Update

Correction!
We moved our Homeopathy appointment to a later date.
I will post when we do see him though.

It's been quite a while since I posted anything.... Last fall after always thinking or maybe selectively believing Emma had always been this way and I just didn't notice, a few family members said no way. One said Angie I came to visit and she was a bright eyes baby, 3 months later I came to visit and she was gone.
I guess when the tantrums where getting worse and worse I was just trying to get peace and I wasn't noticing how far down the rabbit hole she was going.
This hit me hard.

After I picked myself up off the floor we decided to try Amy Yasko (http://www.dramyyasko.com/) who runs a test to look for genetic variations in DNA in the methylation pathway. Sure enough. It explained why she reacted to terribly to what most people have great gains. It also explained why she reacted to chemicals in foods the way she does.

After slowly adding in some of the main support supplements recommended we where actually able to add in a multi vitamin, something she has never been able to tolerate. Woot Woot!

Emma also started school in Jan. She did wonderfully. In the beginning she was getting very overwhelmed but at the same time we upped her clo and she started to blossom some more again and the school year went very well.
At the same time her processing amazed me. That outside of the box thinking is getting better and better.

So here we are. Amazing progress! You would never think Autism when talking to her most days and I am thrilled but the complete removal of gluten has brought on weight loss so I was at a crossroads. I can't keep taking food away and replacing with supplements etc. that makes the behaviors return.
We decided that while Yasko's approach is very successful for many, the long list of supplements and additional removal of foods just wasn't sustainable.

We are still dealing with the fevers and cycles of ocd and echolalia along with yeast.
So here we stood with a child who appeared to be completely "NT" but unable to be involved in most activities since they revolve around food and finances dwindling as the supplement list grew so going out was getting harder and harder.

I made the decision to see a Homeopath. Pierre Fontaine, he is having great success with autism and developmental delays.
Children are able to eat fruit again without loosing emotional control for a week.
It's heartbreaking to be honest, my daughter wants to eat apples. Not junk food apples and I have to say no.
We see him in Sept.....
