My boys are back from their hiking trip and my 2nd oldest (16) described the problems my oldest (17.5) had on the trip. The neuro symptoms that I saw after ds1’s youth group trip last month were showing themselves on this trip as well, only to a more severe degree.
I must admit that I panic when I hear or see these problems in ds. Because his ASD diagnosis was made so late (when he was 14), I am afraid that we will not have help when it comes to the neuro part of this either. It’s been such a long and lonely journey. Where we live there just isn’t the help available for these kids…and now ds is nearly 18.
I am so tempted to begin the GFCF diet with him right now but I need the neuro to see DS and his symptoms as they really are. His neuro appt. is on the 25th. So, I will keep my original plan of starting the diet on the 1st of August and pray like crazy about all of this.
