Some children with Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD, will feel and behave better with some dietary changes. No one diet is right for every child with ADD. Experimentation can help you learn which foods are a problem for your child, but there are some diets that are commonly suggested to help children with ADD. Dietary changes will not cure ADD, but may reduce symptoms and for some children, allow you to reduce or eliminate medication with your doctor’s supervision and approval.

Autism can effect social behaviors, sensory comprehension, language development and more. How these symptoms display in each individual may differ and some people with autism may only have a few of these symptoms.
