Does An Autism Diet Work?
There are many experts and parents who agree a special diet can help reduce some of the symptoms of autism. Every child is different, but many agree a gluten-free diet is beneficial to reducing the severity of some autism symptoms. Special autism diets are controversial and are constantly being researched. Gluten is found in grains like wheat and rye. Cutting out any gluten containing products like breads and cereals has been found to lessen the impact of speech impairments. Children and adults with autism tend to have dietary restrictions. Reducing or eliminating gluten can help relieve digestive issues as well.

What can you do to help your twelve year old brother who has autism Are there any residential homes in the Albany area for children with autism?
Children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) benefit from intense behavioral analysis (or ABA) instruction (also referred to as the Lovass method), where skills that are learned by observation by typically developing children are taught in small (discrete) segments. Many children with autism also benefit from diets that are free from gluten (wheat products) and casein (dairy products), both which may contribute to biological and physiological abnormalities that can hinder learning. I recommend that you contact the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc., which has an office in either White Plains, NY, or in Rochester, NY. You can access their website at centerforautism.org. The important thing to remember is that autism is a treatable developmental disorder, and that early and intense treatment can yield astounding benefits to the affected individual.
