  1. I think I’ve been here since 2007 or 2008 when I figured out that my special needs son needed to read good books and I was trying to figure out what to read to him. I am so grateful for these boards and all of you!
  2. I don’t know what I clicked on Pinterest but I have gotten a whole bunch of pictures lately of orange slices shaped into animals.
  3. I asked it about events in my area this summer and it said it could not help me because it’s last update was Jan 2022. Am I looking in the wrong place?
  4. Are there any online events for Pi day that my teen son (who loves math) can participate in?
  5. about my sons’ seizures and the weird behavior that goes along with it. It is so seriously stressful to have to witness this and have to deal with it and it makes me so sad for them. Please pray that these useless seizures go away. (Yes, they are both on medication and seeing a neurologist)
  6. It is not one specific relationship but rather a few that I observed and wondered about, etc.
  7. Hypothetic situation: An adult child (late twenties or thirties)living in another city. Every time they visit the parent catches them up in a matter-of-fact way on the current lives of the relatives and acquaintances of their past. This ends up being a list of great achievements ie. “A” just got married and moved to (fancy neighborhood). “B” just got their PhD. “C” became CEO of (whatever). The parent is not doing this to put pressure on the child but feels they should share the goings-on of the community. The adult child is doing moderately well or struggling in some way but by no means achieving the success of these others. They listen to all this news and feel that they should feel happy about these others’ successes but end up feeling badly about themselves though they don’t tell their parent this. In general, should parents communicate this kind of info. to their kids? What do you do or what would you do in this situation? Have you experienced this as a parent or an adult child? What if the adult child is doing just as well as A,B and C? Is there any reason not to share the news?
  8. This is my son without special needs. Does appendicitis go with stomach flu?
  9. Now he is saying that it hurts when he lies on his stomach, like there is too much pressure on the bones below his stomach
  10. DS17 was vomiting Saturday night. He ate the same foods as the rest of us and we are fine. Then he woke Sunday feeling awful with a fever of 104. This morning, the fever was gone but he has very bad pain which he insists is not in his abdomen and not in his intestines and not in his bladder but right below his abdomen. A hot water bottle helped minimally. He had some diarrhea yesterday and this morning but no more. He has not eaten much the past 2 days. Should I be concerned or will it probably go tomorrow?
  11. He did well with a quercetin supplement in the past! Methyl b-12 shots put him in a bad mood. When he was 2 years old he had a dramatic improvement with TMG but then crashed and went in a bad mood. For his genomes, he mostly just has one for the ones he has, not both. I will not try 5HTP again and too afraid to try SAME.
  12. Oh! The 19 is from 2019. I never thought of that. Maybe they should have changed it to 20 because everyone associated it with 2020.
  13. He reacted extremely badly to 5HTP. His D-levels are normal to low but vitamin d puts him in a bad mood. He used to do well with turmeric but now it is exacerbating reflux which causes extreme bad moods and sleep disturbances.
  14. Thank you so much Peter Pan! i used to give him megadoses of Vitamin C. Maybe it helped but I stopped because it was causing a worsening of reflux. Same with turmeric. He has MTHFR and COMT tested and he has some of these. Treating MTHFR did not help. How is COMT related to orange juice. He does not drink orange juice because it contains a lot of sugar. He is on a low dose of SSRI which helps his mood but not his senses. Is there a specific SSRI that helps sensory overload? Is LDN low dose naltrexone? Is the alfalfa good for sensory issues or histamine? I might try it!
