May 2009. c.256p. bibliog. index. ISBN 978-0-7382-1243-2. pap. $17.95. HEALTH Autistic spectrum disorders continue to be a major topic in the news. This mysterious group of developmental disorders still has no known cause, but those who have them seem to have a high incidence of digestive problems. Dietary interventions often lead to improved functioning. These three books offer information about diets and recipes that appeal to children. Strickland, a registered dietitian specializing in ADHD and autism, offers the most detail, explaining the importance of good nutrition for development and discussing food allergies and the use of special diets, vitamins, and supplements. Compart, a developmental pediatrician and Laake, a registered dietitian, cover the gluten-free, casein-free diet and its use in treating both ADHD and autism. They explain what the diet is, why it works, and how to transition a child onto it. Kid-friendly recipes make up the book's core. There is also a resource list. Kessick, a British autism advocate who has an autistic son, presents the shortest book, which features a brief history of dietary intervention in treating autism and material on the implementation of a special diet at home and at school. Her lists of ingredients contain gluten, casein, and other potentially dangerous additives. Buy based on preferred focus.--Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L. - "Library Journal, May 1, 2009"
Book Description
"Pam and Dana know what works for kids…This book is a fantastic resource for the diets that make a difference. Follow their advice!!" --Jenny McCarthy, author of Louder Than Words and Mother Warriors

The uniqueness of this book is that it not only provides gluten-free milk-free substitutes and recipes, it provides successful suggestions for feeding the picky eater. The authors share details about just how and why the diet works. The specialty ingredients are explained and extensive sources provided. There are also testimonials from the parents and from the children themselves.

This review is from: The Kid-Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook, Updated and Revised: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet (Hardcover)
I got this book on the advice from a friend. Within three days of eliminating dairy from my daughter's diet I noticed a positive change in her moods and behaviour. This book was so helpful in helping me navigate a new world of label reading and figuring out alternatives to her favourite foods.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent all-around resource - not just a cookbook!,

This review is from: The Kid-Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook, Updated and Revised: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet (Hardcover)
I bought a couple of books to use as starting points after we decided to commit to a gluten-free/casein-free diet for our son (recently diagnosed with autism) after giving it a 2 week trial run (mainly by adding a few GFCF convenience foods, buying a few mixes, and switching to almond milk) and seeing some great improvements. This book has been an amazing help, from meticulously explaining the science behind gluten/casein elimination diets to every kind of recipe you could possibly imagine!
