I see so much misinformation about diseases that it makes me sad since the public is so misinformed. Go to the website of Dr Perlmutter to get a list of scientific articles about treatment of autism: http://www.drperlmutter.com/learn/studies/?study_tag=autism In short: it is not genetic and treatments without horrible drugs already exist.

Why was this downvoted? Even if you don't believe in alternative modalities the link is actually quite interesting and so far the content presents some intriguing content.

PepeGomez, the other commenter, has made it clear that you're spouting nonsense. He's made it clear that it's a problem of not talking to children enough.

That's not what I said. I said children not being to exposed to language, that is, other people talking. It's a well known thing that if language isn't acquired within a specific period, the window of opportunity closes and it's no longer possible to (fully) learn it.

wikipedia only shows mainstream "common" knowledge. Dr Perlmutter refers to published peer-reviewed scientific articles which say that diet and microbiome are important factors and the articles show large improvements with diet change and probiotics, much larger than with drugs. So think again, or read the scientific articles.
