some types of diets seem to help with autism as well as a few antibiotics which seems to me - as a non scientist - that it might have to do with gut bacteria as well.

- klmr 7y ago> some types of diets seem to help with autism Sorry, the actual evidence for this is essential nil. The anecdotes are all explainable by confirmation bias. https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/a/43957/82 https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/a/43957/82
- kosma 7y agoThis theory doesn't stand in face of science. However: some autistic people have food allergies and comorbid metabolic problems; addressing those will usually alleviate suffering-caused problematic behaviors, and thus make communication easier. This doesn't mean it was "autism treatment" or "autism diet"; you'd get the same effect if you treated a toothache in a nonverbal autistic child.
