Eileen RE: teeth grinding and food allergies

[Guest guest]

Hi, Eileen,

Did you know that Unlocking Autism is trying to match displaced families

with housing? www.unlockingautism.org Although it sounds as if you are

already fortunate to have someplace safe to stay. Do you give your daughter

the yogurt?
