One of my twin boys is just diagnosed With autism. I know the Gaps diet quite well as I tried to do it for them in the first 1.25 years of their lives. As I started to know Ray Peat more I moved away from that diet as it emphasizes fats as the main energy source. Now that he is diagnosed, what should I do? Also I am quite lost as I tried to follows that diet for the initial stages of their lives even without a diagnosis and apperantly it didn't work. My understanding is those type of diets are trying to reduce serotonin to treat, but my guess is that at the same time they are reducing the metabolism. Maybe they cure autism in the short term but in the long run, problems might show up in other forms.
Any suggestions? Advise? I feel quite confused and hopeful as I already implemented that diet and besides I do not believe that anymore.
