A brother -- no mental health issues -- has a beautiful son with autism. I agree with you -- how about advocating for MUCH BETTER resources for mental health? Our country's support of said resources is shameful. <BR/><BR/>I noted your interest in diet and how it affects autism (that's my own interest as I try to help my brother and sister-in-law). Julie Matthews, who's a top US autism nutrition and diet expert, has written a great book on autism and diet, "Nourishing Hope for Autism." It's an autism diet intervention guide and gives all kinds of great tips for dietary intervention. It's a great reference book and tool. And check out the <A HREF="http://www.nourishinghope.com/cookingtohealDVD3.html/" REL="nofollow"> Cooking to Heal DVD</A> for practical lessons on how to implement autism diets into the daily cooking (and food shopping) routines. My picky nephew is actually eating at meal time with everyone else!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.com
