Abstract

This study investigates the effects of balanced nutritional intake on individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Given the growing interest in the role of nutrition in managing autism symptoms, this research aims to explore how a well-rounded diet impacts behavioral, cognitive, and overall health outcomes in individuals with ASD. The study involved a group of participants who underwent a nutritional intervention designed to address common nutrient deficiencies, such as omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and zinc. Results indicated significant improvements in behavior, including reduced irritability, hyperactivity, and repetitive behaviors, as well as enhanced cognitive function, attention, and social interaction. Blood tests revealed that the correction of nutrient deficiencies contributed to these improvements. Despite the positive outcomes, variability in individual responses emphasized the need for personalized dietary interventions. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the potential of nutrition as an adjunctive therapy for autism, while highlighting the importance of further studies on long-term effects, individualized approaches, and the integration of nutrition with other therapeutic strategies
