re: Parents of children with ADD or ADHD

Quoting EmmaGrace:" My daughter started displaying symptoms of agitation at five months after a vaccine reaction. She was ... [snip!] ... with sensory processing disorder and ADHD...we think she probably has mild autism/asperghers as well...she's nearly 9."

Interesting! What vaccine did that? My son s displaying very similiar symptoms.

No, for a few different reasons. She exhibits many symptoms of asperger's, and I'm quite sure she fits the criteria. However, she functions very well despite a few struggles. She's been on lithium supplementation (the natural form) for over a year now, and is under the care of an excellent physician who specializes in heavy metal toxicity (the vaccines injured her brain). She may always be a little "quirky," but she's recovering well.

Quoting Bad {MAM} -A- Jamma:" This could be a sign of anxiety/ stress. My LO has done it a few times. I'm a habitual hair puller and have been as long as I can remember. I pull my eyelashes and eyebrows."

I wonder if that's it. Nothing is really new in his life...I hope he doesn't have stress. He doesn't seem unahppy. Just hyper. I can't even put his diaper on without him rolling over and crawling away. He laughs when he des it, but if I make him stop moving he screams!! I have to restrain his arms when I put him to bed or else he can'tfall asleep.

I don't want to scare you, but a lot of vaccine injured children start out with similar symptoms.

We don't know for sure which one did it, as she received multiple shots in one day. But she was never the same baby after that set of shots.   The good thing is, recovery is possible.

Now the wiggling stuff is absolutely typical. His brain is probably going a mile a minute and he doesn't want to slow down long enough to get his diaper changed.

That really freaks me out!

Quoting Charlie's Lovely Mommy:" That really freaks me out!"

I'm sorry...it really freaked me out too the first time I reached out to other parents about the symptoms she was displaying. So, so many ADD, ADHD, and Autism moms were like "Yep. That's how my baby's problems started out too."

It's crazy how these stories are so suppressed in the mainstream. There are thousands of parents with the same story.

That all sounds pretty normal honestly.

Quoting Bad {MAM} -A- Jamma:" That all sounds pretty normal honestly. "

That's good. I'm just super paranoid because his fathr has ADHD.

What about therapy? IEP, schooling?

She's been in counseling for two years for stress and anger management, but no OT which I do think she would benefit from. She's in a regular class (in fact she skipped a grade) and her teachers simply work with us with a couple of things...for example, she has to wear earphones to drown out noises when she takes certain tests, because she can't tolerate background noises. Some tests she needs to be removed from the class.

My daughter wears heahones 24/7, plus she is in special classes.
