Despite growing anecdotal reports that a gluten-free, casein-free diet could dramatically improve cognitive skills in autistic children, a recent report suggests that changing the eating habits of a child with autism will likely have little impact on their development.
The study was conducted by researchers from Golisano Children's Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center and evaluated fourteen children who were put a gluten-free, casein-free diet for at least four weeks. The children were evaluated for changes in attention, sleep, stool patterns and characteristic autistic behavior. The researchers found no significant changes int he children with the change in diet.
