Hey ya'll... It is a heat wave here in Saint Louis this week.  We stayed in the cool today and played board games.  My sister Megan likes to play Candy Land, and Hi Ho Cheerio.  I played outside for a few minutes, however it was too hot to stay out too long.  My dad has been working with me on eye contact and it is really helping.  I also have become very attached to my cat Thomas.  I used to not pet him too often, but lately he feels good to me, so I spend a lot of time with him. 

My dad also took up playing guitar again, so I have been getting music therapy everyday.  I love it.  I especially like that all of the hobbies my dad has been taking up, are therapeutic to me.  We had a great Father's Day.  We went to church and then to my Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house.  I love it there, because Maw Maw buys organic bananas and blueberries and I get to eat them even before dinner.  They are my favorite. 

Well I hope everyone stays cool and please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers.  I do have a specific prayer request....

There is a program in Massachussetts called the Son Rise Program.  My parents have been accepted for a scholarship to go and learn how they can help me more.  It is an amazing program.  They have to come up with $1,000 dollars plus travel expenses in order to go and learn about this exciting opportunity.  Check them out on the web at www.autismtreatmentcenter.org.  They really would benefit from it considering my 2 year old brother Caleb, and my 3 year old sister Hannah are also greatly affected by Autism. If you're able to help in anyway please email or call my mom and dad.  They are going to be posting more about it in the days to come. 

Thanks and God Bless,

Hey everybody.  It is definately time that we get going on this blog business again.  First let me say I am super sorry for not updating any of my recovery. We have been so active lately.  So much has changed. 

We have had a complete life change. My family is so much stronger than what we used to be.  We are healing!! With the Lord's help our bodies are starting to do what they were designed to do.  Our entire family has adopted the Wellness approach to life.  This means that we believe that our bodies have the ability to heal themselves.  Getting them to this point is the challenge.  We have an innate intelligence, given from God within us to do this. 

We are still on a GFCFSF diet, we are also sugar free, reluctantly sugar free.  Sugar is causing major yeast issues in my home.  We eat everything organic and mostly raw.  We eat raw fruits and vegetables..  Yes I am now eating vegetables and brown rice.  I rarely have anything fried, even in Olive Oil.  I go and get an adjustment every couple of weeks and so do my mom, dad, and my brothers.  My brother Caleb who is 2 is doing amazingly well.  He was beginning to act a lot like me when I was two.  Mom and Dad started taking him to my doctor and he is now starting to say a few words also and screaming a lot less. 

I now can ask for what I want with sentences.  I most recently asked for more strawberries.  I love them. 

I am also potty training.  This has been most challenging for everybody in my house.  Some days I want to do this and other days I don't.  My dad took the summer off from school and I really enjoy listening to him play his guitar.  Music really moves me. 

I should also state that 2 weeks ago I was spotted using a spoon to eat my cereal.  This was the first time I have done this since I was 9 months old and began to regress.  My parents flipped out over this.  I am still pretty inconsistant with this, but hey it is progress not perfection. 

We joined a new church in April.  So, it is neat to teach other's around me of what God can do when you put faith in Him and His ability to heal us.  My Grandma tells everyone there that we are a walking testimony.  Then she usually cries. 

I got to go to Chicago last month for a rally.  It was great.  My parents took me to Shedd's aquarium and then I marched all the way downtown to the rally.  I got to meet a personal hero of mine... Dr. Andy Wakefield.  Look him up on the web sometime.  He has a new book out called Callous Disregard.  My Dad is reading it right now and he loves it.  The rally was for Vaccine Choice and Parental Consent.  I'll post some photos and videos on here real soon. 

So, there has been a lot happen.  Now that I've caught you up I will keep on going with it.  I hope everybody has a great Father's Day this weekend.  I know I am looking forward to spending time with my Daddy and PawPaw. 

Love and God Bless,
Clinton xoxo
