[QUOTE="msmlb, post: 448164, member: 12291"] Has anyone put their child on a special diet or eliminated certain foods to help with ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? DS' clinician was discussing how she has noticed some children can have a sensitvity to artifical dyes and this can increase their hyperactivity and aggression. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried any food elimination and had success. DS had his Abilify dose increased to 5 mg a day but there has not been any improvement. We start him on 20 mg of Vyvase tomorrow. We have now started Intensive Home Therapy and he has two clinicians coming to the house. One will come once a week for an hour and the other will be here for up to seven hours a week. I hope they can help DS work on his behaviors because I do not see how he will return to school in September. His aggression is really bad right now and the smallest thing that rocks his world will set him off. He screams, throws things, self harms by punching and biting, and threatens to hit me (sometimes he actually does). Some days are so exhausting and it seems like it will never get better :sigh: Survivng day by day, Melissa [/QUOTE]
