Abstract
Celiac disease is a gastrointestinal disorder affecting approximately 1% of the population. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) describes a range of developmental disorders that affects communication and behavior with no known cause. Several epidemiological studies have explored a possible connection between celiac disease and ASD. Aims: to evaluate the association between celiac disease and ASD.

The screening for CD is recommended in all children with autism, even if no gastrointestinal symptoms are present.
