Autism Commercial
I recently saw a commercial for Autism. It seemed to be taking the angle that the prevalence was shocking. Fourteen years ago, only 1 in 10,000 children was diagnosed with autism. Today, that rate has soared to 1 in 150. It is great that they are getting the awareness for Autism to the general public. It may be good for Celiacs and those with gluten intolerance as well. The diet that some are recommending for Autism includes eating gluten and casein (protein found in dairy) free. I look forward to the day when I turn the channel and there is a commercial to tell the world that 1 in 133 people have Celiac Disease, 98% are undiagnosed. That day will come.
