    Hi Namo,

    Welcome to the forum!

    I'm really glad that you have found something that works for your boy. Diet is sometimes discussed on the forum and I am interested as I think that it is a factor in some peoples ASD. Could I urge a bit of caution and proportion that what works for your child may not work for other people's children. Autism is a complex condition and many of us have simply inherited the condition rather than it being due to something like a food allergy.

    The OPs question didn't really relate to how the condition is caused but was more about how the process works after diagnosis.

    if you want to look into what has already been said on diet, and contribute to threads on that then perhaps you might find something interesting from this search...
