Why Choose a Gluten-Free Diet?

Gluten-free brochure

Most people's bodies can process gluten proteins. But some cannot, causing both behavioral and digestive symptoms that are often misdiagnosed as food allergies. Recent research suggests that the inability to break down certain foods may affect neurological processes and have a causative role in autistic behaviors. Dietary and biomedical interventions seek to correct the impact of food sensitivity on autistic patients.

L.A. Times: Families of autistic kids sue over cuts in therapy

February 2010: Families of autistic children in eastern Los Angeles County filed a class-action lawsuit today against the nonprofit agency that provides them with state-funded services, alleging that it had illegally discontinued their therapy for the disorder. The agency, the Eastern Los Angeles County Regional Center, informed more than 100 families late last summer that the therapy—known as the DIR model, or "developmental, individual difference, relationship-based"—was being eliminated for their children because of state budget cuts.

The therapy is the basis for a popular treatment known as Floortime, in which a therapist follows a child’s lead during play activities to build communication and social interaction skills.

Brain imaging may help diagnose autism

January 2010: Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) process sound and language a fraction of a second slower than children without ASDs, and measuring magnetic signals that mark this delay may become a standardized way to diagnose autism. Researchers at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia reported their findings in an online article in the journal Autism Research.

"More work needs to be done before this can become a standard tool, but this pattern of delayed brain response may be refined into the first imaging biomarker for autism," said study leader Timothy P.L. Roberts, Ph.D., vice chair of Radiology Research at Children’s Hospital.
