Autism is a complex brain disorder that has no known cure. And there is no certain diet is proved to be an effective treatment for autism.

But many parents??attempt to help their children with diet treatments.??The most popular of these??alternative treatments are diets that eliminate gluten or casein, or both.Proponents of restrictive diets believe that casein, a protein found in dairy products, and gluten, a protein found in many grains, affect brain development and behavior, causing autism in some children.

But,there’s no scientific evidence that this is true or that restricting these foods improves autism. Furthermore, restrictive diets can result in nutritional deficiencies in growing children.
