Hello,

I am new to the list, so please forgive and gently advise if I violete
any rules *nervous smile*.  I have several questions I need to ask
folks, and thought it might be best to send them individually.  Is this okay?

The first concerns how to spread awareness of possible links between
autism and celiac (or just the GF, DF diets). I have celiac, but my
brother refuses to get tested (because he fears the Navy might discharge
him from service).  Recently, my brother's son, a 5.5 yr-old, was
diagnosed as having mild autism.  I am trying to gather evidence to give
my brother about possible links between autism and the GF diet.  There
is so much to read through, however, and much of it is in technical
language.  Can anyone suggest credible articles/websites/resources for
the layperson who is not informed about celiac?  I want to find a few
things to show my brother when he is in an approachable mood.

Thanks so much in advance!  I will summarize responses!
