Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi and thanks for the information I've been given so far - think I need some feedback from Dr Yeoh to a few questions I've sent her and perhaps to talk to those listers with some experience of SCD off list: would that be OK (Sophie, Lorna and anyone else!)? Especially concerned about number of eggs in many of the recipes ... Re Yorkshire members: I know a few people doing biomed to varying degrees, mainly through my position as link worker at AWARE - Airedale and Wharfedale Autism Resource http:/www.awareuk.org Please feel free to get in touch - we're a parent support group in Airedale and Wharfedale and a pretty friendly lot! BTW, my son was also on a very successful ABA programme for several years with Autism Partnership, Leeds, in case anyone is interested in going down that route, too.
