Age of Autism

Dr. Bernard Rimland was a true hero in my book and an amazing asset to the autism community!

I ♥ chelation!

I'm going to hibernate under a pile of leaves like a little woodland creature (after reading AOA).

Wahoo! Kim, Thanks for the chance to share Ronan's story.

How I wish you all had been around when my son was small. He is now in his early 40's, but the problems are still there!

S.O.S need help. My a.s.d. son's dad hired a lawyer and is trying to get sole legal custody and emergency custody of my son saying he is under fed and malnourished on gf cf & soy free diet and I caused his autism!!! Advice, Lawyer or anything else helpful. Thank you. Love & Light!

I know that is so correct Jennifer Boudreaux this is crazy we listen to Doctor's and the Goverment and look what happens to our babies!

Spread this as much as you can! This is sooo bad. I hope she will recover!

My son had the terrible diarrhea and constipation also before the GFCF diet. It was like a miracle for his behavior, focus, and bowel issues! We did 100% GFCF for 20 months, and then decided to see if he could handle the gluten and casein again, and weaned him off. He was ok for the first 3 weeks or so, and then it was ALL downhill. His eye ... Read Morecontact drills went from 100% down to 0-30%. All his ABA scores dropped. All the bowel issues came back. We then tried dietary enzymes, and they helped a little, but my son just can't tolerate that much gluten and casein, even with enzymes. Now we have him on a gluten free, casein free diet, EXCEPT he is allowed one meal a day that has some gluten or casein, and we give him TriEnza enzymes from Houston Enzymes. He's coming back to me again! All his scores are up, and he is stimming much less, and no bowel issues. GFCF is expensive...but if it helps your child, it is SO worth it. Give it 3 months when you try it.... we saw HUGE changes in our son, and so did all of his teachers.

My son had pale, yeasty diarrhea for 2.5 years straight!!! He is in center-based ABA full time so following GFCF would be near impossible for us, so we ended up putting him on digestive enzymes... within a matter of a few short weeks his diarrhea was GONE. Six months later, with the help of a rotation diet and an enzyme, he has had normal, bpwle ... Read Moremovements ever since. My husband laughs because everytime my son poops I exclaim "Oh, what cute little logs!" but after years of unspeakable diaper blow-outs, I just can't help myself!

Great post!

Awesome piece!

I'm there!

We also have our group on FB CRUISE 4 AUTISM if you want the travel information. Have a great day everyone!

I just can't wrap my head around my 3 girls on the open sea... Though I've heard cruises are great for kids - even our kids. I'm not sure I'd ever relax though! Can you tell us more about your cruises? KIM

I have a friend whose daughter had this vaccine, instead of preventing Chicken Pox, now she gets Chicken Pox a lot.

And I have heard from other parents, who experience the same thing with their children.

Thank you! I've shared this....

Fantastic as always, JB!

as a sped teacher i hear too many times parent's say that their child's autism was a direct result of the mmr shot. i truely believe that it was. something "triggered" autism to develop and take the life from their child. my son did not have the mmr on schedule and drs were upset with MY choice. my child does not have autism. but i feel the pain of... Read More every parent of every autistic child that believes they did something to harm them. what could b a worse feeling? im sure the makers of the mmr and the md's and the cdc dont have those feelings u are burdened with. best of luck with ur beautiful children...

My daughter had the mmr and as a result from the vaccine she had a siezure at 3 months. I was so scared. Thank god she did not have any permanent damage.I always wonder what could have been. Some of my friends children did have the same vaccine and developed neurological problems.

You go, girls! We have to be dangerous!

I think I hear Peter Tosh, too.
