foods effects

So a while back we had to cut out dairy for chubs. He gets none, and we cut out gluten for a month to see what happens. We ended up going to gluten again but less of it, we now use a lot of rice, potato, sorghum, tapioca,and anything gluten free. The only time we use anything else is if its whole wheat.
So how does this fit? We discovered that Chubs angry outbursts, the raging lets up to almost gone as long as he gets no dairy. If he has even a small amount wow watch out, he is violent, screaming, freaking over everything, refuses to do what he is asked, and can not retain anything he is taught. Take away dairy and he retains it better! it is amazing. So I made everyone go dairy free for a short time. I noticed a difference in them all. Unfortunately some refuse and so I am slowly working everyones milk into being dairy free milk. They all have it more often than they know, they always love whats cooked. I cant get them to drink it yet. Hope soon.
The gluten we went without 1 month. I think we need a redo and for it to be a few months to really know. I am fairly sure someone will have an issue of some kind. That starts next month.
Dyes play a role also, avoid them and artificial colorings of all kinds, artificial flavors as well.
I have discovered a few items that contain one form of milk or another, for someone with a severe reaction this could be bad, it could be the cause of morning or bedtime battles, or sickness.
One toothpaste! Can you believe it!
Dairy is something many react to and are not aware of it. If you are dealing with a dairy allergy here is a list of the various names it goes under on labels. I write a column on eating dairy free you can follow for ideas, recipes, and also ask questions and I will respond if possible to help.

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. The choice is different and unique for each mother and each family. Many are able to be 'full-time moms,' at least during the most formative years of their children's lives, and many others would like to be. Some may have to work part- or full-time; some may work at home; some may divide their lives into periods of home and family and work. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
M. Russell Ballard

Looking for a new way to word statements on Autism

Me and "AAH"( formerly boo, 16 yr old son) were on the computer. I am getting ready to put links on here. One site says "Treating Autism" He is offended by it. I have taught my kids mainly him, that its just him, part of him, not to be ashamed, embarrassed, hide it or anything. Its just a part of who he is, helps shape his personality.
So to us its not a disease, just part of who they are, what shapes and makes them unique, and all my children are unique in their own way.
So when he saw that it bigged him. He says "Its not a disease, its not treated like a disease" Many see it as a disease. I have taught him, and the other kids, and other people to accept it. We have focused on ways to handle the effects, symptoms, characteristics brought on by AS. Never treating as a disease. So We are trying to figure out a new way to word that.
Whats a good way to change the statement "Treating Autism" and similar statements? Some of our thoughts are
Learning to live with Autism
Accepting and adapting to characteristics of Autism
Learning to live outside the umbrella
what are your thoughts?
I know some of the issues brought on need to be handled, these kids need to learn to move forward, past some issues brought on by living under the Umbrella, but it should not be looked at as a horrid disease, I love my AS Boys. They are loving, caring, and sweet in their own ways!
