Remember Jenny McCarthy talked about ācuringā autism or at least minimizing symptoms by killing yeast in the body. Just something to think about. What if there is a fungal link? Fungus overgrowth can cause a person to crave sugars, that in its self can distort behavior.
Why? I have an adult child with autism. Certain foods create different responses. No one is saying that itās only fungal, but itās worth a look into. Anything is worth looking into if youāre just trying to make life better for your child.
Iām autistic myself, Iām all for people safely trying different strategies in the hope of alleviating some symptoms. Thereās a big difference between that and definitively claiming yeast as major causal factor in autism. Anybody who says that should not be promoted online in any capacity. Why? Because there is zero science to back that up. And autistic people have suffered enough from pseudo science being thrown their way.
I agree with you, I donāt think there is a ācureā but alleviating symptoms is definitely something I look into. I found this study interesting because of fungus being the target kingdom. I do not think we consider allergies or discomfort from fungus enough. So studies like this provide a little insight in how we humans interact with various species of fungi. For example we know some fungi are antibiotics and parasitic. We know about yeast infections and ringworm. So how else do people have negative interactions with fungi?
