Celiac Disease Presenting as Autism
Journal of Child Neurology, 06/30/09

It is recommended that all children with neurodevelopmental problems be assessed for nutritional deficiency and malabsorption syndromes.

We hope that this case report will draw attention to the need for biochemical assessment of nutritional status in children with unexplained chronic illness. Thank you.
