What We Learned from this Video:

  • Autistic children often have food sensitivity issues. They may seem like very picky eaters and have strong dislikes for certain foods.
  • There is no strong scientific evidence behind the benefits of gluten-free and casein-free diets yet. When implementing these diets, ensure that your child has no nutritional deficiencies due to the dietary restrictions.

Making dietary decisions for your child can be a difficult process. We are here for you! For more helpful tips on nutrition, take a look at the other e nutritional videos in our free video library.
