play with the critic who swept in or look into posed autism quack stories and legitimate research right now. I'm helping a relative with congestive heart failure, and following the UC studies for a niece. Since you mention it, I recall reading years back that intestinal issues and food sensitivities occur with some autistic people. Thanks for all the info. (There's a lot of fur flying lately about autism b/c of the vax issue. Autism is not a research topic of mine).
It's highly plausible that a biological basis for autism, and many other conditions exists. There was an article a week ago about a new study indicating that inflammation of the brain is related to depression. And I'm sure you know of MIT senior staff researcher, Dr. Stephanie? who's written of GMO glyphosate interfering with sulfides and metabolism in humans especially regarding autism and influencing its rapid rise.
