    Has anyone experimented with nutrition to help alleviate autistic challenges?

    This article about the ketogenic diet has a lot of good information about the keto diet and its effect on metabolism and health (just ignore the obnoxious know-it-all tone of it). https://www.popsci.com/not-in-ketosis

Its more of a last resort because the ketogenic diet it is very restrictive and its reported to be...

    Has anyone experimented with nutrition to help alleviate autistic challenges?

    I suspect that it has something to do with getting research grants and other funding. Perhaps there is more money for those who say that they aim to cure rather than aim to help.

The aim is to 1) see if there is a significant difference in the eating disturbances of adults with autism compared to adults without and 2) to...
