Today there is a slew of stories in the media about a study by headed by Tim Buie of Harvard that claim that dietary interventions doesn't work for autism.
Except that I sat through Dr. Buie's lecture at the Maine CDC Autism conference last year while he talked about how dietary interventions do work for some with autism.
He emphasized that at least 30% of those with autism have GI issues, the GFCF diet was NOT appropriate for all people with autism, but was for some, that the SCD diet showed good promise for a small subset of those with autism, and that the principles of the Fiengold diet should be adopted by the society as a whole.
He belives that dietary intervention is appropriate in people with autism who are showing food sensitivities. But you wouldn't know that by reading the media reports.
So instead of taking the biased media's word for it, take an hour and find out what Dr. Buie really thinks about dietary intervention in autism:

I strongly encourage you to also watch the two lectures that followed Dr. Buie's at the Maine CDC Conference:
Dr. Martha Herbert's lecture on the gene environment interaction in autism
and
Dr. Jon Poling's lecture on vaccines and autism.

Maine CDC Autism Conference: Intro by Dora Mills
As I have previously mentioned, in May the Maine CDC held a one day conference on Autism. The videos of the conference will be available on the Maine CDC web site, however Maine state law requires that they be ADA compliant before going up, and the process of close captioning the videos is proving to be time consuming. So in my impatience, I am uploading my copies of the videos (with permission from Maine CDC who is encouraging their free circulation.)
Conference materials available here on the Maine CDC web site.
Those who would like a set of DVD's of the conference, for yourself, your organization or to pass along to doctors and public health officials, email me.
