My son is autistic and we have been using nutrition to heal him. In addition to being currently on the gfcf diet, he also takes probiotics, and vitamins. He has made remarkable leaps and bounds, but he was still having bad days. I decided to keep a log of everything he consumed and when. I also kept track of his moods, vitamin intake, and bowel movements. I was certain there was something I was missing, but I just couldn't see it. I went back to the drawing board and started researching again. That's when I found the information about vitamin D. We started taking my son out every day for 20 minutes without sunscreen. Within two days, we saw a HUGE leap in his communication and social skills! It was amazing! I realized that what made the difference between his good and bad days, was the sun! I'm not saying that this is scientific proof that these children are deficient in vitamin D, but there's definitely something there. And for the other parents out there looking desperately for answers: You've tried everything else, why not try this?
