Autism Diet
Published: May 8, 2009 (Article by nbc13.com )
There is no cure for autism, but there are lots of therapies and strategies that can improve the abilities and overall well-being of autistic children.
One strategy that works for some children is to change what they’re eating.
A new diet for an 8 year old autistic boy in georgia, named Justin, has improved his life.
“His language skyrocketed, his digestion completely improved. He was able to focus, I think focus a whole lot better in school and able to express himself,“ says his mother, Susan Delaine.
Justin’s diet is completely free of casin: no milk products or gluten.
“You can’t have any wheat, rye, barley or oats,“ says another mother, Jennifer Harris.
It’s not an easy diet to follow.
Many times it means shopping in stores that specialize in organic foods.
It means becoming a food detective.
“A lot of product labels will list white flour, but white flour is just bleached wheat flour, so you still can’t have that. There’s about seven different words for wheat. Triticale, durum, emer, fo, farina, semilima, so there’s things that confuse you when you’re first starting out,“ says Harris.
Justin’s mother began changing his diet about six years ago.
She few recipes, so created her own and then put them in a cookbook to help parents of other autistic children.
“Balancing the Bowl” is now updated and in its second edition.
And the entire Delaine family is now gluten-free.
And Justin’s happier and healthier.

Could Autism Be Caused by Lack of Vitamin D?
Could Autism Be Caused by Lack of Vitamin D?
Could autism be caused by low levels of vitamin D? That’s a new idea that’s just starting to emerge, sparked by the large number of autism cases among children of Somali immigrants living in Sweden and Minnesota.
The mothers and young children are exposed to much less sunshine in their new homes than they were back in Somalia. Lighter-skinned people make more vitamin D than dark-skinned people do when exposed to sunshine, so it’s easy to imagine that the Somalis are getting relatively little vitamin D. And because most of the Somali immigrants are Muslim, they cover themselves when going outside, reducing their sun exposure even more. But there’s as yet no clear connection to autism.
Gabrielle Glaser does a great job of exploring this big question in an article posted today at Scientific American online, explaining what scientists know about possible links between autism and vitamin D—and the many things that are still unclear. For instance, there’s no good data on the prevalence of autism in Somalia, so it’s impossible to nail down whether there really is an increase among the immigrant families.
Scientists are just starting to research whether vitamin D could play a role in autism. Their work includes testing pregnant women to find out what their blood levels of vitamin D are, something that’s not routinely done in prenatal office visits.
What’s a parent to do while this research is underway? Because many moms are D-deficient themselves, the American Academy of Pediatrics recently raised the daily vitamin D recommendation for babies and children from 200 IU to 400 IU. My colleague Dr. Bernadine Healy recently explained the debate over women and vitamin D; the consensus is leaning toward a recommended daily intake for adults of 800 to 1,000 IU of the D3 form of the vitamin, far more than the 400 IU in many daily vitamin supplements.

I Dreamed a Dream
47 Year old Susan Boyle wows the judges with her performance in the auditions for Britains Got Talent, singing I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables.
Watch her here, and remember to have a tissue box around. Please do share how you feel when you watch this video!
Here are the Lyrics:
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
