Do you have any good links/sources on changes in diet (eg eliminating gluten) affecting autism symptoms? I'm having a FB convo about this and was told you have info on this.

I'm not a great resource for GF or GFCF diets. IME, only about 15% of the families who do a diet see any measurable impact and none of those are giving up their mainstream services, so it's hard to say where that impact is coming from.

It seems the kids who do benefit tend to be those with pre-existing gut issues (constipation/encopresis), eczema, asthma, more severe impairments, more atypical behaviors and/or intellectual disability.

Special Diets for Special Kids is a book that many like.

This is another option/website with information as well-
