> I suspect that it's an adaptive reaction to prenatal exposure to stress. The imbalances of endorphins, [[serotonin]], catecholamines, and other nerve-regulators that have been seen in autism sometimes can be produced in adults by combined [[fatigue]] and poor nutrition, and when the liver's glycogen is depleted, it can be hard to restore the balance. Prenatal influences of different types could damage connectivity, which permitting cells to survive. Normally, a large proportion of [[brain]] cells die before birth, because of limited availability of glucose. > Since autism typically involves high [[serotonin]], things like [[thyroid]], lisuride, tianeptine, and [[gelatin]] could be helpful.
