One condition with a controversial connection to gluten intolerance is Autism. Many people feel a gluten-free, sugar-free, casein-free diet (often abbreviated as GFCS diet) helps reduce the manifestations of autism or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). Some people strongly believe autism itself should be counted among the many signs of gluten intolerance.
