QUESTIONS:
What were you doing five years ago?
Five years ago I was a full-time stay at home mom (who never stayed home). I had a 1 year old,3 year old and 6-7 year old. I was in the throws of a rigorous therapy schedule with my son which required driving back and forth 3-6 times weekly, a daughter in pre-competition gymnastics who had to be at the gym at least twice weekly. Basically I lived in my car, lived breathed and immersed myself in autism and related education, put my son on a gluten and casein free died which required cooking ridiculous amounts of food and basically making my hobby "find the thing boy-child will eat" and regularly reminded myself to breath in and out. Now, right before this goes into sounding like a complete bitchfest, I must say, this was one of the most fulfilling times in my life. I think because looking back I see how much purpose I had.

it's amazing that so many of us who name procrastination as a bad habit were able to complete this little exercise so quickly : )
In five years, you are going to look back at this time as one of the best in your life because you were able to be so flexible.

Well, I'm all in for the Autism support..I have a son with Asperger's, and have been to enough Child Support group meetings to run them until I die. I even have credentials to prove it.
SO..
Did the cassien diet thing work? Wondering????
The cassien/gluten free diet worked at the time, however, my son never "broadened his pallet" as all the books said he would. So he lost weight (he's a stick already) and after 1 1/2 years I gave it up. I will say that even though I saw a difference in him when I first started the diet, when I took him off of the diet I did not see a big change. I have read many stories about this diet being life-changing for some kids, which leads me to believe that it works in a case-by-case kind of way.
I'm done, go see for yourself.
2. Blog for the first time in 2 months.
HOORAY!
