Thanks to Jenny McCarthy and Oprah, there has been much media coverage on the link between diet and the symptoms of Autism. Wisconsin mom, Margie Reichwald, has developed a cookbook for children who have Autism with recipes that are gluten, casein (dairy) and soy free and that have helped her son tremendously! Here is a link to Margie's inspiring segment on the Morning Blend. Margie says, "While my son is not cured of Autism, a cloud has lifted and he is on the path to recovery. His journey with Autism is a lot less of a struggle since we removed the allergens from his diet." I got a lump in my throat when Margie talked about the first time her son touched her cheek lovingly and said, "Mommy". Anything with the potential to ease the struggles of a child with a disability is welcome in my book! Thank you Margie!

AND for even more info on the link between Autism and diet:
This Wednesday on October 15th at 6:00, there will be a panel discussion on the Feingold Diet, as well as gluten, casein and soy free diets at the Parent's Place, 1570 E. Moreland Blvd., in Waukesha.

Information is power and the more informed we are the better we can help our kids!
