Did you guys see this story today? I cannot imagine treading water with my daughter for 12 hours, not to mention the thought of sharks. Amazing that they survived. Not so sure I would have ...

We started the SCD last week and I must say that I am AMAZED. We have been doing GFCF since about Nov, but since starting this diet, Caroline is an eating machine! AND ... she is eating the kinds of things we could only dream she would be eating. Yesterday she snacked on fresh cooked green beans while we played outside. Today she ate a carrot stick for a snack. She seems to be loving eating now which is great since she hasn't gained weight in forever.
When we started, she ate the chicken soup that was for the first 2 days in one morning. :-)
We have pretty much just kept stuff that is OK in the house and I must say, Mommy and Daddy will probably be healthier too.

We recently had a GREAT experience at Six Flags, http://autismparents.net/six-flags-autism-friendly-park/ , but I am wondering if we just benefited from their policy not being enforced???
You are supposed to go in thru the exit, and schedule a time to get on the ride. The idea is you have to wait as long as the regular line. The kid running the ride is supposed to estimate wait time in the regular line and pencil you in to come back after that time passes.
In actuality, this is WAY TO BUREAUCRATIC for the teenagers running the rides. We basically got right on most rides at the STL park, not because of their policy, but in spite of it.
If we had to go in thru the EXIT and then leave to come back, that is MORE likely to call a meltdown. Here we are at the ride, now leave. You would have to send one parent or someone ahead to schedule. Seems like in this day and age they could use technology to help with this. Like you scan disability tag at the ride and get assigned a time from computer, etc. They have a similar thing for the speed pass thing you can buy.
With that said, I cannot say enough good things about OUR experience.

Are any of you guys going methyl B12 shots? I have to say that this is the treatment that gets the most bang for the buck around here. Since we have been doing the shots, my daughter is LOTS more aware of everything and more interested in US.
It was worth it alone for the time we came home from being out of town at the Green Our Vaccines rally a few weeks ago. We were gone4 days and she was on cloud 9 to see us. Lots of kissing, laughing, huge smile. She pulled us all together and we had a group hug. She was saying "DADDDDDDDYYYYY".
Her sense of humor also seems to have improved and she sings a lot. She has actually done things to make us laugh and you can tell it was on purpose. She has lots of laughing now days. She started laughing at something yesterday and I swear she was doubled over and even slapped knee.
The MB12 is not a cure and it hasn't done a lot on speech for us, but still it's the treatment that I would say is the best value so far.
PS - Starting Specific Carbo Diet and I thought GFCF would be tough. Gulp.
