Go to the LDN website and click on contact us and e-mail Dr. Gluck at that

e-mail address provided and ask about the dosage of LDN per your son's weight

and age for treatment of Autism.

How old is your child and what is his weight? The LDN use for autism is new to

this forum but interesting. I think the youngest for LDN here that I've seen

were boys with muscular dystrophy and they may have been 12 and older. I am not

aware of any children under 12 that use LDN. I know weight and dosage of LDN

are quite different for animals as Dr. Bihari told me that so I figure a 2 to 8,

9, 10 year old might need a lower dose but I don't know just how much. That's

why I think you need to ask the experts in Dr. Gluck & Dr. Bihari.

how the patient is doing ..

All the Best
