    Hi

    I'd like my son to try digestive enzymes , I've found loads of info about how they can help, but nothing

    advising what makes or types to look for or avoid. They are easily bought on the web & not expensive,

    but I'd feel happier with someones elses recommendation.

    Thanks for replying.

    Oh dear I'm not very reasured! was hoping it would be a passing thing.

    Luckily Will only gets this when VERY stressed (so far) It can often be a good indication to us that something is worrying him more that he's letting on. As for gluten, yes he does get red ears but it doesnt seem to connect to the rash, but I will start to watch for a pattern with that and his outbursts. I have thought about testing for gluten, but dread the idea

    changing wills foods as he's so reluctant to try anything new. however it

    has been playing on my mind, he eats alot of high carb foods so prob

    high gluten too & he often gets stroppy before mealtimes like he's craving something - either carb/sugars or gluten.

    Has anyone heard of this? When Will gets stressed, mainly over school at the moment, firstly he

    gets covered in goose bumps, if its really bad a red eczema type patch comes up inside his elbow which

    gets sore & can last days,& sometimes red blotches inside his thighs, but today he had an awful day of outburst & meltdowns at school, so bad he's been excluded for a week, & this evening the blotches on his

    legs are covered in itchy blister-like bumps. It definately seems to be anxiety related, does this happen to

    anyone else?

    Hello, this is my first post here.

    My son is 10 & dx 2 years ago with Aspergers & since then also SID & Dyspraxia. He is in a DSP unit

    of a mainstream school, he's been there for a year, he likes the class he's in & occasionally has had a good

    co-operative week, but when he cant cope he explodes & his rages are becoming more violent than the

    school can cope with. With great difficulty (phone calls & e-mails) we spoke to the school doctor on the

    phone, he couldnt suggest anyone to refer us to but the phyc at CAFS who did the diagnosis, but our CAFs

    dont support, they only diagnose. So he prescribed Risperidone & will see us in a couple of months.

    Its only been 2 weeks & theres no effect yet. We tried getting W back to school (he's been too afraid to

    go in incase he loses control again) as the Ed Phyc was to do an observation, he went in really stressed

    & upset & having someone staring at him and writing on her clipboard set him off straight away, he

    trashed the classroom & I had to take him home. He wont be allowed back till after xmas, & that depends

    on what the Ed Phyc says at next weeks meeting. I dont care if he cant go back to that school, I've told him I will homeschool him if necessary; the last 2 years of struggle at school have been too stressful

    for him and me, & his tempers at home are very mild compared to school. However, he would prefer to be able to go to school if he could control himself, as he is quite sociable. So where do we go for help? you all seem to go to CAHMS or therapists, or paediatricians. Our GP knows nothing about AS, he will refer us but we have to tell him where. I cant find CAHMS here (Northampton area) I think its incorporated into CAFS & they only diagnose. We dont mind paying but we cant find anywhere to go. The NAS recommends cognitive behavioural Therapy but the nearest one is 2 hours away. I'm sure we're missing something, either that or we'll have to move house! I feel we're going round in circles & not getting anywhere, & W's childhood is

    fast disappearing. Any suggestions??
