Special Diets for Special Kids

An anthropologist by training, Lisa Lewis was a member of Princeton University's computing center staff for a number of years. Her interest in autism began in 1991, when her son was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS). In 1993, she became interested in dietary interventions, and she wrote the first edition of Special Diets for Special Kids in 2011. She lives with her family in New Jersey.
