The Autism definition can be understood in a few simple ways as shown here. I have outlined some of the main issues that present themselves in autism that autistic people deal with daily. To define autism it could be tricky so here is an insight to the conditional issues presented within Autism spectrum disorder. 1.

Executive Function Issues: Because of the way the brain communicates function and abili...

So can going gluten free really help with Autistc people? I’m investigating all that right now. As a common knowledge based idea, lots of people recommend going gluten free for people on the autism spectrum. In terms of the reasons for this, there are mix responses. The first you may hear is fantasy misconception that gluten free can cure autism (this is NOT true - autism cannot be cured). The other reason is that people on the autism spectrum usually have GI issues (gastrointestinal) like IBS etc. Keeping this in mind, it is found that gluten may irritate GI conditions more than if you excluded it from your diet. So In conclusion, I feel that going gluten free can help with some GI issues for sure, but it isn’t a cure for any traits of autism.
