treatment options

When you first get the diagnosis of autism, it can be very overwhelming for most parents. Some treatments might work wonders with one child, but do nothing with another. It's all trial and error. There are meds out there that some children take. We have decided not to medicate our son yet. If in the future he's having a lot of problems, then we will. One the best treatment options I would highly recommend is ABA therapy. It can be expensive, but if you shop around you can find a better price. We tried the GFCF diet and it didn't go too good. My son would not eat any of the soy products. Some parents swear by this diet. It can't hurt to try. For more info on autism, please visit www.overcomingautisticchallenges.com
