What is the connection between autism & mitochondrial disease?

If you are a parent concerned that your child doesn't " fit " the typical

presentation of a child with autism, PDD, or ASD because of underlying medical

issues, please read about autism and mitochondrial disease. 

 

Research in this area is still evolving and the connection between the two

diseases, although recognized for over a decade, is rapidly gaining traction and

attention.

Subject: [ ] Inositol and Choline: What are the expected benefits

if supplemented?

Good afternoon, all,

I have seen alot of references to Inositol and Choline. What are the expected

benefits of taking these supplements?

My son has visual stims and delayed expressive language. These are our main

issues. Would inositol or choline help?

Any recommended brands?

Just wanted to get a better understanding of why these are being used.

Thank you in advance,

Jerry
