I wonder if I should show up at the conference with copies of BTVC

and some success stories from Pecanbread to stir things up? 8-o

My first Vancouver support group meeting on November 4 had one person

in attendance...me :-|. I think I'll open it up to beginners or

anyone interested in learning about the diet (but not debating it). I

still think there must be at least a few other people around here who

are doing it! I'll keep holding them the first Saturday of the month,

and word should spread around. I do have five members on the

scdvancouver yahoogroup now though.

Since I don't have autistic kids, I'm a little intimidated about

introducing the concept to Vancouver's autism community. Through a

friend, I've introduced the idea to a Mom with a 10yo dd with ASD,

but it's just too daunting for her. She's a single Mom now too (sure

is a stress on a marriage) with a very limited income.

Are there any SCD experts who speak at conferences who want to visit

Vancouver in March? I'm sure I can find a spot for you to sleep at my

place if you want to pay your way to get here! And I live downtown, a

15 minute walk down the street from the Hyatt Regency where the

conference takes place :)

Speaker Spotlight for Autism Vancouver Biennial Congress 2007

Autism Vancouver Biennial Congress 2007, March 1-4, 2007, has

assembled leading experts on autism spectrum disorders, with

presenters from England, Canada, and the United States. Speakers will

focus on ways to improve the quality of life for the affected

individuals and their families/caregivers by conducting presentations

in the areas of educational and biomedical interventions, research,

adjunct therapies, diet and nutrition, and family issues.

Speakers include Dr. Temple Grandin, Dr. Wakefield, Dr. Jeff

Bradstreet, Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, Dr.

DeMio, Dr. Shore, Kenitz, Dr.

Underwood, Dr. Barry Prizant, Stan Kurtz, Dr. Diane Twachtman-Cullen,

Dr. Bolick, Dr. Shaw, and plus more experts in the

field of autism.

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet will present, " Recovery is Possible: Using

Biomarkers to Determine the Best Clinical Therapies, " Saturday, March

3rd at 8:00 am - 9:30 am. For the entire schedule, click here.

Dr. Bradstreet has published landmark studies with regard to the role

of mercury and measles virus in autism, such as A Case Control Study

of Mercury Burden in Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders,

published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, as well

as speaking before Congress and the Institute of Medicine. His 11-

year old son, , is recovering from autism. Dr. Bradstreet is

the founder of a special school for children with autism that

encompasses biological, behavioral, sensory, auditory and speech

therapies into a combined program.

Dr. Temple Grandin's keynote presentation is Saturday, March 3rd at

11:00 am - 12:30 pm. For the entire schedule, click here.

Dr. Temple Grandin is inarguably the most accomplished and well-known

adult with autism in the world. Dr. Grandin has become a prominent

author and speaker on the subject of autism because " I have read

enough to know that there are still many parents, and, yes,

professionals, too, who believe that 'once autistic, always

autistic.' This dictum has meant sad and sorry lives for many

children diagnosed, as I was in early life, as autistic. To these

people, it is incomprehensible that the characteristics of autism can

be modified and controlled. However, I feel strongly that I am living

proof that they can. "
