It would be nice to get back on track looking for the real cause(s) of autism.<p>Our son was diagnosed and has received intense IBT/ABA therapy (along with spech, OT and PT).  It has been fantastic.  Total turn around.<p>No low gluten diet, Jenny McCarthy BS, just Cognitive Behavioral Therapy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy</a> .<p>Sadly as of the latest information I have, we don't know what causes Autism and CBT is one of the only effective means for treating it.
