Help for 8 yo w/Aspergers/ADD/ADHD

[Guest guest]

Aloha, listmates,

I've just heard from someone in Ohio who has an 8yo girl dx'd

Aspergers/ADD/ADHD. Very stressed & withdrawn. Loves white bread & potatoes,

healthy, high pain threshold. Currently not receiving any interventions

except some help at school. Of course, I talked about gfcf, secretin, etc.;

however, my son (9, Asp/NLD) had clear physical problems, including the

classically autistic GI problems, unlike this girl.

The family queries whether our interventions would help their girl. We are

continuing the discussion by email. I'm recommending that they look at the

Feingold site, gfcfdiet, megson.com, and S's book. While hoping for

help, they are understandably suspicious, having never heard about medical &

dietary intervention before (except ritatlin##*$*!!), and dread the thought of

a difficult diet w/a strong-willed child.

This is my request for help: can anyone from Ohio let me know about

gfcf/biomed/etc support groups in that state. And, is anyone on this list in

a similar situation who could email me privately about their experience w/gfcf

for an older Aspie child? I would like to forward the responses,

good/bad/indifferent, without your names & private email addresses, with your

permission & if ok'd by you.

Thanks,

from Kauai
