Bertrand laughs... the sequel.


Today I sat in on Bertrand's class at his "preschool", the Carmen B. Pingree Center for Children with Autism. I left with such a full heart because the staff there treats Bertrand (and all their kids) with so much love and respect! As a result, they can and do work miracles. The video above showcases the simple joy of playing with a rainstick which we learned there today!

In class, B touched the pages of a book on his own initiative and throughout the day he laughed more times than I could count! I am so proud of my little man! It seems that he is finally turning the corner with his broken arm. Also, with the ketogenic diet ratio change 3 weeks ago and the addition of branched chain amino acids, is it possible that we're finally seeing the results?
