Not sure if I should buy it.

Posted by Jen

So Jenny McCarthy has released a book about her and dealing with her son’s autism. It would be interesting to read, but it comes to about twenty dollars. I think I will wait to purchase until the price drops, lol. I cannot afford twenty dollars for something that I am unsure we will find the time to read. I think in the book she praises this weird diet that many mothers of autistic children have their children on, I just don’t think I could do the diet with Gavin. We have a hard time getting the little thrity pound boy to eat anything. He loves peanut butter sandwiches, and chips and chocolate milk. In this diet I know you have to cut out all milk and bread. There would be nothing left of my little boy if I cut out the two things he loves the most. He does love soy milk though, it would just be hard to find something to replace his bread with. I don’t know, Eric and I should give it a try, there are so many people saying it works. Maybe I will be able to find a book on just the diet. Maybe a “for dummies” book.

    You guys should try the classical music!! I haven’t found any internet articles on this yet, and I’m sure it will be irritating (especially for Eric) but you could try. Teachers in school used to tell us to listen to it while we study, and then Amanda told me about a woman who let her Autistic son listen to it while he was playing and it helped a lot.
