Has anyone tried ABM special-needs therapy or her DVD programs? Please let me know your views about it

My daughter recently diagnosed with mild
Autism. She is picky eater and having severe constipation. Can I give her PediaSure?

My son is a very picky eater and always has been. He is going to be 6 years old this December. I am afraid that this could affect his development and it really does scare me. Especially, now that there are always commercials about "80% of the brain developing in the first 3 years." I did give him a multi vitamin prescribed by his pediatrician but did not start giving it to him until his 1 year check up (Qualitest Multi-Vit with Flouride). I just didn't even think about vitamins before that, I do… read more

I recently noticed the multivitamin I have been giving my kids has red dye 40. I want to give my kids a better vitamin. In my research, I found out kids with ASD need certain vitamins and minerals to feel better. I would love some input on what some of you give, and I'd also like to know why iron and copper are contraindicated.

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!

Does anyone have an asd child that is on lamictal/ clonodine/ or guafesine (adhd) that has them on a probiotic? Trying to decide to start my son on a vitamin w probiotic but not sure if it would interfere?

Hi friends, can you share experiences of GFCF diet on your kids ? Does it improve speech?

Is it abit too much and I am only phoning to see if he has eaten - he is not eating properly - all the time fruits and no carbohydates(rice/bread/potatoes), protein(meat) or vegetables

Am I being unreasonable - as they don't take him to doctor when he gets like this which is often

Hey All! I am looking for ideas for a gluten free, dairy free drink for my 3yo son with ASD. I googled it and found OneSource- it is lactose free but made from milk. He is not lactose intolerant.. it is a full-on dairy allergy. No whey or casein so that isn't going to work. I know there has to be SOMETHING out there along the lines of Boost or Ensure.. with his autism he is VERY particular about what he will eat. I have him on a multivitamin but I feel like I need to do more. Any suggestions?
