I think this is SO true. As an aspie I find that if I stick to a high protein and low carb diet with omega acid supplementems I feel ten times better and more energtic. Basically, meat,fish,fruit,veggies and nuts and thats it.

Do they make a children's supplement? I need to work on getting Alec to eat that type of diet. We believe he has a corn allergy or intolerance and notice significant language and focus problems when he has corn or corn products. He will not eat hardly any foods at all!

I use a liquid vitamin from my local health food store. It's called: Liquid Health Children's Multiple" It is sugar free and also has digestive enzymes.

My son is 4 & 1/2 and was diagnosed at 3 & 1/2 with PDD-NOS. I was relieved at first because we had been trying to figure him out for two years. Then the depression set in. Now, I've hit that spot that tells me I'm doing everything I can...but I don't trust it. I still think there is more than just OT & Speech.

So, the research and digging continue...

Keep at it. You and your husband are making a difference in one person's life...and he's the one who matters most.

There is a wonderful book called "Good Music, Brighter Children" that has some really interesting info that might be helpful to you. Written by a woman who has done lots of brain research (whose name I can't think of right now =(...)

I teach music to some autistic children in a public school (altho I have no specific training). We have seen amazing response in our kids. Many can match pitch now and pick out a familiar melody on a xylophone.

I'm hoping this book will give you more tools to use in your quest.
