I talk about Autism, a lot

A Well-Written Internet Article Does Not a Universal Truth Make

Sometimes, I am so overwhelmed by the massive amounts of shit information on the internet, that I can only cope by pouring a Jack and Diet and hoping, or denying, that I rarely contribute to the brain numbing, unbelievably dangerous misinformation about autism, and children with different needs in general, that permeates hyperfuckingspace. 

Do you want to know the worst part? It sure as hell isn't the idea that the parents of children with autism are reading this bullshit. It isn't even the fact that professionals in the field are reading this drivel. The real problem lies in the frightening fact that some dangerously small-minded, open-mouthed individuals might read, and worse, share information that could potential harm our children. 

I certainly don't profess to know all of the answers. In fact, I recently learned that I don't have any of the answers but I know enough to know that little tidbit and a few other things, too.  For example:

Dairy Products DO NOT cause Autism

and

Ketchup Makes Everything Taste Better... Except Ketchup.

Goodnight,

S

It is true! Dairy products do not cause autism! However, if a child with autism is lactose intolerant, then their symptoms may be worse when exposed to dairy products. Of course it makes sense - if you have a child that has difficulty with expression that is in pain, they may scream as their form of communicating pain. Then when you take the cause of the pain away, it makes sense that they would scream less. However, going dairy free is not a cure, and it appears that they are cured, then they were not autistic in the first place....

I work with autistic children in a hospital setting. We have many children who have parents that insist on a gluten free dairy free diet.

I always hear that a gluten free diet is better for autistic kids but I've never found any research to support this.

What are your thoughts on this?

Gluten causes inflammation in the body, which makes symptoms to get worse. Anything, including dairy, which also causes it, makes symptoms worse. I had an autistic son 22 years ago before drs knew what it was. I discovered gluten free to lesson his symptoms when "gluten" had to be explained. Whole new world, now.
