Hi there,
I am questioning myself if I can do sth. with my diet. I eat mainly vegeterian, sometimes vegan.
I am not eating a lot of sugar beside drinking lemonade and eating sweets from time to time. In some weeks I eat a lot conveniece food, which pushes the sugar, surely high above my regular consumption.
I love salt and know that I should reduce it a bit.
Veggies and fruits are dayli.
Did you experiment and experienced differences regarding your diet and autistic symptoms? I found some ppl talking about positive changes coming from their diet, but couldnt find scientific work about.
Protein. Your brain has to work harder than most peoples and protein is good at repairing the tissue. I ate a lot of meat but its expensive now so lots of eggs, beans and chickpeas in my diet, and tinned fish, but you can get plenty of protein without meat
There is research into moderate protein and reduced gluten and casein diets to help with autism by universities and autism organisations. Googling autism diet protein or autism diet gluten should bring a couple of those up. But this seems to be a well rounded compilation of the ones ive seen:
