I was searching online one day for more info about chicken broth and its glutamate contents – you know, just a normal day. I came across a blog post by Kaayla Daniel. Not only did we have the same name but her last name is my husband’s name. Anyhow, her post wasn’t about autism or anything like that – just about broth. But as I browsed her other pages I really liked the type of information she was researching. She seemed very knowledgeable in many different directions. So I sent her an email and asked her if she had heard about Laminine, which my son is taking, but no one really has much info about. It turned out that she was going to be a speaker at an online autism conference, one I never heard of, called Nourishing Hope for Autism Summit. Since I missed out on seeing the presentations online, I did some research of my own on what each of the twenty four presenters are about, to see if I could find any more enlightening opinions related to autism from these folks.
