Hi there,

I am questioning myself if I can do sth. with my diet. I eat mainly vegeterian, sometimes vegan.

I am not eating a lot of sugar beside drinking lemonade and eating sweets from time to time. In some weeks I eat a lot conveniece food, which pushes the sugar, surely high above my regular consumption.

I love salt and know that I should reduce it a bit.

Veggies and fruits are dayli.

Did you experiment and experienced differences regarding your diet and autistic symptoms? I found some ppl talking about positive changes coming from their diet, but couldnt find scientific work about.

If you’re veggie/vegan, make sure you eat enough protein. For an adult male, that should be around 100g/day as a probably insufficient minimum.

Also supplement B12, which is mostly found in animal products.

Mostly and more importantly, don’t blindly follow dieting advice from random people on the Internet. Do your own research. Take a blood panel.
