Just saw a blurb on Today Show about Autism Speaks Celebrity game. Made me think of this thread.
Jenny McCarthy recently appeared on Oprah to promote the gluten-free/casein-free diet for people with autism--especially children. I talk regularly with moms of autistic/aspergers children and it really does make a difference. Not quite the "cure" Jenny makes it out to be, but it can be remarkable.
I hope any and all of you who know someone affected by autism can promote the gluten-free/casein-free diet. It can be a lot of work and expensive as well---but well worth it.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck who was on the same episode is also gluten-free. She has the same condition as my daughter.

This type of diet can really help a lot of things. I have to have a dairy free diet which also includes casien for my son. He is just three months old and I nurse him so any dairy in my diet makes it rough on his tummy. this also happened with my first son. It can be tough, but I just had to chime in because no matter what the problem big or small the kids are worth it and I think a lot of people think that this type of diet is just a bunch of nonsense. It may not work for everyone and it is not an end and be all, but it's a good start.

People think I'm a nut when I suggest it--like it's too hard to do and too much trouble--but if you're sick or your child is sick, it's not that crazy.
We're so conditioned to think that we need a doctor to give us medicine so we feel better and that is just not the case.
