New Years resolution. Epsom Salts as recommended by Rosemary Waring at Uni of Birmingham. I can't add them to the bath as ds1 drinks the bathwater, but I have heard that you can get pharmacists to make up a special cream. Has anyone done this and know what its called? I have a feeling I'm going to be entering blank look territory when I go to the chemists.

Jimjams, totally agree its all about the ABA cliche "best outcomes", it isn't about recovery although there's always a glimmer isn't there? But just imagine life without our carefully monitored and thought-out interventions? Even if much of it is to do with our feelings about ourselves and how we relate to our kids....

Yes- and reaching potential. I think the hope of a miraculous "recovery" has kept me going over the last 2 years. It's only now that I'm beginning to think/believe that actually anything remotely like a normal life isn't going to be a possibility for him Still not quite ready to accept that though, so interventions do give hope each day (and are of practical use as for him life without gluten is considerably more pleasant than life with gluten).

BTW by recovery I mean being able to live independently. I got enough of the lifelong stuff at the beginning to know that he's always going to be autistic. I would just like him to be able to interact a bit more with the NT world.
