I'm starting this blog to detail the my family's' experiment with the ketogenic diet to treat my 2 years olds autism. Since it's hard to implement and pretty unfair to just place him on the diet we will all be doing this journey together.
This experiment might be a complete and utter failure in which case this blog will will be only a few pages/posts long but we will see.
So why the ketogenic diet to treat autism?
Well there has been a few clues that point to the fact that it might work to help lessen some of the symptoms of ASD.
Check out this study (sorry paywall) ---> http://jcn.sagepub.com/content/18/2/113.abstract
Hawaii clinical trial ----> https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02477904
I did some digging and I reached out to both the clinician and a parent of a child in the trial, both confirmed that many children did indeed improve on the diet and many were still on it.

So this is the reason I wanted to start the diet.
Let's hope it helps.
