  1. Hello again, I was trawling the internet, as you do, and came across "aspire", a site giving support to those who have a member with asperger syndrome in the family in Eire. In the section that talks about autism, there is another section entitled AS and diet. It makes interesting reading and takes the debate a little further. The website address is www.aspire.irl.org/diet.htm Susan
  2. Hello, My son, who is now 13 and autistic, has epilepsy. I noticed he had more fits after weekends when he spent all his time drinking milk and eating yogurts. He went on to a gfcf diet two and a half years ago. It was very hard work at first but it has made a significant change to his epilepsy in that his fits have significantly decreased. I don't honestly think it has made any difference to how his autism affects him, he was never troubled with gut problems of any sort, but I know of many parents who say the change in diet has made a big difference to the behaviour of their children. You have to prepare yourself for starting this with your child as initially it is very hard work, but so many of the supermarkets are now more geared up to gfcf foods. I use Sainsbury and Asda - I live in Leeds - and there is a brilliant health food shop not too far from us. I have to admit that if I didn't get DLA for Joseph I probably wouldn't be able to afford it. Bye for now, Susan
