LATEST UPDATES ON TREATMENT September 2025
Cerebral Folate Deficiency (CFD) is a neurological condition that affects folate transport pathways into the brain. Folate is a vitamin essential for brain health. Folate deficiency may cause developmental delays and challenges with verbal communication, social understanding, sensory processing, repetitive behaviours, seizures, and problems with movement and coordination.
If you have a child with autism symptoms, particularly if they are non verbal speak to your doctor about getting a prescription of Leucovorin to trial. Please do your own research on this new treatment but so far there seems to be very positive results reported from parents.

The diagnosis or suspicion that your child has autism or pervasive developmental disorder can be overwhelming and of course hugely stressful for you and other members of your family. You may have the belief that autism is a lifelong mental illness that can only be helped by early intervention in expensive behavioural therapy centres. This is simply not true anymore. Autism is treatable at home, and at any age, don't let anyone tell you it isn't. It doesn't matter how old your child is, or how severe their autistic symptoms are. With a determined effort from a parent or guardian, a noticeable difference is often seen in a short period of time, with amazing, sometimes miraculous long term results. I have eliminated many autistic behaviours my son suffered from, and so have hundreds of thousands of other parents around the world. You can too!

This book is the culmination of 10 years of research, experimentation and my life experience as the mother of an autistic child.
Whilst best results are usually seen in children under the age of five,
the 7 step plan can be applied to any autistic person of any age*.
(*I have seen significant improvements in teenagers and adults, however it will take longer and it may be too late to completely reverse all autistic behaviors)

Not all parents can afford, or have access to alternative biomedical health practitioners who have expertise in treating autistic children. I hope this book will provide a clear path to follow for those parents struggling and trying to do it all on their own.

Don't struggle for years with autism, stumbling from one therapy to another with no real direction or with any clue as to what works or not. This plan works and my son is wonderful proof of that, so
don't waste any more time. The younger your child the better the results so get started today! If you do nothing, one thing is certain, your autistic child is unlikely to ever improve on their own. I only wish someone had handed me this book when my son was 2 years old, it would have saved years of pain and suffering for my little boy, not to mention the trauma and strain he placed on family life. |

Happy, healthy, bright eyed and a delight to be around. (3 years after changing diet) |
During the past 10 years I have spoken with many parents who were daunted, confused and reluctant to even start the autism diet or alternative therapies, as they did not understand how vitally important intestinal health is for recovery to begin in their child. Did you know that your autistic child's immune system and consequently their intestinal health is out of balance due to genetic factors and environmental triggers. For this reason your child is unable to correctly process some foods which leads to neurotoxins being formed in the digestive system. These neurotoxins travel to the brain and are a significant cause of autistic symptoms in many of our children.
Most autistic children have an inability to digest gluten or casein and therefore absorb nutrients due to inflammation in the gut. This means that despite your child having a healthy diet, their body and brain are deprived of vital nutrients. Even tiny amounts of gluten or casein can cause harm and neurotoxic behaviours. The primary treatment for the inability to digest gluten and casein is simply to remove it from the diet completely.
STEP ONE of the book
details the gluten free casein free diet and why
it is so important for recovery to begin. It also
explains how, after only 6 weeks, a particular type of cow’s milk can be
included back into the diet. This milk has a different molecular structure than other milks. You are unlikely to hear about this milk anywhere else in the autistic community as we have been told that all casein is bad. This is simply not true. Your child may be similar to mine and have no reaction to this milk casein whatsoever. I explain how to test your child for this and other food intolerances in step one. If you have a child who is a 'picky eater' or skeptical family members, then doing step one correctly will put an end to all that. This diet is strict and has to be done properly or you will not get the results you are longing for.
I have made starting the diet as simple and uncomplicated as possible by giving you some easy meal ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks as well as a comprehensive grocery list*.
I have also included a few of my favourite recipes.
*Please note these lists are relevant to Australian brands and meal ideas.
You should however, be able to find or cook similar products/meals in your country.

STEP TWO I tell you what else is needed to help your child improve their intestinal health once their gluten free/casein free diet is stabilized. It is not enough just to modify your child's diet, you need to start repairing the intestinal health of your child.
Note to Grandparents: If you are not able to convince the parents to change your grandchild's diet (step 1) then giving specific supplements (step 2 and 3) and taking them to other therapies (step 6) you will still see improvements and it could make a significant difference long term.

The diet forms the foundation from which your child's healing can begin, however, to ensure your child's mind and body continues to healas much as is possible from the symptoms of autism I recommend 16 important additional therapies for you to trial in the remaining steps. Many of these therapies you are unlikely to have heard of but each have merit, with proven results in the treatment of autistic symptoms. |

Following these seven steps will give your child the best
and most complete recovery from autism that is possible
based on all the current research and knowledge
that I have at this time.
