Today we had a good day with Ryan. He did a better job at school today than yesterday (yesterday was rough for him after being off for several days) and he fell back into his normal routine. We have been noticing that Ryan has been doing much better with the day to day tasks that we all take for granted. He is starting to put on his socks and shoes, get dressed, wash his hands, go to the bathroom, and set the table without help. While these may not seem like big things, to us they are huge. Little sparks of independence is what we live and hope for with Ryan.
After dinner we all took a walk to the end of the development and back. It is about 2 miles and over the last few weeks Ryan has been riding his tri-cycle the entire way. He has to put on his spider man helmet, knee pads and elbow pads before we can begin and he is so excited to get his bike out. His coordination has improved so dramatically that we have trouble keeping up with him as he races down the street. One interesting point is that he has to win. He hates it when we push Julia ahead of him and he races ahead to let us know that he wins!
Overall a good day and we are getting ready for the walk this weekend. Hopefully we will have good weather and a large turnout.

We began this blog to share our experiences placing our son Ryan on a gluten-free, casein-free,(and now egg-free) diet. The diet is one part of the healing process we have in place to rid his body of toxins and improve his Autism Spectrum behaviors. We hope that someday our stories will help other families who have chosen to follow this diet. Over time the blog grew into much more than that. We are sharing just about everything that goes on with Ryan while he's on his road to recovery!
