A case report published in 2015 in the Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine has important implications for children (and adults) suffering from neuropsychological disorders. A 13-year-old boy following a lacto-vegetarian diet suddenly stopped talking and exhibited “rigidity, immobility, staring look, disturbed sleep, ideas of worthlessness and hopelessness, aimless wandering, guilt and suicidal ideas.” Some may recognize these symptoms as similar to those of autism.
