subject: Vocal Stimming, Amino Acids and Autism [print this page] There is a lot of strange things that sometimes pop up in practice, you will see a wide variety of patients. One of the things I've seen, from time to time, children with autism spectrum disorder, is that some children are making sound, which seems to be the vocal type of stim where they make a sound "eeeeeeee" or something else which is too high volume again and again and again, constantly. It's true that it usually drives people nuts, as a parent, as trustee, whatever that is. So many of kids just can not control it. We know that, but sometimes hard to find what is causing it. What could be the reason for this success?
I have seen children who have this type of behavior when he began to take more individual amino acids and the replacement of various amino acid deficiencies, this behavior has disappeared. It is therefore likely that led me to think that maybe it could be a more common approach for this particular type of problem with the children on the spectrum. So if your child is doing these acute vocal sounds, makes "eeeeeeeee" or something similar, then in my experience, it would be interesting to ask your doctor run a profile of amino acids. You can do a urine profile of amino acids, usually to start a fasting amino acid profile and see where the gaps.If there are deficiencies, you can actually get a product to measure amino acid which is produced from a compounding pharmacy, give your child to take it, and in many cases, you will see that the symptom disappears. I saw in my practice and this leads me to believe it could easily happen to other children and other physician offices as well.
