  • You are going to get a lot of flak for posting this, and I’d suggest removing it.

    A lot of adults living with Autism, particularly those who grew up in the shadow of the vaccine scares of the late 90s are told that autism is something wrong with us that needs to be “fixed”, rather than a part of who we are, and something to manage.

    We are offered and sold products and cures, often by people who do care (in the case of many, parents and family) that ultimately don’t work. For many of the people reading this, you’ve added another entry to the long list of things they’ve been told will “fix” them.

    Please be mindful of the fact that autism as a whole is still not very well understood by the medical community.

    I’m glad that your daughter is doing better.

    But given that even the researchers you mentioned don’t fully understand this relationship themselves, I would suggest that providing a list of foods and why they fix specific problems is not a good thing, and you’re doing harm by posting it.

    You do not know for sure the relationship between those specific foods and behaviour withr regards autism. At this time I’d imagine there’s not a research organisation that does.

    I would encourage the mods to remove this post.
