Diet changes

I haven't talked about the SBP diet for several months, so I thought I'd let you know how things are going and where we are...

The diet made some difference in their behavior and progress, but not enough to offset the social isolation we started to feel.  We were not being ostracized, but we were having to turn down invitations and avoid certain social activities in order to stay on track with the diet.  There is already a certain amount of isolation felt by families with kids on the autism spectrum: embarrassment over meltdowns, kids not adjusting well to new situations/people, that feeling of different-ness from others...all leading to the feeling that it's just easier to avoid those situations.  

So we will continue to stick to the diet at home, but we will go out to eat with people and go to parties, etc.
