A diet rich in vegetables, fruit and whole grains could help ease the symptoms of autism, according to a new study.
Researchers found eating a low glycaemic index (GI) diet, similar to that used by people with diabetes to keep their blood sugar levels stable, reduced symptoms of the disorder.
Their findings could also offer clues to help understand one potential cause of autism, they added.
The GI is a measure of how quickly foods containing carbohydrates, such as breads, cereals and baked goods, raise glucose levels in the bloodstream.
