The concept of autism was introduced by Leo Kanner 72 years ago, and a year later, Hans Asperger described a milder form of the disorder known as Asperger's syndrome. Nowadays, we refer to these disorders as autism spectrum disorders. Increasingly, reports are emerging that the proper way of eating can exert a positive impact on the symptoms of this disorder. Is this true? Can we control the development and course of the disease through proper nutrition habits?

Co oznacza autyzm?

Autyzm jest zaburzeniem rozwojowym układu nerwowego, które pojawia się w wyniku nieprawidłowego funkcjonowania i rozwoju mózgu w okresie wczesnego dzieciństwa. Należy do grupy zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu (ASD). Dzieci z autyzmem mają trudności w nawiązywaniu interakcji społecznych (np. brak zdolności do współtworzenia wspólnego pola uwagi), wykazują zaburzenia w komunikacji (np. nie wykorzystują mimiki twarzy do uzupełniania przekazu werbalnego) oraz rozwijają nietypowe wzorce zachowań (np. powtarzalność ruchów, brak zainteresowania zabawą). Objawy te zazwyczaj stają się widoczne około trzeciego roku życia dziecka. Współcześnie autyzm diagnozowany jest u chłopców prawie pięciokrotnie częściej niż u dziewczynek. W ciągu ostatnich dwóch dekad częstość występowania tego zaburzenia wzrosła ponad dziesięciokrotnie, osiągając poziom około 1 na 100 dzieci. Analiza przyczyn wzrostu zachorowalności wskazuje, że oprócz poszerzenia definicji autyzmu, istotny wpływ ma zmieniające się środowisko.

Czy dieta może mieć wpływ na terapię autyzmu?

Spożywane przez nas pokarmy składają się z różnorodnych składników, takich jak białka, tłuszcze, węglowodany (cukry), minerały oraz witaminy. Proces trawienia w organizmie umożliwia przyswajanie tych składników przez każdą komórkę. U większości dzieci z autyzmem występują niedobory enzymów trawiennych, zwłaszcza tych odpowiedzialnych za rozkład kazeiny – białka mleka – oraz glutenu – białka zbóż. W wyniku tego białka te są rozłożone jedynie do peptydów, które u osób zdrowych nie zostałyby wchłonięte. W większości przypadków stwierdza się u nich nieszczelność jelitową, co prowadzi do przenikania szkodliwych peptydów do krwiobiegu i narządów, w tym mózgu. Dysbioza jelitowa jest głównie spowodowana obecnością drożdży, w tym Candida albicans. Patogenami są opioidy (gliado- i kaomorfiny), które w mózgu działają podobnie do morfiny, wykazując działanie psychoaktywne. Gdy docierają one do mózgu, mogą wywołać efekt podobny do działania narkotyków. Dzieci mogą stać się uzależnione od określonych produktów, co potwierdzają rodzice dzieci z autyzmem. Dzieci często ograniczają swoją dietę do mleka, chleba, pizzy, ciastek, sera lub jogurtu. Narażenie organizmu na te produkty może prowadzić do trudności w nauce, koncentracji oraz komunikacji werbalnej i niewerbalnej.
