Getting rid of autism content in the article

Hello! I noticed that this article for Coeliac disease is for some reason included as a Low-importance article in the Wikipedia Autism project (which has, on its project page, a defined scope that clearly does not include medical issues other than autism). This Coeliac article also has some blatantly irrelevant content on the unsupported idea that a gluten-free diet treats Autism Spectrum Disorder. The content has 3 of its own sources, but the sources relate only to Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity. I would like to correspond with another editor before deleting the content, but this is a featured article that demands exemplar quality and relevance.

Went ahead and deleted the paragraph about Autism. On April 18th, posted here to request input from other editors; decided to be bold and delete after over 20 days of silence.

The content was nice but was a relic from the article's distant past that, in a modern scientific context, clearly does not relate to Coeliac disease. Plus, this is a featured article which shouldn't have any persistent errors and which should serve as an example in all ways for new articles to follow.
