Zurama's Bio
 

I am the mother of five children, the youngest Michael or Mickie as we like to call him, was diagnosed with Autism at 22 months old.After years of early intervention therapy, which didn't work. I learned through trial and error that he had underlying biomedical problems that culminated in Autism like symptoms, including, chronic digestive problems since the age of one, when he received the MMR vaccine.
With biomedical interventions, gfcf  and SCD diets, Mickie's body is starting to heal. Some of the most severe symptoms, head banging, night waking, self injurious behaviors are almost gone.
He lost all speech by the age of three. He is now 10 years old and has just started to say mama, for the first time in almost 8 years.

~My Mother's Day Morning~
by Zurama on 05.12.08 - public - 72 visits

This morning I woke up to Mickie sitting at the kitchen table covered in coffee crumbs and powder creamer. He had also brought all his blankets out and those were also covered in coffee and creamer.

I walked in and before I could ask him what he had done, he smiled and said.....__Mom! He had been saying mama, but I think he is listening to his siblings who called me mom and then he gave me the sign for shower.

I really wanted to be angry with him, but couldn't.......Just three months ago, he was not saying a word and not using signs to communicate.

It really was a special mother's day!!

SUPER!!!!!!! It's all moving in the right direction. I agree it sounds like he was trying to get your coffee started...

Awe, maybe he was trying to make you coffee. I am so glad he is communicating. That was a great Mother's Day present.

Maybe he was making you breakfast in bed? Maybe he just didn't realize the bed shouldn't be brought into the kitchen? Happy Mother's Day! He's talking and he loves you!
