Honestly, I read through the article pretty quickly and I missed that there was some attempt at a control. The statement that mislead me was "Most of the children in the study, six out of seven, caught up in all of their learning skills and their language...", which seems like a strange thing to say if there was a control group (aren't the control group also a part of the study?).
There were enough red flags that I'm pretty sure this was not a very scientifically robust study. For instance, even for a very small sample, wouldn't you still say how many out of the control group caught up (e.g. 2 out of the 7 control group members).
Also, I wonder if the person evaluating the symptoms knew which were the control versus test subjects?
