Interesting ... does the vitamin D deficiency cause the autism, or does the autism cause the vitamin D deficiency ... which then exacerbates the autism?

This is by far the best Vitamin D3 in nanoemulsion format (oil suspended), according to ConsumerLab.com. My wife takes it every morning and it has really helped curtail her MS symptoms:

the main problem with this study is that the term “autism” is essentially meaningless and is no longer used diagnostically because it’s now recognized that these behavioral problems exist on a wide spectrum, ranging from extremely severe to very mild, so where on the spectrum were the study subjects? ... randomly all over the spectrum, are all located similarly?

additionally, presumably the “magic” form of D3 is simply more absorbable than standard forms rather than actually being “magic”, so one arm of the study should have included much larger doses of the standard form, sufficient to result in equivalent absorption to the “magic” form ...

How Vitamin D is Metabolized

Once synthesized in the skin or ingested through food or supplements, vitamin D undergoes metabolic processes primarily in the liver and kidneys. In the liver, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is converted into 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), also known as calcidiol. This form is often measured in blood tests to assess an individual’s vitamin D status.

Subsequently, calcidiol travels to the kidneys where it undergoes further conversion into its active form—1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). Calcitriol plays a pivotal role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism by enhancing intestinal absorption of these minerals and regulating their levels within the blood.

In my work with many Autism Spectrum children and adults, I have found that a shift in the thalamus being able to process emotions is hindered during the third month of pregnancy.

This results in a super masculine consciousness that processes through the thalamus and hippocampus and not the amygdala. This is why more males have the disorder than females.

The lacking emotional consciousness is why these children tend to be loners.

I usually find a trauma involving the mother at this time that blocks the emotional bonding of the mother and child.

These children are usually super smart, but have difficulty learning with the emotional teaching methods used by elementary schools.

Here is an AI summary..

Vitamin D, particularly through its active form (calcitriol), plays a role in brain function, including potentially influencing the thalamus. While direct evidence of a specific “vitamin D thalamus function” is still emerging, research suggests vitamin D receptors (VDRs) are present in the thalamus, and vitamin D deficiency has been linked to thalamic calcification in animal models.

Additionally, vitamin D’s broader influence on brain health, including neuronal development, neuroprotection, and calcium regulation, could indirectly impact thalamic activity.

Here’s a more detailed look:
VDRs in the Thalamus:
Vitamin D receptors (VDRs) are found in various brain regions, including the thalamus. This suggests that vitamin D can directly influence the thalamus through these receptors.

Thalamic Calcification:
Studies on vitamin D receptor knockout mice have shown thalamic calcification, indicating a role for vitamin D in regulating calcium deposition in the thalamus. This finding aligns with some clinical observations of brain calcification in vitamin D deficient individuals.

Broader Brain Effects:
Vitamin D is known to be involved in several brain processes that could indirectly affect the thalamus, such as:
Neuroprotection: Vitamin D has neuroprotective effects, potentially safeguarding thalamic neurons from damage.

Neuronal Development: Vitamin D is crucial for healthy brain development, including neuronal differentiation and maturation, which could impact thalamic circuits.

Calcium Homeostasis: Vitamin D helps regulate calcium levels, which are vital for proper neuronal function, including in the thalamus.

Neuroinflammation: Vitamin D can modulate inflammatory responses in the brain, which may be relevant to thalamic function.

Potential Implications for Neurological Disorders:
Given the thalamus’s role in various functions, including sensory processing, movement, and sleep, vitamin D’s influence on the thalamus could have implications for neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy.
