associate with autism. Severe digestive disorders are extremely common in children with autism. They have to be very careful with their diets and take supplements. There are so many other physical symptoms, however the children are unable to communicate them. Their inability to socialize is what everyone associates with the disease, however, there are many other aspects of it that are not mentioned in the press.
