Questions For   Asked By: Question: Dr. Brown: My son is 13 years old, has Asperguer´s Syndrome and ADHD, and he has a very negative and impulsive personality. He had a negative reaction to Ritalin, and we keep trying other substitues but I have been reading about the effects of food that become salicylates, peptides, etc. to our children, and I am starting the Gluten-Casein free diet. Many recipes I have found include sugar, and I want to eliminate sugar also. What can you advise me to do? I really have hope with these changes. Thank you sooo much! Milena CR Milena Arguello Several excellent books are available that deal with this comprehensively. The book of Lisa Lewis "Special Diets for Special Kids" is the best. Many children may have additional allergies such as citrus fruits, eggs, etc so doing an IgG food allergy test is appropriate.

I was wondering if you could tell me what the likelihood of having a child with Autism will be. Is it possible to know?

I doubt that anyone could give you a precise number for the exact risk. Autism is believed to be multifactorial with perhaps 20-50 genes or more involved. [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10] << back
