I don’t know if I believe it or not, but the notion of gut-brain axis seems to imply that a good diet should help a bit, right?
> The researchers discovered that a small number of biochemical pathways are responsible for the majority of these changes, which could help inform new early detection and prevention strategies for autism. It won’t. Autism is a socioculturally bound diagnosis, not a single disease that exists in biology. It’s a label for those perceived by others in a certain light, defined in such a way that two with the same label…
FTA: "only 10–20% of children diagnosed before 5 years of age able to live independently as adults" ^ the article and the medical treatment is aimed at those so severely impacted/compromised that they cannot live independently.
I feel like this is going to be used by pseudo-science influencers to push trendy diets to prevent autism when this study is observations stage at best.

I know of at least one book written by and for autistic people who advocates for a gluten free diet. They claim in the book that this significantly reduces their symptoms. I don’t know if I believe it or not, but the notion of gut-brain axis seems to imply that a good diet should help a bit, right?

Asperger here, who doesn’t eat gluten at all for almost 3 years now (due to allergy). I cant say it improved symptoms of autism but my life is divided between before/after stopping gluten consumption. I feel like I just started living for real.
