Autism Awareness Month

A friend of mine in another ward had triplets around the same time as Cody was born; three beautiful identical girls. When they were babies, all three were diagnosed with severe Autism. Because she was very smart and it was early, she was able to reverse it. She did this through intense dietary and behavioral therapies. It was like watching a miracle take place before our eyes. Jennifer's girls are now 2nd graders and at 100%. Since then I have researched the disease a bit because I couldn't believe that her girls could go from rocking and spinning in circles all day, to totally normal.

This month is Autism Awareness Month. Please read this excellent post about causes and signs of Autism.

That is so awesome that those girls are totally 100% now. They must have one on top of it mom. My oldest son, Blake has a friend and his little brother was diagnosed with Autism. They have done lots of therapy and things and he has really improved. Thanks for sharing the website with us.
