Sophie has been improving but it is hard to measure the change. I use an online test to help me gain perspective, (links below). It is scored 1-100, 100 being more severely effected. Sophie’s score was 67. She had scored 74 in June 2008. The test is divided into sections:
Speech/Language/Communication,
Sociability
Sensory/Cognitive Awareness
Health/Physical/Behavior

Sophie made gains in all areas except for health where there was a bit of decline, mainly because she is now some what destructive, biting objects when frustrated. Also the constant constipation issues brought down her score in that area.

I want to share her improvements. Sophie seems much more present. She isn’t off in her own world anymore. She will look at us, almost always, when we say her name or ask her to look at us. Her singing is back! I hear her precious little voice singing again. She is also counting again and she is back up to 20 where she was when autism took her away from us. She plays with her sisters a lot, granted, she doesn’t share and she controls the game, her sisters adore her and don’t mind a bit. She has relationships with people. We have moved into our parents house and she spends time with different members of the family.

I attribute the improvements to chelation. I am using ALA and DMSA, 100mg, 3 times a day 3 days a week. I also have her on probiotics, tmg, folonic acid, mb12, biotin, vitamin c and miralax daily. I use GSE and Milk thistle when chelating, the GSE for yeast control and the milk thistle to support her liver. You can find most of these things here http://astore.amazon.com/autishar-20
