Diet: The Why

I have found that a lot of people out there consider Autism a "mental illness". I have one word for that, WRONG.

Autism is directly linked to the gut which means it matters, more than anything, what is being consumed.

Behavior and speech can also be directly correlated with what has been eaten. I challenge you to experiment, even if you have typical kids. Give one kid processed, red koolaid and another natural juice. In minutes the processed red dye and sugar will act as a stimulant and you will certainly have your hands full!
Now imagine an autistic kid, with a highly sensitive gut, how important it is to monitor the intake!

As described in "The Brain Food Cookbook" and other GAPS, autism literature, many foods act like opiates for gut-disabled people. White, processed flour literally can create an LSD like reaction for an autistic kid, limiting speech to nearly zero and educing epic meltdowns.

This is why I am going to encourage you through our experiments to consider investing in your child's diet. It very well may give you a chance to meet your child for the first time; breaking through speech barriers and allowing personality distinction.

  2. This is so true! We have done this experiment on typical and autistic kids (in the family) and it is CRAZY how big the difference is!
