Aspergers or Indigo?

Question

My child is incredibly gifted, but has been diagnosed as being on the Autistic spectrum. However, I have turned my back on the psychic/spirit world over the years, even though people see me as being highly psychic. I now see expanations in the scientific world, but could I be doing my child a misjustice?

Hi,

First I have to be honest and tell you that I don't believe along the same lines regarding phsycic and spiritualism etc, BUT it does seem to me that you might lean more towards natural cures and common sense- I think that oyu have a high discernment and you are questioning what the medical profession is telling you- that is not a bad thing. I believe that God created our bodies and that everything we need for nourishment, proper function and healing has been given to us. Pharmaceuticals tend to have a lot of side effects that are sometimes worse than the original problem and uncertain long term effects.
My daughter had a lot of autistic tendencies but was never diagnosed as autistic. I took her to several doctors and never could get to the bottom of what was wrong. last year we had her tested for food allergies and found out she was allergic to wheat and gluten as well as some other foods and possibly has Celiac disease . Since we have taken her off of the offending foods she has been so much better, she is very bright and gifted also but had much troubloe concventrating and learning until we took her off of the foods- her progress has been nothing short of miraculous. I have done some research regarding keeping the paharmaceuticals out and I have found that surprisingly, many have seen great improvements and benefits when feeding autistic children a gluten free diet. I would get her food allergy AND food intolerance tested. I would also check out the book "The Diet Cure and look into a short term amino acid therapy program- this book will help oyu figure out which ones to use and how much. The great thing about these things is that there are no side effects. 9 times out of 10 you will see a benefit and if it helps nothing- it hurt nothing- it is all natural, things that occur naturally in the body or actually nourish the body.
I think oyu would be doing your child a great misjustice by drugging her up with things that you have no idea how they will affect her or her future children!

I'm getting that you are a little confused as to what wisdom to listen to... The wisdom of the doctors and their diagnosis and the wisdom you feel from within you.

To be honest, the feeling I have is that both may have some validation. You should listen to the information available through the medical profession. However, if you simply allow the label of "autistic" to be applied to your child, then that may lead to a "misjustice". In today's world, labels are still very much what people are judged by.

The circumstances and challenges your child has been given to deal with were done so for reasons that are hard to understand given the limited perceptions of the secular world.

My advice.... Listen to what the "experts" say, but follow your own intuitions about the decisions you make in raising your child. You were given this responsibility because you have something special to offer your child.

Answer 4

Could you be doing your child a misjustice by what? By trusting science, or by believing that you are psychic and using your fortunes to help your child? Aspergers is real and you need to take it seriously. Relying on the spirit world to raise a child sounds pretty.... unreliable.

Answer 5

the child would not be drugged up for aspergers syndrome!!!!! there is no cure. antidepressants may be used if needed later in life but please accept all the help you can my own child has aspergers and the authorities can help with their school life which can become an absolute torment if the child like my own is incredibly intelligent as they realise that they are different. The incidence of depression and suicide in aspergers teenagers is higher than average so don't be offended if mental health become involved it is just for the good of the child and they are only involved to prevent problems and not look for them!!!!

Answer 6

I think you ought to get real, drop all this 'spirit-world' bollocks and start working with the relevant authorities, medical, social, and otherwise, to get your child the best possible life he can have.

In what what is he incredibly gifted? Has this been confirmed by a doctor, specialist, science-based evaluation? Or is this more of your obviously very fervent imagination?

Answer 7

Do what you feel is the best for your child.

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

What is your psychic side saying?
