I’ve had someone ask me about my opinions on the non-medical aspects of treating disorders such as my sons.
Would I consider alternative therapies? Sure, I would consider them, but I would also ask my medical professional their opinions about such therapies, I would do a lot of reading and research on these therapies, and I would also talk to the person that would be administering said therapies before I made a final judgment call.
Would I recommend therapies 1. 2. and 3. as an alternative for someone else’s child? Nope.
I am not a doctor, do not claim to have any education within the medical field, nor an expert on anything that is medically related. Quite simply, I am a parent that has learned over the years to cope with the disorders that affect my sons.
Now, when I learned about S’s Asperger’s, I will admit that I talked about it with my chiropractor. I talked about it with him more because he is a friend than anything else, but I also wanted his opinion on the left brain/right brain theories I had read about.
He suggested that weekly treatments may help determine a pattern of behaviour, but also indicated that he would have to provide treatment for quite a while to really start to formulate and track a pattern based on the manipulations required and the behavioural aspects. The adjustments would focus strictly on the 1st and 2nd sections of the spine – no other manipulations would be done.
Prior to starting this treatment, I did send an email to S’s doctor asking if he thought this type of treatment would be detrimental in any way. The doctor surprised me when he replied saying that there having been some studies on the manipulation of certain segments of the spine, but he didn’t know that this treatment would actually be of a benefit to S. After some careful consideration, Hubby and I thought we would go ahead with the treatments. If the chiro was able to determine something within the time frame we had established, great. If not, that was fine too.
Over the time that S was going to see the chiro on a weekly basis, we did notice that the base of the skull did tend to pull to the right more than normal, but there was never a set pattern established. We didn’t continue with the treatments over the summer simply because of the geographical constraints. Nothing has been discussed for this school year, and to be honest, I am not sure that it was a necessary expense.
Sometimes I feel that alternative therapies also have to be worth the cost. Most medical plans don’t cover the cost of alternative therapies; which can get very costly over the long run. Another consideration – why do you want to look at alternative therapies? Is it because you don’t trust conventional Western medicine, or is it because you don’t want to give your child drugs? These are all very personal choices; ones that only you can make.
My only advice – let the buyer beware. There are no magical remedies out there that will be able to ‘cure’ these disorders. There are no cures – if there were, we would already know about them. Many companies that sell natural remedies make claims, but there is no quantifiable proof that they really do work in the way advertised.
If you are considering herbal supplements, or special diet, make sure you are well informed, and very comfortable with the person that will be assisting. Check out their background, and their education. If you are unsure, don’t start your child on anything until you ARE sure.
LEV, thanks for reading my blog and asking me my opinion. I really do understand how difficult and upseting it is during the time of looking for what may be going on with your child. I’m sorry if I haven’t been able to answer your questions more clearly; if you would like, you can email me directly at lupusawareness(at)hotmail(dot)com and we can get in to more specifics.

Educating the educator?
Last Thursday, I noticed a note in S's agenda from the EA. The note was written on Tuesday afternoon, and started with "S did not have a good day." It then when on to tell me that unprovoked, S approached another student and told an off-colour 'joke.'
First off, I didn't quite know why a child would need to be "provoked" in to telling a joke, but she obviously felt this way. The note then went on to tell me that when she asked S to go to the Principal's office for saying said joke, he refused. I am thinking that is what really ticked her off - she does not like to be told 'no.'
Anyway... I asked S to tell me what the joke was. He would not tell me. After a little while of my promising that I would not get angry, nor yell at him, he told me the joke. I must say, it was very rude, and really not appropriate. I determined where he had heard the joke - the A-man was in my bad books, I will admit - and then I had to try and figure out if he really even understood the punch line.
S claims that he did not really understand the joke, but when he told it to his first friend, the friend laughed, so he thought he should tell it to others. Hey, it got a laugh, so it must be funny, right? We can't admit that we don't 'get' the joke that others find amusing.
I guess it was while telling the joke to another friend that the EA overheard and told him to go to the office.
I think what bothered me the most was that when S told his EA that he didn't understand the joke, nor why she was angry with him, she told him that she thought that answer was "a bunch of bologna." Umm, PARDON ME? I would think prior to going off the deep end, this type of thing should be determined first, wouldn't you?
I wrote a note back in S's agenda indicating that I didn't think S understood the joke, given his lack of knowledge of such subjects, and I didn't appreciate the 'bunch of bologna' comment. S told me on Friday that the EA did read my note, but she did not to respond to me.
I sent an email to the doctor asking if it really was possible that S did understand the joke and was trying to pull the wool over my eyes. His answer is very hard to interpret, but from what I can get from it is that it is very possible that S was simply repeating the joke to all of his friends because they laughed. He would not have been able to read their faces/reactions to determine that it was off-colour or offensive.
It is a very sexually-innuendo type of joke, and in my gut, I really don't think he understands it. The A-man does for sure, but unless the A-man actually took the time to explain it to S, I really don't think he got it. Well, until the EA took it upon herself to actually explain it to him.
Again, is sex ed within the scope of an EA?
Only a few more weeks left of school. This has been a much better year for S, no doubt about it. I just hope that next year he is given an EA that has knowledge and experience with the multitude of issues that come with my wee little man.

On to another subject for a second. For regular readers of my blog, you will remember that I have been helping a lady that is trying to obtain special educational needs for her daughter. The school board finally agreed to provide a psycho-ed assessment for her daughter, but it did take a LOT to get to this point. Last week I got a phone call from the Mom telling me that she was going to get the full results on Monday (today), but she got a phone call from the board psychologist - the person that actually read the results - and it turns out that her daughter is developmentally delayed. Apparently her daughter has an IQ around either 60 or 70, I can't remember which. Either way, she is severely delayed, and I find it terrible that a child can get to the age of 13 and be almost finished Grade 7 before this type of thing is learned. An entire elementary school career, full of 'professional educators' have failed this child, in my opinion.
I realize this woman is a rude and overbearing parent. I realize she is harbouring a lot of resentment towards many of the teachers within that school - probably as much as the teachers resent this mother! But that does not excuse the fact that this girl can have such a severe delay and NO ONE caught it! Her report cards have always been B's and C's - with some A's in there. How can a child with an IQ of 60 or 70 be working "at grade level" (as a B mark is supposed to indicate) since she was 4 years old? I think accountability should be demanded in this case, but I am not going to be the person to let her know that.
I guess her daughter is going to get the IPRC she has been wanting... but how sad that this is the result of the fight.

Reflecting
When I arrived home yesterday afternoon, the boys were outside - in the very deep snow - playing baseball. After that they got in to a rousing game of football, which was interesting considering the amount of snow they were trying to run through. I know Spring must be close when I see my children actually going outside - on their own accord - to play. The temps were just above freezing, but yesterday had been so sunny, it almost seemed tropical. (Notice that I said "almost")
Not sure what is going to happen today at work - Boss gave assistant a bit of an ultimatium. I may be looking for another assistant before too long. (sigh)
I went to an information session for the ADHD association last night. What a great session! We had a number of new faces at the meeting, and you could just tell that they were brand new to the whole "Special Education" world. Boy, do I ever remember being in their shoes!
You have SO many questions, and you hear all these acronyms and terms, and you have NO idea what any of it means... it can be daunting for even the most willful of people.
The part that I find most effective in these sessions is the second hour - the hour that is 'open forum' where people get to just discuss what is important to them.
Some people rant - gosh it's nice to be with others that really, truly understand.
Others want advice - my son is lying all of time...how can I get him to stop?" (So typical of the ADHD child...)
And others are just there to help share their years' of experience with the ADHD child. They have 'children' that are in their late teens - these are the true battle veterans that have "been there, done that."
Although the organization may not be very large, it DOES help people understand this often confusing disorder known as ADHD. I just wish we could reach more people! We have a very good board, and we are doing our darndest to get our information out there, but I have found the stigma associated with ADHD is not always the best. Gotta love the media.
Mind you, with jerks like "The Tourette Guy" on the internet, that disorder doesn't get very positive attention, either. Come to think of it, most of the disorders that affect either one, or both of my children, have some pretty negative stereo-types attached to them... Gee, no wonder I felt like a failure as a parent for so many years. At least now I know that I dealt with the cards I was dealt in the best way I could, and now, my kids are pretty darn awesome! :o)

Results day
Today is the day we get the results of S's fMRI. I know we won't have any miraculous breakthroughs or anything like that, however, I am hoping we will be able to get a copy of the DVD to watch. Again, we won't really know what we are watching, but I still think it will be very fascinating!
I am also very interested to find out what types of therapies the doctor is going to recommend, and which - if any - mental health issues they should address. I'm sure it will be a very long, yet informative appointment.
Yesterday's "ice day" was pretty ironic - it was 8 (above freezing) for most of the day, and all of the snow/ice on the driveway melted, and a lot of the snow off the deck melted. Crazy to think they called the buses off the road for such a nice day! The R-man informed me this morning, though, that they are calling for a winter storm tonight. Nice. March - lion to lamb...I guess we have to see the lion part to appreciate the lamb, right?
Speaking of lamb, I am going to be heading down to Cuz's house this weekend to go to the Canada Bloom's Show. She doesn't live real close to where the show is held, but at least she is closer than I. Now, that said, I have made a big boo-boo, and done a wee bit of double-booking myself this weekend. But, I think a workable plan has been hatched, and we will STILL get to spend some quality time together - which we have not been able to do as much as we like to do normally.
Cuz, I won't be able to arrive until close to supper time on Saturday evening - Hubby is working Friday night, and I have an appointment/date with Jazzy's mom earlier on Saturday, so I thought I would be able to make it for drinks on Saturday, then we could head to the show on Sunday. Would that work?? I won't rush away after the show, but I think that is going to be the most workable option right now.
The A-man just read my last sentence over my shoulder and said, "Ugh...you are leaving again?? Every weekend you leave us...you hate us don't you?" He knows that is not true, but he sure does know how to pull on those heart strings...
Speaking of the A-man...toes are still looking icky, but I think we have been able to drain most of the infection. I am going to monitor things, and continue to pick at things, for a couple of days, and if I don't think I am going to be able to be successful with the hang nail, I will be making a doctor's appointment.
Hubby and I have made an appointment with a nutritionist for March 17. We have been planning on going to see her for quite a while, but the past few months have been just far to chaotic to even consider doing major dietary changes, too. It is time.

An interesting concept
While I was at the conference in Jackson, I went to a seminar on "Face Reading." It's a very interesting concept, and one that I had never heard of before. Basically, she prefaced her seminar with "we are born with the face we have, but at 50, we have the face we have earned."
At first I was quite skeptical, and thinking it was quite hokey, but after she explained the concept, I was intrigued. The lady ended up "reading" the faces of 5 strangers, and when I saw the reactions of these people, I believed that what she was saying could just be true.
After the seminar, I went to ask her about the book she was selling. I asked what the price of the book was ($17.95) and she answered that, then read my face. I was shocked! She told me that the little lines on the bridge of my nose - she commented on the number of them - told her that I have a "disgustingly so" need to be a 'can do' person, and she told me that my small chin tells her that I am very hard on myself, and don't take critisism well, since "you already know everything that is wrong with you..."
I bought the book, and was using it to 'read' hubby's face. It takes a while to determine which 'shapes' match up to the person, but I can see how you could get used to it after a while. Anyway, hubby said that it seemed to be true. Of course, I know hubby's face quite well, and I know Hubby quite well, but when I read the section on the lines around his eyes, I said "No, that doesn't really describe you," and he surprised me with "Yes, it does - I just keep some things inside..."
Okay, enough for my book review and new topic of interest...
I contacted S's doctor yesterday, and we are going to go in for an appointment on March 4 to get the results of the fMRI. The doctor has requested the classroom teachers complete some information sheets prior to that appointment, too. It's only a week and a half away, but I wanted answers sooner than that - especially considering the 'silly' actions of S lately.
The A-man was VERY grouchy this morning, but I think he is getting over it now. Hubby has him helping with a dump run, and he was cranky that he has to 'work' on a weekend. Yeah, welcome to real life, buddy...
Okay, I am off to clean the house. Now that my busy time at work it done, hopefully I will be able to get the house back in to a state I can live with!

fMRI
I have been very remiss in keeping this blog updated over the past few days. I guess the main reason is because things have been INSANE at work, and also because the day-to-day life with the boys hasn’t quite got in to full swing yet, since they aren’t back to school until Monday. That, however, doesn’t mean there haven’t been all kinds of things going on!
Wednesday was “back to work” day for Hubby and I. That afternoon, S had a doctor’s appointment with his specialist. I was surprised that it was so late in the day – 4:45 pm – but it actually worked out better for me, so I wasn’t complaining. The appointment was about a full hour, and it was in anticipation of the upcoming fMRI that will be happening at the end of the month. I was very happy to have this meeting, as I really didn’t have much information about what this test was, or what it was hoping to achieve. Now I know.
An fMRI is a functional MRI. As you know, an MRI is basically a ‘brain scan’ that lets the doctors look at the brain. This test is actually going to monitor how S’s brain ‘fires’ its signals. Although S won’t be able to speak or move for the hour he is being scanned, the doctors will talk to him, flash various pictures, etc., across a screen on his eyes, and ask him to think about certain things. As he thinks about what they ask, they will be able to see how his brain sends the signals. How cool is that?
After they have this base-line ‘test’, the doctors will then create a specialized therapy to assist with any deficits (or mis-firings) they may find. Of course, the doctor wasn’t able to say what type of therapies they may use, because they don’t currently know where his signals are lacking, but it could be a chemical imbalance that could benefit with medication, or they may find that treating with this therapy and that therapy could assist his thought patterns, that sort of thing. Then, after about 6 months or so of following a treatment plan, S will under go another test, to see if the various therapies have been beneficial to him.
This is all very new. S’s doctor, and the doctor’s at the University hospital are going to be doing this with about 50 or 60 patients, only. S’s results will be compared to those of average twelve year olds, so this will also let us know what are typical actions/reactions/behaviour of a child this age, and what is a direct result of his brain’s ‘hard wiring.’ They are then going to see if various therapies will assist with certain deficiets, etc.
Yeah, S is going to be a bit of guinea pig, with respect to this testing, but Hubby and I figure that if we have a better understanding of how S’s brain fires, we can only benefit, right? If the therapies, etc., work, all the better. If not, no harm done. There are no chemical injections, or radiation, etc. It is a very harmless test, and it will actually help us, and the specialist, have a stronger foothold when we approach things. Right now we are only going on ‘theories’ – after this test, we will be going on an actual brain scan.
I, personally, am glad we are on the entry level of this new testing. I am looking forward to learning more about this. Google it – it’s quite fascinating!
