Why are you telling me what's right for my son, and what has worked for and helped him? I didn't say that it made him no longer autistic. I said that it helped to address some of his GI issues as well as some of the behavioral issues that may well have come from living with discomfort due to GI distress.

And why are you trying to superimpose your life on to mine in other ways as well? I didn't say that you should or need to change anything about yourself, but for the millions and millions of families who have kids and other family members that have massively challenging lives, I don't think you have any right to decide for them what is appropriate or necessary or beneficial. Try showing a little bit of compassion, for heaven sakes! Not everything is about you. "I'm not suffering so that means that nobody is" is a really unnecessarily unkind outlook.
