Jeff's comments from the Autism Families and Professionals group.

This looks like a good place to introduce myself. We live in Fort Worth, TX and have a 15 year old "high functioning" autistic. We did not get a diagnosis until age 10, though. We are currently treating through supplements and diets. We are seeing a doctor in Grapevine who is a founding member of D.A.N. I am about to start reading the book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet, by Elaine Gottschall. Our daughter is in a high school program that is now 2 years old, designed for students like her. She has only been in the program for a couple of months, as it took us 5 years to get the ISD to agree with the autism diagnosis. Things are looking up.
