Ha, I had to talk to my autistic son last night about his rice as a comfort food thing. He’s a rice glutton. He would have downed a large, $10.00 fried rice in a sitting.
We never did try the gluten free diet that possibly helps with autism because there would be almost nothing he’d eat if we did. Rice is gluten free but he likes his cereal.
You should check out the GAPS diet. It was developed by a neurologist to help her autistic son. It’s not easy, but it works.
