Our bodies react differently to the foods we eat. Some people do better with higher protein foods, and others are better with higher carbohydrates. My cousin, Tim, who has adult autism is on a high carbohydrate diet. It seems his body handles the carbohydrates better, thus making his life less challenging. I remember when they first put him on this diet, and took his cookies away from him. He couldn’t have fat, or too much sugar, so his carbohydrates  are good carbohydrates . During the first few weeks, my aunt faced many challenges, and problems with his change in diet. She had to keep her eye on him almost 24/7. He would wake up in the middle of the night (he never has slept well) and go right to the refrigerator for a sweet snack. He had been gaining unhealthy weight, and had been acting out a lot. He now is used to his new diet plan, and he is much more responsive than ever.
