"…Gluten and/or casein free diet has been implemented to reduce autistic behaviour, in
addition to special education, since early in the eighties. Over the last twelve years
various studies on this dietary intervention have been published in addition to
anecdotal, parental reports. The scientific studies include both groups of participants as
well as single cases, and beneficial results are reported in all, but one study. While
some studies are based on urinary peptide abnormalities, others are not. The reported
results are, however, more or less identical; reduction of autistic behaviour, increased
social and communicative skills, and reappearance of autistic traits after the diet has
been broken."
