[blindkid] Info for parents of children with Autism

[Carlton Anne Cook Walker]

Hi all,

I'm posting this information.  It is directed at parents of children with
Autism Spectrum disorder.  Blindness is not a factor in this post.  However,
I know that some of our blind children are also on the autism spectrum as
are some sighted siblings.

Please share this as you deem appropriate.

*Exciting News!*

grants! If you, or someone you know, would like to be a part of this
opportunity into the biomedical treatment of autism, please submit an

Generation Rescue is proud to offer a grant program for treatments that may
not otherwise be covered privately or by other third-party funding sources
such as school districts, county programs, insurance, and/or other grant
making entities.

Generations Rescue’s Rescue Family grants are designed to provide support to
individuals and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders. Each grant
recipient will receive:

   - two doctor visits with a specially-trained physician who treats autism
   - vitamins, minerals and supplements for 90 days
   - a Generation Rescue Rescue Mentor
   - dietary intervention training

*This grant is only applicable for families who have not done biomedical
treatment, with the exception of the GF/CF Diet.*

Please review the questions provided below. If you can answer yes to any of
the following questions, you are not eligible to apply.

   1. Has your child seen a DAN! doctor before?
   2. Has your child received private lab testing from Great Plains, Doctors
   Data, or Metametrix?
   3. Has your child been on anti-fungal or anti-viral therapy?
   4. Does your family make over the median income for your zip code?
   5. Does your child currently take any supplements other than fish oil?
