Doing quick search, there is also interactions between Vasopressin and salt and blood pressure. Could ASD be helped by reducing salt? or increasing salt?
I'm not knowledgeable enough to untangle all of the studies where these terms are also used, which I guess is part of the problem this paper is pointing out, that the terminology/naming is confusing.
Is this saying if you have blood pressure problems you might also be at risk of ASD.
Or opposite, if you have ASD, you might have more risk of blood pressure problems.
"The name AVP refers to the hormone’s role in
increasing vascular resistance and regulating blood pressure (via
AVP receptor"
"Given the emerging evidence for central AVP signaling abnormalities
in ASD, we would expect individuals with ASD, or a subgroup of them,
to be at increased risk of AVP-related medical conditions and
symptoms. "
- notaurus 3y agoThe article is proposing the latter. Low AVP could contribute to symptoms of ASD. If this is true, they expect a positive correlation between ASD and other better-known issues caused by low AVP.

- heyoni 3y agoYou’re almost there. It’s saying that you’re at risk for central diabetes insipidus known to cause abnormal thirst and urination in like the next paragraph. What I find hilarious is that the whole first paragraph is about things being named after scientists and then there’s an author named Gesundheit…now I need to look that up.

- loceng 3y agoConfirmed in mice, observed first anecdotally in children with autism. I'm blown away we still as a society don't have a system where all of this information is quickly accessible in a sorted way by various trusted organizations that follow specific protocols that people determine how trustworthy they are.
- c0pium 3y agoThat would require us as a society to develop concrete solutions to determining who can be trusted. That’s obviously impossible, so we’re stuck with the process we have.
- michaelrpeskin 3y ago> Could ASD be helped by reducing salt? or increasing salt? Personal story here (N=1, not claiming anything other than that). My dad is clearly ASD, and has battled high blood pressure for as long as I can remember. He's now suffering the consequences of 40 years of absolute salt avoidance. 1) I never saw and reduction in the ASD over the past 40 years, 2) lack of salt never changed his blood pressure, and 3) now he's suffering other heath effects, but won't listen to me and only wants to do more of the same.
- naasking 3y agoAvoiding table salt thoroughly could potentially lead to iodine deficiency. It was somewhat common in the past so most table salt over the past century has had iodine added to it to avoid this, but it's cropping back up a bit as people avoid salt or prefer to use "natural rock salts" common in fine cuisine, which are not reinforced with iodine.
- hilux 3y agoIodine is in a lot of foods.
- naasking 3y agoIf it were common enough in available foods then they wouldn't have added it to table salt.
- hilux 3y agoIIRC this was added long ago, when Americans ate less meat, dairy, and seafood and were more prone to malnutrition.
- naasking 3y agoAnd yet, levels have been measurably going down, and Europeans are already fairly deficient since they don't have as many iodine supplementation programs: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9459956/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9459956/ https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/iodine.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/iodine.htm
