Gluten free diet

It won't help. I have Aspergers and have never been on such a diet and have no need to. I don't know about your son's circumstances, but I would guess that this would not help him either, unless he is medically intolerant to gluten and/or casein.

My support worker always tells me how motivated I am compared to many of the other people she supports, many of whom only consume junk food. Diet invariably influences behaviour, but all your son needs is a healthy, balanced diet, made up of all the main food groups. Try wholemeal pasta/rice instead of white, provide fresh fruit and vegetables, and protein in the form of milk /cheese/meat/pulses etc. I don't know your son's age but small children require full fat milk in order to develop healthy bones and teeth.

The gluten/casein  free diet is a marketing con because healthy AS children don't need to be on it. Real intolerance, however, is a completely different entity. If concerned, speak to your doctor.
