Father of two severely autistic daughters. Wonder if anyone is trying to recover their children from the symptoms of aitism
I have an ex who had 3 boys with varying degrees of autism. The oldest of the 3 was worst, behaviour off the scale. 1st day of school, (my 1st date with her) the principal had to be called, he then bit the principal and ran away. Took hours to find him. Temper off the scale, could not control his behaviour at all, was violent, would beat his siblings incessantly. Teen years the same. Then got into drugs. He is 23 now and a Jag salesman, doing so well, his presentation is very polished, extremely OCD, but other than that doing great. Has had girlfriends, that all worked out ok, basically OCD seems to be his only remaining issue. I fostered his younger brother who was not as severe, he has some personality issues, but controls himself fine and has been living on his own for 6 years, worked for 3 of it and now runs his own business. My point is, with these, and many others I have known, time seems to help, many seem to grow out of most of the symptoms. In my experience at least.
My nephew. He responded very well to a gluten, casein, soy, and artificial free diet and supplements.
The diet reduces inflammation, which makes the symptoms of Autism worse. I'm on a more restrictive Paleo Ketogenic diet, because besides being on the Spectrum I have several Autoimmune Disorders and Epilepsy.

Posted by MelbatesMy nephew is high functioning autistic. One friend is Asperger's. My "second mom's" grandson is Asperger's. And, another friend is higher functioning autism than my nephew.
