Hi Stacy,

Can you child talk?  My son "Justin" is totally blind since birth and he 
can talk until he took MMR Vaccinations. He was diagnosed with Autism 
since that horrid day, he started to rock non stop, repetitious 
movement, constantly removing all socks, shoes, shirts, he wanted to be 
as naked as possible and it took us a long time to break his habits, 
finally "Thank God!"  he finally realize he needs to wear clothes so 
that is ok, toilet training was a big ordeal too and he came out of 
diapers 3 years ago.  Now the only huge issues we are struggling is his 
nonverbal issues. He sat on the therapy ball and we did ABA technique 
with it so it applied the pressure points where his body and sensory 
needs to be pressured.


I know how you feel.  It is hard enough with one disability to cope 
with, my son got epilepsy too thanks to the MMR vaccination with the 
"Thermosil"  Mercury derivatives which almost killed him

Good Luck!
Tina

We even use a pressure vest under clothing that fits as tightly as a wet suit. He will seek out experiences for pressure and tightness. That's why it's a spectrum...every child on it is different.
