Hi Jen,
Thanks for stopping by the site and for watching the webinar. Glad you enjoyed it!
I totally understand what you mean about finding it hard to fit dietary changes into a busy schedule. That’s exactly why I got started with this because I would talk to so many parents who wanted to give this a try but just felt it was too overwhelming to get started without some help.

As for preschools, I have heard that Island Montessori House is wonderful with preschoolers with autism. I’m not sure what their rates are like compared to other centres. Otherwise I’ll ask around and see if I can get some other recommendations for you.

I’ll send you an email.

Hello Lori, you may be familiar with our play centre.

I’d like toget your advice on two matters.

First, would a separate time for parents and children with autism to come and enjoy Tumblebums be of service to families?

Second, we’re thinking of adding a section of toys, cd’s and dvd’s for children with special needs. I think you might have some insights into the nature of these toys. If you do, we’d be appreciative if you would share them with us.

If you care to discuss these thoughts, please email me and perhaps we can meet for a coffee.

Thanks,

Andrew Koster,
co-owner
Tumblebums Play Centre and Toy Shop

Wow! I am glad that I came by your website. We got an ASD diagnosis a year ago. I wish I had known about your website back then. And your local too which is great! I have thought of going gluten free, but haven’t undergone the changes yet. I am a soon-to-be single parent (with shared custody) and with work and p/t school in the mix, I am not sure how I can pull it off. I am quite handy in the kitchen and my boy loves his carbs and dairy.

You wouldn’t happen to know of a good daycare in the area that may be a good fit for a high functioning ASD preschooler would you?

Listened to your webinar. Loved it.

Hi Lori! I was speaking to Shirley Broback this morning and she told me about you. We suspect that my son (3.5) has SPD and we are finally getting some help from an occupational therapist and trying some different strategies with preschool. I am at my wit’s end about how to help him control his frustration, temper, short-circuiting, etc. I am sure you understand, parenting a son with autism. I have come to the conclusion (frankly have been too lazy until now) that I should at least try changing his diet to see if it has any effect on him. He loves dairy and eats a lot of carbs and bread, and really eats a very varied and healthy diet (loves salmon and chicken, etc.) but I think I owe it to him to try. I just booked an appointment with a naturopath for this Saturday – wondering, do you think this is a good place to start? I will have to go through your site and do some more reading but our family has so much on the go right now that I really need guidance on WHAT to cook and feed him if we are going to change his diet… it sounds like that’s what you do?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Lena
