The rapid rise (or recognition) of autism in recent years has prompted a shift to the use of alternate therapies. One of the most promising of which is diet.  While there is no proven treatment for autism, many parents of autistic children have implemented a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet in the hopes of limiting their child's symptoms.  To date, this has proven to be one of the most effective therapies, above and beyond the success of individual drugs.  Below are some related articles on the topic of autism:
