There is no doubt in my mind that autism is very much connected to the immune system. I have seen it in my own child. When he is sick his symptoms are much more exacerbated. This is why food sensitivities and gut issues play a role for many autistic children. Another study pointing to the immune system.

We all know that what we put IN greatly influences what we put OUT and I don't mean in the bathroom (though that can be another story on its own). The more we intake healthy foods the better output we have in our every day. Autism seems to enhance this basic truth to an entirely higher degree. Could be there is a lesson in an Autistic child's experience we can all learn from.
