This does assume, of course, that you have researched it and gathered whatever info you could to at least feel confident that it could help and won't harm (which I know you guys do!!). In this case, it sure seemed like something that could have helped Joy, so it was worth a try. And I wonder if there might be ways that it helped Joy that you don't even realize, even if it didn't seem to improve the issues you were most concerned about for her. It certainly is a complex puzzle to figure out what is an effect from something specific that you do or change, and what is a normal path that would have occurred anyway, and what is a unique issue for the problems that are being faced. I have found this to be a challenge with other situations and conditions I have faced with my kids (not autism). It almost seems as if us parents need to become experts in order to know what "experts" to use for our child, and what courses of treatments we should choose from these "experts." I'm glad you gave this therapy a chance for Joy, and sorry that it didn't have the results you hoped. I'll continue to hope that there is a therapy out there that will help Joy, and somehow you will find it!! In the meantime, I'm glad that JoyDad got to have some happy playtime with Joy, whether or not it was due to the therapy!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-29998341038486606652008-09-06T13:22:00.000-05:002008-09-06T13:22:00.000-05:00I've been (too?) cynical about alternative therapi...I've been (too?) cynical about alternative therapies over the years, and while I regret a few of the things we tried, I also regret dozens of things we didn't. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing what you try next.mama edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16434016248126809607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-72281305282516227862008-09-06T07:40:00.000-05:002008-09-06T07:40:00.000-05:00I hope this comes out right..,not had coffee yet!I...I hope this comes out right..,not had coffee yet!<BR/><BR/>It is likely you will not ever fully tease out which cauae goes w/which effect. THings are so interrelated and connected that it's not always so easy to see the 1:1 or that the connections end up not being what you would expect.<BR/><BR/>That being said, it makes perfect sense to me that there will not be any one specific "solution" or resolution but rather a constellation of inter-related therpies, treatments, approaches, what have you.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the CST helps w/some very subtle thing for Joy but that without knowing what else to do in conjunction it is, by itself, worthless.<BR/><BR/>I hope that made sense. I thin I' need to go get coffee! xoNiksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-6071991972330847652008-09-06T07:30:00.000-05:002008-09-06T07:30:00.000-05:00It's so hard figuring out "cause and effect".
