There are websites for both the GFCF diet and the SCD diet. They will both explain their diet. According to most of the research- there are two types of autistic kids-overmethylators and undermethylators. Pfieffer Institiute has information on both, and advice on what supplements to give- therefore, one diet may benefit your child over the other. There is a lot of homework/research to do when your child is diagnosed with a ASD. A knowledgeable specialist is also a huge plus, regardless of cost. This diagnosis is extremely expensive to treat also, but worth it. IGg & IGe testing are helpful also. My son is casein free only- as he has no regression/inappropriate behaviors from gluten, as well as he has tested negative for celiac and allergy to it. We were gluten free for over a year with no change. We avoid apples, grapes, corn, corn syrup, artificials and casein. Fresh and healthy- our diet is cross between a non-dairy Atkins and the Paleo.
