But that gives me some good insight as to why he was he was a little defensive. I'm sure he has seen many family's hopes built up only to be brought crashing down. As usual you always bring up excellent points! @ACarLessFamily good point about the “quacks” of course when you’re in the situation its hard to see things from different angles.

On the one hand I feel that any docotor worth their degree should remain as open minded as possible to all avenues..at the end of the day the point is the end result and the end result should be the health of the paitent. I can also understand their adversion to Health professional they don't see as "real" doctors. I wonder how many times they see peoples hopes dashed and health worsend through "quacks". I think its wonderful that he is going to add your book to his reading pile and at least is open to the idea that autisim is no longer stuck in the narrow confines of old text books. As you say the fact that you and Odum are scientifically minded and educated helped your case a great deal, frustrating that Tristans behaviour and improvments wasn't enough! Lets hope you have shown your doctor that autisim is more responsive to naturopathy in the long run than drugs in the short term. Good luck and well done !xxx I always get mixed feelings about the “haughty” Doctor.
