My daughter, who is now 4 years and 9 months old, had been severely withdrawn and resistant to social interactions before we started the treatment. She wouldn’t let anyone near her, not even family members. Simple tasks like brushing her hair or washing her hands would result in meltdowns that would last for hours.However, after completing the first course of treatment, the transformation in her behavior has been incredible. She now invites her grandparents to dance with her and greets them with hugs. She’s become much more affectionate and emotionally expressive, something we had never seen before. She is now able to follow instructions, like washing her hands or sitting still during mealtime, and even lets me wash her hair without resistance. These changes have brought so much joy to our family, and we feel like we’re finally seeing our daughter for the first time.
My daughter is 5.5 years old and is undergoing her 8th course of treatment. Her behavior and understanding have improved remarkably. Every day, there’s something new, sometimes so subtle that we don’t recognize it right away. But when we reflect, we realize it’s another victory—a new milestone. After starting treatment, we’ve only moved forward, even if it’s in small steps, and that in itself is progress.Negotiating with her has become easier, which in itself is a huge achievement. She’s more emotionally expressive—she shows joy and care. She covers me with a blanket, gives me kisses, and sits with me to watch TV. She’s developed a strong bond with us, giving me her phone when it’s bedtime without a tantrum and showing affection by asking for a massage. Her understanding is growing, and she responds to commands, uses gestures to communicate, and is developing more independence. We’ve come such a long way, and I couldn’t be prouder of the progress she’s made. This treatment has changed our lives in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
