Hi there,

I am questioning myself if I can do sth. with my diet. I eat mainly vegeterian, sometimes vegan.

I am not eating a lot of sugar beside drinking lemonade and eating sweets from time to time. In some weeks I eat a lot conveniece food, which pushes the sugar, surely high above my regular consumption.

I love salt and know that I should reduce it a bit.

Veggies and fruits are dayli.

Did you experiment and experienced differences regarding your diet and autistic symptoms? I found some ppl talking about positive changes coming from their diet, but couldnt find scientific work about.

I suspect that my wife's uncle has undiagnosed autism and he overcompensates for it. He would obsess about certain foods being connected with autism. He refused to ever eat at the same place more than once every few months and he threw a fit over the possibility of having a plain hamburger because he was overcompensating.
