Celiac is a co-morbid but not a part. It's good to know it might be a part of someones problems
but it seems like some people want to force glutin free stuff on you like its a cure.

I think its worth a try, some autistics definitely improve a lot on a Gluten Free diet. However, even the mother who discovered it, says success was about 33%. She never claimed it was a cure-all as some people seem so desperate to believe,

Sincerely,

I was diagnosed with Asperger's at age 24, and I've recently known that I'm also a Celiac.

I suspect there's at least a slight connection between both.
