So happy for Ethan and your family.

congratualations on his recovery he's cute!!

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME...I love this story. I can't wait for hubby to get home so that I can show him. Our son has Asperger's Syndrome and is high functioning but often falls into his autistic symptoms and I as any other parent want to give him the best chance at recovery. God bless you and sweet Ethan.

congratulations!

Thanks for posting. You son's story gives me hope for my son Connor. He turns 4 this May and is low functioning, non-verbal ASD. Tried the GF/CF diet for 6 months w/o improvement. We're now on a waiting list to see a DAN doctor. Hope to share your success and joy.

There is also the opposite idea that people diagnosed with Asperger's have no difficulties with verbal speech. Which is a load of BS. I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's, but I have some difficulties with verbal speech. Most of the time my speech works fine, but sometimes it doesn't. Also, the ability to produce ineligible sentences does not mean you can effectively communicate what you want to communicate. It's called the autism spectrum for a reason. Things aren't black and white.

Okay, I started crying at the dancing part. What an adorable little boy you have.

Wow... I'm speachless. Congratulations! That's really rare to recover from disease like that but you truly did. I'm so happy for you! Greets to Ethan, he's really handsome and cute little boy.

My son has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I designed Awareness Cards to hand out to others whether in public or to classmates. They have been invaluable! Our son's Speech and Language Therapy is no longer covered under our Medical Insurance so the money that I make from my sales goes to paying for his Therapy. Search Mom 2 Four Printing and Gifts. Best wishes to all the families that love someone with Autism!!

Well many autistics say their first words at around the same age as he said his. The gluten-free diet that she prescribes works for those with wheat allergy or coeliac disease. Besides the best way to "recover" is simply social interaction and teaching your child what's right or wrong.
