Written by Taylor Woosley, Staff Writer. Evaluating 15 studies centered on nutritional markers and abnormalities present in children with ASD noted lower levels of choline, vitamins B6 and B12, and abnormal amino acids profiles. Various studies show that increasing and balancing nutritional levels may help reduce symptom severity of ASD. (more…)
