Who is Nathan?

Who is Nathan? Oh my, he's so special it's hard to put in to a description. He's our son who has a diagnoses of pervasive developmental disorder (with suspected autism.) He was basically non verbal until age 5. Then he began the echolia. He is now 7.

A little background at age 2 we brought our concerns to his pediatrician and were basically blamed for his lack of communication. The doctor told us his older sister talked enough for him so he doesn't. That we needed to force him to speak. Don't give in until he asks for something. So my trust of doctors went out the window. He received his diagnoses a year later and we were suggested to go to an autism specialist for that diagnoses. Being it was 2011 and autism was sorta New, new to me at least. I didn't want to attach that label to him just yet. I was told we could get disability and get money for his issues. I didn't want that I wanted my child to be happy and function as best as possible. We tried therapy a few times and he just was not progressing or enjoying it. He would get so upset and not cooperate. Outsiders say I gave up and that from this point he was doomed. He would never be normal. He would never function as a typical child. He would never potty train. He would never speak. He would never do what other kids do. And it will all be your fault. Can you imagine what that does to a mom. But my sons happiness was what mattered. I learned how to work with him at home. He loves tablets or smart phones and just recently is mastering using a laptop. At about 5 he would begin to sing with the videos and apps he watched on his tablet. He could play games and match things on apps. He's very very smart. Now at 7 he's still making leaps and bounds in progress I was told would never happen with out a medical professional. He's semi potty trained. Can count to 20. Knows all his letters. Sings songs in other languages (bc he listens to them in those languages) I began to get involved in the anti vaccines community (that's a whole other issue not touching on it now) where I learn of Dr. Andrew Wakefield. All the info on the gut and autism connection. Also reached out to a fellow autism mom and Facebook friend. She leads me to the MTHFR gene. Which leads me to find all natural healing for my son. Found a group on recovering kids with biomedical interventions. First we started with removing cows milk/dairy. Also he would eat oatmeal pies daily we removed those. We have seen changes in him with just these 2 changes. This leads me to fully believe his symptoms are gut based not neurological. That once we heal his gut his brain will begin to heal. We will also be doing a detox once I receive his hair test results for toxins. I 100% believe our boy is vaccine injured. I believe with the MTHFR gene he is still holding all those toxins inside him. now we begin the process of ridding The bad, adding the good, and healing him.

 I've found the information and guidance I've been searching for for 5 years. Join us on our journey to full recovery.
