Suggest Medication For Autism
My son is 4 years old, 50 pounds and was diagnosed with Autism in January 2001. We have taken him off of dairy over the last week and swithced him to rice milk. Around this same time we noticed pink circles around both of his eyes. The only known food allergies he has are to some tree nuts (all except for almonds and Brazil nuts). We do not let him eat any kind of nuts, even those he is not allergic to.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As such there is no restriction of any food in kids with autism unless he is allergic, but a good healthy food definitely improves his health. But a child requires interventional program in fact American Academy of Pediatrics recommends at least 25 hours of therapy per week with parental training.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
