How effective is treatment for ASD at RCBM?
Treatments and services for individuals with Autism can improve a person’s symptoms and ability to function. Early intervention focused on social skills education.
From a nutrition intervention standpoint, it is important to implement large prospective controlled trials to investigate serum levels of folic acid in individuals with ASD. Studies have found that vitamin B6 and magnesium addiction to a person’s diet reduces anxiety and aggression, improves eye contact, increases intelligence quotient (IQ), and improves social interaction. In a recent double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving oral vitamin D supplementation (300 IU vitamin D3/kg/day), it was found that children with ASD significantly reduced core ASD symptoms as a result of supplementation compared to the control group.
