What's Happening
Mike was verbally aggressive yesterday at his summer day camp (for regular kids), a second offense, so he was kicked out. Unfortunately this sort of thing isn't unusual for Mike. He regular tries to intimidate me, now that he is bigger than I am. I did decide to take him off Ritalin derivatives for now, to see what happens. I understand they can cause aggressive behavior.
None of this has anything to do with the Yasko protocol. It's just same old, same old. He is taking the nutrients required for the protocol but is having some trouble with the diet restrictions, so we aren't following the diet really closely. The most troublesome restrictions are: no sweets, no milk, limited protein, no white flour products (goes with low glycemic diet). So, we'll see how he does, not following the diet strictly. I can't control everything he eats, at his age (nearly 15).

This blog describes how we started out on the protocol by Dr. Amy Yasko, who many say has cured or improved children with autism using a genetic-based nutrition therapy.
