A D.A.N Doctor Has Been Approved!!

So I haven't wrote in a while so I thought I would update. My son has been approved to see a D.A.N doctor! This is very exciting!! A D.A.N (Defeating Autism Now) doctor is a doctor who believes in treating Autism with diet changes and vitamin supplements. I'm really excited to give this a try. I have always been one to avoid medications. Not that anyone is trying to force any down Isaac's throat but, them wanting to has been a concern of mine. After reading many stories in Jenny McCarthy's book Isaac doesn't seem to be too bad off. So our hopes for him are high. His teachers say he improves with everyday he goes to school. He is making eye contact more frequently and has even responded to his name! He does great at communicating his needs when before he would just scream. So needless to say we are very proud of his accomplishments thus far and have high hopes for his future!
