Links Between Vitamin D Deficiency And Autism

Northern Ireland

has anyone any thoughts on this i have recently read some literature on the subject and feel if anything a deficiency wouldnt help certain symptoms, like mood anxiety living in Ireland i am almost certain we are all deficient in vit D but James more so im considering giving him a supplement and i am not sure of the doseage size any thoughts??

thanks@DJkids its hard to even get tested for vit d deficiencies over here so i dont know the recommended dosage for James or in any case if he is deficent and was thinking of taking them also, we get very little sunshine here, it has rained all summer, and when we were in spain we are putting on suncream, so maybe a wee visit to the doctor is in order thanks for your reply x

@A MyAutismTeam Member we have very little help here regarding nutrition and supplements I'm grateful for your input. When taking vit d is there a need for anything else I read somewhere about vit k aiding with absorbsion but there is very little resources here to draw on Your doctor and then hospital referral which can take months and not a lot of support for alternative treatments
