We recently had our appointment with a developmental pediatrician to find out what is going on with Nicholas. He confirmed our thoughts, that Nicholas has autism. This doctor was an absolute bastard to us and to Nicholas and this appointment, by far, was the worst experience of my life. He was very quick to whip […]

Nicholas’s 1st Hair Test
June 17th, 2007 Mom Lately, I have been doing tons of reading and research. I recently came across an internet chat group where kids were recovering! RECOVERING? Their theory was that kids with autism were toxic and that chelating them would reverse the autism. The first step in finding this out would be to have a hair test run […]
The Beginning of our Biomed Journey
June 1st, 2007 Mom After doing a lot of reading and research, I decided to give Nicholas some omega 369 fish oil just to see what would happen. Within a week, we started hearing his babbling coming back and heard words forming. I stopped the fish oil to see what would happen and the babbling ceased. Upon restarting it, […]
Early Intervention and Private Speech Evaluations
April 15th, 2007 Mom We had Nicholas evaluated by a private (and insanely expensive) speech therapist. I did not have a good feeling about her – so I called EI for an evaluation. I asked her flat out if she thought Nicholas had autism and she told me NO. Her written letter thanking the pediatrician for the referral clearly […]
Nicholas 2-3 years
November 13th, 2006 Mom Nicholas’s 2nd birthday party was a disaster. Sensory overload for him. Too many people in the house, too much noise – he spent the day in his room, by himself. We tried to sing Happy Birthday, but that ended up with him tantruming all over the floor. Between 2 and 2 1/2, this was the […]
Nicholas 1-2 years
October 15th, 2006 Mom From 1-2 years of age is where I rerally started to worry. Nicholas was never into books, bedtime stories, etc. He was still not pointing or really waving. He did not care if anyone left the house, the room, the planet for that matter – I thought I was getting away with not seeing any […]
Nicholas 6-12 months
October 13th, 2005 Mom At 6 months, we started introducing baby foods in addition to his formula. He loved all kinds of foods; applesauce, rice cereal, peas, barley cereal and peaches. He was drinking from and holding a sippy cup at 6 months. He started pushing up at 7 months. Said “dada” for the first time at 7 months. […]
Nicholas 3 – 6 Months
January 10th, 2005 Mom Nicholas had a pediatrician’s appointment today. His pediatrician reassured me that him crying for 24 hours was not a reaction to his vaccines given last November. I was too naive to know any better. He got the Pediarix shot today. One shot, FIVE vaccines: Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B and Polio From 3-6 Months, Nicholas […]
Nicholas 0-3 Months
January 9th, 2005 Mom Nicholas was a really good, really easy baby right from the start. He was alert, happy and was remarkably able to hold his head up. He slept well, he loved looking at us. Only thing he didn’t like so much was bathtime. At 2 1/2 weeks, we needed to change his formula from Similac to […]
