      Author’s Note

      The title of this book expresses the purpose for which it is written. My intention is for you to experience joy and ease in your gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) journey with your loved one. I have come to find that the key to great GFCF cooking lies in relaxing and enjoying the experience. Don’t worry—everything else will flow.

      Chances are, you have found this book because someone you love has autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), or a similar developmental challenge. You are interested in a biomedical approach to helping the person gain wellness in his or her body as a way to gain improvements in behavior, focus, attention, and physical comfort. You realize that removing offensive foods is one major part of the wellness approach for all people.

      Our son was diagnosed with food allergies in 2001 (nine months old) and then diagnosed with autism in 2004 (age three). Within three weeks of changing his diet we began to see improvements in sleep, mood, and language. At that time, I wrote my first two gluten-free, casein-free, allergy-free cookbooks, Balancing the Bowl 1 & 2. Because of enormous demand for autism resources, my book has blossomed into The Autism Cookbook. We are convinced that a GFCF diet for children like our son is more of a health necessity than a choice.

      How is this so? Many children with autism cannot digest gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and contaminated in most oats) and casein (a protein found in cow’s milk). This condition is called food intolerance or food sensitivity. Undigested food builds up in the digestive tract and becomes spoiled and toxic. This wreaks havoc on all body systems, including the brain. Thus, food affects behavior.

      Visit the recommended websites listed on page 218 to further your understanding of cooking GFCF. If you choose to pursue it, you will find plenty of support from grocers, health professionals, educators, family members, and friends who will support you in your GFCF journey. While I have an enormous amount of confidence in your ability to make sound decisions for your child, I am legally obligated to advise you to consult with a medical professional prior to making a dietary change.

      I hope you will enjoy these rich, international recipes, especially the Korean dishes, straight from my mother’s kitchen. Most importantly, remember your true purpose for seeking a GFCF diet and worry less about making perfectly round pancakes. If your first batch is misshapen, then cut it up, dip it in maple syrup, and share it with someone you love!

      Foreword

      Health and wellness is all about addressing and correcting the cause; headaches do not result from a lack of aspirin. Indigestion is not a result from a lack of Pepcid. Depression is not a result of a lack of Wellbutrin, and autism is certainly not a condition resulting from a lack of medication. Autism has, as its origins, an imbalance of normal physiology. Addressing this aberrant physiology should be every parent’s first impulse.

      There are many ways to do this. However, with closer consideration, only a few approaches address the primary and the determining causes; the determining being chemical toxicity, physical traumatism, and emotional tendencies or stressors that lead to these aberrant functions; and the primary being the actual manifestation of these stressors, brain hemispheric deficiency, nutritional deficiency subluxation complex, and heavy metal toxicity.

      For years now, clinicians and researchers have noticed positive changes in the physical and emotional health of children under chiropractic care, for example. Among the observed benefits are improvements in children with hyperactivity, autism, anxiety, low mental stamina, lack of concentration, asthma, and discipline problems. Improvement in grades and IQ have also been recorded.

      Combine this now with the overwhelming body of evidence that shows direct connections between specific nutritional deficiencies and cognitive health and development issues, and one begins to see a positive paradigm shift emerging in healthcare and the standard treatment of these childhood conditions, such
