"There's nothing you can do, Ma'am."

What kind of health professional gives THAT advice?  Quite a few in my life!  My son was diagnosed with Autism in 2004 (age 3.5 yrs) after 18 months of scrambling to learn why he stopped talking, stopped playing and stopped listening.  My search quickly led me to the GFCF diet, DAN! and biomedical intervention, all along being discouraged by doctor after doctor that what I was now following was simply garbage distributed to take advantage of desperate parents.  What a shame; and how fun it has been to prove them absolutely, 100%, unequivocally WRONG!  I can see recovery...

My name is Pam.  I am a mom of 3 and a wife to only 1.  My youngest, Ian, is on the Autism Spectrum.  Although I wish he never developed Autism, my son's journey has changed me in so many positive ways:  I am more compassionate, my famiy lives a clean and healthy lifestyle and the fire is back in my eyes.  It is no longer simply about me.

I'd love to tell you that my life is full of things other than Autism, but at this point that is fantasy.  I do enjoy cooking, physical activity, helping run an inner city food pantry and promoting Environmental Awareness whenever possible.  I should spend less time on the computer and more time interacting with 4 dimensional human beings, but I'm working on that...
