Hi, my name is Tina and I have a 10 year old brother who was diagnosed with Autism. He has Autism because he got mercury poisoning on his brain from the themerisol in his vaccines. He also inheirited a mutate MTHFR gene from both his parents (my mom and step dad). He is non verbal, can not have a communication device because he was "Steaming?" off of it more than he was using it, he knows a little sign language (mainly uses signs for yes, and more) and we have always been able to know when he is upset or doesn't want something to be happening. He started getting really aggressive and trying to hit people and it just has been getting worse and worse. He doesn't want anyone to talk at all, not at all. He covers his ears a lot now and has a lot of melt downs (several a day) and hasn't been able to sleep at all really (maybe a few hours a night,at best) and when he does get to sleep it isn't really deep sleep and he's up several times a night headed to my mom and step dads room trying to hit them (he has been hitting very hard, not holding back or stopping at all). He's been diagnosed with everything under the sun in addition to his Autism (Bi Polar, Manic, Epilepsy, depression) and recently he completed a carbohydrate specific diet that completly clean out his intestines. He was taking mostly vitamin or natural supplements, with the exception of Zoloft liquid. He doesn't eat dairy, wheat, gluten, or dyes . We get special flour and recipes to maintain this diet. He drinks mostly carbonated mineral water (with flavor, but no sugars or dye)His exceptional quality is that he is a wiz at using anything electronic, computers being his specialty!! He can run a computer fowards and backwards, he always knows what steps produce what results and he can troubleshoot them really well. He remembers everything, he only has to see someone (just see, not be shown) how to do something, anything, ONE maybe TWO times before he knows how. He is wonderful and we all love him with all our hearts!! Recently he was also diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder. They have him taking Seraquil now and after he gets better sleep for a while they are going to put him on a mood stablizer. I would appriciate any thoughts on this topic, but more than anything, I would like any support you can offer my mother and step father who are under a huge amount of stress right now. Please help put hope and support back into their lives!!!
