George, I believe your one sentence in this thread about praising God every moment helped me turn my thinking around into expection of good. I do believe when we trust God and fullly believe in His Word that this sets off or at least meets the pre-ordained blessings wherein He gets the glory. And I did ask God for a special blessing, something that would bring an awareness to my son and his of God's goodness. Michael didn't dismiss this incident totally in regard to an answer to prayer which I told him was being offered on his behalf by people of faith on a great website. Sometimes we just need a boost, even God given faith becomes imperfect when put into the heart of man. Judy

--- Quote ---Please, the prayers are doing things. Really!!! First I found the Asperger site which fits Chase to a T. Aspergers is a branch of autism. Not nearly as bad but still frustrating. Forwarded it to my son as the site has all kinds of info and parents can interact. Michael DIDN"T call me up and tell me to quit sending it so, holding my breath. 

Now, would you believe this!!!! Tonight Michael took the boy to school for a fun night (Michael is always at the school concerning Chase) and---Chase won a computer that had been re-done. He also won 2 board games and after loading the car, the staff had packed up loads of food for them to take home!!!!!!
That's God!! Michael said he was going to let Chase get a few decent games and come fall hook it up to the internet if he has a job. Chase will need it for school.
Now, for the job. God, how I wish there were more factories here. I remember working in electronic factories for about 10 yrs. The reason I liked them was because I was good with my hands and I didn't have the stress of working with my brain all day. Being a bit of a nervous type as is my son this would be perfect. But the Lord knows where a job is so I will leave it to Him. I have asked for many more blessings for them  and am more than grateful to such a good God!! Judy

Hey, Judy,

This is great news.  I was curious if in the aspergers website there's any mention of the benefits of a gluten / wheat-free diet?  I only ask because I worked with a man whose son had severe autism and his boy did an about-face (going from fits of rage every day all day long to calm and communicative), not overnight but in a relatively short period after the wheat/gluten was removed from his diet (among other forms of therapy).  I know another man personally who has a gluten/wheat intolerance and he experienced the same relief on a gluten/wheat-free diet.  I hope this helps.

Gina, thanks. I will bring this to my son's attention. They probably do eat this .We had to hide food for awhile from Chase , especially something sweet because he would devour a whole box or bag of cookies and doughnuts. His father just the other day found he had eaten 3 boxes of ho-hos hid in a cupboard. And he must have done this early in the morning. Michael is a good cook and feeds him well, he can't be hungry constantly. We think it is his med.
Chase swirls his hands into a spiral, it is called flapping. It's almost like a ritual. Doesn't do this on his med. Very unnerving! Or he will be gracious one min. then sarcastic the next. He likes to look in the mirror when he talks. And lately he has been saying he has a different God than myself when I know his mother takes him to a Christian church occasionally. I said, 'Chase your mother and I both believe in Jesus." it's like he hates us at times and we would do anything for him, taking him places, staying over night, listening to him. He can sound like a mature man at times and then go into a routine of a 6 yr. old. He is difficult. We don't know if he is a genius or insane. Judy

judy, your statement above really stopped me in my tracks. i was wondering if chase's pediatric doc, from when he was a little kid, ever noted anything about autism or aspergers in chase's med. files. i will keep him in my prayers. i pray that chase can find the help he needs, in all areas of his life. i have a 3 yr. old great niece named reilly who is autistic. she just finished her first year in pre-school and through her teachers, specialists and classmates, God the Father is bringing healing, in many ways. but, although they happen less often, on reilly's bad days we wonder sometimes too if she is genius or insane. but she is genius. and she is awesome. your chase is too.

Hey, Judy

It's good your son's interested in Chase's diet.   Yeah, I suppose you're right - Chase's sugar cravings could be the meds.  I wonder if it could be a yeast imbalance in his gut from all the sugar/wheat he's eating, ya know?  And it's hard to kick a sugar habit.  The diet is so hard to change.  I have the hardest time staying off of the donuts and the bagels, and now that I'm sharing a place with a friend who loves to cook, I'm eating things I wouldn't normally eat.

Eleven cavities and $2,500 in dental bills later, my oldest daughter confessed to me 4 years ago that all she had every day throughout high school were two Giant Snicker's Candy Bars and 2 soft drinks.  I didn't buy the stuff or keep it in the house, but she'd sneak it.  She was so depressed she told me, and said she was feeling suicidal during that time and put two and two together after she graduated from high school because a good friend of hers got her all excited about going vegetarian (it's like the big thing now with college kids). 

Now she's almost completely raw-vegetable and fruit diet - no meat, dairy.  (No thank you very much!  ;D).   I do have to admit, though, her cystic acne and mood swings basically have disappeared.  I had no idea just what a diet can do to a person's emotions (not to mention our complexions) until I saw the change in her.   Her friend is an answer to prayer.  Now, of course, she's hounding me about my diet.  (Not really, but she is very excited about how much better she feels and looks and it does interest me a lot.)

Please keep us posted, Judy.  You're speaking my language!
