I don't know much about autismn, and therefore cant' comment much, but I do remember on a current affair a while back (no, I don't watch it often...) and they had 5 children with severe autism. They changed the diet of all 5 and they improved out of sight. They went from not communicating, to different happy children. I am NOT saying this will fix autism, but I was absolutely amazed at the outcome, these kids were so so much better. Could some of the increases in autism be from the processed foods etc that are given to children, similar to allergies and obesity? The foods they cut out from memory were wheat, dairy and sugar. Was very hard to maintain the new diet, but I guess the families would think that a tiny sacrifice to have their children back. xoxoxo
