I'm finding these articles kind of hard to relate them to my career only in the fact that I don't work with patients as
close as physicians, nurses, etc. As becoming a X-ray Tech, patient contact is very limited, but I think the information
is very useful as I become a mother or just as a friend to others.

they cover?
The article does not give references or citations that can be used to find more information about Autism and food allergies,
but it does gives links to other websites about Autism and the food allergy test.
