1. academia and the medical profession have been on a 20+ year war on fat and
2. the affluent and extreme parents are more likely to heed the advice of the “experts” and
3. the brain is composed almost exclusively of cholesterol and
4. according to Adelle Davis, children require about 30% of their calories from fats and
4. autism has been identified as a problem of the brain
It blows me away that no one has made any effort to investigate a possible link between low-fat diets of children and pregnant mothers and autism.
Of course, this is just supposition, but that's because no one has done any research on it.
For anyone who considers this a possibility, and since the “experts” have yet to determine what causes autism, never, ever, ever give pregnant women, babies or children reduced fat, low-fat or skim milk. Whole milk only for those who can drink it.
Agreed. While this new drug might alleviate symptoms, it’s still not going to the root cause. We used to hardly ever see this problem but like everything else, there is an autistic child in nearly every extended family group these days. There is something in society today that is causing more and more of this be it autism or peanut allergies or ADHD, etc. It’s not just that doctors are more aware of it, it is because there are larger and larger portions of people who have it.
