I would suggest that your DD contact Dr Lena Ohlson, herself diagnosed as autistic, who has done much research and a) believes that these children react as they do because they use more of their brain than most of us, are more sensitive and thus become overloaded and b) has found that mineral and other supplements can effect dramatic change in their behaviour. I have pasted below some of her comments, plus what she says about diet and here is a link to a YouTube vid of her: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElJms6hmdwU
1) The new programs of humanity can be embodied in human labels, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Asperger Syndrome (Asperger’s) and other forms of Autism and Dyslexia, conventionally believed to be the result of faulty genes, poor diet, vaccinations, poor parenting, and pollution, etc. Although some of these may be contributing factors, it cannot explain why these children are so dramatically different in terms of perception and behavior. Is it possible these apparent
dysfunctions are part of a new evolving human? Molecular biologist Dr. Lena Ohlson believes this is not a dysfunction, but they are fundamentally different, and
has coined the term ‘Letter People’. Dr. Ohlson believes she is a ‘letter person’. This understanding has been due to her research into the differences both as a scientist
and because of her own personal experiences. Dr. Ohlson explains that there are qualities these children/people have, which are not being understood because they
are fundamentally different.
2)I found some unique chemical differences: I observed the calculated levels of acetylcholine and dopamine in the brain are higher in letter people. Acetylcholine is formed from choline in the vitamin B family, and letter people need more choline (but also other vitamin B family members) because they use more of it. So that’s the simplicity behind the ‘cure’ for letter people: more of the vitamin B family and methylsulphonylmethane (MSM), to help in the enzymatic reactions in the brain and the formation of acetylcholine from choline. The positive effect comes a few days after the first intake; and if you stop taking the supplements, the first signs of imbalance (ADHD and so on) can be noticed after a few days, depending on how much stress you are exposed to.
Acetylcholine is also used by the body to calm down after stress and to regulate the bowels. That’s probably also one reason the letter people can be sensitive to milk products, gluten or additives in the food. Inflammation of the intestine, like IBS, ulcerous colitis and so on, are probably also seen more often in letter people because of the lack of choline. But this could easily be studied for verification. We know that normal people process one problem at a time on both sides of the brain, observed through brain-scanning experiments. Letter people show impairment in the communication between the brain halves, and thus use one side of the brain for solving the same problem. They say we are dysfunctional but I believe it is a way to free more space in the brain for solving more difficult tasks. Maybe at the same time (lots of the stress sensitive people I have scanned are problem-solvers and multi-taskers before they get their metabolic stress syndrome), a way that nature has supported us with a possibility to further brain development………..
How to Support the Letter Person with Diet
A short list I recommend a letter person to start with and the doses that have helped my family and me. (All doses are per day):In addition to healthy foods we take multivitamin and mineral supplements, and in addition to that we take:
Vitamin D3: 50, microgram
Vitamin C: 1-2grams
Sometimes Silica gel for the stomach and nervous system, and probiotic for the intestinal flora, thus promoting health.
For the Nervous System and the Brain (Running all the functions in the body, and therefore crucial)
Vitamin Bs in a complex: 25 mg each of B1, B2, B6, PABA, Inositol
50 mg each of B3, B5, Cholin
50 microgram of B12
25 microgram B15
150 microgram Biotin
200 micrograms Folic acid). In most vitamin Bs this is over the recommended daily intake, and we, in the family, have taken this daily for more than ten years with no side effects but becoming healthier.
Omega oil 3, 6, 9, in balance: We have used mostly a brand called Udo’s Choice, but also Omega 3 from fish.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). Start with a few grains and work your way up to the maximum dose of two teaspoons/day. Can be dissolved in fruit juice to taste better. Take this in the morning or during daytime, because it gives energy and might keep you awake in the night.
Anxiety Prevention: Valerian officinalis: between 200mg and 1200mg (The brand Neuroplant is really good).
Depression Prevention : Hypericum officinalis: between 600mg and 900mg.
Letter people have a lot of potential, but they are often put down at an early age because they meet more of a challenge when trying to learn how to drive and control their bodies (probably due to very many more nervous cells and faster transmission at some or all synapses between nerves). But the extended nervous system, in its turn, and if handled and trained properly, will give the brain (which also most certainly is a bit different to ‘normal’ people) a good portion of ‘extra curriculum’ exercise, and we end up problem solvers and big thinkers. The brain in letter people is said to have bad connections between the two sides, and this is part of their explanation. The other part is that it is a further development of the human brain to increase brain capacity and receive frequencies that enhance our evolution as a species. The brain is compartmentalized to protect the bearer from being programmed from outside sources. Otherwise, you could not continue to get ‘clean’ ideas and thoughts. A lot of subliminal programming is taking place from media and other sources via ‘streaming’ different frequencies through the bodies.
There are some points worth adding about letter children/people. They don’t seem to have an ‘off-button’ to use when necessary. They cannot easily turn off their thoughts and the stress response (‘fight or flight’) in their nervous system, and that makes them more prone to stress-related problems. It is of importance that the parents don’t over-activate these children (more easy to say than do, because these children have lots of thoughts and a vivid imagination), but let them get bored sometimes to ‘down-regulate’ the ‘on-signal’ in the autonomous part of their nervous system. I’ve done scannings with the DDFAO on young letter people and noticed that their nervous system is more activated than in ‘normal’ kids. If this signal isn’t down-regulated now and then, their adrenal gland is becoming exhausted with hormonal imbalance(this is the same for older letter people also).”
Depression: “The second part I cannot emphasize enough. They are more prone to become depressed, not least because they use more vitamins, because of their more rapid metabolism, especially in their brain and nervous system, and, therefore, they can easily become ‘chemically depressed’. This depression is more difficult to meet unless they are put on hypericum and extra vitamin D3, in combination with the vitamin B complex and MSM. Synthetic anti-depressives are really bad for them, and only add to the imbalance in their brains. In the worst-case scenario, they commit suicide.

You could probably contact her via Mary Rodwell, who has written a book that includes the above information about these children: [email protected]
( rather than council run residential care tbh , particularly the 'crisis care!!' :-( )
lol
hugs btw
