Re: PDD NOS (for ALICE)

Hi Alice, I know the initial awareness of a diagnosis is rough and you

went through that a year ago, so looking into this diet is a good thing.

Have you read the book " Special Diets for Special Kids " by ?

It's a great book and explains the diet and the reasoning behind it and

some great recipes in it too.

I started this diet for my child when he was 5, he is 6 now and doing

fine with the diet. I am NOT a believer in meds either and I only use a

chewable multivitamin and a chewable calcium supplement. I figured the

diet was something I would try, cause it can't hurt, but all is well so I

am keeping my son on this diet. I didnot do any testing either but

allergy tests at an allergy place. I know the diet can only work if I am

not putting foods into him that he is allergic to.

My son was diagnosed pdd-nos at the age of 14 months and had 6 months of

a small home early intervention program, but then went right into a

strict ABA program at a school when he was only 22 or 23 months old. Is

your home program using the ABA method? If you know nothing on this

there is a good book I got , edited by Maurice, and the title

is " Behavioral Intervention for Young Children with Autism " , and it

explains the idea behind ABA, how it works, they supply the whole format

and lessons for teaching the ABA, references for material, examples of

how to keep data, etc. Its a must have book for parents whose children

are young and do ABA>

No one can tell you what to expect in the future , as each child is

different, but I firmly believe in alot of good ABA teaching and now also

this GFCF Diet. If the diet doesn't work its something you can always

stop, but if you do decide to try it, give it a fair amount of time to

see results, once you are 100% gfcf.

Good luck in your choices
