I have been saying this for years!!! I have always held this view on 'enviriomental triggers' on Autism and related conditions (including mental health issues) that are now called 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS)' by Dr Campbell-McBride.

*** Are you all aware that anyone with ASC's and related conditions are being discriminated from accessing a 'Gastroenterologist' after what happened with Dr Andrew Wakefield that no UK Consultant Gastroenterologist will attempt to assess and examine a child and/or adult and comment on state of their 'gut'.... This is being stated by Dr Campbell-McBride, then if it's true then the Autistic Rights Movement and others need to take this up as a disability discrimination, equality and human rights issue, because it putting 'us' at risk... I have personal experience of this in my own case here in Hull and East Yorkshire and also my GP trying to get me out of area referrals outside the area - No Consultant will assess and examine me and I am loads of losing weight 4 stone) and unwell.
