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 following case report reviews the history of a child with autism who after limited response to other interventions was placed on a gluten-free casein-free diet with marked improvement in autistic and medical symptoms. The screening for CD is recommended in all children with autism, even if no gastrointestinal symptoms are present.
