There is a company called All-Star Nutrition that markets pro and prebiotics to treat autism. This is what they say:
“We don’t listen to so-called experts that tell us there’s nothing we can do to help our kids. We are parents who never give up. we are motivated by helping our kids reach their potential and will do whatever it takes to help them.
“Because we’re fighting against large food and chemical companies, we do things differently. We do things smarter. We pull techniques from other industries and disciplines. We sacrifice. We use nutrition and supplements to provide the foundation our children need to reach their potential. We do the hard things that others aren’t willing to do.
“If you talk with your doctor or look in traditional textbooks, they’d tell you what we’re doing is impossible. Yet it’s happening. Every single day.”
To those of us who are aware, this is the same hype that most quackery uses. They think they know better than doctors.

Is it actually for autism?
No. Not that autism needs to be cured, which it does not. After researching all these probiotics, these are all for digestive issues. These probiotics have heavy side effects. No one should be taking anything without the direction of a doctor. Do not take a chance with your health or your child’s health. If you think your child or you have a problem with your digestion, discuss with your doctor before taking someone’s medical advice who denounces the experience and training for a doctor.
