Putting Your Kids First

There has been a thread going on…in an autism group that I rarely participate in, yet get a few emails a week that are  posted…usually the posts are people looking for docs or therapists. This occurrence that I am about to tell you occurred before, too, when I would write on OASIS’ site.

My goal that you ALL know is to help families one autistic ( or ADHD, Celiac, other disorders) at a time by helping them with diet information, answer questions, offering my FREE 4 page guide and so much more. It’s very confusing at first and people need help.

What really makes me SO angry is those who refuse to even TRY the diet. They put up a FRONT and YELL at me for trying to have them see that it CAN WORK! They tell me that I have only one opinion and it is NOT always RIGHT. They see zero reason to start it, investigate it, inquire about it or look into it.  It makes me so sad! Going GFCF and often soy Free and sometimes rice free, and/or corn free and/or yeast free and/ or sugar free, etc. makes ENOURMOUS changes in millions of children worldwide. I have helped families from all over the US, S. America, Canada, Caribbean, S. Africa, NZ, Australia, China, India, all over Europe and more…. and I am willing to continue to do this for anyone who needs my help!

My passion in life is to ALWAYS help others….it’s in my blood…it’s who I am. I cannot tell you all, those who have written to thank me and especially those who say the music to my ears, “Thanks to you (and others, too on the boards) my son can speak, thanks to you my son’s sensory issues have vanished, thanks to you my son’s poop is normal, thanks to you my son has no more meltdowns, thanks to you my son does not stim or bang his head, thanks to you my son sleeps well now”..ETC ETC ETC……These things warm my heart!

So many of you KNOW this DOES work and works well for SO MANY….stats say 65%-70% of kids on the spectrum have success.

Why or why won’t some people just TRY it to give their child all of the benefits in life that they can achieve? Were any of us thrilled to receive a dx of AUTISM for our beloved children? Doubtful!!!  But how many of us have searched and researched for help, for answers to make our kids more typical? Did we all think the diet sounded odd, strange, silly, impossible?? But ..did we persevere anyway??

Thanks for listening. So many blame me for being judgemental. I AM NOT. I just want people to try to help their kids and I want to help pave their path as best as I can. THANKS, I just needed to get this out!

Summer is flying by way too quickly…doesn’t it always…yet school seems to drag on!  Gas prices are hurting people’s vacation plans…which is a shame! We are doing some day trips and staying local swimming, library programs, museums, beach and watching a lot of movies. We got Netflix free for a month…so we are all taking turns queing up movies that we want to watch. I have become a HUGE Steve Carell fan!  Dan in Real Life was the BEST movie! He did great in Little Miss Sunshine, too. Very different part. He is a great actor…can do many different types of rolls. I am not a TV person..so I never saw him on the Office….guess I need to now.

Best part of summer is no homework. My son has so much of it, being in honors classes and it never ends!  So, having fun and doing educational things without having to do reports is just great!
