Just one little goldfish

[Guest guest]

My 2 year old autistic son has been on the diet for 3 weeks. On

Friday I took him for the first time to child care during my older

kids homeschool academy. I gave them a special snack and instructed

them that if they do not have the ability to watch him so he does not

get another kids snack, to call me to stay with him at that time.

They did not call. When I picked him up they said he ate his snack

only. As I turned to leave I smelled his diaper. I recognize that

horrid smell. I went back and asked if there was any possibility

that he got a goldfish when she wasn't looking. She said " Oh yeah, I

was going to tell you that he did manage to get one " . I told her I

already knew according to his diaper. During the drive home he

started to cry (he is usually quite happy). For about the next 2

hours he cried and cried with rage.

Now for my question. I have heard it said that it takes about 6

months to get the gluten out of the system. When there is an

infraction such as this is it like going back to step one or just a

little step backwards. Are the benefits of the first 3 weeks

cancelled? Will I ever be able to have my son with a group of kids

unless he is strapped to a chair? Is his determination to get other

kids snack due to his addiction which will lessen with time? Why

won't people tell the truth the first time?
