Interesting, Mimi.

Elaine showed me the old video about the poor mothers in the 1950's who were

blamed

for their children's autism and dubbed " Refrigerator Moms. " I was horrified. Was

it Bruno

Bettleheim who propagated this dastardly accusation?

Now and again when reading our list I have to remind myself that it's main

function is

about Autism and the SCD diet. We sometimes tend to wander a bit to far afield.

I do not think either s occasional abrasiveness ( he says what he means

and means

what he says) or female physiology is very relevant . It's the diet protocols

and the

questions and suggestions this generates that I like to focus on.
