It may stand for multiple things - the most likely is probably Autism Spectrum Disorder - A group of disorders related to what we traditionally think of as Autism.
Sometimes - each case is different. Many children with autism spectrum disorders tend to have digestive problems. Your pediatrician can check your children and advise you on the best dietary direction.

NCEC stands for Non-Categorical Early Childhood. It is a catch-all category for young children (typically 3-5 or so) who clearly have some kind of developmental delay but don't have a definitive diagnosis. Students can start special education in public schools as early as 3-years-old, but they have to have a qualifying condition (i.e.- usually a diagnosis). Some children may have a diagnosis very early on such as in cases of Down Syndrome or Cerebral Palsy. Many children are given a temporary diagnosis of NCEC for special education qualification either because doctors are unsure of the diagnosis (in the case of unusual or rare disorders) or when the child is not old enough to be officially given the suspected diagnosis (for example, autism spectrum disorders or ADHD, which may require the child to be up to 7 for diagnosis, but have shown symptoms sooner).
Exceptional children include those with disabilities (e.g. physical, intellectual, sensory), gifted/talented individuals, and those with behavioral or emotional disorders. They may require special education services and differentiated instruction to meet their unique needs.
