Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that affects 1 in 150 children, more often boys then girls. There is no cure, but with faith, hope and love for our precious children we can stand strong and help our childrent to recover.
Why we're saving Chase
In June of 2003 Chase was diagnosed with Autism. It has been a long journey trying to "bring him out" we recently have researched and started a plan of new treatments. Our trials, errors, laughs and tears are posted within these pages.

What a day...its finally over
Okay so today was Chase's first full day on the GSE. We didn't see any reaction at all and he never even pooped!!! Wondering why I made up some more GSE in juice and for some reason out of the blue it dawned on me, stir it up! DUH!!! He wasn't actually getting any of the GSE just the juice on the top! No wonder he would dump out the last swallow. I felt like an idiot! Chase 1 Me 0. So I went to Walmart and bought some suringes so I can force him to take it and know that he gets it, I also got OLE at Walmart, who'd a thought they would carry it and it was reasonably priced too, along with the Biotin so I picked both of them up. I tried to give him a chewable multivitamin today and a chewable probiotic, well I got them thrown back in my face so now I have to find a liquid in both of those so I can use a suringe and force it also. After doing all this research I am finding out a lot of things about the other children too. I suspect both Trinity and Spencer have a yeast issue, and Trinity today developed a weird spotted rash on her back today. I am beginning to think it will never end, I am tired, really tired, I am physically tired, emotionally tired and every other way a person can be tired. I have to get up early to get things done w/o the kids "help" and I stay up really really late researching even more so I know for sure that I know all of the latest treatments, for example I just found an all natural homeopathic way to chelate him with out IV's and stuff very very cool! As for the diet issue I am trying to decide which way to go, once I have him deyeasted he needs to be on a yeast free, sugar free and possibly carb free diet, all this ontop of the gluten free casein free. Just shoot me in the foot now it would be easier to deal with than trying to get my obnoxiously picky eater to eat something "legal" that he can have. I am also on the search for really good refriderator locks, he already figured ours out so it is useless, I also have to update the kitchen cupboard ones because he likes to push a chair into the kitchen to get what he wants and usually it is something he can't have. Did I mention I am doing all of this and sticking to my resolutions and not drinking pop, eating chocolate and drinking coffee? Those are my addictions, I have been addicted to chocolate ever since I quit smoking 8 years ago, thats how I was able to stop so I decided I need to kick the chocolate habit for good also. I was also drinking atleast 2-4 cans of pop a day and I didn't need the calories, and I only drank coffee for the creamer I put in it, again more calories I didn't need. It has been tough but I try to focus on other things, like Chase and the treadmill. With that load off my shoulders I am going to try and go to sleep with a pillow over my head so I don't have to hear Chris playing guitar hero.
