Autism Awareness Week

The week of September 20, DietsInReview.com turned our focus to autism - a developmental disability affecting one in 150 children in the U.S. Parents and experts alike are finding that, while there is yet a cure, the disease can be better managed with proper nutrition and even fitness.

We invited several moms and experts to share articles with us discussing the nutritional changes and benefits in their own homes, as well as information from research.

If you or someone you know is affected by autism, we hope you'll find this information to be beneficial.
