Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 Tonight my NT 8th Grader received a 1st place at her Middle-school science fair and we went out to dinner to celebrate...The restaurant was very noisy, crowded, lots of bright lights, music, etc., ( I was over stimulated!) and (2.5 years, ASD, GFCF for 7 months) did great! When the waitress approached to take orders and spoke to him, he glanced at her, reached out to touch her tray and tolerated her talking to him. He managed to stay entertained while waiting for the dinner, ate his food from home happily and just generally acted like a normal kid (well, maybe a bit better)! Just 2 or 3 months ago he would have been losing it (screaming, biting, trying to get to my breasts to nurse) over the sensory overload and the presence of so many people! Wow, now I really can see the improvement that has been so gradual I don't notice it every day. PS... The science fair project was about the effects of SerenAid on wheat Gluten and will be going to the SanDiego County wide Science Fair. The background research included info on Autism, Celiac disease and the GFCF diet. She even mentioned this group in her acknowledgment! Thanks for letting me brag a bit!
