My Child is Autistic—Where Do I go From Here?
By Carmel L. Mooney
Perhaps no day in a parent’s life is more traumatic and chaotic than the day they first realize or are informed that their child has an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
For my daughter, it was evident to me what was wrong, immediately following her profound vaccine injury. I had no time to grieve or process my feelings when I got the confirmation from medical professionals of what I had feared most. For me it was no real shock to see the diagnosis on paper. I had already witnessed my beautiful, happy, intelligent, affectionate, singing and smiling toddler quickly fall into a dark abyss of anger, frustration, and isolation. I knew what was wrong. But still I was faced with the daunting task of navigating a complex system of professionals and procedures to get the diagnosis I knew she needed in order to best facilitate the care she would require.
What followed were months of sleepless nights of research, phone calls to the best doctors the country had to offer, and long stressful airplane flights around the nation on a quest for solutions. For most parents this period of overwhelming information and searching for answers comes during severe emotional stress, exhaustion, and sleep deprivation. Often well-meaning family, friends and even health professionals are at a loss as to how to support or educate the family in crisis as they wade through reams of information and misinformation trying to find viable options, resources and hope.
Here are some starting points to consider as you will likely be juggling several balls at once as you explore services and therapies for your child, which may include Speech therapy, Occupational therapy, auditory processing therapies, ABA therapy, and more.
Statistically the children with the best outcomes have been treated with the DAN! protocol and DAN! physicians. You will find a list of practicing DAN! physicians and stories of hundreds of children no longer on the spectrum because of successful bio-medical interventions and treatment at www.generationrescue.org.
DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!) is an organization founded by the Autism Research Institute. It is of critical importance to note that DAN! physicians are classically trained medical doctors who apply their training to treat autism spectrum disorders bio-medically using the latest DAN! protocol. Keep in mind that while the number of these doctors is rapidly growing each year it may take three to six months or more to obtain an appointment with some DAN! physicians.
Here is an affordable and do-able action plan to implement while waiting to see a DAN! doctor and for therapies to start:
- Reduce the toxic load from your home environment. Most autistic children are wrestling with various toxicity issues and are predisposed to magnified ill-effects from environmental toxins, so lower your load at home first. Opt for organic and chemical-free cleansers, fibers, bedding, clothing, and products whenever possible throughout your home.
- Invest in a balanced multivitamin and mineral supplement. Several companies manufacture specific supplements for children with ASD. Some of the better-known supplements used by DAN! doctors are from Kirkman Labs. They are available without prescriptions.
- Consider adding cod liver oil to your child’s food or juice. Cod Liver Oil is an excellent source of Vitamin A. Often parents of autistic children find immediate improvements in eye contact and calmness from simply implementing Cod Liver Oil to their child’s diet. Nordic Naturals Orange Flavored Cod Liver Oil is a brand often recommended by doctors for its purity standards.
- Begin using probiotics. Probiotics provide the stomach with “good” gut flora. One well-know probiotic is Acidophilus, another yet is Bifidum. Most ASD children benefit from daily supplementation with probiotics, particularly the ones with leaky gut or yeast issues.
- Lipoceutical Glutathione. Glutathione is one of the body’s most potent and vital anti-oxidants. The majority of children with ASD are critically low in Glutathione. Most DAN! Doctors use this as one component of the DAN! Protocol. It is often dispensed in a transdermal cream or as a liquid in a bottle that is well absorbed by the body. You can purchase Lipoceutical Glutathione over-the-counter from Wellness Pharmacy: 1-800-227-2627. A large percentage of parents report immediate improvement after introducing Lipoceutical Glutathione.
- Find a local physician who is familiar with the Defeat Autism Now! Protocol, and plan out a series of medical tests and treatments. Some physicians will be open to medical testing and biomedical treatments, but others will not. Search until you find one who is willing to help your child, as opposed to one who wishes only to monitor the severity of your child’s problems. Take your child to a physician who supports you and respects your viewpoint, goals, and objectives.
- Attend one or more parent support groups. Parents and caregivers can be a valuable source of support and information. There are over 200 chapters of the Autism Society of America, over 70 chapters of FEAT, and other informal parent support groups. Consider joining or visiting at least one.
It is important to note that every child is treated differently by a DAN! physician based on that child’s individual medical needs. As Dr. Raj Patel, MD, a DAN! doctor from California states, “Each DAN! practitioner has a slightly different approach. We are working with a syndrome, not a single disease. Five different kids with one label may have different problems underneath.”
The key is to get plugged into a DAN! doctor as quickly as possible so that they can guide you though the treatment plan your individual child requires.
There is something you can do as a newly diagnosed parent of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Research, arm your self with the latest knowledge, and take action.

Ok, I’ve asked questions on here before but I need to be a little more specific about what I am saying on here.
My wife, who we will call Erica, has an anger problem. She gets upset at the smallest things and then she does things that are completely irrational. For example, if I make a comment about how I know she is, she takes most of what I say the wrong way. She takes what I say the wrong way and gets upset about it. (This happens all the time.) When I try to talk to her and let her know that what she is thinking is not what I mean, she doesnt want to give me a chance to explain myself. Erica gets upset and complains about why I am still trying to talk to her but when I respond, she listens to about 5 or 6 words in my sentence and then she starts trying to overtalk me. Then most of the time after that, she asks me what do I want to talk to her about, which is something I have already said but she doesnt want to hear it.
I have an injury that she knows about and she threatens to punch me where my injury is because I wont leave her alone. But when I do leave her alone, she takes 2 or 3 minutes, and then comes back to me asking the same question, "What do you need to talk to me about?" It’s ridiculous.
If I dont try to talk to her, then she tells me that I never ask.
If I try to talk to her about what she took the wrong way, then I am complaining and bugging her.
When we met, she had 2 kids by 2 different men and I didnt prejudge her when we met. I was just thinking, stuff happens. But now we have a child together and another thing she does when she gets upset is tell me that I am a bad father, I am a bad husband, etc. She doesnt work, she spends her time singing in her cousins choir. She doesnt clean, doesnt wash dishes, doesnt clean the house, she may cook once or twice a week, she’s just wasteful. I have never hit her before, I don’t curse at her, I dont try to hold anything bad over her head. She calls me the N word, curses in front of the children. Tells me she hates me infront of the children, etc.
Even when I am wrong, I tell her. Im not trying to get into a battle of who is wrong and who is right. There is a perception that needs to be corrected because it makes me look like something I’m not.
She threatens to call the police to take me to jail because I wont stop talking to her. Then After she calms down, and the next day comes, she wants to kiss and be affectionate. Then she wants things from me. If I am such a bad father, then why do you need me to watch the kids while you go sing somewhere?
By the way, she doesnt want to go to counseling because she doesnt think anything is wrong with her. She always tells me that there is something wrong with me.
She has admitted that she loves all her children more than me because they are always going to be there and love her. Even when im doing right. If I cough the wrong way she may call the police and want to say that I did something to hurt her. ??????
I have gone to counseling by myself, but its not doing anything for Erica. She’s so dramatic.
Someone please help
i love pathetic losers like you who get taken advantage of. less stupid bitchy wh0res for the rest of us to sift through.
