Its not a culural issue its the fact that children literally arent getting necessary protein while developing which is decaying their brain lol

Would it be as logical to conclude that this is caused by selective eating, food sensitivities or the gastrointestinal issues common in autism?

if you aren't a qualified doctor with years of experience of dealing with patients with ADHD, then I would highly recommend you to shut your disrespectful d***licker.

ADHD is a disability that millions are untreated for worldwide.

Have some respect.

speaking from experience, I take it?

Man... please stop this thread is so embarassing, and that's coming from the undisputed king of embarassing threads.

What if I’m autistic about maintaining a healthy diet?

I wish op was still fat

I’m declaring war on fat gay kids

I’ve worked with 2 and 3 year olds with autism man this makes no sense

I give my son nothing but Muscle Milk for this very reason.

A 3 year old cant be vitamin deficient?

They can be tested for vitamin decencies and treated and still be autistic, you think children don’t have these tests at their checkups ?

it’s due to the brain and your social environment, not your diet

exposure to a bad diet doesn’t help as it further complicates gene behavior, but it is not the direct cause of either disability

dietary changes could actually be used as a tool to empower the child into better learning, like grapes instead of candy as a reward system

autism causes bad diet

no, that’s just not true. researchers don’t even know what aspects of the foods are causing our bodies to react so negatively so to say this just misses the mark entirely. they know it’s the processed foods that are f***ing us, but they don’t know what about the processed foods is bad. with that, you can’t then say “lack of protein is the reason” when there’s PLENTY of research on the effects of socia-learning environments on brain development of those suffering with disabilities before even getting to diet, which again is an influential factor in future brain development, but not the cause at inception of genetic predispositions/mutation

it would make more sense if you said their parents lack of a nutritious diet caused a genetic mutation within their child at birth, but that’s got nothing to do with the kid’s lack of during brain development while born, it just means they were predisposed to have the condition which could have been caused by anything during the 9 months in the womb + parents diet

I’m currently helping with a dissertation on all of this, apologies in advance for the paragraphs lol

They can have the tests sure how does that debunk them being vitamin deficient. Just because they get tested doesnt mean the parents feed them correctly

I disagree. In my health journey i have discovered that everything about how your brain works is dependent on sleep, exercise, and diet. I know for a fact the reason for my mental health struggles is poor diet as a child

Billions if people are vitamin deficient man why don’t they all have autism?

Processed foods are filled with chemicals and microplastics. Thats the reason

Cope. People in Africa(where I currently am) and the global south dont eat processed foods like Americans they eat actual slaughtered meat abd whole grains. Most people in the world(Africa, Asia) dont have poor diets like US

Okay? Are there not ANY developmental delays in African people at all? Let’s be real here

The rise in Autism diagnosis is because of the access to testing, people have been Autistic since forever it was just categorized as something different

My wife is African and because she grew up eating natural foods her teeth are completely white. While mine are stained yellow from sugar. You can take that as an example of how damaging the American diet is to the body

And I wouldn’t disagree about natural food being better for dental health but linking it to autism is a ridiculous stretch

Autism is also genetic, you can be the healthiest baby from birth but if it’s in your genes, it can’t be prevented with a natural diet
