Gluten Free & Casein Free (GFCF Diet)

We have been casein free since January 2006. We have been GFCF since June 2007. Our story begins in San Diego California with the birth of our first child, a son. Our son Jacob was diagnosed with PDD-NOS/Autism on May 31, 2005. He was two years, four months and nineteen days. This diagnosis came from Dr. Kiki Roe, Professor Emeritus and Clinical Psychologist at UCLA School of Medicine. His testing was all done at the San Diego Regional Center. Jacob's tests revealed that his communication level was at or equivalent to a twelve month old. Daily Living Skills were at or equiv to a twenty-one month old. His socialization was at a sixteen month level and his motor skills were the highest at approx. twenty-eight months. Remember, at this point Jacob is actually twenty eight months nineteen days. This began our quest to heal our son locked in a world only he could understand.
