On June 8th I took Brady to have a well child visit with Dr. Dunbrasky. She spent a lot of time with him visiting about his feelings, diet and health. They also talked about his autism. She explained the difference of when people with autism get angry virus people without it. She held her hand low and said people without autism start here and then she raised her hand up high to when they get really angry. Then she explained that people with autism are already close to the high spot when they get angry so it doesn't take much to set them off. After visiting with him and asking lots of questions she concluded that Brady has a lot of anxiety and that she thought starting him on some medicine would help. So she started him on Fluoxetine/Prozac at ten milligrams and then a month late increased it to 20mg. She also wanted him to start taking calcium (1200 mg) with vitamin D3 (400mg) 2 tabs daily. She didn't think he was getting enough through his diet. She explained that you only have until your 21 to gain all the calcium for your bones that is why it is so important to have milk when you are young.
On June 9th Brady got braces again. This time to help get rid of all the gaps in his teeth. The first time was to help him with his bite. Dr. Barinaga said he should only have them for about 12-18 months. Then he will put in some permanent retainers to keep them from separating again.
