Book on Autism and Nutrition

Nourishing Hope for Autism: Nutrition Intervention for Healing Our Children, by Julie Matthews

This book is interesting although some of the cover language makes it sound like a parent or practitioner can 'cure' a child of their autism by using the dietary and environmental suggestions in the book. While I agree that many behaviors can be aggravated by the irritant of foods a child is allergic to, I think it is a matter of more control through diet (similarly to a diabetic controlling through diet or medication.)

The information in the book is very useful and presented in a specific scientific language. References are included to research studies and the source material.

I will be adding the book to our local CAC library for checkout.
