Autism is hereditary.
It can be related to inability to properly digest wheat products and or milk products.
For those who cannot handle milk products properly, soy is the alternative. But soy tends to reduce male hormones and causes other problems.
Soy is much much more common in our diet today, because it is one of the least expensive oils. I am not a tree hugger. We farm. But I have reservations about GMO crops. You cannot argue the efficiency of production, but it may be opening Pandora’s box with health risks.
There is no doubt a genetic component to autism, as with most diseases and syndromes. But as with just about everything else to do with autism, the genetic component isn't simple.
Autism is hereditary.

I can’t buy off on this theory. No one anywhere in our family had any form of autism. We have traced our family trees way back.
No one had any problems with wheat or dairy.
I had two normal kids before my third, who has high functioning autism.
But I’ll tell you this — right after the MMR shot, which he received at 12 months, his behavior declined. He would have baseball-sized hard black stools he couldn’t pass. He became more irritable and would NEVER sleep.
By 18 months or so, I knew something was off, but just couldn’t put my finger on it. By 2, he woudln’t respond to us calling his name. By 2.5 or so, I’d take him to playgroups and he wouldn’t engage in any sort of imaginative play like the other children.
What turns a normal one year old into this by 2 years of age?
I’ll tell you one thing — doctors were clueless and could have cared less. He didn’t receive a diagnosis until he was 4 1/2, delaying a lot of therapy and early intervention he could have had.
