[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 101173, member: 1991"] Just to clarify, MWM - I also do not believe that ANYTHING cures autism; not diets, vitamins, medication, therapy - nothing. But in some cases (the lucky few) there can be issues connecting to food sensitivity, a need for certain vitamins, problems which can be reduced with some therapies - which can make autism WORSE. Treat the problem (if possible) and maybe make it easier for an autistic child to "pretend to be normal" as difficult child 3 calls it. Once you fix everything fixable, you will still have an autistic child, but if anything WAS able to be improved, maybe that child will be coping a little better. In which case, you will be too. Didn't work for us, though. We have just worked things out for ourselves. And THAT doesn't work for everybody, either. Not always possible. We just do what we can. So don't beat yourself up over things you can't fix. Just worry about what you CAN work with! Marg [/QUOTE]
