Hello everyone!
I am new to the list, and would like to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Matthew Bowerman, and my wonderful wife is named Kelly. We have two sons; the eldest is Perrin at seven years old, and the youngest Benjamin at three years old. Perrin was diagnosed with PDD at 2 ½, and later diagnosed with Autism around the age of five. Perrin is a high functioning autistic, and a wonderful son, and big brother. Perrin has many social problems within our culture, chief of which is language development. Perrin will only eat specific foods, and goes through a copping hierarchy of actions when uncomfortable. Perrin memorizes whole tracts of movie dialog, as well as songs and repeats these to comfort himself in times of stress. We have a hard time keeping clothes on him at home, as he loves to run free. I believe he does not like the constriction of clothing. Perrin will not eat vegetables, or most meats. Perrin will eat oatmeal, sugared cereal, yogurt, Corn dogs (picks the cornmeal off), plain franks, McDonalds Chicken nuggets, most french-fries, McDonalds Hash browns, cookies, most sodas, Juice, Teas, chocolate milk, Slim Fast, Potato Chips, Soft Serve Ice Cream, most kinds of Candy, Bananas, and Apples. We give him multi-vitamins to help balance his limited diet. We are starting him on a leaching process to remove possible Mercury poisoning, as he did not show signs of any problems until his immunizations. Well that’s all for now.
