Can diet improve functioning for ADD and Autistic children?

As school counselors we often hear parents rave about the positive changes they see in their children with ADD/ADHD or Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) just from changing their diet.  Gluten-free has been a very popular diet for many of these kids and has seemed to make a real difference.  We just recently heard of the Body Ecology Diet and it sounds like it has been quite successful in helping with these disabilities, as well as many other issues such ranging from acne to adrenal fatigue, chronic pain, and fibromyalgia.  Here are links to the website and the page on Autism and ADD/ADHD treatment.  We're going to try it and see if it helps our health issues.  Let us know if you try it for your child with ADD or ASD and how it works.  We'll keep you updated on our progress too!
