The link between autism and allergy has never been scientifically proven, but there are plenty of parents who insist that it exists. In this article, 38-year-old Jackie Stephenson from Louth in Lincolnshire, UK, explains how she lost her little girl to this heart-breaking condition, and why she believes a change in her diet brought her back.

Today, when I watch my daughter, Georgia, playing in the garden with her brother, Ben, I can hardly believe the nightmare this family has been through.

It's still the little things that amaze me - Georgia writing me a story on the computer or taking part in her school sport's day races. Georgia looking into my eyes and holding my hand as she tells me about her day.
