As rates of autism and other pervasive developmental disorders rise, more and more parents are searching for solutions. There has been much interest in special diets for these children, and many parents have found success by eliminating gluten and casein (proteins found in grains and dairy products) from their children's diets. Until now, however, there has not been a cookbook that addresses these dietary needs. This book offers child-friendly recipes that contain no gluten or casein, along with information on why the diet works. All the specialty ingredients are explained and sources provided.

The Centers for Disease Control reports significant increases in Autism and ADHD - both affecting primarily boys. The CDC estimates that 1 out of 175 children (age 4 to 17) currently have Autism (300,000). Before 1985, Autism occurred in less than 1 out of 2000. ADHD is much more common in that it affects 4.4 million U.S. children (age 4 to 17).
Common to both of these conditions is the negative impact of certain foods - especially milk products and glutens such as wheat(and to a lesser degree - soy and corn.) One of the challenges that parents face is coping with children who have picky appetites and crave the very foods that affect their behavior, focus and development. The other challenge is finding ways to get their children to eat healthy foods and improve their nutritional status.
The uniqueness of this book is that it not only provides gluten-free milk-free substitutes and recipes, it provides successful suggestions for feeding the picky eater. The authors share details about just how and why the diet works. The specialty ingredients are explained and extensive sources provided. There are also testimonials from the parents and from the children themselves.
