The vitamin D theory of autism http://alliancept.us/vitamind/articles/Autism-Cannell1107.pdf http://alliancept.us/vitamind/articles/Autism-Cannell1107.pd... (recently this theory was accepted by a team of Harvard researchers; more research needs to be done but it looks quite promising)

- blueben 16y agoThis is interesting. One might also assume an increase in autism rates among babies developing in the womb during winter months and babies developing in northern climates. Is this true? Do spring and summer babies have a higher rate of autism?
- adammichaelc 16y agoBabies born in March have the highest autism rate, and black children have higher rates than whites, due to (if the theory is true) vitamin D production being lower in blacks due to high melanin content in the skin. There are several other data points in the study -- it's a good read, albeit quite technical. I'm still pre-med, so much of it is above my head.
