I have been to many international autism conferences, but the AutismOne/Generation Rescue Conference is by far the best one I’ve been to worldwide. The moment I arrived at the conference, I felt so welcomed, like I was coming home to a family reunion rather than my first time at AO. I was so impressed with the conference that I started saving up for the AutismOne/Generation Rescue Conference 2012 the moment I got home. I even pre-registered for the conference and all the events as soon as I could, even though I wasn’t sure then if I could afford the trip. Because I knew, this year’s conference is going to be even better....
Finding the Right Doctor
May
07
Finding the right doctor to heal your child with autism can be a tricky and difficult task. However, there are several resources such as the approved Doctor Listing right here on the Generation Rescue website. Each doctor is specially trained in autism treatments, has been recommended by parents in the community and has been vetted by Generation Rescue. Another great place to start is right here on the GR website. Click on over to the Rescue Angels section and contact a Rescue Angel (a mom or dad in your area that is on this same journey and willing to help you get started). Email them and ask for names of doctors in your area that can help you with biomedical interventions....

Gluten-Free Playdough
Apr
27
When you are on a gluten-free diet it is important for your playdough and art supplies to be gluten-free. Anything your child touches (or might ingest) should be free of your child's food allergens. Here's a recipe I came to after several failures--from rubbery to soupy. This one works and is easy. ...
Los Angeles (April 2012) – Generation Rescue is pleased to announce a new partnership with Advanced Brain Technologies to support the Rescue Family grant program. The Rescue Family grant program provides grants to families who can not afford medical treatment by providing two doctor visits, lab testing, nutritional counseling and now sound brain fitness training. Many children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder are described as having auditory hypersensitivities and other difficulties processing auditory information. Advanced Brain Technologies has created TLP Spectrum™, sound brain fitness for the sensory sensitive listener. “We are thrilled to expand our grant program to include auditory therapy for individuals with an autism spectrum disorder....

My youngest son, Jake, used to be so unresponsive; I thought he might be deaf. As he approached two years of age I came to know it was autism. Jake would be considered on the severe end of the spectrum. As an early childhood special education. teacher, I felt I should know how to help him, but I didn’t know much about working with a child who didn’t play. Children learn through play. This child just paced, chewed, and stared at things seemingly oblivious to whatever was going on around him much of the time. This, heart-wrenchingly, included his mom. Fortunately I discovered the Son-Rise Program® which helped me learn gentle ways to connect with Jake. I learned how to......

Making Meals Fun
Jan
20
In the first few months of transitioning my family to eating gluten and casein-free, I wanted everything to be perfect: I would scour recipes to find the perfect gf bread, order expensive snacks online and spend hours planning meals. What usually happened when serving those meals was that my son, who has autism and motivated the dietary change, would take two bites of whatever food that I had slaved over and then get up and run away from the table. I would bring him back to his plate, cajole him to eat more, and maybe he would take one more bite. Mealtime in our home became, in a word, miserable.Soon I realized that something needed to change if we were......
The Birth of Focus Autism
Jan
16
Focus Autism Foundation is a proud supporter of Generation Rescue as we are aligned in many ways. A major initiative is to work toward reducing the prevalence of autism by ensuring a safe vaccination schedule for all children, including the most vulnerable of children. Below is a message from the founder of Focus Autism, Barry Segal, who articulates his concerns about vaccine safety. My concern for autism began on a flight to Florida in February of 2010. On that flight I sat next to a woman from the same town as my son. She was traveling with her young son with autism. One of the physicians who treated her son had told her there was no hope that he would......
The fall season is such a nice time of year. The leaves begin to change colors, rain and snow begin to fall and the cold air makes for a perfect excuse to brew hot cocoa and warm tea. This season, Jenny McCarthy and the GR team thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite things about fall and we hope you will add to this list in the comments section. ...

How Magical Is The Bullet
Jul
15
Like any parent or working professional, I’m always on the look out for anything that makes my life run a bit smoother and save me time. Enter the Magic Bullet. When my nieces each took one to college with them, I was intrigued. But I already had a blender and a mini food processor, so I thought I was covered. But when it comes to single serving shakes and smoothies, the Bullet is a great alternative. Creaminess is something kids miss when dairy is removed from their diet. To scratch that itch, prepare a No-Milk Milkshake, adapted for a single serving:...
Non-Toxic Cookware & Storage
Jul

We often spend a lot of time talking about what foods to eat and not eat regarding diet for autism. However, we spend less time on how to prepare the food, cook it, and store it. You don’t need fancy, expensive equipment, but you will want pots and pans as well as storage containers from non-toxic materials.The cooking tools and storage materials we use can be harmful, depending upon the materials they are made from. The chemicals from pots and storage containers that our food comes in contact with leaches into our food, and therefore exposes us to toxins. I’d like to talk about common cooking equipment and storage materials that are healthier, and how to avoid the toxic ones....
Conventions relating to autism have the tendency to leave lasting impressions on the guests, speakers and exhibitors that attend them, but the AutismOne 2011 conference, held just outside Chicago, truly lived up to its name as the largest and most versatile of its kind. The five day event, held from May 25 to 29, boasted over 150 presentations from the most highly regarded experts in the field. On a regular basis, parents of children with autism living in the surrounding region struggle with long waiting lists from professional treatment providers and costly premiums from insurance agencies. However, they were delighted to know that registration for this year’s AutismOne was absolutely free....
Food For Summer
Jul
05
Each June as the school year comes to a close, I meet the advent of summer with a mix of relief and trepidation. Relief that we are on an extended hiatus from schedules, homework and sports practices; trepidation knowing that the novelty of sleeping in will wear off only to be replaced by a chorus of “There’s nothing to do”, “He/She is bugging me” and my personal favorite, “I’m bored.”I get a reality check the week after school ends when the kids are fighting and I need to get some work done - a curse and a blessing of working at home. And then I remember how important it is to strategize in order to make our summer as peaceful......

The concept of “good” and “bad” cholesterol is a frequent topic of conversation these days. While diet plays an important role in the formation of cholesterol, the genetic factors involved with the synthesis and transport of cholesterol are what typically predispose an individual to cholesterol-related health problems. Many people are unaware that much of our cholesterol is actually manufactured by our body’s own cells. Determining the significance of serum cholesterol values is not as simplistic as some might believe.Discussions about cholesterol in the media are focused primarily on elevated levels in relation to cardiovascular risk; rarely taken into consideration are the risks associated with insufficient cholesterol values of 160 mg/dL or less....

By Tim Welsh a.k.a @TannersDadAutism. This is a topic that I could write a book about. So many words come to mind… Answers, Support, Respite, Education, Freedom, Camaraderie, Community, Personal Growth, Advocacy, Legitimacy, Integrity, friendship, Humanity, and many more flood my mind. During the week of May 25 – 29 the world joins hands at the Generation Rescue/AutismOne conference in Lombard Illinois at the The Westin Hotel. The conference would be complete, educational and inspirational even if you were only able to attend a few of the activities. Jenny McCarthy and the teams at AutismOne & Generation Rescue have some amazing events planned. They educate, reward, share and pamper the mind, soul, and body....
