Autism is a group of disorders that causes social communication, repetitive behaviors, sensory aspects, speech and language challenges commonly in children. There are different therapies such as occupational and speech therapies to treat these autistic children. Nutritious food is a medicine for all diseases. Nutritional therapy is an important therapy to be followed by the children along with other therapies.
