Off subject-please do not be offended

[Guest guest]

We have one beautiful son who is 3 and Autistic. Since we have put

him on this diet 4 months ago a miracle has occurred right in front

of our eyes. He is so much improved I sometimes forget there are

problems. That is until they creep up, like his obsession with

destroying my carpet with paint, glue, rice, dirt, toothpaste, ect.

We met with a research scientist who will be including us in a

genetic study, not soon enough to help us buy hopefully will help

others. Leading up to my question, she said that the fact that I had

epilepsy as a child, am dyslexic, have auto immune problems,and my

husband is slightly obsessive compulsive means that we have a good

chance of not having a " normal " child. I even hate to use that word

I use it for lack of a better one. Anyway, I desperately want

another child but reading all the research of all the things that can

happen and go wrong and having a child with serious issues as it is I

wonder if I am crazy. I noticed alot of you have more than one. How

did you make that decision. Weren't you afraid? It is not like when

we got pregnant with the first and really thought nothing could go

wrong now all I can think about is what can go wrong. I wonder how

you all worked through it. I hope that this post does not offend

anyone. I just did not know where or who to ask and really felt like

you all could help me. If you are offended, I am sorry. I ask out

of isolation.
