The original paper (PDF free to read) https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4426/14/6/641

See how journalists sensationalize. The original title

"Reversal of Autism Symptoms among Dizygotic Twins through a Personalized Lifestyle and Environmental Modification Approach"

became

"Autism can be reversed, scientists discover"

which is an entirely different thing. Facepalm.

There is no "paywall". It's the annoyances of Javascript. Disable Javascript to read the article. All the major browsers allow users to disable Javascript. It can be done on a per site basis. There is no "non-JS paywall", e.g., access requiring a password, with respect to The Telegraph. It is relatively rare to see "non-JS paywalls" for news sites on the www. Very few restrict access with a password. Disagree? Name s…

A JS paywall is still a paywall, it's just that it doesn't affect all clients. Usually temporarily - often the provider adds a non-JS paywall later.

Even Experts Exchange, notable because you could access their locked content if you scrolled down a lot, eventually updated their website[1].

How is it sensationalizing? I would not have thought it possible to reverse autism at all, now I do. Only read the abstract but it’s still pretty sensational.

"The twins underwent behavioural analysis, speech therapy and a strict gluten-free diet and nutrition programme as part of the trial to reduce inflammation." "The diet was casein-free, a protein found in milk; low-sugar; had no artificial colours or dyes; zero ultra-processed foods; primarily organic; and locally sourced." Once again, this shows how important a balanced microbiome is for good lealth.

How do I learn the principles of the ideal diet? I'm a 35 year old Indian following traditional diet but with much less rice and more pulses/beans with organic ingredients (if they are are not lying).

E.g. the paper talks about autism symptoms, the sensationalized headline mentions just autism.

What is autism if not a collection of symptoms?
