ADD/ADHD/ Behavior Problems Food - Any Good Recommendations For Website/books On Helpful Diets?My son is 4 yrs old and has always been rambunctious. Lately, he has been acting out - hitting, spitting, not listening, just generally being mean to people and rude. I know much of this could be a phase and testing his limits but I have seen a correlation between his behavior and certain foods. 1 example - as a treat he was given an Icee almost immediately following this treat his behavior went south - jumping around as if he couldn't control his body, not listening, etc. Does anyone have any good recommendations for recipes and lists of foods that are not processed and are dye free? Or a list of the dyes and other 'bad' stuff to clear free of in food? We are doing what we can discipline wise so now we want to find other natural ways to help him focus! [ Read More ]

Question About ADD/ ADHD?Is there a test that can detect ADD or ADHD? Or do doctors simply diagnose by behavior? Also, can anyone refer me to a website or book that explains red and other artificial dyes that affect behavior in children? My daughter sometimes is uncontrollable and I am against the meds they prescribe for ADD and Adhd due to the fact that I have had a drug problem before (4 years sober now). I know that Aderall is an amphetamine and I really have a problem with that and would like to try adjusting her Diet first. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks add: she has been tested with an IQ of around 140, so she is very smart, in the talented and gifted program at school and does very well in school as far as work goes. The problem, more or less, is her behavior if she is NOT doing some kind of school-related work. She just has a very short attention span and has trouble following directions, etc. I still have to keep a hawk's eye on her constantly. For example: I have to remind her every time we get out of the car not to walk into the road. It's like she doesn't remember that cars are around or maybe she is just in lala land. I dont know, but at times I have a very hard time dealing with this and dont know what to do. Like I said before, I am against the meds and would like some other avenue to try and help her. She is so smart and creative and I try to keep her busy. I just dont know what to do sometimes. [ Read More ]

Why/How Do Adhd Medications Help W/ Depression, Yet Antidepressants Do Not?I have been diagnosed w/ depression have been on various medications for the past 10yrs trying to feel better. I tried exercise, diet, psychiatric counseling, you name it. I had (have) symptoms of irritability, insomnia intertwined w/ hypersomnia, and poor concentration. When I was having trouble in school I asked my psychiatrist (psychologist?) for an ADD med he prescribed Adderall, an amphetamine. While on this med I felt better, enough that the Dr agreed it was safe to go off of my antidepressants. Now that school is out I stopped taking the Adderall everyday have noticed my depression-like symptoms coming back. I am no longer on antidepressants and have no interest in using them again b/c I do not feel they work. How is it amphetamines help w/ my depression??? If it is depression, why do antidepressants (+ all the other interventions I have done), not work? With the amphetamine I get more done b/c I can focus, instead of running from room to room for three hrs not get a book put away. I really do not feel that it gives me energy, just helps me focus. I sleep better and am less moody. I am afraid of addiction to it though. I cannot seem to wrap my brain around why I feel better w/ it if my problem is depression? Any insite greatly appreciated.

Need IQ Stats, (age, Education, Region, Incarceration, Religion, Salary, Etc)?I'm looking for data on IQ in regards to: age, education, region, incarceration, religion, salary, computer usage, demographics, rural vs city, public vs private schools, educational attainment, marriage, divorce, children, employment, ADHD, ADD, ethnicity, sleep patterns, drug usage, diet, television habits, movie and book preferences, etc, you get the idea. I basically want as much data as I can get my hands on. Anything IQ related is worth posting, especially if it is something of note. Important note: I'm having difficulty finding unbiased and unpolitical information of this sort on the net. There seems to be an awful lot of dubious election/IQ stats out there in an effort to attack the other side. Thanks I'm looking for studies...charts, graphs, raw data etc. [ Read More ]

AUTISM Isolated in worlds of their own, people with autism appear indifferent and remote and are unable to form emotional bonds with others. Although people with this baffling brain disorder can display a wide range of symptoms and disability, many are incapable of understanding other people's thoughts, feelings, and needs. Often, language and intelligence fail to develop fully, making communication and social relationships difficult. Many people with autism engage in repetitive activities, like rocking or banging their heads, or rigidly following familiar patterns in their everyday routines. Some are painfully sensitive to sound, touch, sight, or smell. Children with autism do not follow the typical patterns of child development. In some children, hints of future problems may be apparent from birth. In most cases, the problems become more noticeable as the child slips farther behind other children the same age. Other children start off well enough. But between 18 and 36 months old, they suddenly reject people, act strangely, and lose language and social skills they had already acquired. As a parent, teacher, or caregiver you may know the frustration of trying to communicate and connect with children or adults who have autism. You may feel ignored as they engage in endlessly repetitive behaviors. You may despair at the bizarre ways they express their inner needs. And you may feel sorrow that your hopes and dreams for them may never materialize. But there is help-and hope. Gone are the days when people with autism were isolated, typically sent away to institutions. Today, many youngsters can be helped to attend school with other children. Methods are available to help improve their social, language, and academic skills. Autism is found in every country and region of the world, and in families of all racial, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. Emerging in childhood, it affects about 3 or 4 people in every thousand and is three to four times more common in boys than girls. Girls with the disorder, however, tend to have more severe symptoms and lower intelligence. THE TOLE is dedicated to understanding the workings and inter-relationships of the various regions of the brain, and to developing preventive measures and new treatments for disorders like autism that handicap people in school, work, and social relationships and brain damage or vegetable. Up-to-date information on autism and treatment result for autistic is the role of THE TOLE in identifying underlying causes and effective treatments are available in our Autism Herbs Treatment Cure- The Tole Main Page.: Also described are symptoms and diagnostic procedures, treatment options, strategies for coping, and sources of information and support.

Some autistic kids is now living a normal life some with extra ordinary IQ and special talent, all these parents did not expect their kids tope as normal as they are now, they were trying to improve them in their daily living, so now all are very happy!!!!!. What is ADHD? Adhd often prevents children from learning and socializing well. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD) refer to a range of problem behaviors associated with poor attention span. These may include impulsiveness, restlessness and hyperactivity, as well as inattentiveness, and often prevent children from learning and socializing well. Adhd is sometimes referred to as hyper kinetic disorder. What are the symptoms of ADHD Attention difficulties A child must have exhibited at least six of the following symptoms for at least six months to an extent that is unusual for their age and level of intelligence. Fails to pay close attention to detail or makes careless errors during work or play. Fails to finish tasks or sustain attention in play activities. Seems not to listen to what is said to him or her. Fails to follow through instructions or to finish homework or chores (not because of confrontational behavior or failure to understand instructions). Disorganized about tasks and activities. Avoids tasks like homework that require sustained mental effort. Loses things necessary for certain tasks or activities, such as pencils, Books or toys. Easily distracted. Forgetful in the course of daily activities. Hyperactivity A child must have exhibited at least three of the following symptoms for at least six months to an extent that is unusual for their age and level of intelligence.

Pervasiveness of attention difficulties and hyperactivity For a diagnosis or description of Adhd a child would be expected to show the above difficulties in more than one setting, e.g. at school and at home. Problems are not shown 'at home' but are very evident when a child goes to a hospital department. This can happen when parents do not realize that their child's behavior is out of the normal range (perhaps because they have no other children, or they have other children who behave similarly). It may also be because the problems are mild, or because the family has handled the attention lack at home in such a way that it is not evident there is a major problem, or because the child is very young. In those cases it is quite reasonable for parents not to consider that their child has an attention deficit problem. These conditions has a good chance to be treated, it will take time and effort to do it. The Tole's way of remedies for them is not easy and tedious, the good part is it works with many of them. Some adults that just have AD should be able to recovers too with our Remedies. The Tole's Brain Powder Autism Adhd Treatment for all special kids Treatment.

Epilepsy can also cause unusual behavior and lead to abnormal perceptions. Hearing problems such as deafness or glue ear can make it hard for a child to follow instructions and make them appear inattentive. Reading problems, making it hard to complete tasks or follow instructions. Obsessive compulsive disorder leads to people following strange rituals that preoccupy their thoughts and distract their attention. Tourette's syndrome involves repetitive, involuntary jerking movements of the body and sudden outbursts of noise or swearing. Autism and Asperger's syndrome often lead to difficulties in understanding and using language. Prolonged periods of insufficient sleep, causing poor concentration. Some children may be very active or be easily distracted or have difficulty concentrating. If these behaviours are relatively mild, they should not be considered a disorder. Others difficulties that occurs alongside Autism ADHD ADHD often occurs alongside other difficulties and is not the sole cause of problem behavior. Children may exhibit temper tantrums, sleep disorders, and be clumsy. Other behavioral problems that occur with Adhd include: confrontational defiant behavior, which occurs in most of these kids. The child loses their temper, argues and refuses to comply with adults and deliberately annoys others. conduct disorders occur in at least 25 per cent of children. The child may be destructive or show deceitful behavior such as lying, breaking rules and stealing. specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia, occur in 25-30 per cent of children. severe clinical depression occurs in about 30 per cent of children. anxiety disorders occur in 30 per cent of children. What causes ADHD? Biological Temperamental, as this contributes to their attitude and personality. Twins suggest a genetic link to ADHD. In 80-90 per cent of identical twins where one has Adhd so does the other. Recent research also suggests there is a greater chance of inheriting the condition from male relatives such as grandfathers and uncles. Brain injuries due to birth trauma or pre-birth problems. The brain structures believed to be linked to the development of Adhd are vulnerable to hypoxic damage during birth. The damage is caused by inadequate oxygen (QI flow) reaching parts of the brain while blood flow is reduced. Environmental conditions: Family stress. Educational difficulties. ADHD diagnosis Observations to the assessment of a child with possible ADHD. There is no single diagnostic test for Adhd so different sorts of information needs to be gathered, such as the following: History of symptoms The precise nature of the difficulties, when they were first noticed, in what situations they occur, factors that exacerbate or relieve them. Medical history Risk factors that could predispose the child to Adhd include difficulties and risks in pregnancy and during birth, for example if the mother was in poor health, very young or drank alcohol or smoked or had an extended or complicated labor. Several medical conditions are known to be associated with ADHD. These include fragile-X syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, G6PD deficiency, phenylketonuria and generalized resistance to thyroid hormone. Accidents, operations and chronic medical conditions such as epilepsy, asthma and heart, liver and kidney disorders all need to be taken in to account. Also of possible relevance is any medication the child is taking, as well as any adverse reactions they have had to medication in the past. Past psychiatric history: Enquiring about any mental health problems the child has had can help rule out depression or anxiety being behind the symptoms. Educational history: This means the level of their ability and what specific difficulties they have, how they function within their peer group and get on with teachers, and any behavior difficulties such as suspensions or exclusions. Family history: The mental and physical health of the child's parents and other family members can be relevant, particularly regarding the incidence of Adhd or depression. Less then 1% ahs the family history but this is one of the research data base. Social assessment: The family's social circumstances, such as housing, poverty, and social support may all have an impact on the child's behavior. Less then 4 % has this problem but it should be taken into consideration. What treatment is available for ADHD?

How Do I Deal With My Son's Malnutrition Due To Autism?Hi, First off thank you so much for taking the time to read this because I know it’s long. The whole family appreciates all your feedback. I am posting today because I need advice and ideas from parents who have or are experiencing the dilemma my husband and I face. We have a 3.8 yr old boy named Justin who was diagnosed with PDD NOS, Sensory integration dysfunction and Adhd this past summer. He is a great kid and one of the happiest ones you’ll ever meet. He always puts a smile on our face. We knew at the age of 18 months that Justin was atypical. He wouldn't make eye contact, wouldn’t notice others in the room with him, chewed objects constantly but refused regular food, spoke mostly gibberish and used a lot of stims (flapping, spinning in circles, banging his head and body into things). We battled and are still battling one of the biggest wars in our lives and that war is trying to get our son into the world we live in. Justin is now 3.8 yrs old and only eats either completely pureed or completely solid foods. I wish I could say that he eats pureed or solid fruits and veggies but if I did I would be lying. Justin can tolerate about 10 things which we apply to his Diet but mainly he’ll eat 7 spoonfuls of infant cereal for breakfast. He'll have 6 slices of crispy bacon or 3 slices of fried hard salami for lunch. Finally for dinner Justin will have 2oz of cooked rice with pureed beans both given separately and he must always eat in front of the T.V. to distract him. If he realizes he is eating, even if its food he enjoys that’s part of his daily routine, he will spit it out or cry until he throws up. I am very thankful for Pediasure which fills in the many, many gaps in his diet. The downside is that he will only drink the Pediasure from a bottle but I have no other choice at this point. Even with Pediasure being his main source of food Justin weighs 26lbs at almost 4yrs old. He started receiving Pt, Ot, feeding therapy, play therapy, speech therapy and special instruction at 18 months as soon as we had a confirmation of his delays. His early intervention terminated at age 3 but the Board of Education in the State of New York has a program called CPSE. That’s when we finally got an official diagnoses and we have a little more closure even though honestly this is just the beginning of a long journey. My son goes to school now and has made incredible progress in all the fields that were significantly delayed. With much work Justin now has an approximate 250+ word vocabulary, makes better eye contact, still uses stims but not as often but still will not eat. I have tried everything. Well not everything and this is why I am posting. I've seen numerous doctors. I've read some books. I am so desperate. I need parents to tell me how they coped or cope with this problem. My son is beginning to be dangerously underweight and I am petrified. His pediatrician doesn’t seem to put as much thought into it as I do which is why I am in search of a new one. Please help!!!

How Do I Convince A Doctor I Have ADD?I want to pretend I have ADDfor the simpole fact that I want to get a prescription for Adderall. My sister has ADD/ADHD and I believe that I have a concentration problem, I really do, I can never concentrate, it's not being lazy or bored- I always try. I NEED to concentrate, I sometimes zone out when people talk to me, can't read Books because I zone out and I can't follow intructions - I have to keep repeating to myself to concentrate,so that I get one little piece of information. Maybe I have it, I don't know, I don't care if I don't....but I NEED something to help me concentrate. My Diet is not a problem, I've been making sure I have everything I need. This isn't a case of not being able to concentrate once in a while, it's every day, every minute.. What are some key things to appear or enhance the symptoms of ADD? What should I say? Or shouldn't say? What kinds of tests would they run? Do you think it'd be hard to pull off even if I didn't have it? I'm 16 (I've notived this my whoel life). No telling me I'm wrong to be wanting something I might not have. i just going to ignore answers that convince me not to, dont' bother xD [ Read More ]

Yet More Bad Behaviour From My Child?At home, my son is still doing as he's told when we tell him. I won't lie and say that he never tries to argue - but I tend to nip this in the bud and tell him what will happen if he refuses - such as no tidying up, and I will simply put anything I find on the floor in the bin (I've done it before and I'll do it again). Yet we have fun, if he's good, we go to the beach, go 'jellyfishing' (that's rockpooling to the non-spongebob fans out there, and no I don't really let him catch jellyfish! We have 'munchy crunchy snack nights', where on a friday or Saturday he gets to stay up late and have some of his favourite snacks. Or we go for walks over the hills to one of his nannas which he also loves. But school is still a problem, the teacher maintains that he jumps into the corner, shouts, stands on tables, plays the class clown for attention. I spoke to the health visitor and she said a shared reward chart was a good idea - I have one at home, the teacher has one at school, but this is a book where she can tick or cross and, if she has time, comment on his behaviour. For two weeks now, she has not sent his book out, so I have had to go in and ask about his behaviour, she will say he is naughty, then she then says she has not got time to discuss it and walks away. I saw the head today, (acting head, will be his teacher next year) who then suggested it was his diet. It really isn't, I cook from scratch and he never gets junk. He is going through a 'raw veg only' phase, which makes his food a bit weird, but certainly not bad for you. He said ADHD, but of course, if he had this, he would not be able to sit on a chair at home. The health visitor is adamant that they are not helping with his behaviour at the school - and I am baffled by the conflicting information I have from everyone. Can anyone offer me advise and help? How do I get his good behaviour at home to translate to school? As I have already stated, for the terminally ignorant - he does not do this at home, and has not been taught to. Oh, and by the way, we have just got letters saying that we must make appointments and never see teachers at the end of the day, but she doesn't send his chart out with him, so what am I meant to do? Leave it for a week against the Health Visitors advice? Richard, I have been in to see the acting head, who will also be his teacher when he goes back and had a bit more help. He wants me to keep a diary when we return of what he does, eats, and his behaviour. You may not be able to imagine a teacher saying what my current child's teacher says, but all the same, it has happened on many occassions, even when I have made appointments with her. I've told her that he doesn't do it at home, I feel as if she does not believe me - she will just say 'He is doing it here'. I am not at school, what on earth am I supposed to say about that? It is surely more disruptive if I sit in classes every day, with his baby brother in tow. Thanks Dawn, my son is incredibly clever they say - but I don't think he's some bored super genius. He reads well, his maths is superb, but if something bores him, he does switch off. [ Read More ]
