Meet Sacha
When our son Enzo was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and a half, what struck my wife Rehana and me the most is that all the coping mechanisms we were given were designed for us, not our son. There were no treatment options available for Enzo, no remedies, no solutions, nothing to help him with the sensory overload he was experiencing.
Then I discovered the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. With amazing help and coaching from Reach Autism’s Jenny Buckle, both Enzo and I started on the complete diet from scratch – and the results were nothing short of mind-blowing. To see our non-verbal son experience such huge leaps in his development, from behavioural and complexion changes to significant improvements in his fine and gross motor skills, and his ability to focus – it was astounding, and it’s what every parent wants for their child.
As someone who loves cooking, I had taken on the responsibility of preparing all of our SCD meals – an enormously challenging, but rewarding task. While I pored over recipes, experimented with food combinations and developed my own meals, it struck me that I could be doing the same for other families with autism – taking the work out of their meal planning, giving them the convenience of ready-made dishes, and offering them the opportunity to find out whether SCD would work for them too. And so SCD4U was born – a food delivery service focused on flavour, nutrition, and good health.
I’m not a medical doctor. I don’t even work in the field. And I can’t guarantee that your child will show the same developmental progress as Enzo has – because you know as well as I do that every child is different. But what I can promise you is that the meals I prepare are made with love and care, and the hope that your family will experience the same health, happiness and positivity as mine has.
