Guest guest Posted April 15, 2001 Report Share Posted April 15, 2001 Hi all, I am a little behind on keeping up on these posts but I just read about someone asking if there was a website on kids who benefit from the diet who are not autistic and I would be interested also. My son is not autistic . He has had severe behavioral problems, excema, speech apraxia and some processing issues and fine motor skill problems. I don't know what he is, my guess is perhaps on the spectrum? I had his peptides tested and he was very high on gluten and casein so I started the diet 3 months ago. His behavior improved tremendously! His excema cleared up and there is slight improvement in the other areas. Do non autistic kids have high peptides or maybe he is somewhat autistic? If I had him diagnosed now he wouldn't seem as bad as he was. In the past I couldn't even get him into a doctors office at all. Just wondering if anyone else has a kid like mine.Thanks.

Your son sounds a lot like mine, and he's mildly autistic. He is turning five in 3 weeks and has done incredibly well on the diet. We've been doing the diet for 18 months now, and the biggest area of improvement has been behavior. Also, at his worst he was considered 14 months language delayed and apraxic. He was just tested last week and he is now 50th percentile for his age group. The strangest part is that his utterance length is above average for his age group. For us, this is a huge improvement. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
