This comprehensive guide provides everything you need to transition your child with autism to a nutrient-packed diet. It will increase your understanding of nutrition and autism by
· explaining how diet supports the function of brain and body (including learning and attention, energy production, sensory processing and gut-brain communication)
· describing how a highly processed diet can lead to nutritional deficiencies and how to choose more nutritionally dense options
· looking at the science behind the challenges that children with autism face, such as problems with processing carbohydrates or ingredients such as phenols and oxalates.
