The Beautiful Side of my Child with Autism.
I love his smile- his cheesy grin, and his laughs...even though sometimes they are markers for trouble inside his body- and out- usually when he is dumping something.
I love his free spirit- his willing to fling in the swing, and listen to the music the girls play on YouTube.
He loves Runner Bit Trip....and watching garage doors go up and down on YouTube.
Isaac has challenges- he has fought many battles. Sometimes I am thankful that he doesn't realize where he is at and where he could be.
I am his mommy- and that's my job.

Fundraiser for some additions to Isaac's ABA Home Program
This past week- I flew with a friend to an annual conference put on by Terri Aranga.
I was overwhelmed with the information- but quickly I put all my emotions aside and got to work. I was there for a purpose- to help other military families who have a child with Autism. It's not a paid job- but a volunteer position- one I gladly accept.
Its difficult to put into words the expressions of parents as they listened to doctors lecture about the latest developments in treatments for kids with and ASD diagnosis. Some cried, some were angry- they were all experiencing some form of grief. Some were past that part and wanted to know what they could do for their kid.
One thing new this year from others was the sessions that focused on Down Syndrome and treatment...... why would Down Syndrome information be shared at an Autism Conference?
Quickly I learned that Down Syndrome treatment options are very similar to Autism treatments- bio-medically speaking. These kids deal with the same nutritional deficiencies that ASD kids deal with. Supplements have helped many kids with Down Syndrome. For example- many Down Syndrome kids as well as Autistic kids have problems with their thyroid. Many mainstream doctors view the range of the testing to be accurate when it is not. For this- many kids go untreated- when they should be treated, and not with prescription Thyroid medication but with natural thyroid medication.
I was there to share some stories to our military community. I found some things to share, and on the last day- I made my rounds at the table displays to see what information I could gather to share and to read for Isaac's therapies.
We home-school, and Isaac's ABA takes up most of his day. Right now he is at a point where something needs to happen in order to spark his interest. I know he is bored. He flies thru his ABA program. He needs more of a challenge.
I don't know if he can read? I don't know if he can do math? Since he is nonverbal- he can not tell me these things, so it's a guessing game at this point.
I found two new activities to include in his ABA program, possible a third as well- but its up in the air right now.
The first one is a Drum. I floated into the exhibit hall, and heard this ethereal music calm me. I really liked it- but wasn't able to get to the table to speak to the man in charge until the last day. He was very nice indeed- telling me all about the drums. He uses recycled propane tanks and welds them. He also paints them upon request. I am excited- because this drum will help Isaac in his ABA as a music therapy. He will be able to play songs, and learn musical notes- which brings him endless opportunities to learn.
Here is the link: http://customtankdrum.com/index.html
Another great opportunity for Isaac is Exercise. I know from reading up about Brain Balance- that exercise is very important for kids that have Autism. I found a table that was at the conference that got me excited about it! They have a PECS program for kids- which I think is most helpful for my son- because he is nonverbal.
The website to view more is here at this link: http://ecautism.com/
So these are two very good interventions for Isaac that we are adding to his ABA program at home- and I am asking family and friends to donate to a Paypal account for him.
The Steel Drum price is 175 plus 25 dollars for shipping.
The Exercise program is quite pricey! I just looked at the price, and its not something I can afford!
The Autism Fitness Handbook One is only 15 dollars. I can get that one.

If anyone would like to donate please let me know.

God make me a Warrior Mama.
I saw this several months ago, and it really touched my heart.
It gives me clear understanding of What CHRIST did for me on the cross.
Perhaps I am being sentimental today, but I know God has a reason for everything- even this plague (yes I call it a plague)
called autism- because it is so debilitating to my son.
It is not a gift, but a trial.
I can say that God is with me, God is with my son.
Lord help me to be an Autism Warrior Mama, that can help Isaac get to where he needs to be.

Claiming my Namesake
I have not blogged for a while- many behind the scenes events have happened.
Isaac lost his first tooth this morning.
He learned to wave- and does it when we ask.
He is doing much better with eye contact, and talking to us in sign language.
Mike started his new job in DC and right now he works the night shift.
Isaac has ran away from the house several times this past week...
I am going to autism one next week, and this is the first.
I hope to learn more about how I can help Isaac- but also so that I can learn how to advocate more efficiently and how I can make an impact where I live - near DC.
I am a mom- a wife, and an autism recovery advocate.
If you are just a mom who wants to live a complacent life with your child- and not getting him any help- Don't come talk to me- because I do NOT want to have any part in a stagnant recovery process....
I apologize if there are some out there reading this right now- that are in that place of complacency with their child.
I mean no disrespect for your mode of life- but I do not want to be a part of anything that is mediocre (IMO) when it comes to recovery from Autism.
Today's Autism - is not the past Autism (or is it)
and so I call it Vaccine Injury- because that is what it is...
Isaac's gut is a mess- how do I know this? ( and I am not a Dr.)
he has chronic bouts of constipation and diarrhea - going way back to when he was a baby at 2 months of age-- after his vaccination- he was constipated so bad- that the x ray showed he had a blockage....
this is NOT normal. Miralax does not solve the problem.
So we are working to get his GUT health better- so that he can grow.
Do you have a child that just doesn't seem to grow? Chances are more than likely he or she can not absorb nutrients from food, because their gut is damaged!
Isaac had a scope done (colonoscopy, and endoscopy) and it showed that he has lymphocytic colitis, and lymphoid hyperplasia.
So getting back to my name sake-- my mom named me after TARA- the plantation in Gone with the Wind.
I really didn't like my name when I was a kid.
When I learned that I was named after a house.. I was like "What?"
Now however, I am fine with it- it actually helps me to realize that I am here to stay- in this fight for my son to regain some cognition- to be able to talk.
Gone are the Dr's that tell me there is not anything to be done for my son. (that would be military dr's)
Gone are the people that discourage any kind of care for my son
They are gone with the wind- and I am still here- caring for my son.
I am not going anywhere, and I will not be moved to quit.
I am doing all I can to help my son get better from vaccine injury.

It will be a spiritual journey. It will be a medical journey.
Gone are the Dr's that tell me there is not anything to be done for my son. (that would be military dr's)

Recovery for our kids with Autism: Getting out of our comfort zone
I recently chatted online with several moms who balked at the thought of their kids actually recovering from Autism. After all- they have listened to and heeded everything their mainstream military doctors have told them.
No doubt that Dr's like Dr. Shropshire at Belvoir have said that "Diet doesn't work"
or that "Vaccines have nothing to do with Autism. "
No doubt they have freaked at me when I asked for a continuation of transdermal DMSA when switching from Standard back to prime, to try to save money.
They reminded me that chelation was extremely dangerous, even though that while on standard Tricare paid for the prescription.
No doubt Dr.'s like Dr. Jude retorted to them that "Chronic Constipation is normal for kids with Autism"
No more Mrs. Nice Autism Mom- I am fighting back.
I am going to tell everyone what horrible doctors are in the North region at Military treatment facilities. Theirr care for our kids is deplorable.
I told a neurologist- Dr. Dennison, that my son was vaccine injured, he didn't believe me.
I made him feel uncomfortable. He was not willing to look further into helping my son- he did not care.
Parents need to know what and who they are dealing with when it comes to Dr's that treat Autism- and the things that make them Autistic.
You know there are root causes right? Reasons our kids bang their heads... reasons they can not poop, reasons that they have constant diarrhea.
There is no reason why our kids should remain in a state of pain. They need help. It's up to you as a parent to get out of your comfort zone, reach out- ask questions, and visit Dr's that want to help.
More to come from me you can be sure of that!

Update on Isaac's Recovery Progress
Isaac is doing well. Occasionally he will verbalize- which is much better than him being quiet- I want him to speak.
Isaac has picked up sign language very fast. It has been years that we have been working with him with signs, and signing time, but he never picked it up. Now after many years- he finally gets it! - he is signing for communication.
Right now he can say this in sign: " I want papers please"
He can say "I want _____ please"
Sometimes he fills in that blank with papers, sometimes eat, sometimes pointing to other things, but he is communicating, and he is getting frustrated because he can not communicate effectively (fast enough) for us to be able to get him what he wants.
We started Isaac on GABA about a month ago- consistently every morning in his shake. Then we added .
he is doing well...s o far here are his supplements that he takes:
Can - Albex 30x- for candida eradication
In his shake in the morning
Cal/Mag/Zinc from Trace Minerals
Phosphatidylserine
GABA
No-Phenol
L-Methylfolate
L-Theanine
Special Digestive Enzymes from Holistic Health
Amino Assist
BeCalm
b-12 MC Spray
Also we are putting 1/2 tsp Zija Smart Mix in his shake.
He is doing well....but there is no real Magic Bullet"
Although he did say "Good" the other day in ABA- it was from hearing someone else say it
but just hearing his voice- gave me goosebumps!
We have also started using essential oils with him, and I now sell Young Living Oils- here is my website if anyone is interested in joining me, or buying from me- the oils have many health benefits- and if it doesn't work for you- there aren't any side effects other than a headache until the oils evaporate.
I hope that Isaac can detox with the oils, at a slow pace. I still plan on using chelation again!
But for now we like what we see, and we know that sticking with it and being consistent is key!
