Thanks for posting this. My son was diagnosed with PDDNOS at the age of 2. At 3 he was completely non-verbal and displayed all the telltale signs of autism. We took him off gluten and casein and he has since been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and is a very articulate young man. He is able to verbalize what happens to him when he has a dietary slip up. He has reported the same thing of feeling like there are ants all over his body. He also says he can tell when he gets something with gluten in it because his brain goes all fuzzy and he feels like he is in a long tunnel and can't get to us. The doctors say the diet doesn't matter (in addition he is on all organic food and we do no chemicals or food dyes), but he is able to tell us quite the contrary.
