What Multivitamin Do You Give Your Child With Autism
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone recommend a certain multivitamin? I see a bunch of different vitamins that contains extra omega 3's, iron, etc. My daughter is a picky eater so i know she doesn't get all the nutrients she needs. She will only eat gummy vitamins. We have tried the flinstones kind but they seem a little bit too hard to chew. I will talk with her MD and see what he thinks but i thought i'd try here as well...thanks!

Is Your Child Deficient In Vitamin B?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

There seems to be a correlation between low vitamin B levels and ASD. Doctors aren’t sure why that is or if it’s a question of a genetic component or they are not processing or retaining it properly. There are several B vitamins such as B12, B6, biotin, folate, etc. Has anyone had their child’s physician test them for this or mentioned it as being associated with ASD? TIA!

Hi we have a 12 boy with High Functioning Autism. Recently found out that he also has ADHD. Doctor is having us try Quillivant XR (methylphenidate HCI)because it is liquid and he doesn't do well with pills. Has anyone else used this? Wondering how it worked and possible side effects?

What I like about Ritalin is that you can see the results right away, and it is very clear if it works or not. I would be cautious about med results based on general population however. For ex… read more

Non Verbal Watching Shows In Different Languages Is That Ok?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter is 6yrs old and non verbal. She's beginning to mumble alot and repeat words. She loves to watch shows in different languages. Will this hinder her from learning her primary language first?

My non-verbal 10 year old really likes listening to other languages. I figure that any language is stimulating the parts of the brain used in language. It can only help.
