I carry a PDD-NOS diagnosis, although I don't consider myself to be autistic. My mother had me put through the Lovaas Institute's ABA program from when I was three to mid-to-late elementary school (thankfully after they stopped using aversives). She also had me see several other behavioral psychologists outside of Lovaas, had me take DMG (dimethylglycine) for some years during my childhood, and put me on a very strict gluten-free casein-free egg-free diet from when I was three until I was seventeen, when I just couldn't take it anymore. Pretty much everyone else in my family thought that what my mother was doing, including my father in hindsight, was needless, especially the diet. That being said, I actually had a slight egg allergy when I was younger, but the diet was overkill, and when I did finally go off it, my mother was very worried about what would happen, and she still is to an extent.
