|
| Strengths: |
I feel in working with many therapists, in the areas of OT, speech, ABA, successfully following diet, and other biomedical intervention that I am qualified to discern good therapists vs. bad, and the same is true in all the disciplines we are working in and trying. |
Why I became a
Rescue Angel: |
Embracing my son's autism has been a very long journey of faith. I did it with the help of a Rescue Angel. It is now my turn to give back. We leave no stone unturned, and consider our son recovering, not suffering from Autism. He is making a lot of progress. We are hopeful he will fully recover, and will live a full life. I want to share that hope with other parents. |

Rescue Angel: |
To help others and give them hope. Its a lot of information to take in at once.

For example say start the diet by making GFCF breakfast, add cod liver oil, call Bto3, that would be step 1. |
