What diet is better depends on the individuals childs needs. Some Autistic children will have digestive problems which can be aided with specific diets, low-carb diets can also be especially beneficial to Autistic people as it improves neurological functions, but most children who are Autistic can eat the same diet as any other child without any problems. If your child has participial problems then use the diet that specifically tailors to those problems, and by all means try things like low-carb diets to see if they help, but no reason to mess with your childs diet without reason.
Yes but it can also be diagnosed with an endoscopy
Celiac's Disease.
Definitely. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with celiac and went on a gluten free diet that the heartburn finally went away. It was a miracle after years of misery.
There are many clinics that provide check-ups for things such as gluten intolerance. Visit a hospital or one if these walk in clinic and schedule an appointment with them regarding your issue.
Yes, it's called a gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance. A gluten intolerance is not as serious because it is a non-autoimmune condition and is not as sensitive. Where as with Celiac Disease it is an autoimmune disorder and causes people to be much more sensitive.
Gluten shouldn't be bad for you unless you suffer from a gluten-intolerant medical condition, such as celiac disease. Such medical problems need to be properly diagnosed by a medical practitioner and discussed with a medical specialist in that field, who will either help you decide on an appropriate dietary approach, or can refer you to someone specializing in the nutritional requirements of gluten-intolerant individuals.
McDonald's do not have a specific gluten free menu for its patrons. It claims that its french fries are gluten free, but this is very debatable. So no, nobody has purchased a child's gluten free product from McDonald's.
Many cookie and brownie recipes can be modified to be gluten-free with gluten-free flour and other ingredients.

Of course it is, cinnamon is just cinnamon, why would they add wheat etc?
Although many people do not have Celiac disease and have not been diagnosed with gluten allergies, they may still be sensitive or have a bad reaction to gluten containing foods. It is a notoriously difficult diagnosis to make, and many people find after cutting it from their diet that they feel better. Additionally, gluten is not necessary for a healthy diet and cutting wheat out is not a bad idea for anyone.
Gluten bread is not "from" any specific nationality or culture. Many different nationalities from many parts of the world make different types of bread from different types of grain, most of which contain some gluten. Wheat perhaps is the most common flour used to make bread, which does contain gluten.
The medical term is "celiac disease." It is an inherited autoimmune disorder where the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, causing damage to the lining of the small intestine. This can lead to digestive issues and malabsorption of nutrients.
