Aspies For Freedom

What is the GFCF diet supposed to do, anyway? Reduce stimming and hyperactivity, or something more?

I don't know enough about all this to really make a comment yet, but I just had to. Reading that transcript of those dopey mothers really made me mad. See, this is why I think NTs should have a minimum IQ of 130. They need it.

I do know that many parent feed their kids total crap so is it possible that going on this gluten/casein free diet is forcing the parents to feed their child better and that's why he/she is doing better? Giving harder to digest wheat and pasteurized milk products to a sensitive system is just that much more difficult. And what about the tolerance of non-gluten grains like corn? Those are hard on some peoples' systems also. My autistic brother in law loves to cook and eats really well but eats a ton of bread (homemade bread is his specialty) and lots of cheese. He's only one person of course but he's healthy as an ox and is not affected by wheat or dairy.

80% of adult autistics are mentally ***? Utter BS...I sure as he** am not, and nor are ANY of the ones I know of. They must really think so little of adult autistics. Sad, considering their kids will be our ages someday.

Disclaimer: I have nothing against those who are indeed mentally ***, just against stupid claims like they make. I won't even address the damage done by restraining their kids like that. Utterly sad.

Yes, I wonder where they got their figures from? I'd be more inclined to think that 80% of adult autistics have average or above average intelligence.

If any parent tried this with a NT kid, it'd be called child abuse.

Heck, if somebody even did this to an animal, it would be called abuse. Sad

whatever became of this diet fad,anywho?

If they did this to an iraqi terrorist prisoner, the soldiers responsible could get court martialed.

They most cerainly aren't.

Besides, if someone put me on the GFCF diet, then I'd be miserable. Most of the foods I like have something in them that's prohibited in that quack diet (soy, wheat, pasta, potatoes, etc.).

my mum put me on the GFCF diet not to cure me but to improve concentration and because i had a intolerance needless to say i was extremely unhappy and i have sworn i will never go on that damn diet again!

Gah! I couldn't eat that shite if I tried, not that I've ever tried, but from everything I hear, it tastes like rabbit food that has in turn, been made from chemically reprocessed cardboard, diet food usually does, I tried 'quorn' once, textured fungal protein, that was about as bad as it gets Tongue
