Will a GFCF diet help with the SPD of Autism?

Check with a medical doctor. Last time I checked, GFCF works ONLY if you have a very rare medical condition (such as Celiacs). The "Fad" is just that, not based on fact. The reality is that very, very few people cannot process gluten.

That being said, after you check with the doctor, if hte GFCF diet works for your son (regardless of if he has Celiac or whatever), then go for it. I have seen one young man try it, even though he did not have a medical condition requireing it, and he claimed it helps his Autism. Of course, I believe it's a placebo effect, but it doesn't matter what I think. If it makes him better, then he should keep doing it (with the doctor's help).
