[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 608414, member: 11791"] {{hugs}} We've walked that road... what to try, how fast to move in whatever direction... and it's all on OUR plate (as parents). Dietary and/or supplement issues... may be A factor, but are less likely to be THE root cause. Medical issues (such as thyroid problems) can be A factor. For example, many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie kids do better on girlfriend or CF diets and/or without food dyes etc. but this does not remove the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie "wiring", it just makes it a lot easier to live with. In some ways, you are better off to have gone through comprehensive evaluation BEFORE trying the diet stuff (JMO, but... typically the testers do not see the complete spectrum that makes up our kids, so if we can present them at their "worst" we tend to get more accurate results). Once you get your results, there is nothing wrong with trying various dietary interventions... [I]one at a time, so you know which one(s) have impact[/I]. I'm CF... we went CF with our kids, then challenged them back with dairy a few years later... and they no longer need that restriction (I'm still CF, after 40+ years). Medical issues such as thyroid (or sleep issues or whatever other ones come up) need to be addressed as medical issues. I think you're not the right track! [/QUOTE]
