When people think about a gluten-free diet, we most often associate it as a cure for Celiac disease. Barrie Silberberg, the mother of a son with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the author of The Autism and ADHD Diet presents the case for removing gluten, casein (milk protein), artificial dyes and preservatives from the diets of children and adults with ASD and ADHD (Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder).
Silberberg provides readers with extensive resource links, menu plans, food lists, recipes, a restaurant guide and practical tips for adhering to the Autism and ADHD diet at and away from home. The author emphasizes that the diet is not a cure, but rather an alternative way to improve the adverse behavioral traits associated with these complex disorders.
