Autism Links of the Day (04.02.08)

Just so I don't keep linking to CNN.com articles, they're running features every day for Autism Awareness Month. And after saying that, I'm going to link to one anyway. Jenny McCarthy claims that her son was able to recover much of his neurological function after treatments that included "a gluten-free, casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and anti-fungals for yeast overgrowth that plagued his intestines." I know it's easy to write this off as Tom Cruise craziness, but with autism, the medical community has just as little clue about how to treat autism as everyone else. So there could be something to it. Then again it could just be Tom Cruise craziness. Either way, nobody can be sure.

If I Only Had Super Powers
Thanks to 30 Minute Mommy for this link. A busy ass mom and speech therapist, who deals with autism on a regular basis. She's devoting most of her postings this month to autism. Give her a look. She says all the rain in the Pacific Northwest can get to her, so more readers might cheer her up.

Larry's Autism Lounge
A guy named Larry from Texas has Asperger's and this is his own personal page. He created it to try to give individuals with autism and their families a unique perspective on how to cope with the disease.
