Anak comelku Autistic Spectrum Disorder

mami06

I banyak membaca kat internet sebab selalu cari idea dan resepi baru utk anak i yg amalkan cfgf diet. So ini artikel yg I baca psl soya...ada yg pro dan ada yg against soy milk, so buat research betul2 sebelum bagi anak susu soya, jgn cepat terpegaruh taktik marketing penjual sgt...

Is soy bad for you?

It contains high quantities of various toxic chemicals, which cannot be fully destroyed even by the long cooking process. These are: phytates, which block the body's uptake of minerals; enzyme inhibitors, which hinder protein digestion; and haemagluttin, which causes red blood cells to clump together and inhibits oxygen take-up and growth. Most controversiolly of all, soy contains high levels of the phytoestrogens (also known as isoflavones) genistein and daidzein, which mimic and sometimes block the hormone oestrogen.

Surely, the Japanese eat huge quantities of soy, and as a result have low rates of breast, uterus, colon and prostate cancers?

That's the big myth on which the idea of 'healthy' soy is built. In fact, the Japanese don't eat that much soy: a 1998 study showed that a Japanese man typically eats about 8g (2 tsp) a day, nothing like the 220g (8oz) that a Westerner could put away by eating a big chunk of tofu and two glasses of soy milk.

Secondly, although Japanese people may have lower rates of reproductive cancers, this is thought to be due to other dietary and lifestyle factors: they eat less fatty meat, more fish and vegetables and fewer tinned or processed foods than in a typical Western diet. Thirdly, Asians have much higher rates of thyroid and digestive cancers, including cancer of the stomach, pancreas, liver and esophagus. See Learn The Truth About The Historical Use Of Soy


I'm vegetarian and eat loads of tofu and soy milk. Should I stop?

Soy has become vegetarians' meat and milk, the major source of protein in their diet. But eating soy actually puts vegetarians at severe risk of mineral deficiencies, including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and especially zinc. According to Dr Mike Fitzpatrick, a New Zealand biochemist who runs a soy information website (see below), this is because soy contains high levels of phytic acid, which blocks the absorption of essential minerals in the digestive tract. To reduce the effects of a high-phytate diet, you need to eat, as the Japanese do, lots of meat or fish with tiny bits of soy.


I'm intolerant to cow's milk, so should I drink soy milk instead?

Soy has become the fashionable option for people 'intolerant' to dairy products. It's little known that soy is the second most common allergen. Only 1 per cent of the population is truly allergic to cows' milk and, of those, two-thirds will also be intolerant to soymilk. In addition, soy milk is high in aluminum. That's because the soy protein isolate it's made from is acid-washed in aluminum tanks. No wonder it tastes bad.


Can soy affect your thyroid?

It's been known for years that phytoestrogens in soy depress thyroid function. In Japan, 1991 research showed that 30g of soy a day results in a huge increase in thyroid-stimulating hormone. This can cause goiter, hypothyroidism, and auto-immune thyroid disease.


I'm pregnant. Should I avoid soy?

Probably, and especially if you're vegetarian. A new study of babies born to vegetarian mothers showed that baby boys had a five-fold risk of hypospadias, a birth defect of the penis. The researchers suggest this was due to greater exposure to phytoestrogen rich-foods, especially soy. Inappropriate hormone levels such as that caused by a high intake of soy during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy can also cause damage to the fetus's developing brain.


But surely I can feed my baby soy formula? It must be safe: it's available in every supermarket and chemist (pharmacy).

Soy-fed babies are taking part in 'a large, uncontrolled and basically unmonitored human infant experiment', said Daniel Sheehan, director of the FDA's National Center for Toxicological Research, in 1998. A newborn baby's sole food is the milk it drinks: a soy-fed baby receives the equivalent of five birth control pills' worth of estrogen every day, according to Mike Fitzpatrick. These babies' isoflavone levels were found to be from 13,000 to 22,000 times higher than in non-soy fed infants.

As a result of this phytoestrogen overload, soy-fed babies have a two-fold risk of developing thyroid abnormalities including goitre and auto-immune thyroiditis. Boys risk retarded physical maturation, while girls risk early puberty (1 per cent of girls now show signs of puberty, such as breast development or pubic hair, before the age of three) and infertility. Researchers have also suggested that diabetes, changes in the central nervous system, extreme emotional behavior, asthma, immune system problems, pituitary insufficiency and IBS may be caused by high phytoestrogen intake in early life.

Last year, compounds in soy were also implicated in the development of infantile leukaemia. Current government (UK) advice is that breast is best and that soy formula should not be given to infants unless on the advice of a health professional.



Can soy help with prostate cancer?

Ex-junk bond trader Michael Milken certainly thinks so. He consumes 40g of soy protein every day with that hope in mind. The science is less conclusive - a recent study on Japanese-Americans living in Hawaii showed that men who had eaten two or more servings of tofu a week during mid-life not only had 'accelerated brain ageing', and more than twice the incidence of Alzheimer's and dementia, but also looked five years older than those men who didn't.


My mother died of breast cancer and I've been advised by both mainstream and complementary medical sources that increasing my soy intake may offer me protection against the disease. Is this true?

The evidence is highly inconclusive. In The Breast Cancer Protection Diet , published last year, Dr Bob Arnot states that eating between 35g and 60g of soy protein daily protects against breast cancer by raising intake of the estrogen-blocker genistein. But this ignores contrary evidence. In 1996, research showed that women eating soy had an increased incidence of epithelial hyperplasia, a condition that presages malignancy. In 1997, genistein in the diet was also found to stimulate human breast cells to enter the cell cycle. As a result, the researchers advised women not to eat soy products to prevent breast cancer.


But surely soy prevents osteoporosis, the bone thinning that particularly affects post-menopausal women?

No. In fact, soy blocks calcium and causes a deficiency of vitamin D, both of which are needed for strong bones, say American nutritionists and soy debunkers Sally Fallon and Mary G Enig.


Is there any kind of soy product I can safely eat?

Yes. Fermented soy products, such as soy sauce, tempeh and miso. The long fermentation process counteracts the effects of natural toxins in soy.



Can I avoid soy?

It's hard. You can stop eating the obvious candidates such as soy milk and tofu, but soy is also to be found in breakfast cereals, ice cream, convenience food such as hamburgers, fish fingers and lasagna, and all manner of baked goods from cakes and biscuits to tortillas and bread. If that's your mission in life, read labels carefully, and eat organic processed foods wherever possible.



Finally, the pro-soy lobby always says that, in the US, a quarter of the population has been fed infant soy formula for 30 to 40 years, with no adverse health problems. So why should I worry?

Scientists are only just beginning to research and understand the harmful long-term effects that eating large quantities of soy can have on the human body. As Fallon and Enig write: 'The industry has known for years that soy contains many toxins. At first they told the public that the toxins were removed by processing. Then they claimed that these substances were beneficial.' Sounds like there's a big battle ahead.

anak shidah berpuasa bila dia makan ubat nya, kalau dia tak makan ubat, langsung tak mau puasa, dia mengamuk, menjerit-jerit  tak nak puasa. dah tak bagi makan dia carik air minum jugak. jadi kalau weekend dia tak puasalah.

Special attention on autistic top scorer

Autistic student Muhammad Danial Zainuddin sitting alone in a room answering his examination papers, away from the other UPSR candidates yesterday.
Autistic student Muhammad Danial Zainuddin sitting alone in a room answering his examination papers, away from the other UPSR candidates yesterday.

KUALA TERENGGANU: All eyes were on Muhammad Danial Zainuddin on the first day of the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination yesterday.
Sitting alone in a room answering his examination papers, away from the other UPSR candidates, the 12-year-old autistic student of Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Hiliran was on the verge of setting a new record for the state by being the first ever student-with-special-needs to score all A's in the UPSR examination.

But it was probably just another day for Muhammad Danial who seemed oblivious to the attention he was getting from the visit of several representatives from the state Education Department, including head of special education sector Ngah Bidin who observed him from afar.

"Okay-lah," said the shy and soft spoken Muhammad Danial who started his schooling in a special education class six years ago, summing up his first day's performance.

School headmaster Md Sidek Besar, however, said it should be more than just "okay" as the boy had constantly scored high marks in his school examinations over the past few years.
"As a matter of fact, he has been the school's best student for a while now and judging by his trial examination results.

"He will not just be the best special education candidate but I have a feeling, even among normal candidates, he will be up there hovering near the top," he said.

Meanwhile, state Education Department director Ariffin Embong said a total of 24,337 candidates, including 29 from special education classes, sat for the UPSR examination in the state.

"Aside from looking forward to Muhammad Danial becoming the first special needs candidate in the state to score five As, we are also anticipating a better overall performance from the rest of our candidates this year.

"The state has done well in the past and going by the figures derived from the trial examinations, we can look forward to another good UPSR year."

In Negri Sembilan, state education director Datuk Abdullah Mohamad said a total of 19,844 candidates from the state sat for the UPSR at 334 examination centres throughout the state.

puakumbu

tak sempat nak baca semua post..tapi saya ingin ucapkan tahniah dan salute pada semua mummies/daddys yang concern dengan perkembangan anak2 yang ada ASD.

sebagai seorang therapist untuk kanak2 ASD ini, saya nak bagi nasihat yang tak seberapa sikit untuk semua..

kanak2 autistik ni ada bermacam2 peringkat,dari very mild hingga la kepada yang very severe.ada kanak2 yang verbal dan ada jugak kanak2 yang tak de speech langsung.saya pernah mengajar kanak2 yang very mild hinggalah kepada yang mild to severe.

dari pengalaman saya,apa yang paling penting ibubapa harus bersabar melayan kerenah mereka.GENERALISEkan apa yang diajar di sekolah etc dirumah juga.Selfhelp skill is very important untuk kanak2 istimewa ini especially yang ke arah mild to severe...mereka harus belajar bagaimana untuk menjaga diri sendiri,kerana satu hari nanti mereka akan dewasa dan kita sebagai ibubapa tak mungkin akan dapat menemani mereka untuk selamanya kan..

try jugak untuk lihat apakah minat mereka supaya at least bila mereka dah dewasa,they have something to do untuk menyara hidup mereka seandainya mereka tak cemerlang disekolah...sebabnya bukan semua kanak2 ASD akan cemerlang disekolah.if mereka minat melukis/pottery/etc,pupuk la minat itu untuk mereka.

spend as much time as u can dan teach them as many things as u can seawal yang boleh (early intervention is very important).biasanya doktor boleh diagnosed dari umur 2 1/2 tahun.if kanak2 ni tak de speech,cuba dapatkan bantuan speech therapist secepat mungkin sebab dgn cara ni insyaallah ada peluang untuk mereka bertutur secepat mungkin.

namun yang paling penting,jangan mudah putus asa dalam mendidik mereka...

terima kasih atas nasihat. Saya ingin bertanya, bolehkah kanak2 autistik ni pulih seperti sediakala? maksud saya menjadi anak yg normal semula.

assesment utk my son dulu dia tgk pergerakan motor,daya kefahaman,penulisan,pembacaan.
result itu dikira dan dia akan keluarkan satu surat memberitahu anak kita ada austistik atau tidak, mild, moderate , berat.
i hope you terima whateva ketentuan Tuhan. Kalau doc cakap teruk ke apa? kita masih oleh berusaha utk didik dia dgn lebih baik.

ummimon

Sebenarnya I am afraid if I don't have the strenght to face the truth tho I feel I do at the moment.
To accept the fact that there's something wrong with my son pun it took me quite a while. After a while we decided to seek help from experts.
I believe everthing happens for a reason kan.
