Hi schweppes and Snow Crystal,


Thanks for the encouragement and consolation. I'm fine, the worse has been more or less been over for me and I'm trying to gather my strength and pick myself up slowly. No choice, continue to live in sorrow and misery won't do any good for my girl especially time is running out.

Please don't think that!! Never ever!! It's never too late. I always believe that there is a right time and place for everything.

Yes, there is a sense of urgency to help the child, but everything in good time. The body also needs time to heal and integrate. And because every child is different, it may take different types of therapies at various stages of the child's life to get him integrated. Also, what might not work now may work later, or vice versa.

Meantime I'm helping her in whatever intervention I can do for her while waiting for her to get assess.

This is a good move.

For parents who are waiting a l-o-n-g time for OT or SLT can actually consider doing the following as an alternative activity.


SLT => send for speech and drama classes

OT => music (piano), ballet, gym classes, playground activities (this is the best since it is free and at your own time)

I’m not saying that the above activities should replace the formal therapies, but it’s a temporary stop-gap measure in the meantime. More fun too… especially if your child enjoys those activities.

I have also try TCM accupressure. Also difficult to keep up. It doesn't really help to improve his behavior but it helps in improving his sleep.

Actually, I find that this is already a good start. Sleep is the time when the body heals and integrates itself. And when the child is better rested, he is able to behave and function better the next day as well. Think we all know that a child (or adult) that does not have sufficient sleep and rest is grouchy, grumpy and edgy.

So, it's good that u observed that TMC accupressure has helped fine-tune your child's sleeping behavior. I've also heard that some kids benefitted from sound therapy in helping them sleep better.

Hi schsweppes,


I agreed that the B2B lady is very helpful. She was the first person who answered my thread which i posted it somewhere else. She shared a lot with me in her email.

I’m skeptical on analyzing the tests ourselves. Are u referring to the hair, stool, urine and blood (IgG) test? Given that we are not equipped with any medical knowledge and proper equipments, how are we suppose to interpret and analyze the test results ourselves?

Actually i wanted to try chelation (i’m more towards AC chelation rather than DAN chelation) and i understand that is the last stage of the DAN protocol. My girl started to regress after her MMR, hence i believe that its the combination of vaccinations which led to her present conditions. As much as i wanted to give homeopathy a try as it is a safer and natural approach as compared to biomed unfortunately there’s no homeopathy docs specializing in autism in Singapore.

Hi specialboymum,


Same here, i’m trying to keep open mind towards other alternative treatments so long that they do not pose any harm to my girl. Yes, agree, these alternatives treatments are all very expensive and the normal therapies are already killing us financially.
