My ds (3) has recently been dx as asd. It is considered mild and we have therapy lined up. I have looked into the biomedical intervention and recently started him on a gfcf diet. Problem is we live in a place where we do not have access to the right practitioners to assist us with this. I noticed the gfcf diet seem to be having some kind of effect (he is more with it, less echolalia and less hyperactivity) so I am thinking of doing this properly. He is already on vitamins, omega 3-6, and calcium supplements. I am looking to introduce probiotics and enzymes (unfortunately I am still trying to navigate the whole birthday party/playdate treats). Has anyone started a similar intervention with their toddler on a self starter basis, and if so what worked for you? I don't want to screw this up or give him the wrong supplements. Many many thanks.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
