I disagree tremendously with the negative review listed for this book. The author never implies the diet will work for everyone and is the sole therapeutic answer. In my opinion, if you are even THINKING of implementing a gluten-free, casein-free diet for your child, this book is a must. Notonly does the author provide a thorough review of the literature &studies done on relevant treatments for autism, & defines many of theterms so readily used, she offers a ton of GREAT, KID-FRIENDLY recipes(great for ANY kids that need to be dairy- and gluten-free, regardless ofthe reason). The author presents the information without bias, allowingthe reader to form their own conclusions whether the diet would be helpful. And while, yes, the diet may be difficult to implement (since casein andgluten are so pervasive in our foods), it offers a SAFE, alternativeapproach that we have seen work for MANY, MANY people in conjuction withother therapies. And as a medical professional, I was more skeptical thanmost that there could be any link with food & behavior before I heardand saw it for myself over and over and over first hand.If I had a childwith autism I would CERTAINLY TRY this.I would have nothing to lose andeverything to gain.Product Description
