Every child is different. Some needs are common. Findings from research which may help us to give our child a better life- a little more awareness in the environment may help to wisen up some people around.

I would like to see research on the effects of diet, including prenatal diet, on various functioning abilities including but not limited to cognition. It would be great to know natural ways to help our kids. I am convinced that one of the reasons our son is so high functioning is the fact that I had a diet that was super high in antioxidants when I was pregnant with him. We are very careful with his diet now as well.
