Finally a book that makes special diets easier. There is so much to learn and understand for us parents starting out with dietary interventions for a child with autism. This book hands it to you in "plain speak", shows relevant references, and is packed with hints and tips. Lisa Lewis and Karyn Seroussi have done a wonderful job, thank you!

This book is just what the autism community needs to get people going with diet intervention. I started four years ago and since then the sea change in perception about diets helping kids with autism has been amazing. This is the perfect book for those who are starting out and are overwhelmed by all the info and various diets out there.

Great to give your therapists and doctors as well for a reference, and helpful to have around for a simple but thorough explanation of all of the biomedical and biochemical issues.

I also recommend the Special Diets for Special Kids Cookbooks by Lisa Lewis and of course Unraveling the Mysteries of Autism and PDD by Karyn Seroussi's (a memoir about her sons recovery) is a big inspiration.

Back in 2000 when I heard about this "diet for autism," Karyn Seroussi and Lisa Lewis became my new best friends. Their books guided me through all of the particulars of the diet for my son.

Their new book is an amazing resource, and one that I recommend to all of our families looking for nutritional help for their children. This is an invaluable reference tool that will save caregivers hours of research. As usual, the Seroussi/Lewis team makes it easy! Thanks Karyn & Lisa!

This book is for newbies as well as veterans of dietary intervention for Autism. It is easy to understand, and extremely informative.

We've followed a special diet for my son since he was 5, for over 8 years now, and it has been the best intervention to halt his Autism.

Thank you for this book, Karyn & Lisa!

If you have any belief in dietary intervention for ANY disease, this book is a must !!! What a font of information.

My son with autism has been treated with dietary intervention for over 10 years. As an "old timer" in using diets to manage autism, I feel strongly this book is a MUST HAVE for parents of special needs children! I read the book straight through with pen and paper in hand. There is such a wide range of information on several diets that have proven successful in improving the quality of life for so many people! The information is current and complete, with web resources listed for further research if the reader so chooses. However, the volume also serves as a tremendous resource appropriate for families, physicians, libraries, and SCHOOLS to keep on hand to help meet the needs of the growing number of children who are improving using dietary intervention. Karyn Seroussi and Lisa Lewis continue to be "best friends" to the moms and dads around the world navigating special diets..

Out of the hundreds of dollars I have spent on books, this is the one everyone should have. It's quite possible the best resource you could have. This book is one to keep handy and to keep sanity.

I am a consultant in autism nutrition, this book is the perfect resource for parents and practitioners.

There are always so many questions when starting dietary interventions. This book gives you answers in a concise, easy to read and (more importantly) in an easy to understand format.

This new book along with Special Diets for Special Kids are invaluable resources. Highly recommended.
