Autistic Children?

yes autism is incurable. But there are methods for improving situation just a little bit. In my country Lithuania there is group of researches who apply contact of autic child with dolphins (in dolphinarium) as a therapy for releasing of syphtoms. And they get a really good results.

Thank you both very much...She had mentioned that one doctor said he could be put on Ritalin (or something of the sort) to help (he's also ADHD if I'm not mistaken) but then ALL the doctors (including that one) refuse to prescribe him anything until he is 6 yrs old which conviniently is when OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) stops paying for these sorts of things, like I mentioned, which means the caregiver pays out of pocket AND pays more than what the gov would pay... Heres a question though, this little guy seems to go in spurts when it comes to eating and sleeping...He can go days without sleeping other than an hour here and hour there type thing and its the same with eating...she was telling me the other night that he will not eat for days at a time (which of course must make him even more difficult to handle)... Have you experienced anything like that with your son Blueskies and if so do you have any ideas on how to handle it? I mean I know that when my kids cant sleep, disfusing peppermint helps a great deal and when they were little giving them massages etc but my nephew doesnt like being touched/physical contact so that wouldnt work (though apparently rubbing his feet when he was an infant DID work but now he wont hear of it)..and with Peppermint it could have a reverse affect on him considering apparently sedatives do or any sedating type medication does...

Thanks for the suggestions....My nephew is actually located in Canada but I'll have to check out Autistic.com and see if they have any links to Canadian sites maybe...
