Boy, six years old, autism.The problems started after a BMR vaccination. His speech is like that of a two-year-old, he cannot speak for himself because it causes discomfort. But he knows many names.
Physically, he is strong. He does everything with sports, ball games, can take long walks and loves swings. He is constantly on the move.
He is also sometimes obsessive, for instance in the game of playing sticks.
He regularly has inflammation and allergic rhinitis.
His mother had vaginal inflammation during his pregnancy. She dreamt of spiders and feared miscarriage. She had many struggles with her husband and felt rejected and abandoned. She did not tell anyone due to shame. She felt completely left alone.
After giving birth, she suffered postnatal depression. She was afraid of injuring her baby, for example by throwing coffee over him or squeezing him. These thoughts were debilitating for her, especially as she is very sensitive to human suffering. She prayed regularly that these thoughts would disappear.
The boy’s parents divorced when he was four years old. His mother was very kind and tried to keep the relationship good but his father was very easily irritated and explosively angry.
He himself became much more aggressive after the divorce.
His nature is kind, emotional and empathetic. He likes to be held and kissed.
He is sensitive to noise especially from discussions. But also sensitive to sounds of an ambulance or fire engine. He cannot take criticism well, then he becomes surly, and can even have moderate outbursts. But then he always felt guilty. Outbursts always come when he is insecure or in pain.
He can also be obsessive, for example by setting up letters in following order.
He is jealous of his sister when his mother gives her more attention than him.
His mother never knew her father, and thus felt rejected.

His mother writes:“Pregnancy
Before pregnancy I had repeatedly a dream about a spider, huge, grey, hairy spider that was crawling on the walls or the ceiling in my room. When I looked at the images of spiders it looks like the chilean tarantula spider, Grammostola rosea, just bigger. It was terrifying for me as I have arachnophobia.
During the whole pregnancy I was suffering from vaginal fungal, yeast infection that lasted until the delivery. In 11th week of pregnancy, I had a bleeding and high risk of miscarriage. The doctors prescribed Lutein (progesterone).
II. Traumas during the pregnancy
Between 7 and 8th month of pregnancy I had a huge fight with my husband. He said to me “I regret I made you pregnant”. After the argument I felt rejected, fearful and angry. I was crying and felt very lonely. I was thinking that I can’t even share this with anyone. This argument cut me very deep and it was difficult for me to handle. I felt I was left alone with everything and that my child is unwanted, like an uninvited guest in this world. My husband reaction on the news that I’m pregnant was also not what I would have expected. He said that he needed time to process this news and the rest of the evening he stayed in the garage. I haven’t noticed any sign of joy in his reaction, I saw fear in him. Although my husband’s reaction was not what I would have expected, I was very happy about this pregnancy. For me my child is very much wanted and awaited. My husband reactions and behaviour gave me a lot of stress and anxiety instead of joy and happiness. My husband said that he wanted to have kids, but in my opinion he was never really emotionally ready for it.

III LabourI gave birth in the 40th week of pregnancy. The birth was induced. In hospital they decided to give me Oxytocin as I was already after the due date but still there was no sign of contractions and the cervix was not dilated. When I was getting the oxytocin the nurse registered that the baby’s pulse has dropped rapidly and so the hospital rushed me for the Caesarian section. After be baby was out of the womb it turned out the waters were already green and the umbilical cord was too short. He weighted 3190 grmas and was described as undernourished. He received 10 points in Apgar score. After birth he cried, his skin had a normal colour. There was no skin to skin contact with me, he was taken away for a check-up. I could only have a quick look on him. They brought him back to me few hours later and I was told that his state is good.
Within days after he was born ,the doctors diagnosed him with bradycardia and he had a higher CRP, and a cyst in his head. It was a 3,5 mm cyst in septum pellucidum. His sucking reflex was disordered; he had problems with latching on and holding the nipple. He was crying a lot and twisting his body. I was afraid will give birth to a dead baby.

IV After birth traumaI was suffering from anxiety, I was afraid that my child is sick and I was stuck with the thoughts like “how am I going to say this to my family and friends”. The night after giving birth I had a strange dream about a horse with head and front legs locked in a pillory, his back part was sitting on the ground. The horse looked unconscious or dead to me. After waking up from this dream I was rigid from fear that the baby is sick and wondered how am I going to tell that to my husband and the family.

In the evening he falls asleep fast, it’s a shallow sleep, he moves and takes the cover off, sometimes he speaks or laughs in his sleep. He doesn’t like to sleep alone. At night he checks if someone sleeps next to him and wants to be cuddled up to someone. Sometimes he pulls my hand to wrap around him or he wraps his arm around me.
· Diet: food allergy: gluten, dairy, carrots, coconut, onion, garlic, eggs, almonds. Diet without the allergens. He like sweet taste. He is not a fussy eater and his diet is diversified. He likes soups, pancakes, crumpets with apples, potato rosti, courgette rosti, meat and side salads. He enjoys vegetables in a soup, but he doesn’t like raw vegetables like tomato, cucumber, radishes. He is not a big fan of fruits, except grated apple or mashed banana from time to time. But he likes fruit juices. He never liked milk. He rejected the formula milk at the age of a year and a half.
During meals he never sits still, he lies partly on the floor or he wiggles with his legs up in the air. He is constantly on the move: he pulls the table cloth, plays with his cloths etc. When he eats sandwiches he will take a bite from each sandwich and then puts one on the plate, and take a bite from another one and then he returns to the first one. He make a mess on his plate.

VI. Medical historyHe was a calm, happy baby with good connection to his family, other people and surroundings. From the beginning he was fed with the formula milk, despite my efforts for breast-feed, it never worked. Until the age of six months I haven’t noticed anything worrying in his behaviour.
He was vaccinated according to the polish vaccine calendar. At the age of seven months he was certified as healthy by a doctor and received pneumococcus vaccine. After about four hours after the jab he was very weak, apathetic, he had a runny nose, then cough and then fever above 39 C. He was feverish the whole night. I was giving him paracetamol and Ibuprofen to lower the temperature. The next day we went back to the doctor, who gave him a nose spray and some cough syrup. That was his first infection, but since that day he was getting more and more infections, especially during the autumn and winter time. After this vaccination he was developing much slower, but I didn’t notice that much at this stage. He was still calm and was in touch with us. But some anxieties started: he was afraid of putting a bib, and of noises like a birthday trumpet or vacuum cleaner. I was thinking that this is normal and I wasn’t connecting it with the vaccination.
At the age of thirteen months he got his MMR vaccine. After this jab he had problems with walking. He was tripping, as if he didn’t have strength in his legs to stand on them. This symptom passed after 2 or 3 days. But I realised that he was not reacting when I was calling him, he didn’t want reacting when I was calling him, he didn’t wanted to look at me, he acted strangely by placing objects from one side to another without any reason. He was opening and closing the bathroom and wardrobe doors. After 3 weeks he had a strong viral infection, the doctor gave him cough syrup and nasal spray, but the infection was worsening from day to day. He started to vomit, had diarrhoea and ear pain. He was pulling his ear and cried. The doctor gave him antibiotics and electrolytes.
This all was happening within a month from the MMR vaccine. After this infection another strange behaviour showed up. He was putting the toys in rows, he stopped lost his interest in books, which he used to liked before. He no longer looked at what was pointed out to him. He lost interest in his surroundings and he moved into his own world. Soon he was afraid of strangers, running and hiding in his room if someone was visiting us. We could see his dissatisfaction and panic. He wanted to be carried out of the room, away from the visitors except those people he knew before. He was afraid of family visits, he wanted to he held very tight. He was afraid of shops too. Before the vaccination there was no such as behaviour. Two months before the MMR jab he played with all the kids at his birthday party. He was a smiley, confident and open child. After vaccine he has changed completely.

NowAt the moment he is a bit more flexible than he was before. He is no longer afraid of visiting new places and having visitors at home. Sometimes he interacts with people, his sits on their laps, cuddles, gives a hug and plays. But when he has enough he just go to his room. He like his therapists. He is liked in the nursery and praised for being smart, his good behaviour, and for not making conflicts. He is very likeable, emotional, playful and smiley, and other kids like him too. He likes having the eye contact with others and he likes to be seen.
He likes cuddles, being touched, tickled and creasing. He likes to be carried piggy back. He likes playing with sand and stones. That’s his favourite ways to play with parents and grandma. He gets more and more in relation, and interacts with his two years younger sister, who likes to copy him. They dance together, hug or sometimes even gives her a kiss on the cheek. He checks to see if she is okay when she cries, and he calms her down like he would knew that she is okay now. He is a smart and very emotional child. He is empathetic and sensitive.
He has a big need of to be noticed, praised, acknowledged. He doesn’t take criticism very well. He does as he is told.
He likes having someone is next to him. He gets cross when he is alone for a bit longer. It makes him draw the attention, but in a naughty way: he screams, throw some objects or pushes them with a chair. He makes strange body movements like twitching, wrenching. He is open for compromise, when his sister wants a toy he will give it back to her eventually.
In the nursery he does what he is told to do. But when he gets back home he needs to decompress. Sometimes he is nervous, irritated and needs to jump for a while. He has a high need of stimulation; he jumps and he waves with sticks, like crayon or wooden spoons. During this stimulation he says many words but it’s all echolalia.
