Parents Emergency Room

Are You a Parent of Autistic Child?

                    ER   

"Once you get a diagnosis, you can't be a parent, you      have to be a case manager, an education specialist,     You've got to figure out the medical system. It's  overwhelming to think I have to advocate and navigate  the system. The level of stress is terrifying."

"It is only the Parents that care for the Parents. They are the only ones who are motivated to know it all, try it all.They pay for their education and for the research. They are the truly Autism Specialists.The rest is waste of time."

Why are you here?

conversation- Because you just heard the word” autism” or “autism something” or ADHD, or ADD or “developmental disorder’ or speech delay, learning disorder, PDD- NOS or you as a parent feel that “something is not quite all’ right with my kid”. You are scared, confused and in denial. You don’t know what to do, whom to turn to.

- You are told in writing and have seen some tests, met with the specialists, the pediatricians, the medical practitioners and they confirmed your suspicions. You child needs help and you want to be proactive, do something now.

- You have willing and compassionate team already working with you, but don’t see the expected results. You feel that there is something, you are missing part of the puzzle and you are short of ideas or information.

- Because you want answers and you want them now

- You are disappointed or disillusioned by the fake promises, false expectations and flawed advice, you want to take control and stay on top of the intervention.

- It is your child, you know him/her the best and you want to know and do what is best for them.

- You have joined parent’s groups and collected impressive amount of information about what works, however what worked so well for others doesn’t work for you.

- Because you can not find providers, therapists or are stack forever in waiting lists for services and while you wait, time is flying and your child is not progressing as fast as they could, if only you knew how to work with them, they will progress much faster.

- You understand that when fighting with childhood neurological disease or disorder TIME is your best friend and your worst foe!

- Because you have partial information about treatments or therapy , but you would like to know more before you decide on plan of action

- You realize that you are the only Health& Future advocate of your child and take this responsibility very seriously

- You don’t understand your child behavior and don’t know how to handle situation when one arouses

- Because your doctor wrote a complete medical protocol and you are so ready to start implementing it but it says “casein free, gluten free and sugar free diet’ yet the only thing your angel eats, if they eat at all is cereal with milk.

- Your child simply wont swallow the costly pills or capsules ( 2 X4 times X day) that you just bought instead of paying your mortgage

- You want someone to explain to you in plain language exactly what was the doctor said

- You want to know what and why you are giving “this” to your child

- You need to know what to expect when you start intervention - not the part you want to miss!!

- Because you can get all of this information, support, additional research and whatever else you might need here – at Autism Alternative.com

Testimonials

Milena Sideris is a parents advocate,  and practitioner in Phoenix, AZ who specializes in Autism Spectrum disorders. We have known each other for many years. She has been one of the instrumental people pointing me in the right direction to look for solutions for the treatment of AUtism Spectrum Disorders.

Milena s basically walking library on the topic, she knows pretty much everything that’s ever been said, proven or disproven that has to do with Autism. She  k now s the literature; she knows all the big heroes and their work in the field and all the fallen heroes as well. In the process she has developed her own supportive protocols and therapies, based on her extensive knowledge personal experience and expertise.

She works with me in the function of the patient advocate – I would do the early, kind of gross evaluation, pointing the child in the right direction, establish and write the treatment protocol then Milena takes over and guide the families through the ups and downs of treatment and interventions for the next few years and this has been a fantastic cooperation between us and one truly beneficial for the patients and their recovery. She is living, breathing encyclopedia on every topic related to neurological disorders such as ASD and developmental delays in children.

She is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met!

I have known Milena Sideris for a few years and  highly recommend her to anyone involved in Autism Spectrum Disorder( ASD). Milena's personal knowledge and understanding of ASD far surpasses anyone I have  ever come in contact with. She has medical knowledge greater then most doctors, and the dedication and passion that only a mother with an inflicted child could posses.

I have worked with her personally over the past years, and she has served as my trainer and mentor in understanding ASD. As a result, my ability to offer aid to families in need has drastically improved. I have also witnessed firsthand the benefit that children receive from even just an hour of her time. She is strongly intuitive, quick to action, and not afraid to put in all of her effort to help a child in need. Further, she knows exactly what is needed to be truly effective for children with special needs, the skill to train prospective therapists and providers, and the in depth understanding to revamp and revitalize stagnant intervention programs.
I strongly urge you to take advantage of her talent and can assure you that you will be impressed and pleased with the subsequent results.

Dear Milena,

You are my life saver, you taught me so much, and you came into my life just on time that I was so desperate.

I met Milena just on time; I was like “Oh! Thank God, help has arrived!” I was that desperate .Milena has helped me with a lot of things.

She was interested not only in my child but with our entire family and life. I really did not receive that much from any other person or professional until then and I was not aware that autism effects the whole family.She taught me a lot from  homeopathy, detoxification, chelation, to  how to build better immunity, through diets, allergy treatments, electromagnetic fields protection, getting rid of chronic infections, to even  how to settle the room of the child, how to put a child to sleep, how to teach my child to pay  attention and focus on a task, which of the educational and interventional  approaches are good for my daughter, how to remain calm and focused on treatments and lots of more,,,, that wont fit here if I attempt to write it all down. I really understood how wonderful she is when I met her and her totally recovered son.

Thank you Milena!
