I agree with this theory and I have decided to restrict gluten and casein over the holidays to see what further improvements we might get. We have " wow! " days and then we have " somewhat better days " , so I know there is further restriction we need to do. Also, I have been wondering . . . do you have any feeling as to why we don't see more parents of older ASD kids joining the list or asking about enzymes, etc.? Are these people just not getting the information and why not? Or, have they given up to some extent? By the way, I copied the Seven Month Summary and sent it in to Josh's teacher today. I just casually mentioned that it was her copy to keep. After her comment yesterday (Is Josh on meds? He's so calm this week!), maybe she'll read it over the weekend. Thanks for all you do on this list. That summary report is fantastic! Celia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
