I know that I am being ridiculous. I know I am. But when the kids were first diagnosed with autism, I spent YEARS blaming myself. I spent years analysing everything I'd done, everything I'd given them, how I'd raised them - everything. To try to find a 'reason'.
I finally accepted that it was probably genetic, that it was just always going to be.
But now this food thing. For god knows how long, lord knows what has been going in the food. We don't know how safe it was, we don't know what chemicals were in there, we don't know ANYTHING.
And I can't help wondering what if it's all the CRAP that's in food. People say there's been an unexplained rise in ASD in recent times. What if that's it?
And I know I am being stupid, but it's probably the only remaining way that I haven't blamed myself and I can't get it out of my head.

Is anyone else starting to think really stupid things about this food stuff?
