I am a 35 year old mother of 2. I have a non-verbal autistic son. I want to lose weight and feel healthy. I am very motivated and feel like it is possible to accomplish anything if you are dedicated and put your mind to it. I want this to be a lifestyle change not a diet. I was told that my autistic son was severaly mentally retarded and wouldn't be able to do a lot.. He is now 11 and potty trained. He may not have any verbal words but he uses a picture exchange communication system in which he request what he wants with a stip and now uses attributes. I refuse to give up and there is always hope.
