“How My Daughter Escaped the Abyss of Autism”

GFCF MFG Company soon to open will change everything in terms of products. More to follow, but keep an eye out for a new start-up venture in MA that will be opening around 11/1. An article will soon appear in "Living Without" that will shed light on my youngest daughter's success with "the Diet" and how she went from the abyss of autism to getting close to saying goodbye forever to the monster that once tried to devour her soul, only to be slain by a mother who said, "Not my child."
Our story is unfolding and filled with battles and triumphs with her school. Despite their efforts to deny us our mission to make our little girl whole, the struggles, financial strain, a supportive family who backed us 100%, and a story of hope and victory led this father to a start-up venture that, in some ways, is a small way to pay back all the angels along the way who assisted my daughter. It got to the point where many uninformed individuals stated we were crazy and her diagnosis of PDD-NOS and ASD was wrong, despite evaluations by the Yale Developmental Disabilities Clinic (one of the leading research centers in the world and recently recognized as a National Institutes of Health AUTISM CENTER OF EXCELLENCE) and other top-notch professionals who would state otherwise. We are poised to defend our daughter's education rights and go the distance because it is the right thing to do, and her father is not going to be swayed by bullies or their tactics to test our resolve. We have come too far, and any obstacle in our way on behalf of our daughter should yield to her path to recovery or get run over. End of story. We will share more as we come to the end game with our disputes that will have consequences for those who opted to fight us. We hope others will learn from what we have accomplished on behalf of our daughter.
So enough tooting our horn—let's get on with the business of saving 1 out of 150 children, because that in my opinion is a sin. All of society must wake up and turn that number to a 0 or pay the price for not doing so. Join the crusade, because the monster we call autism is out there, taking aim at the next child and their family, and to lose any more children to an ASD is unacceptable!
