The biggest difference we saw with the diet change was after we hired a DAN doctor, which stands for Defeat Austism Now. And a DAN doctor helps you come up with a protocol to eliminate the signs of autism. He recommended a gluten free, caisein free diet. And we saw a lot of change in eliminating gluten. He was a little less reactive and impulsive. And the supplementation that we added was 12 injections buffered Vitamin C, something called P5P, and calcium magnesium. And I think out of all of those the thing we noticed a difference was B-12 injections. After B-12 injections, we noticed that my son could focus more, that he had moments of calm, and his behavior really changed kind of in a drastic way after B-12 injections.
