In Reply to: At what age do autistic kids start to verbalize/talk posted by AL on April 13, 2000 at 07:51:14:

Our child at 3 years old could not talk. Had ALOT of temper tantrums! The wheat free & dairy free diet has helped her come out of her "fog". She now talks in 7 word sentences and interacts with others! Speech therapy has always helped her, but it wasnt until we removed the gluten and casein out of her diet that we could see a difference in her. She now has a personality, we never knew who she was or her thoughts before!! The earlier, the better! You can read more at www.gfcfdiet.com about autism and diet.
