[QUOTE="Lillyth, post: 198546, member: 5975"] Hi and welcome! I don't have much in the way of advice about your CW, as I have not had to deal with that, but I did want to jump in and say something about the High-Functioning Autism (HFA). You said there are no medications to deal with that, but my son is an Aspie, and is on Geodon to help with that. I've read from several sources that Geodon is very helpful in treating people on the autism spectrum (in very low doses). You may want to look into that, or one of the other anti-psychotics that are used for the same purpose. Also, if you haven't tried it yet, a Gluten-Free/Caesin-Free diet can work wonders. My sister used to work with a woman whose son was so low on the autism spectrum that he essentially just sat in a corner and drooled. He had no language. She put him on the girlfriend/CF diet, and low and behold, he started speaking and being social! Only, now, if he gets even the [I]tiniest[/I] crumb of gluten, he goes catatonic for three weeks. That is how powerfully autistic children can be affected by gluten or caesin. My own son becomes completely unable to emotionally regulate himself. (We're talking HUGE meltdowns for something he would not even be [I]slightly[/I] bothered by othwise). I know that was not your chief complaint, but it was the only thing I could weigh in on - even little things like this might help your overall stress level... And again, welcome.:salute: I've only been on the board two days & gotten GREAT advice. I think you will find the same... [/QUOTE]
