Protein. Your brain has to work harder than most peoples and protein is good at repairing the tissue. I ate a lot of meat but its expensive now so lots of eggs, beans and chickpeas in my diet, and tinned fish, but you can get plenty of protein without meat
There is research into moderate protein and reduced gluten and casein diets to help with autism by universities and autism organisations. Googling autism diet protein or autism diet gluten should bring a couple of those up. But this seems to be a well rounded compilation of the ones ive seen:

That is very interesting to read - I only learned quite recently that I have been autistic my whole life (in my third decade of life), and in the past, I had been wondering if I had some sort of gluten sensitivity, as I had noticed my psyche sometimes getting quite wonky after eating gluten-heavy meals.
