I agree and..

Thanks for replying. I just want to add that maybe I came across wrong but he has no allergies or ill effects from wheat. Its just that there is a book called,"Special Diet for Special kids." that has a diet for kids with autism. They advocate no wheat. I tried taking him off wheat and saw no change.(it was for several months) so I added back in the wheat. He only gets it a few times a week. I guess I still wonder as I have heard wheat isn't good for gut issues but for him I saw difference on or off.

I see so many autistic kids at the clinic where he gets therapy and they are NOT disciplined because the mom feels sorry for them. So then you have this autistic kid screaming and yelling and hitting and not listening. Its a mess. So I obviously want to avoid this and give him limits. Strangely, he's not hard to discipline because as soon as you say,"No" he'll stop and won't do it again. It will backfire sometimes if he's throwing around food and I say, "Stop throwing your food." and he will stop and not eat or have anything to do with his food because he heard "stop" and "food"

I had heard about clay baths but sadly washing his hair is a nightmare because touching his head is an issue. When he gets his hair cut I have to hold him down while the stylist cuts and anther one helps me hold him down. Needless to say I am a big tipper! =)
