I wish every mom and dad here whose child has been helped would do the same.

i also think the doctors from the DAN Conference would contact Dr.

and Dr. Morrow the other doctors who commented on the ABC web link

about autism therapy. We have been overlooked too long.

I emailed abc as well, I think we all should. Maybe if a large number

of us do, they will do a story.

Thank you Becca.

I am hoping that some of the doctors from the DAN Conference will comment

on this as their word would also bear some authority.

I do need to reiterate that my message was in support of SCD. GF is mentioned

in the links on ABC but there is no

mention of SCD. The science of SCD restricts certain foods allowed on GF and

although we are both under the umbrella of dietary intervention, it is the

elimination of the disaccharides that makes SCD distinctive, unique and very

effective.

If you noticed, candy and cookies were used in ABA therapy to reinforce

behaviors.

We can assume they were not the sort we use for SCD.

SCD used with ABA therapy may have made a difference to the Augier family.

I wonder if they are even aware of SCD.

Sometimes I feel we are shouting a message from behind sound proof glass.
