[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 91370, member: 1550"] Just a comment. Jenny McCarthy's son is five. She in no way can say he is "cured." Five is too young, but it's also an age when autistic kids improve by leaps and bounds (mine did). That show made me roll my eyes. in my opinion she has many challenges down the road for her son. As they get older, without interventions, they show different challenges, even after they learn to talk. I think it's wisest to stick with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions. If you want to do a diet too, it can't hurt, but I think it can hurt A LOT to decide your child is cured and only do a diet and cut out the therapies. This is for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) only--my son does not need medications. However, I strongly believe that some kids do. And some adults. I have bipolar. I tried the natural route and it did nothing for me, kept spiraling out of control. I can live a rich, fulfilling life with medications, but not without them. Matter of choice, but I wouldn't close my mind about the possible need for medication. But, yes, go slow--get a second opinion first. [/QUOTE]
