The “Autism Diet”

I came across a couple of interesting articles about the “autism diet”. Some pros, some cons in these articles. My customers and friends with children on the autism spectrum have had positive experiences with this diet. They have told me that their children have increased ability to function and improved behavior when they remove wheat and dairy from their diets.

What have been your experiences?

Tom’s Shoes – Entrepreneurship & Philanthropy

I saw a great segment on Tom’s Shoes this morning on CBS Sunday Morning. Blake Mycoskie started the company in 2006 with a mission to give away a pair of shoes to needy children around the world with every pair of shoes sold. While I’m sure that the bottom line is important to achieve this goal and be able to give away shoes, I think that the premise to do good and not just make money for money’s sake is huge and I applaud and admire him and his company.
