Expert Recommendation
"Children on the autism
spectrum often benefit from structured, nutrient-dense, low-inflammatory diets.
Millets and legumes like ragi, foxtail, and green gram are naturally
gluten-free and rich in magnesium, iron, and tryptophan — nutrients crucial for
mood regulation, sleep, and cognition. This wellness pack is a practical way to
nourish the gut-brain axis while supporting sensory health. When introduced
with care, food becomes a foundation for calm, connection, and growth."
