I know this is totally OT on the Martha topic (by the way, cool event in your life!!), but I wanted to thank you for your blog. You have really inspired me. My son has Autism and all the "lovely" things that go with it (sensory, speech, severe weak muscle tone, etc). We started with the GFCF diet and are already seeing some symptom improvement. This will be his final day of anything gluten at all (he has had only a smidge). Tomorrow is day one of his first full week with no G or C. He's been off C for quite a while now.

Also, thank you for your vaccine talks. Tomorrow will be the first time we discuss our new choice to stop vaxing the boys with our doctor. I know he's not keen on people doing that, but will allow me to work with our own decision on that issue (have another non-vaxing friend that uses him). I just hate to put it out there and dael with the questions and looks that we will get. I am also nervous to NOT put those meds in my son's body. I can admit that. I am big enough to admit it scares me to death. But the Autism scares me too and my 9 month old is already on the spectrum. We can't risk it. We just can't. Not with a 3 year old that has ASD.

So, thank you. Thank you for speaking out.

I love your soapbox, but I also like the “Fun Friday” idea. I’ve learned so much from your posts. I have a sensory child and we’re working on a healthier lifestyle. As for our Fun Friday we are going to check out a new school. I hope it will be fun.
