Welcome to Day 4 of the 21-Day Gluten-Free Challenge!** Today, we focus on shifting our perspective and recognizing that many symptoms seen in children with autism *are not actually autism**—they may be related to **food sensitivities, gut issues, or metabolic dysfunction.*

*Key Points:*
*Why Gluten Sensitivity Matters*
Many children with autism are intolerant to *gluten and casein**, but these intolerances often go unnoticed because they **don’t always present as allergies.*
Gluten can **irritate the nervous system**, and the number of people with gluten intolerance is rising, including those with and without autism.
Unfortunately, once a child is diagnosed with autism, **other health concerns are often overlooked**, leading to unnecessary suffering.

*Autism vs. Other Underlying Issues*
Many symptoms parents assume are “just autism” may actually be *caused by underlying health issues.*
Examples of symptoms that *are NOT autism but are often mistaken for it* include:
*Rashes*
*Aggression*
*Tics*
*Anxiety*
*OCD*
*Picky eating*
*Constipation*

*Today's Challenge*
*Write down every symptom your child is experiencing* that you believe has nothing to do with autism.
Start paying attention to these symptoms and *track any improvements* as we continue eliminating gluten and casein.

*The Bigger Picture*
In 2010, **6% of Americans were found to have a gluten sensitivity**—a number that is increasing.
If gluten affects the general population, it’s *even more critical* to assess its impact on children with autism, who often have *more complex metabolic challenges.*

This challenge is about *looking beyond the autism diagnosis* and addressing the root causes of symptoms. Keep tracking your child’s progress, and I’ll see you tomorrow! 💙
