The role of the immune system in the development and management of ASD is attracting considerable global interest. It may represent one of the most valuable interpretations of this complex group of behavioural disturbances. The mucosal immune system has the greatest number of innate immune receptors in the body and is exposed on a daily basis to a greater number of immune challenges than the rest of the immune system does in a typical lifetime. The interpretation of the challenges relies extensively on immunological tolerance being functional and proportional. The gastro intestinal tract receives its greatest immune challenge from the food selection we make. There is considerable opinion that manipulating this immune response by using amongst other agents, food selection and or mediation may lead to improvements in the health and function of individuals in the ASD spectrum.

The immune system is prone to the same grave misfortunes as any defense system handling weapons: collateral damage that comes with the destruction of the enemy on one’s own territory and friendly fire due to mistaken identity. Whereas the collateral damage is the price we pay for clearance of infections, autoimmunity is a pathological process. Nevertheless, the effector mechanisms involved in both processes are the same. Whether environment can be a cause, a trigger or an amplifier of an autoimmune disease are questions that are being intensively investigated.
