Could help manage Autism

Children with autism may also be impacted by MCT oil. In one study, people who followed a ketogenic diet for six months saw good overall changes. For 6 of the 15 children who participated in the study, adding MCTs to a ketogenic and gluten-free diet significantly reduced their autism behaviors.

Autism is an illness that affects people differently because it is a spectrum disorder. This indicates that including MCT oil in your child's diet may be of variable benefit or may have no impact at all. Further study is also required in this area. Consult your doctor or a nutritionist before beginning a ketogenic diet to help control your child's autism.
