have the right for those opinions not to be challenged if they are wrong.

    I dont expect anyone to take what I have posted at face value - find out for yourself.

    Do you not think that we, people on the spectrum, have done precisely that?!

    I have cared for many children and four of them had Toddler Dirrhoea.

    Three of them are now on the ASD spectrum

    the fourth one is not

    the fourth one didnt have cows milk!!!!

    the fourth one had dairy intollerance and eczema  this child was given goats milk.

    Correlation does not imply causation.

    Are there other cultures that dont feed their children cows milk. We are the only creatures on the planet that feed our young on milk from another species.

    We're also the only species on the planet to have walked on the surface of the moon! So what?! Does going to the moon cause ASD too?!

    And yes, that's a 'ridiculous' analogy, but it's no more ridiculous than your claims that ASD is caused by drinking cows milk when you have diarrhia as a toddler!

    I am not an expert , just a terrified childminder.

    Well, if you're not an expert, then stop presenting what you believe as fact. You have not "seen", you believe you have seen. And 3 out of 4 cases does not a proof make.

    To think that some of these children are so easily being switched into the ASD world.

    Well, why don't you try listening to those of us that actually live in that world, and therefor have an interest in actually understanding the causes, and take it from us that all the rigorous science tells us that Autism, in all it's forms, is a Developmental Disorder with an underlying genetic cause. You do not 'catch' Autism. You do not 'get switched into the ASD world'. You are BORN WITH IT.

    Maybe they were born with it, but from what I have witnessed, the switching on moment is when their gut cannot cope with the bacteria breeding in there. There gut becomes "leaky" (thats the term I have heard used). Thats why many parents turn to the ASD diet and have to exclude gluten, casin and other food addatives.

    And not a single one of those parents has ever cured their child of Autism!

    This is where I started to find out about what I know to be true - the man is called Konstantin Monastyrsky - he is the professional not me

    I really hope someone , even if only one person takes this on board.

    Why would you want to?! He's peddling this bull crap because he makes a living off it! What have you to gain from peddling too?

    Within my own family we have ADHD, Dyslexia,Dyspraxia and ADD, I just want to help others. I have children and granchildren and I will ensure they follow the Diarrhoea guidelines and pray every day til they safe the other side of the illness. And if they get ASD anyway, I will get them the support & treatment they require.

    They won't 'get ASD'. You don't 'get ASD'. You're born with it.

    Which part of that do you not understand?

  • I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion and I like to give people a fair shout but my immediate reaction was this post should be removed. 

    But then you have all done such a marvellous job of setting the record straight with well reasoned arguments and that IS valuable. Bravo to respondents.

  • ......what does what come out of one end (dirrohea) do to affect the other end (the brain)?

    Yes, everyone gets the runs at least once in their life, but seriously, basic science has PROVEN autism is a developmental 'disorder'. Mostly because autistic children DEVELOP differently. The only question being at which stage the 'symptoms' of autism becomes obvious, which could be about 2-3 or even older.

    And for heavens sake how can you 'watch someone become autistic'?!

    What did you do, film them 24/7 and make a montage documentary!?

    Keep your disruptive opinions to yourself, unless you've got scientific evidence to back it up, stop talking about things you have no idea about and leave it to the proffessionals.

    And FYI, ALL toddlers get sick. Its NATURAL. Getting the sniffles doesn't magically warp their nervous system.

  • Just logged in again, seen this ridiculous discussion again. Im so cross!

    ARE YOU FOR REAL??? Go read some Actual Factual books about autism, or better still Speak to actual people who really know about this, then.......

    APOLOGISE!!!!!!

     

     

  • toddlers do not become autistic,they are at birth.not all with autism suffer health problems and as they are human they do get ill,so medical care helps when required,as with all humans hygene and health care is necessary.

  • hi childminder - you shd have thought twice before posting something like this.  Perhaps if you had you wd have realised you have insufficient knowledge to make these declarations.  The last thing children and parents of children with autism need is yet another person telling them how they can prevent or cure autism.  I wd strongly suggest you do not repeat your "theory" to other parents of babies + young children.  You cd cause great distress to all concerned.   Autism has a genetic component - look at the science and then apologise to all those people you've probably scared the wits out of.   

  • ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!!!

    .... oh and you have not just witnessed a toddler become Autistic, if the toddler is Autistic he was born Autistic.

  • Autism is a developmental disorder. You can't do anything to prevent it. A lot of us have it due to genetics. And some of us also have other conditions which are co-morbid with Autism.

    If your child has autism, there are treatments

    I have seen a GP and a psychiatrist. The first thing both said was there is no treatment. Well, there there are threapies to help with speech and behaviour difficulties; but there is no treatment as such.

    The child was born with Autism but it's not that apparent until they reach a certain age.

  • This is utter rubbish!

    Autism is not caused by diet, or vaccination, or bad parenting!

    It's caused by genetics!

    Stop spreading fear-mongering rubbish!

    AND STOP BLAMING PARENTS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT THEIR FAULT!
