I've spent weeks trying to find evidence to show to several people that Autism is not caused by monosodium glutamate, weeks that could have been better spent doing other things. <br /><br />But when people are frightened and don't understand a medical disorder, they reach for whatever they can get their hands on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05168157449934172486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33777527.post-2224789203191339872010-04-04T17:46:14.295-06:002010-04-04T17:46:14.295-06:00Finally a voice of reason.

Considering this child spent two years in eating therapy in order to get him to eat anything I am not going to put him on a restrictive diet. Have you looked into floortime? I feel that this is the therapy that has had the best results for my son. I have a degree in special education, which I earned in the late 8's. The special education field has always had people offering a slew of questionalbe therapies There was a time when you could suppposedly cure ADHD by eliminating red dye from a childs diet or have childen with dyslexia crawl to improve reading ability. The theory was that if a child had never crawled then they would be dyslexic and you had to have them crawl in order to cure them.Kathynoreply@blogger.com
