The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook

If you are a parent of one of the millions of children diagnosed with autism or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) you've undoubtedly spent countless hours searching for answers--things you can do to help your child thrive. Fortunately, your search may soon be over, thanks to recent discoveries connecting the food children eat to improved brain function. Common to both autism and ADHD is the negative impact certain foods--especially milk products and glutens--have on your child. These ingredients are seemingly everywhere, though, and one of the challenges you are likely coping with is how to deal with a child who has a picky appetite and craves the very foods that negatively affect his or her behavior, focus, and development. The other significant challenge you are coming to grips with is finding ways to get your child to eat healthy foods.This unique guide and cookbook not only provides gluten-and casein-free recipes and healthful substitutes, but also offers useful suggestions for feeding the picky eater, and simple techniques for starting and maintaining healthy eating habits. The authors also share details about how and why the diet works, and explain how to find and use the specialty ingredients you see in supermarkets everywhere.
