Um, there is no scientific evidence that if an autistic person has food intolerances simply because s/he is autistic. What would be more accurate is: "This person is autistic and also has food intolerances." That has a different implication than "gut problems seem to come with the co-morbid package sometimes." I am autistic and there is no specific evidence of me having food intolerances unless I was taken to see a quack doctor who says that autism automatically indicates digestive problems. My NT cousin, on the other hand, is allergic to gluten and she even gets an allergic reaction if someone touches her after eating gluten. Which one of us is the better candidate for the GF/CF diet? *A whole bunch of people shout out: "Johanna's cousin!"* Yup, I thought so. I am not ranting against special diets for autistic people entirely. I am ranting about how some people think that autism and digestive disorders are automatically linked and how some curebie doctors prescribe a special diet for an autistic person for almost any ailment rather than try to find out the cause.
