Does my grandaughter sighns of autisum

My Granddaughter if she hurts herself will scream if anyone approaches her to see what happened its like she is embarrassed you cannot console her or ask what happened she just screams louder and turns away and will not listen to you its not even drawing blood just something minor or if she says something cute or funny and you laugh about it she just falls apart crying as other children would just finish the story or giggle and I do not mean we laugh hysterically just giggles listening to her. Her teacher from pre k and kindergarten this year think she is slightly autistic. First day of Kindergarten she cried for 2 hours straight and her teachers say socially she is not connecting with the kids. Please what can we do

If your granddaughter is diagnosed with autism, I would like you to know that according to some research (which may or may not be known to or accepted by doctors) there can be a connection between autism and the dairy protein Casein, which cannot be properly digested by some people and can produce a by-product called casomorphines, causing problems such as autism. The solution to this problem is to remove all dairy products from their diet, as traces of casein can remain in any part of the dairy product (such as the lactose).  I hope that whatever is the cause of the problem, that an accurate diagnosis can be found for your loved one, as it must be very concerning for you all.  Here is a link which may be helpful:
