Fall is here and that means holiday party time.
That also means lots and lots of deserts. And these desserts also mean sugar and gluten galore.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you know that my son has Autism and also ADHD (you can read our full story here). And we’ve tried a few things to help with his ADHD symptoms. I talk about that in this blog post.
For many of our kids going gluten-free and sugar-free could be the answer to help with their hyperactivity and aggression.
