Autism Index
  • The fundamental idea is that if you can clear up some of the underlying problems internally, then therapy/ language/ cognition/ behavior will progress at an amazingly rapid rate.
  • Different things have worked for different kids.
  • For some it was as simple as just being on a GFCF diet or a particular drug to take them out of the spectrum or close to the border so that minimal therapy could get them out in no time. For Victoria Beck’s kid, the solution was secretin. For another it was Vitamin A. For others nothing has worked.
  • It is each parents choice to decide as to whether to pursue the diet/medical option.

Vitamin B6 & Magnesium

Vitamin B6, taken with magnesium, is also being explored as a way to stimulate brain activity. Because vitamin B6 plays an important role in creating enzymes needed by the brain, some experts predict that large doses might foster greater brain activity in people with autism. However, clinical studies of the vitamin have been inconclusive and further study is needed.

Like drugs, vitamins change the balance of chemicals in the body and may cause unwanted side effects. For this reason, large doses of vitamins should only be given under the supervision of a doctor. This is true of all vitamins and medications.
