Hi, Our son was recently diagnosed as "High-Functioning Autistic". He is 7 years old. His problem areas are with social interaction and comprehension, which affects many other areas. He has good language skills, but doesn't seem to understand the appropriate way to use them. He eats only certain foods, which includes lots of milk and the only vegtable he eats is potaoes.
I am finding lots of info on the internet, and am not sure what is worth pursuing and what isn't. Does anyone have any advice on vitamin therapy or a special diet regimen? Is there any specific books that you would recommend for teaching appropriate social interaction? There's lots out there, but I'm not sure which ones to invest in. I'm open to suggestions.
