Megan,

My son is 5 1/2 and has come a long way in the last year. He is on Super Nu Thera along with other vitamins and minerals with the help of a nutritionist. Super Nu Thera was formulated for our children and is available through Kirkland Laboratories. You mentioned that your son has ear infections and so did my son. He had chronic ear infections from 3 months to 3 years. Two sets of tubes. First set was inserted at age 8 months. After researching autism, it was brought to my attention that alot of our kids have allergy issues as well. I bought a book called "Is this you Child" by Doris Rapp and decided after reading it that my son probably has allergy issues. I took him to see an allergist and sure enough he doe's. Milk is a problem for him and I wondered that for many years but was told that he was fine. Milk allergies have alot to do with ear infections. Have you had your child tested for allergies?

My son is in Speech and OT in the public schools as well as privately. He see a private psychologist once a week. He is taking music therapy and vitamin therapy as mentioned above. He is doing very well. His speech has picked up tremendouly (but still behind) and his fine motor skills went up 10 months in a 5 month time period (and still behind). He still has behavior issues we are working out, but these too have gotten much better. His attending skills have gotten better in school but are not where they need to be for kindergarten. They are saying that another year in PPCD and he will be ready for mainstream kindergarten. He is very smart. He knows his ABC's, Counts to about 25, knows his shapes, colors, address, telephone number, eats with a spoon and fork, is fully potty trained (since 3 1/2) and much, much more. I'm very, very proud of my son.

Last but not least, always believe and have faith in your child and you will see miracles happen right before you eyes. I see miracles everyday and you will too if you keep the faith.
