im sorry i cant help, but here is a mini documentary about Autism and the Walk for Autism. its a rough copy of it, but here it is- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U84wWh…

its going to be extremely hard to do anything without meds. im not saying that they are the answer, but look into it. there may be meds that are natural and safe.

Do the meds help control her autism or other ailments? If they do, why wouldn’t you put your child on those meds?

well, there arent really any meds for autism…but the others can be treated with medication, especially because she has autism as well.
is she in any sort of programme for kids with autism? art and music therapies work absolute wonders for autistic kids.
you should also be entitled to some sort of government help so look into that!

It’s never your fault. You can look for some grant.
This article tells you where to get those grants:
