Dr. Irwin came over to the house today for a visit. I really respect his opinion and I wanted to ask him a few questions about Seth. We've had so many opinions on him - and lots of different answers. We've heard autism, dyspraxia, adhd, oppositional defiant disorder, sensory integration disorder, etc etc etc. So, he came in and immediately sat down and started playing with Seth. He was amazed at the progress he's made since August. His opinion - lots of emotional and social issues, but NO autism. NO AUTISM! He said that he DID have autism, but he's recovered enough in certain areas for it to be UN-DIAGNOSABLE. To hear a professional say 'it's not autism anymore' made my day. We've worked so hard and I feel like it's paying off.
He also made me feel much better about Seth's diet. He reminded me that some of the villages Dr. Weston A. Price studied had very limited diets and exceptional health. As long as it's not processed junk, then I shouldn't worry about his limited list of foods.
He said that now that our TV is gone, we will probably see a lot of Seth's other "problems" disappear.
Dare I say that I'm now a Happy Hippie Recovered Autism Mom?
