Test For My Developmentally Delayed Son Pt 1
The best thing I did for my devemopmentally delayed son is get him tested. Was it expensive? Absolutely! A lot of saving because nothing is covered. But it was the best choice.
If I did not do this he would of been diagnosed Autisic and pushed to the side with therapy that was not workng. Years of trying different therapies and no results. He may very well be autistic and that is fine. But it very well be what is going on in his body is causing autism like symptoms. Time will only tell.
What i can say is since we started healing his infections, taking him out of a moldy home, detoxing, etc, he is a different kid. He went from minimally verbal to saying sentences. He went from not focusing to do anything to doing puzzles, sitting for activities, following directions. His sensory issues dramatically decreased. It is too much progress for me be able to list. It is unreal to me. I am ao grateful to be guided and follow my intuition on this journey. I hope this helps even one other child on their jourey as well. 🩵

When facing developmental delays in children, obtaining thorough and specialized testing can be a game changer, as I experienced with my son. Early on, he showed signs that could have easily been attributed solely to autism, but without clear answers from typical therapies. Through exhaustive diagnostic tests, including organic acids, mycotoxins, and genetic markers, we uncovered underlying issues that were not initially obvious. One critical discovery was his exposure to mold toxins in our home environment, which was exacerbating his symptoms. Mold toxicity, especially from mycotoxins like Ochratoxin A, can significantly impact neurological function and immune health in children. Removing him from the moldy environment and detoxifying his system led to improvements that were both surprising and encouraging. We also targeted persistent infections affecting his gut and overall metabolism, which are known to influence behavior and development. Healing these infections alongside nutritional support helped him transition from being minimally verbal to forming full sentences. Moreover, his ability to concentrate improved, allowing him to engage in puzzles and activities that previously overwhelmed him. Genetic testing revealed variants affecting detoxification and inflammation pathways, guiding us to personalize his supplements and diet. For instance, mild methyl-folate deficiency and reduced glutathione capacity suggested the need for specific nutrients to support brain and immune function. From this experience, I’ve learned that developmental delays can sometimes mask underlying physiological factors that, when addressed, can lead to significant gains. It’s crucial for parents to advocate for comprehensive evaluations rather than accepting initial diagnoses without question. Every child’s journey is unique, but healing often requires looking beyond standard therapies and considering environmental, metabolic, and genetic factors. I hope sharing our story inspires other families to pursue thorough testing and trust their instincts in seeking holistic approaches. Progress is possible, and so is hope.
