Ds's EEG is going well. He had a few episodes during naptime and when he was going to sleep tonight. The neurologist said that he will review the data he will be back in the morning to dicuss what we are going to send us home sometime tomorrow. I really hope it is before naptime.
Anyway, he wants to start ds on B6 because it could help with the side effects that he is experiencing with one of his medications. Since I am new to ASD's I am not sure if there are any benefits for kids taking b6 or is it just b12 shots? Thanks.
Thanks
B6 is another B vitamin that influences brain function, yes. Try googling it!
Here are some links that might provide you with the answer you are looking for. Keep in mind that the b-12 is methlycobalamin b-12 versus the regular cobalamin b-12 that is used to treat anemia.
