ABSTRACT

Introduction: autism spectrum disorders affects social interaction, and behavior. Several studies describe a variety of therapies including gluten-free diet and casein and supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a diet without gluten and casein, supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids in Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Methods: non randomized controlled experimental study conducted during eight weeks in fifteen children diagnosed with ASD in an age range of 3-12 years, with nutritional evaluation and the CARS scale at the beginning and end of the study, were divided into three groups, group A: diet without gluten and casein, group B: diet without gluten and casein plus omega-3 in a dose of 1.2 g / d and group C: control without diet and without supplementation. Performing statistical analysis with the statistical program MEDCALC®. Results: Of 15 subjects, 20% belonged to the female gender while 80% to the male sex with an average age of 7 years. When comparing the behavior, a significant difference was observed (p = 0.0006) in group B. Conclusions: The diet without gluten and casein and those with omega-3 fatty acids can be an effective nutritional therapy to improve behavior.
