“The Kid-Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook”

A guide to the gluten-free, casein-free diet

Pamela J. Compart and Dana Laake, authors of The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook offer three free articles for the new school season: “School Lunches for Kids With ASD: Delicious, Healthy & Possible”; “5 Back to School Lunch Ideas”; and “One Person’s Yummy Food Is Another Person’s Yucky Food.”

The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook tackles all of your concerns and serves as a how-to guide for beginning and maintaining a healthy diet that can improve your child’s brain function.

The book features two parts: “Get Ready! Get Set!” explains how you can accomplish these types of diets and why they work, and “Go’” includes a wide variety of kid-friendly recipes that are all gluten- and casein-free, including simple recipes for dressings, condiments and sauces. You’ll also find recipes that are soy-, corn-, and egg-free for the child with multiple food sensitivities.
