Hi Laurie and all,

I have had a similar experience with Graham, who is 6 and dx is probable

Asperger's syndrome. He has done very well on the diet, with a minimum of

cravings and complaining. At first, he had a couple of upsets about no candy

and no bread, but ever since then he is great. He tells his teachers and

therapists, as well as my parents, my sister and all who come in contact with

him what he can and can't eat. He impresses everyone by how well he seems to

understand what he is allowed to have. The only thing I really told him was not

to eat anything without checking with me first. He took this totally to heart

(little aspie that he is, smile) and is really great about it. I haven't seen

huge changes in him, but the little improvements seem to add up. The greatest

thing is he is eating healthier and has gained around 4 lbs since starting the

diet, which for him is AMAZING, since he has always been so skinny. So, I feel

great about him being on the diet and I tell everyone about it. I thank all of

you for your knowledge and encouragement...especially you, , who really

encouraged me in the beginning to try the diet.

Fondly,

J--mom to Graham(6 yrs, probable Asperger's syndrome) and Hayley (10

yrs, mild ADD)
