Kim! That is what many parents say about milk and wheat.Our kids just CRAVE them (most of them)! My son does not like vegies nor much meet. He is allergic to soy (good substitute to milk), is on GF/CF diets and he still has something to eat, has good health and makes progress every day. Think about it, please...

Great job on the video, Kim. I know you did a good job because it is so touching. Look how far Aiden has come! I remember the first time he blew his whistle. It was at a holiday family gathering. We had been trying to get him to blow the whistle for several months and he finally got it. It didn't matter to us that it wasn't an appropriate time or place to be blowing a whistle. We were so excited for him. Before Aiden came along we didn't know that little developemental goals are big accomplishments for some people. Keep up the good work. I will forward your video to others to raise money for Aiden's cause.

This is such a wonderful video! People really take for granted how much their (average) children do on a regular basis. I am an ABA Specialist and really don't get to see this side of the kids. It really makes an impact. I will share your video with others...

This is such an inspiring video, and you have done an amazing job at making your story important to me - someone who doesn't deal with these issues as you do. You and your husband are doing a wonderful job for your son and your family. May you feel encouraged every day. God Bless!

Dear Kimberly, it is a journey - a crusade! Never leave any stone unturned. Listen to every suggestion and try out all new ideas. It does get easier. Rejoice in all the little successes - they are really huge gains for our children. Best of luck on your journey!

You have a beautiful boy. Though he sees the world differently to you, look at how far and wide, though you, he is able to reach out and touch the world, change the world. May blessings of peace and acceptance bring your heart joy and love.

Hi Kimberly, When I went to observe preschools trying to choose one for my son I made a list of the equipment I noticed that they used in the classrooms. I tried to duplicate some of the products at my home. The best machine I ever bought was a "Language Master". I taught my son his first word. He also learned to read with the language master, because of pictures with the written word, and the voice recording for Teacher and Student. I think all families starting out should get one. My son's vocabulary, speech, and reading ability is Outstanding now. Close caption TV also helped. I wish you the best of Luck, you have a wonderful, beautiful family!

Excellent video, Kim. It was good to see the pictures. Progress does come, albeit too slowly for our taste. It will come, for Emma, and Aidan, and all of them. Love, Lisa
