poor Evan.. I definately think they should have discussed it with you and set up a plan to cope with the change of teachers.

I'm pretty sure I posted earlier but obviously not..

Anywho... curing ASD? Nah. I know you can do heaps to "lessen" the effects of ASD. Thats why Early Intervention is incredibly important. The Sensory Processing Disorder side of things can be improved so much that over time they are much better able to cope with the outside world. Depending on the issues, you can definately see major improvements.

With us, we went through heavy metal detox (kids with ASD are known for high metal levels), we did elimination diets and allergy testing, we've done early intervention for over 2 years and before that did numerous parenting courses and tried to find ways to make her life easier. I've heard so many things about stuff you can do in order to "cure" ASD, and after all we've done we've seen HUGE improvements in her ability to cope with the world around her. She's not there, but she's so much better than she would have been without all the hard work. I don't think its all for everybody... the food and diet change saw the biggest results.
