Sorry it took me so long to get this last part out!
(Sister-in-law's baby trying to come early-- hence, a fast scramble to get immediate needs/present
concerns/"life" in order and be ready to babysit neice and nephews during interim! :) )
The only thing I am not sure how to summarize was a wonderful post sent from "sandybill" to me, as
a newbie to the list. Good advice given there. However, some of the urls were obsolete when I
tried them--or my server wouldn't cooperate-- but most of what he sent was most helpful. Yet I
cannot remember what sites I already had summarized! ACk! So if anyone would like for me to send
the entire post (it was ) long, I will be glad to send it along by your request.
I hope I haven't left anything out. Thanks so much for all the info and comments. I have plenty
of reading and research to do now, and have found ample information to arrange and present to my
loved ones. Plus, my own appetite for information has been happily whetted!
Smiles,
Maggs

Sully's Living Without magazine's latest edition (spring 2002) has two excellent articles on
autism. One (page 12) is written by a mother and has a little box insert listing websites related
to autism (one of them is Gluten- and Casein-free Diet Information - www.autismdiet.com ). The
other article (page 52) is specifically on the GF/CF diet and autistic children…the magazine is
available on news stands but also on websites that sell GF foods.
