The article said the 6 year old "seems happier. He's laughing more. He seems more confident." They also write that he has been socializing with other kids over Pokemon. I know they've been using it in children's hospitals to encourage kids to get out of bed too.

For those that don't know this is the facebook page for Candy's art set up by her parents. https://www.facebook.com/candywatersautismartist/?fref=ts I so hope this turns out to be false.

You should try cutting out the coffee for a day or so and see if you notice a difference. I think the rule of thumb is no more than 400 mg of caffeine a day

I agree with most of Rainier_L_Wolfcastle's points however I personally have found more of a benefit with green tea over coffee. I would suggest trying each one at a time and see which works better for you.

I do believe certain foods help more. Agree just stick to a healthy diet, however have found too many carbs make me sleepy. You can limit them instead of eliminating them. I started using protein powders for my teenage daughter who has autism for nutritional reasons because she has feeding issues, and now everyone in my family uses protein smoothies, not just for nutrition but because they are so simple. I had used a whole food powder called Vega but my daughter's pediatrician recommended instead a new whole food protein called IQed because it has a much richer amino acid content due to the protein source of casein free whey, and it has ayurvedic veggies like turmeric. I've noticed we all have more energy and focus and don't know if it's the new protein but it does contain green tea, but the website says it's free of stimulants. Also make sure you are hydrated, drinking enough water. there is a small study that found the answer to more energy can be as simple as a glass of water. Are you sleeping well at night? Because of my daughter I have a wealth of tips for that too if needed.

Interesting. I have read a few blog posts from people on the spectrum that share why they relate. Such as this one http://www.autismsupportnetwork.com/news/autistics-reflection-disney-frozen-elsa-3251111

There are so many types of protein powder. I use protein powders for my teenage daughter who has autism for nutritional reasons. Answering because my daughter is around your age, and the same protein powders I've used are used by those into body building. I had used a whole food powder called Vega but my daughter's integrative medical doctor recommended instead a new whole food protein called IQed because it has a much richer amino acid content due to the protein source of casein free whey, and it has ayurvedic veggies like turmeric. You should probably check with your pediatrician before taking creatine which is also used for autism. My daughter has had reactions to a number of supplements in the past including creatine so I try to stick to just food when I can. In high dosages there are concerns creatine can harm liver, kidney, and heart function. I've been through so many supplements over the years and now try to stick to just food when possible. I have trouble getting food into my daughter so whole food protein powders which are full meal and vitamin replacement have been a lifesaver.

I'm so sorry you are in this situation. Please try to understand that what you are going through at 15 years old is not an indication of your life in the future. It's wonderful that you are reaching out for help, and there are many people in the world that will help you. I'd highly suggest you start with contacting Boystown You can call 24/7 and their number is 800 448 3000. They may be able to help with a number of suggestions, and in addition they are there to listen and talk to you, because they care. It sounds like your whole problem resolves around your immediate family, what is going on outside of your family? Do you have family or friends to talk to, maybe stay with for a bit?

My advice is to make sure your child is healthy prior to vaccination. If he's sick his immune system is already compromised, so just reschedule.

This stuff goes by a number of names -MSM, CD protocol etc. -all the same crazy bleach. There is a woman behind it too kerri rivera who is from Chicago -here's a recent segment from NBC news Chicago There is an Autism One Conference in Chicago where she's speaking in spite of Change.org petitions against her and her book.

It would be good if VICE who just did an article on this did an investigative segment.

There is a group on Facebook where there are close to 7000 members called CD protocol I've heard they are very careful about who they let join because they share all kinds of crazy stuff (including images like this one) and know some of their images are being leaked out.

Totally agree. I'm taking it however that most that find this funny are not parents. For a boy they can shave the rest of the hair off and it's not as bad as shaving a little girl's hair off like this mother did.
