A Complicated Disorder....Autism

I want to share some new research information concerning the complicated disorder of autism. There are many different types and manifestations of Autism. Almost none of the 10 known genetic foundations for Autism are connected to each other. It's as if 10 different roads connect at a central location and continue to diverge in different directions and in an unpredictable way. That is the reason that research is focused on the common links of Autism rather than strictly on causes. Can supplementation help? According to the Autism Research Institute, up to 70% of children with Autism benefit from methylcobalamin, a form of B-12 that is essential for brain development. There are also positive studies on other nutrients, such as B-6, Cysteine and DiMethylGlycine. These nutrients seem to benefit people with elevated homo cysteine. However, nutrients that help one person with Autism many not help another. The bottom line howerer is that elevated homo cysteine is strongly related to the development of Autism. Please discuss your health care professional when seeking nutritional benefits for your child.
