The Keto diet is a high fat, adequate protein, and low carb diet - have you heard of it?
I am familiar with the ketogenic diet.  I am diabetic and think this diet can help me to reduce my glucose level.  Will it help?
Carbs are normally converted to glucose, but in the absence of carbs, the liver converts fat and your energy is derived from that, so I'd imagine it would help a great deal.
Yes, i think so too.  I am not sure how this diet would help autistic children, though. What is Autism?
Autism and working memory
Autism is a variation of neural development diagnosed as impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. It affects an estimated 1 in 100 people. Autism is one of three recognized variations in the autism spectrum (ASDs), the other two being Asperger syndrome, which lacks delays in cognitive development and language, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), which is diagnosed when the full set of criteria for autism or Asperger syndrome are not met.

Ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies
