Denial and AUTISM!!!!

According to webster DENIAL means the following :

1. refusal to admit the truth or reality ...

2. a psychological defense mechanism in which confrontation with a personal problem or with reality is avoided by denying the existence of the problem or reality...

I deal with many parents every month that are dealing with this issue in their life , After the diagnosis of AUTISM has become a reality to them . It is normal for a parent to try to fall in the DENIAL process . I know in my personal jurney with AUTISM I had some denial but honestly I had it for a few hours , I thank God for that . As per my husband he never had denial at all . He embrassed the situation with our kids with an open heart . So it's normal for a parent to go through this process but it becomes dangerous for the child and the parent when after a few months or years the parent does nothing to improve the life of the child .

After coming acrows with a few parents who have decided to block themselves from what is real . I have come up with a list of things parents have used as an excuse t o either not give services to their kids or not follow the DAN protocol . Here they are :

1. It is only a speech problem .....

2. My kids is just too active that is all ....

3. He/She will be just fine , We just have to give it time .....

4. It's too much school they are too little....

5. They tell me it is just very mild!!!!.

Now these are only the top 5 , I can't do any more cause really there is too many excuses and I don't have that much time right now for that. But I have as well come up with atop 5 reason's why you should stop think and react to your diagnosis , If you are interested please read on .

1. Early intervention is the key to success with our children . If we have a child who is either not speaking or who has a speech delay . It is very important to first have them assest by the proper person . Once the assestmnent has been completed it is only fair for the child that we ask the speech therapist to explain the findings and to let you know at what level of speech our kid is in comparison to their peers . This is important to be able to address the issue strongly.
We should never settle for once aweek or just let the school deal with it . You should be concerned with your child speech and should be looking in other ways to get speech from none profit organizations via the insurance . Pay for it if you can . But do it at least 3 hours per week . Specially for a just diagnosed child .
If you intent to do biomedical and you should . Get yopurself a good DAN doctor and follow the protocol . and start with the following : Vitamin B6- B12 Cod liver oil ,omega 3, HBOT, Super-nuthera... GFCF DIET and nutrition

2. Activity in our kid is usually normal cause of the fact that it is either of 2 things one is Hiperactivity disorder or the main one , Sensory issues . I ususally go with number 2 the sensory problems . These problems will never go away but can be dealt with .
Do yo uhave a kids that just can't sit still is touching everything and putting all things in their mouth or climbing ETC. well this child is a sensory seeker like my alanis and yo u need sensory therapy that will help regulate his sensory overload . this therapy can be done by parents at home but clinical therapy is better at least 2 times peer week .
This child might as well be having some anxiety too so you migth want to try the following .

The Dan protocal calls for the already mentioned on 1 and add DMG/TMG or a supplement by Planetary Herbals called Calm Child .
3.What are we giving time to??. Our kids with autism have something called regretion . This means if we don't constantly teach they will stop learning .

4.What is too much ?. All medical profesionals and therapist with no exception tells a parent that there is never too much of any therapy . The more the better .

5.MILD!!!. ASD stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder . The spectrum is the following :

Severe ** Mild ***PDD *** High fuctioning *** Apergers

Regardless of where in the spectrum your child is all of the above mentioned are excellent and should be address seriously .

If you are a parent who is in denial I ask you to please be strong and make the right change for your child . I didn't even mentioned all of the things that can be done but here is a few places you c an go for guidance :
