Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD/GAPS) and Dietary Supplements for Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder

I am proud to share the results of my Master's degree study in the form of scientific paper. It is published in the open access journal Sciendo and paper can be downloaded for free.

I had no funding for this study, only my energy and perseverance together with a huge trust in a healthy diet as one of the ways to support children with autistic spectrum disorder.
