forgotten questions/flours
Spelt is not gf. The only bread I have tried that my son and I both really like is Kinnikinnick's white ALTA bread. When I have used bean flours, I substitute it for the rice flour in recipes, and use tapioca starch and potato starch also. I especially like the mini sandwich roll recipe, which calls for bean flour, from Lisa Lewis's book. You can make lots of flour substitutions if you're concerned about overusing any one kind. I have used arrowroot starch in place of potato starch at times, and couldn't tell the difference in the finished product. As far as the diagnosis goes, I think that autism and pdd-nos are essentially the same thing. They might give a dx of pdd-nos if your son is high-functioning, or has mild autistic symptoms, or if they think you might be too upset by a dx of autism. Hang in there - it gets easier!
